Rethinking Robocop
Yesterday, during commercial breaks of the Saints/Vikings NFC championship game, I was flipping over to watch bits of Robocop 2. When I was younger, I remember my friends would gather to watch Robocop and were very excited when the sequel was announced. Watching it now, however, I see how bad that movie was. [...]
Bring It On: All or Nothing
If “Bring It On: All or Nothing” isn’t the worst movie ever, it’s certainly the worst acted.
Review: The Dark Knight
WARNING: THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS:
Do not read any further if you do not want critical plot points revealed
I saw The Dark Knight on Friday afternoon. Like many movies, I need a few days to truly digest the film. Sometimes, I like a film and later decide I didn’t like it as much [...]
I Reckon I Willn’t Be Watchin’ Firefly
This weekend, I took a stab at the “Firefly” series via the movie Serenity which was delivered to me via HBO. I tried, I really did, but I bailed after about an hour.
I generally believe that even though I don’t watch much Sci-Fi, I probably would like most of it by nature [...]
Bourne Ultimatum is the Best Movie of the Summer
This weekend, Jenn indulged me by seeing The Bourne Ultimatum despite the fact that she really wants to see Hairspray. I was very excited, and after a summer of crappy three-quels (Spider-Man, Shrek, and I’d include Pirates even though I kinda liked it), this one was poised to rock. I loved the first [...]
Six Movies That Are Supposed To Be Funny… But Aren’t
Scary Movie 3
From (at least part of the) team that brought you Airplane comes a new stinker that still riffs off other movies but instead draws on recycled crap like poking fun of Michael Jackson. This movie couldn’t have been dumber if they tried. There is nothing witty, nothing funny, and nothing original [...]
The Draw, and Inevitable Letdown, of Sequels
This weekend, I saw “Pirates of the Carribean: At World’s End,” the third, and reportedly final (but probably not final) installment in the Pirates of the Carribean franchise. Last weekend, I saw “Shrek the Third” and just weeks ago I saw “Spider-man 3.” I am also excited for The Bourne Ultimatim, another “part [...]
Favorite Movies
I posted a random question on OSNews this weekend, What’s you favorite movie?. It got quite a few comments. Although I listed two, I want to, for the record, make a more comprehensive list here. Read on for the meat of it.
Melinda and Melinda
I saw a movie last night called “Melinda and Melinda.” Here’s the two sentence premise: two men – a comedy writer who believes life is tragic and this must be offset by moments of comedy, and a dramatic writer who thinks that only tragedy can make poignant the comedy of life – are a [...]
