Salt Review
Salt takes you to action movie film school.
Valhalla Rising Review
Vikings are cool. They kick lots of ass and they wear those awesome metal helmets with the horns on them. I’d say it’s about time we had a good Viking movie, don’t you? I just don’t know if this is the one. This is sort of a Viking movie that drops acid and it kicks in at the third act.
Dinner for Schmucks Review
Granted, we may be a bit tougher on comedies over here, but that doesn’t mean we’re wrong. Dinner for Schmucks seems to gleefully waste the talents of some very talented people.
A Love Letter to TCM
When I was a kid growing up in the 60’s I would often envision the future. It was almost impossible not to. The space race was in full swing with the Russians. All of us looked up to the Mercury 7. Every little boy (and a few of the girls) dreamed of being astronauts.
Tales from a Comic-Con Virgin
I had already been planning to go to Comic-Con for all four days after ruefully missing the opportunity to buy tickets in 2009. So, when my boyfriend found out he could get free four-day professional passes, I was thrilled.
Stop Whining and Love Comic-Con!
I even love the crappy pizza and mystery meat hotdogs at the snack bars. And why shouldn’t the meat be a mystery? Even the food at Comic Con has a secret identity!
To Boldly Go: My First Star Trek Convention
Yeah, that’s right. I’m a self-professed Nerd, Dork, whatever you wish to call it, and I’ve NEVER been to a Star Trek Convention – EVER. Sure, I’ve been to ComiCon once; I got that under my belt, but this is the convention that supposedly has the Nerdiest of all Nerds. The ones that live the show and movies in their everyday lives; the ones that even William Shatner himself told to “get a life!” Yeah, he apologized later, but you get my point.
Eat, Pray, Love Review
I asked my guy if he’d see Eat, Pray, Love with me. He much preferred to see Eat, Pray, Leave. I get it.
Scott Pilgrim vs the World Review
One must applaud a filmmaker who answers the call of what is next; where is filmmaking going in this culture industry of comic/visual iconography and short-cut phone text vernaculars?
The Expendables Review
Hey, I’m a nice guy. Ask anybody, they’ll tell you. No, seriously, I’m the nicest guy I know – to a fault. But I’m still a guy. I like to hunker down with some beer and chips and watch stuff blow up real good. This movie appeals to every single thing that makes a man, nice or not, a man. What about this movie seemed bad? I mean, really, this thing has some of the greatest action stars of the 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s so far.
