A lot of people are diametrically opposed to Musicals. I’m not one of those people, although I do have a low threshold for pain when it comes to the genre. I liked Chicago, dug Evita, and cite South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut as a work of genius…
I am a James Bond fan. Seriously. I have the James Bond edition of Monopoly. I had my Sean Connery imitation down before I was a teenager. I appreciated Connery, tolerated Moore, reveled in Lazenby, loved Dalton, and controlled my gag reflex with Brosnan…
I saw the preview for this movie once, and thought, “Oh, yeah!” I
looked at the cast, the style presented in the preview, and thought it was going to be fantastic. I wasn’t wrong, but my perceptions were a little bit off…
It’s not often that I choose to rebut the views of one of my fellow contributors here at MCFTR. Hell, it’s not often that I find time to write anything to begin with. However, I have to take issue with a recent review posted by our own Justin Patterson. Now, I realize that I’m quite a few months out of date, but at least this will get timed relatively close to the DVD release…
Life got overwhelming, lately. I was about to snap. Thankfully, that’s what friends are for. I had somehow managed to completely miss out on all of the internet hype for this movie. When Chris asked me if I wanted to see something called Snakes On a Plane, I had no idea what he was talking about. I just said, “Oh, hell yes!” Good call on my part….
Lately, I haven’t watched television. I haven’t gotten to browse around movie sites on the internet. I haven’t even really gotten to shoot the bull with friends, all of whom know more about upcoming movies than I do. When I heard that Broken Lizard had a new movie coming out, and then I saw the preview, I was ALL OVER IT. …
First off, I have to apologize for the long absence. Like our humble host, real life had me sidetracked. I had at least six reviews that I wanted to do, but just didn’t have time. I’ve gone to the movies very seldom in the last six months. Luckily, I have a wife who keeps track of things and lets me know when one of the good movies is coming out. So, after a rough week at work, she and I took the boys to the opening weekend of X-Men: The Last Stand…
Reviews. I used to churn ‘em out like a short-order cook with cheeseburgers, but real life got in the way some time ago and I wound up finding less time in which to write them. Along the way, my inspiration sort of fizzled as well. But if there’s anything that can inspire me to crank out some words and stick them in cyberspace, it’s a Kevin Smith movie…
First let me take a moment to address what I believe to be the most damning criticism of this movie. A criticism that I’ve heard people mutter as they haughtily shook their heads. I’m here to tell you though that it is, indeed, possible for a cape to seemingly billow in space. -Now, everybody knows that there’s almost nothing but vacuum up in space. Not only would flags not be expected to wave, but no one can hear you scream either. However… if you’ve flown up high enough that it’s night on the ground below you but you have a line-of-sight angle to daylight beside you, it’s possible to be floating in a completely airy sky that only SEEMS like you’re in space…
Yes, I went to see The Breakup. [The Aniston/Pitt/Jolie joke would go here, if it hadn’t already been done to death everywhere else.]
The previews have propped it up as a comedy, but I’ve already heard the first wave of backlash and it’s warned me to expect a not-comedy about two people sadly breaking up. Man, I would’ve been pissed too if I brought a date to an ironically-titled romantic comedy that turned out to be a literally-titled buzzkiller. And it was a buzzkill…
was a little disappointed when I found out that the Mike Mills that directed Thumbsucker was not the same one that plays the bass and sometimes sings for R.E.M. Michael Stipe’s all about Independent film, so why not Mills? I guess he’s too busy being the most talented member of that band to make indie flicks about teen angst…
