It takes talented people to pull off a comedy that becomes a cult classic. It takes even more talent to pull off hitting the nail on the head when creating a movie which is in a completely different genre, and still managing to maintain that highly sought after “cult” status…
Last year, Chad promised me a review of BRUCE ALMIGHTY that never came into fruition. The crux of his review was to be a comparison of the film’s main character to Carrey’s own career. It’s a pretty good analogy, but it’s not the angle I’m going to take here…
PARTY MONSTER is a mess of a movie. Whether or not that was the intent still stands to be debated, but it’s still a mess…
I used to despise Ninjas. But that’s before I discovered CHEERLEADER NINJAS. Yes, there really is a film out there entitled CHEERLEADER NINJAS. And even more amazing than that is the fact that it’s actually pretty damn funny…
Yes, I realize that it’s been a while since I last popped in with a bootleg toy report, but I ain’t done with this thing just yet. I did skip the month of February due to a lack of time and resources, but I have come back in March for another round of everyone’s favorite flea market masterpieces.
I’m going to do things a bit differently this time around, though. I’ve got a ton of pictures of items that I couldn’t bring myself to buy, but still managed to get some …
Back in the mid-to-late 80’s, when I was barely hitting the point of puberty, there was a show that used to come on every day after school on the kids’ television jugggernaut Nickelodeon called Nick Rocks…
This is a movie about stupid people who ride around in sports utility vehicles chasing tornados around the midwest. You remember the good old days when our protagonists were SMART? What the fuck are these people thinking…
At my local head shop on Sunday (yes, Gwinnett County has those), I managed to snag a few passes to a preview screening of THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT. So, some buddies and I made the trek to Chambodia on Tuesday evening to check it out…
It’s never been a secret that I’m a Tim Burton fan. My love for Burton, however, is a lot different for my love for many of the other filmmakers whose work I appreciate…
I am the grown child of two nearly-hippie ski bums from Vermont. As a result of that, I’ve long felt tied to certain cultural influences that bypass others. I fondly remember my parents getting babysitters for me so that they could sneak off to see some cheesy, early 80s skin flicks disguised as ski comedies…
HATRED OF A MINUTE is your quintessential indy horror flick. Its got the hokey acting, cliché storyline, and token genre legend necessary to push it into the upper echelon of recent low budget flicks of its kind…
Generally, just after I see a film for the first time, I have no problem opening up Notepad (yes, I still use Notepad for everything, so bite me) and starting a review. I don’t set up an outline, I don’t usually make notes, I rarely even read other reviews before I begin…
Look, I told you all many years ago that I love the Muppets, and there ain’t a goddamn thing you can do about it. And my love for Muppets goes far beyond the Kermits and Fozzies and Piggys that appeared on The Muppet Show…
Warning! If you are a smoker and wish to see this film, you may want to wait until it hits DVD or see it at your local cinema and drafthouse. If not, you will be seriously jonesing for a cigarette within the first 20 minutes…
The last thing I’d have expected to see during a busy holiday season is the year’s biggest Chick Flick; but sure enough, thanks to the beauty of free advanced screenings, there I was, watching people win Lady Remington shaver kits and Celine Dion perfume gift sets…
You know, I don’t ask for much, but if you’re going to title a movie BUFFALO SOLDIERS, you can at least humor me and play the Bob Marley song at least once during the duration of the film. Just once. Because lord knows everyone gets the goddamn song stuck in their head as soon as they hear the title…
Over the last few years, I have been privileged to watch the professional growth of Atlanta’s preeminent film reviewer. I have watched his ideas hatch from simple scrawlings on random pieces of paper and grow into first a free Homestead site, and eventually into the pinnacle of professionalism that you are all now enjoying…
A friend of mine told me that I really need to see this film. Our tastes in film vary and we’re not always on the same page, but I figured I would give him the benefit of the doubt…
