Subtle Bluntness

I had to dust off my first GraphJam graph for this one.

It’s like Alexandre Aja‘s idea of a McDonald’s commercial!

Did you see Saw?  I saw Saw.  I also saw Saws II and III.  Then I realized that the series would never be more than mediocre and dropped out for Saws IV and V. Then, the other night, I saw Saw VI and realized the series had been taken over by the two guys that [...]

So, Zombieland.  I got to see it this weekend and, in a word:  awesome.  In two words?  Fucking awesome.  It was this weekend’s big hit and nobody I know who saw it has a bad word to say about it.  Check their blogs and see if you don’t believe me. (And if you don’t buy [...]

Well, I saw Halloween II last weekend, and I had quite a bit to say about it.  You can check out my official review here, if you are so inclined. For once, I don’t have anything I feel compelled to add to the official review in my writer’s commentary within the self-promotional blog post.  It’s [...]

Dear Kiefer, I just saw Mirrors this week. Here’s my review, if you’re interested. I’ll give you some time to have your personal assistant read it to you. Okay, are you done? Good, good. Let’s continue. Listen, Kief… can I call you Kief? Too bad. Anyway, Kief, you’re on a hit TV show where you [...]

A brief update on this chilly and haunted Halloween night. I’ve been busy over at Den of Geek the last week, and here’s a little update of what I’ve been doing yonder for those still in the Halloween spirit (and also fans of The Office). The Office 4.05: Local Ad. Limitless paper in a paperless [...]
