OK, so it was actually Ninja Assassin that I/we watched last night. And it was everything that I exactly expected except a) way bloodier and b) they were missing the flashback scene where the protagonist learns (or hears about, or sees or whatever) the badass ability that lets him comeback from almost certain death and [...]

Caveat: I enjoyed the movie, toxicly, dangerously, stupidly, rotundly horrid as the script was. How? Because people punched each other. With super powers. So, let’s get this out of the way – this is one of the worst scripts I can remember seeing visualized: scenes make no sense in connections to other scenes, characters [...]

Oh Kevin Smith. *shakes head* You set out to make a mainstream movie (but with lots of cussing!) and you did. This movie was utterly predictable (except that I wouldn’t have been surprised if he had slept with the porn starlet), in all the most standard of ways. There were many scenes that I thought [...]

The movie, of course. The book still manages to be a timeless classic that doesn’t get bogged down in the religious allegories it’s steeped in. (Aside: Can you imagine if this book were written by today’s Christian writers? Wow. No, it’s best if you don’t think about it.)

So we got this from netflix and watched it last night. I wasn’t like, excited to see it or anything, but I did actually want to see it. First off – in case you don’t know (which you probably do) – it’s based on a HORRIBLY mean spirited comic that would never make it to [...]

or so it seems? It took me about a week to watch it – I took a break at the Joker-in-jail scene because it was getting to be too much. Sure, the acting, the special effects, the scenery, props, casting (except for someone with a really old face) was great. But the story? Meh. I [...]

Both were pretty formulaic, but the second was somewhat surprising in its exact subject matter. Pleasantly so. SemiPro is showcasing Wil Ferrel’s declining career. There’s really only so many times you can play the same character without just doing Anchorman 2 (which might actually be good!). That being said, there were some funny parts. I’ve [...]

art movies give me a headache even when there’s sex & nudity.

Don’t read this if you don’t want to be spoiled. I’d also suggest not watching the movie, but hey. The short of it: It sucked. It did not pass go, did not collect $200, and did succumb to the X-Men 3/Bat Man & Robin/three-quel curse. The long of it: The action scenes were really great, [...]

I say “watched” because I’m not sure what you technically call it when more than half the time you have fast forward on. The question now is how much time do I spend describing how poorly it was executed? Hmmm, choices choices. One thing I was reminded of right off the bat is how poor [...]
