Aahh, film-the French called it “Radio For The Eyes.” We in America call it “A Diversion From The Fact That Gas Now Costs More Than A Faberge Egg Filled With Movie Popcorn.” And with a diversion this important, venue is a huge consideration. Who among you hasn’t regretted purchasing a ticket for a movie at…
DetailsThe title of the film “Religulous” is a made-up word, a hybrid of “religion” and “ridiculous.” Essentially, “Religulous” is ridiculous without the “dick” – although with Bill Maher involved, there’s still plenty of dick to go around. The comedian/HBO host/novelist/squire of incredibly hot minority women adds documentarian to his list of titles with…
DetailsI’ve never seen “The Devil Wears Prada”. My wife enjoyed it, but I figured that my having a penis would be a severe detriment to doing the same. Not to sound like a Neanderthal; hell, I cried like a newborn all four times I saw “Beaches” in the theater. I just know what…
DetailsSaw the new movie “Redbelt,” and it was a snooze. It takes a different approach to the martial arts genre, in that it goes the whole philosophical, there-is-honor-in-what-we-do, competition-is-weakness route. Even as a guy fascinated by the concept of discipline and honor in fighting, I say blah– it’s a movie– let’s see somebody get kicked…
DetailsAn angry man types this. Angry for two reasons: one, angry that I paid to see “The Happening”; two, angry because I logged on to this site to see that the lovely and talented Graham Elwood had already taken a run at the film. However, I contend that this film is so awful,…
DetailsYou know what’s difficult? Generating column ideas. You’d think with the vast movie-watching experience I bring to the table I could churn out columns like Keanu Reeves churns out crap. (“Street Kings”? “The Day The Earth Stood Still”? Really, Keanu? That good will from “The Matrix” has officially run out; might want to give Alex…
DetailsIt was right there all along, a story waiting to be written. Sure, plenty of comics and movies have covered the reluctant superhero, a guy who is more or less forced to use his powers for the greater good, to transcend his normalcy and reach heights he never imagined he was capable of. Everybody from…
DetailsThere’s a term, “Christmas in July.” It’s usually used to promote some sort of sale, or cheese up a radio promotion where a station plays Christmas Carols all day to take your mind off the hot weather. Fairly innocuous, usually here and gone before you even notice it’s presence…but for me, right now, Christmas…
DetailsTHIS IS A FUCKING AWESOME MOVIE… but I knew that before I saw it. I have said, since my junior year in some screenwriting classes, that Sci-fi is perfect way of dealing with present day issues. For instance, Battlestar Galactica had human suicide bombers blowing up Cylons and bingo, critics hailed it as greatest TV…
DetailsI love amusement parks! I love almost all amusement parks! From Disney Sea in Japan (probably the greatest amusement park in the world) to the tiny, beach front amusement park of my youth, San Francisco’s now defunct Playland. But one thing I can tell you is that I would never in million years EVER want…
