Editor’s Note: Due to the rambling, incoherent nature of Dean’s recounting of his trip we have presented it as is, without editing. Quite frankly, we didn’t know where to begin. Enjoy. The train was delayed because someone got run over in Burbank. So everyone was an hour late getting here. Then I get my girlfriend’s…
I am going to SPOIL this movie SO MUCH that it will come full circle. I am going to tell you everything about it and then you will go see it just because you won’t believe “X-files: I want to believe.” I have many friends in the arts, and being an artist means that sometimes…
by Graham Elwood I love football. Football and time travel movies have me at hello. So you tell me football and George Clooney. I’m in. I like clooney, always have. This movie missed the mark a little bit but its hard to get too angry when the whole premise is a fictional account of how…
Why Redbelt? Why? Because you have a code. Because you have honor, that’s why. When everyone else has or is in the process of selling out, you say honor and code. Statements written on dojo doorways are sometimes read but rarely adhered too. You instill this code in others. Few, but others none the less.…
There has been a lot of nerd rumblings that this wasn’t going to be good. I did not care. I think there is still some nerd PTSD from the “Star Wars” prequels that had theaters full of tension. Like when I saw “Indiana Jones and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” yesterday. There was a fair…
I’m not going to say “I wish Hollywood would make movies like this,” because I love a big budget crazy rollercoaster. But I will say that this film had the grace and simplicity of “Into the Wild,” with the beauty and power of “Hero.” It’s the story of how Genghis Khan came to power, from…
What the Hell has the Happening to M. Knight? Like watching your favorite ballplayer in a hitting slump, you want him to get back on track. I’m not one of those people who “figured out” “Sixth Sense”. I just loved it. And by the way if you see a movie late in the run after…
“I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it any more.” If you can find a movie from the 70’s more prescient about the world today I’d like to see it. I couldn’t sleep, so I turned on the TV which happened to be on Turner Classic Movies. I watched the end of…
James McAvoy is the dull sad sack of a man who is recruited by a fraternity of assassins to carry out his destiny. McAvoy’s transition from scared mope to highly trained killer almost took too long, but then it made sense. I get annoyed when some regular Joe gets thrown into, or in this case…
If Ben Kingsley were a Jedi he would have more power than Yoda. Yeah, you heard me. More understanding of the force he would have. Wackness is a decent little indie film set in the summer of 1994 in New York. It’s about a high school grad that sells weed and doesn’t have much direction…
