Kick-Ass Review

ArchiveBy Graham ElwoodMay 11, 2011Leave a comment

If The Dark Knight had jokes it would be Kick-Ass. Yes this movie is that good. Dark Knight is one of the greatest superhero movies ever and Kick-Ass is on par. I know the trailer makes it look like a Disney film that you might watch part of if you were on a plane. The whole time thinking, “I guess this film is ok since it distracted me from the two business guys talking about boring bullshit on my flight to St. Louis, but I’m glad I didn’t spend money to see it in a theater.” Fear not my fellow nerds, this film will blow your mind.

A Nightmare On Elm Street Review

ArchiveBy Neil WeakleyMay 11, 2011Leave a comment

There is always a ton of horror movie nerd controversy about remakes in this genre, perhaps more than usual.  And a remake of A Nightmare On Elm Street is way up there on the list.  You seem to either be a die-hard Robert Englund fan and feel like this remake is some sort of personal afront to him and anyone that loves his work, or you have an open mind and take this movie for what it is.

The Losers Review

Let the comic book movie onslaught begin!  Or, actually, you know, continue.  But I am certainly not complaining, no sir, not me.  The thing about all these comic book movies is that it actually gives me a chance to catch up and/or read some series that I just don’t have the time or money to keep up with.  Hey, it’s hard work buying and reading all these things.

Babies Review

For a movie about babies, family, culture, and nurturing, it’s surprising how detached this movie is.

Why do they keep making these movies?! Oh, right, because they make shitloads of money. If people stopped eating donuts, no one would make them.

The London Sci Fi Film Festival and the Apocalypse

It is rare to go to ANY Sci-Fi film festival and not watch at least ONE post apocalyptic movie made by someone with access to a desert. But that is exactly what happened when I went to the London Sci Fi Film fest, which begs the question why? The answer is because just the week before I WAS LIVING IT!!!

Robin Hood Review

ArchiveBy Neil WeakleyMay 11, 2011Leave a comment

You remember that movie the Ridley Scott Directed that had Russell Crowe in it?  That movie Gladiator?  Well, if you don’t, go see Robin Hood.  You’ll get the idea.  Ok, it’s not that it’s so bad, becuase it isn’t.  It’s just that Robin Hood is the same kind of movie.  It’s a big, Hollywood period epic with all the same kind of ingredients just put together in a slightly different way.

Iron Man 2 Review

ArchiveBy Neil WeakleyMay 11, 2011Leave a comment

This is going to be a fairly easy review.  If you liked the first one, this should make you happy.  Now, I’m a comic book fan but I didn’t read Iron Man, so I can’t vouch for the accuracy of following the comics and what not, but as a movie, this thing was big and fun.  John Favreau directs Iron Man 2 from a script by Justin Theroux and they seem to be handling things well thus far.

Sex and the City Rantview

I’ve never taken one of those quizzes that tell you which Sex and the City star you most relate to, though I guess I always figured I’d be Miranda. Now that I’ve seen Sex and the City 2 I realize I’m the Arab guy that has Samantha arrested.
