A Carnival of Childhood Movies

One thing that we forget as adults, is to have a little fun with the old movies we loved. Maybe this is not the case for everyone, and maybe this is not even the case with you specifically, but there are a lot of movies that we loved as kids and just never revisit. Well, [...]

The Dark Knight Sucks

Everyone online has been raving about The Dark Knight. I’ll address my thoughts about the movie:
Heath Ledger is great as the joker. Not perfect, he has a lot of brains and a little fight, but in the comics version he’s more brutal and disregarding. He doesn’t just throw a wrench into situations, he kills and [...]

Malcolm X Media Review

I somehow missed this movie when it first came around, most likely because I was a kid. Now that I’m older, I thought it was about time I got around to seeing this incredible film. The movie is based on the book about Malcolm X and follows along quite well in regards to the book. [...]

The Crucible Dvd Review

Daniel Day Lewis plays a masterful role in this adaptation of Arthur Miller’s play. This movie is spectacular. The Crucible may be pawned off as another play to movie, but not this one. Not this one at all. Arthur Miller himself did the screenplay and was nominated for an Oscar for it. The acting is [...]

Hard Eight Dvd Review

Paul Thomas Anderson’s name was nothing to me before I watched the films Boogie Nights and Punch Drunk Love, two movies that I absolutely adore.
This film, Hard Eight, is a film that’s really interesting, but really slow at the same time.
THe movie follows a gambler who meets a man outside of a diner and [...]

Weeked Update First Sunday Edition

The first of June! I didn’t think the Earth could withstand so much global warming, or whatever pandemic was suppose to kill us off this time. Whatever the case is, I’m watching Fight Club and writing this (which will be posted shortly, obviously); on this first Sunday of June I have a pair of movie [...]

Lars and The Real Girl Review

Lars and the Real Girl on dvd, is quite the film. It is slow building and never really blows up, like you would expect from a slow burning film. The movie surrounds a man who is an extreme introverted loner. He orders a Real Doll, and pretends that it is real. To help him, his [...]
