In all likelihood, people are going to watch Gentlemen Broncos for one of two reasons: 1.) because it’s from the team that created and directed Napoleon Dynamite, a film that has garnered enough “indie” and word-of-mouth street cred for the husband-wife team to pull in an audience for another film or two (I could be [...]
Wine culture can seem particularly daunting to the uninitiated. The sipping, the swirling, the swishing, the spitting, all practices of an art that, for those who are used to pressing their lips to a glass for the sole purpose of having a drink for the sake of a drink, has a such an apparent [...]
Another week has passed. It was a struggle to get some movie time in. Do you think that stopped me? No. I am a professional. So here we go again:
Over the course of a week I watch a lot movies and neglect my responsibilities and personal hygiene, all for your benefit. Here is the list [...]
Todd Phillips’ latest movie is the perfect one-sentence summary: three guys wake up in Las Vegas after a bachelor party, not knowing what happened the night before and find the future groom missing. What happens next is the plot of the movie.
I’ll start off simply: “The Hangover,” is an incredibly fun night out at the [...]
Having been forced to wait over a week to see it, it’s been hard for me not to be influenced by what other people had to say about it. Universally, the consensus from my peers has been, see this movie.Now.Up until then, I’d avoided every single piece of promotional information, review, and no opinion greater [...]
A lot of words come to mind when one thinks of Michael Jackson, legend, controversy, eccentric, but few really had an opportunity to see beneath the surface of the king of pop. Perhaps if more had had that opportunity, the mystery and controversy that surrounded the reclusive star wouldn’t have been as big a deal. [...]
There is no way to get past how ridiculous Matt Damon looks in ‘The Informant.’ He’s gained weight, changed his hair, and fits the role of the awkward bi-polar whistleblower perfectly. I just wanted to get the obligatory “oh my god Matt Damon is so fat” out of the way. ‘The Informant!’ is a comedy [...]
I’ve heard a lot about ‘District 9,’ from amazing to overrated. ‘District 9′ is a project that came out of the defunct ‘Halo’ film that was supposed to be produced by Peter Jackson, and directed by Neill Blomkamp. Based on Blomkamp’s sci-fi short, Alive in Joburg, ‘District 9′ is a very original, extremely entertaining sci-fi [...]
The narrator states right at the beginning of ‘500 Days of Summer’ that this film is not a love story. You think, “Yeah right. It has a boy, a girl, and its about their relationship, how is that not a love story.” Well, I’ll further afirm the fact, that ‘500 Days of Summer’ is not [...]
‘The Escapist,’ is a film directed and co-written by Rupert Wyatt, and starring Brian Cox in a role specifically written for him. The film is about Frank Perry, a man serving a life sentence. Frank receives his first letter in 14 years thats inspired him to hatch a plan to escape from the prison. Frank [...]
‘Children of Invention’ is Tze Chun’s debut feature film, which was based on his short “Windowbreaker,” a short that played at the Sundance Film Festival.
Apparently Fox is a little miffed at their own entertainment blogger Roger Friedman, who posted a review of the leaked version of ‘Wolverine.’ Despite the fact that the review was mostly positive.
The “blogosphere” (god I hate that word) was abuzz with people calling for the dismissal of Friedman, as there had been a boycott of [...]
