So, this may come as a surprise to you all, but when I’m not typing my fingers to the bone for all y’all, I am babysitting an adorable 10-year-old named Kate. Now, Kate was a little miffed at me last week because I got her all excited two weeks ago after I told her I… Read More Madagascar 3(D): Yay Fun!
Dude. What the heck, Ridley. Got me all excited to see this crazy movie you cooked up as a not-quite-prequel to Alien. You had a pretty cool trailer with some nice lookin’ camera work, had a foreboding foghorn sound that reminded me of War of the Worlds and pre-freaked me out, looked like some good actors. But… Read More Prometheus: Wait..I'm Confused..
I had seen the trailer for Bernie weeks ago and was immediately intrigued. And with the art theater’s tickets being cheaper than the ones I would’ve gotten for The Avengers and such, I was leaning more towards seeing Bernie. So when my fellow film nerd Nicholas came to visit me last weekend (yes, last weekend; I… Read More Bernie: A D(m)ocumentary?
Bet you thought you were about to read of a review of The Descendants. Well guess what, dumb dumb? I already wrote that one. This movie is something completely different. And lacks an “s” at the end of it. After hearing nothing from Swapadvd.com for about three months, I got accosted by an email from… Read More Descendant (No. Not Plural.)
Ok, guys. First thing’s first. You may notice a blinking, colorful, not-white, clearly-an-ad box sitting at the bottom of this post. For that, I am heartily sorry. Except not really. Because I’m a college post-grad who needs more money. And you are brainwashed into not noticing these ads because you (like me) see them literally on every site… Read More MST3K: If You Don't Know What That Stands for, Please Leave.
Alright, so here’s an embarrassing confession: I caught myself reading a book about contemporary Korean film yesterday. Yep. It’s official. I have nerded myself out. I am actually taken aback by my own nerdiness. I will no longer make fun of my dad, the history buff, for reading entire books on the Peloponnesian War. God,… Read More Korean Cinema: Don't Knock It Til You Try It
To be honest, even though I did see both Being Elmo and The Descendants in the past two weeks, I really never had time to write about them. So instead of offering up some watered-down, halfassed, twice-as-long description of those two movies that would take about forty-five minutes each to write without any really saying… Read More Two Half-Assed Reviews of Two Actually Good Movies
Oh dear…Has it really been almost two weeks? Jeez…I feel kinda bad. Bet you’re all waiting for the latest reviews with bated breath. My bad, kids. My bad. It’s ok, guys, I know you need your fix. Anyway, so on the rather blustery day (Winnie the Pooh? Anyone?) of Saturday, Allison and I went and… Read More Friends With Kids: Not Bridesmaids 2…But Still Good.
This isn’t really a review of any particular film, but I was just watching Dirty Rotten Scoundrels for the first time and its ending really made me think about how much modern movies contrast those of the 80s and 90s. It’s also quite possible that I am merely blinded by this dynamic duo in action.… Read More Modern Movies Just Don't Know When to Shut Up
So I started watching Winter’s Bone because I had heard rave reviews about Jennifer Lawrence in it last year, not realizing of course that she was also the actress that just starred in the hit The Hunger Games. No, Katniss doesn’t dye her hair blonde. This is a different movie. Starting the movie on Netflix… Read More Winter's Bone: Icy by Every Definition
