Once - A new movie that has an amazing soundtrack and the main actor and composer is the lead singer of The Frames, one of the great European bands no one has ever heard of and his female counterpart is a singer and actress and who is only 19. They’re both dating and it looks [...]
Bridge to Terabithia (Undecided)
This is the first movie since I started doing this that couldn’t decide on what to rate it. Part of me wanted to rate it an A- and another part of me wanted to give it a D+. It’s honestly a kids movie. You should know that by now. So it’s hard [...]
Here a few movies coming down the line that look amazing.
King of Kong (a Donkey Kong documentary about 2 nerds and the Guinness Book of World Records)
Rocket Science (a high school version of Little Miss Sunshine)
3:10 to Yuma (I’m a sucker for cowboy movies and I’m a huge Bale fan)
Into The Wild (enough said)
Music & Lyrics (D+)
I really like Hugh Grant. And I love Drew Barrymore. But there is absolutely no on-screen chemistry between the two. Worse yet . . . there is absolutely no plot. It’s bad. Real bad. And my favorite genre is romantic comedy. So if the two stars and the genre can’t win me [...]
Danielson: A Family Movie (C)
I got this movie because it’s about Danielson. Also known as Danielson Family. They were one of the first “Christian crossover” bands back in the day. And they were on one of the best labels ever, Tooth & Nail Records before they started churning out nothing but hardcore crap. Anyway, the [...]
OutFoxed: Rupert Murdoch’s War on Journalism (A-)
This was a good movie. As with any documentary, it’s tough to be really great because it’s tough to maintain a high entertainment value when you’re trying to convey facts and such. But despite it being non-entertaining because of it’s nature, it was rather informative and enlightening. I mean [...]
I just got finished watching another great documentary (review forthcoming), Who Killed The Electric Car?
I’ve just about decided I’m going to have to become an anarchist (sarcasm implied).
I’m so sick of finding out about how our government and big business do all of this shady stuff behind the scenes. It pisses me off that I’m [...]
The Science of Sleep (D-)
I didn’t know what to expect with this movie. I knew it would be different. I just didn’t know how bad that different would be. This movie really, really sucked. The beginning was ok. The middle was bad. And the ending made me want to drop kick my dvd player. Which [...]
Stranger Than Fiction (A-)
I really enjoyed this movie. I’m a huge Will Ferrell fan so I might be biased. But it was a nice little story. Ferrell is also proving himself to be a pretty good actor when he’s not in a comedy as well (see Winter Passing). I love Maggie Gyllenhaal and Dustin Hoffman. [...]
Well it’s been a while since I’ve done a movie review. So here goes.
Blades of Glory (A-)
Ok. Let’s be honest. I have a thing for Will Ferrell. I realize he’s dumb. And most of his jokes are on the high school level that revolve around jokes about his body. I’m also fully aware that every [...]
