I’m calling it right now… “Comedy of the Year”.
Seriously. This movie is hilarious. It takes place in Los Angeles, but it’s obvious that the director knows nothing about the USA that he didn’t learn from watching bad American movies. He also doesn’t seem to realize that the legal drinking age in the US is 21, [...]

Shoot ‘Em Up
September 8, 2007 – 12:40 pm
Shoot ‘Em Up is the most amazing action movie of the summer. It has a higher killing to talking ratio than most of the so-called action movies I’ve seen this year. It also has the most wonderfully unrealistic action I’ve seen in a long time. I just never knew carrots were so dangerous. I counted [...]
Recent Movie Roundup
August 21, 2007 – 10:43 pm
I’ve seen a bunch of movies recently but haven’t gotten around to writing about any of them, so I’m just going to write about the in one big post
Stardust
Probably the biggest problem that this movie has is that it takes a little while before you realize that the movie is funny. It doesn’t really [...]
Ratatouille
July 5, 2007 – 10:51 pm
What’s up with Pixar? Somehow, they are able to produce the best animated films year after year. Ratatouille is no exception. Seriously, go see this movie as soon as you can.
Pixar’s animation was as impeccable as ever. The fur on the rats, whether wet, dry, dirty or clean looked perfectly both [...]
Try transforming into a good director, Michael Bay
July 3, 2007 – 1:51 am
Just got back from Transformers. All plot holes aside, why, may I ask, do you spend millions of dollars on computer graphics and then obscure them with motion blur, flying dirt and night time fights? Oh right, because your movie sucks. Seriously, since most of the fights had to be night sequences [...]
Brandi Carlile - Hallelujah
March 29, 2007 – 11:14 am
Brandi Carlile’s new album is due out on April 3rd. She’s a very talented singer/songwriter whose first album is one of my favorite things to listen to right now. Check out this live video that starts out with The Neverending Story. She then goes on to cover Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah (one of my favorite songs [...]
Zodiac
March 16, 2007 – 6:58 pm
Julie and I just got back from watching the new David Fincher film Zodiac. It proves that Fincher will continue to produce a good movie on every other try. Look out, his next one should be terrible.
Oh, and any movie that cranks up the Donovan during a murder is ok by me… even if it [...]
The Proposition
July 19, 2006 – 12:49 am
Only a few days after seeing Guy Pearce play transvestite “Felicia Jollygoodfellow” in The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert, I went to see him in a slightly different role in The Proposition. Written by Australian goth rocker Nick Cave (who also did the score), this film is a wonderfully crafted study of [...]
The movie that flings its own poo
December 30, 2005 – 12:17 am
My wife and I just got back from seeing King Kong. This movie proves me right about Peter Jackson. You may be one of the nerds who believe that Peter Jackson can do no wrong. Why do you believe that? Probably because he made the Lord of the Rings series. [...]
Serenity
October 5, 2005 – 9:46 pm
This summer, when the Scifi network started playing Firefly, I decided to finally watch what I had always heard was a good show. This had a lot to do, of course, with the fact that the film sequel to the show was getting released soon. I saw it. You need to.
Basically, Serenity [...]
