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 [...]

People are protesting the movie Tropic Thunder! But not for what you think! This was a step past absurdity for me. (Summary: people are offended at the word “retard” in a movie, and that movies SATIRICAL portrayal of Hollywood’s attempt to Orally Oscarize itself via actors portraying retards in movies). Money quote: The studio arranged [...]

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.

No, not the Roman name for Hera. The movie. It was pretty cute and amusing, the dialogue reminded me a lot of Gilmore Girls though at times – in the non-flattering, name-dropping, annoying kind of way. Because..seriously…MOTT THE HOOPLE? That’s the best you can do? That kid is into some weird shit obscure music. And [...]

HMmm. It’s worth watching, but I’m hoping for a longer, uncut version just to see what the director originally had in mind before it was cut down. Definitely modern sci-fi, and definitely has bunch of buried little nuggets of weirdness. I’m not sure if some of the connections were just plain missing, or should be [...]

Moviehole has an interview up with Keanu here. Lots of stuff there blah blah don’t care. AH HAH! What I do care about is this money quote: I’m cheesed they’re not doing a ‘’Constantine’’ sequel I know; me too. We got killed by having an R-rating [on the first movie]. You can watch Lord of [...]

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 [...]
