Subtle Bluntness

There’s just something about a list that makes people virulent.  Take, for example, my list of 10 big films to watch out for in 2010.  On the surface, if you actually READ the entries, you’ll see that these aren’t all guaranteed to be good.  However, they *might* be good and even if they’re not, they [...]

So, I got to see The Blind Side last week, and while I took my sweet time getting the review out there (and they took their sweet time to publish it thanks to holiday vacations and the like), I have to say I was really impressed with Sandra Bullock.  In the review I mentioned Erin [...]

If you want to know my best and worst movies of 2009, head on over to Den of Geek and check me out.  I’m the guy at the bottom who writes way more than everyone else, because I just HAD to rant about how lousy Miss March was.  There are some, ahem, interesting choices from [...]

Well, there’s officially a new worst movie opening ever.  If you thought Gigli was an epic failure, you haven’t seen Transylmania.  The vampire comedy (and totally not a spoof of vampire movies despite having a lookalike for Kate Beckinsale as a vampire hunting chick, as some sock puppet corrected me in the comments) hit new [...]

I got to indulge my inner child this weekend by going to see Ninja Assassin, the new martial arts movie starring Korean pop star Rain, Naomie Harris, and Sho Kosugi, the king of the ninja.  I can honestly say I went in expecting something awful, but what I got was a slice of deliciously brainless [...]

I’ve noticed a lot of discussion on the various V review threads at Den of Geek, and I’ve put together a list of questions from them that I’ve been answering.  So, if you have any questions you’d like to see me answer, here’s a great place to put them (so I’ll know to see them).  [...]

So, I got to see The Twilight Saga: New Moon on Sunday, after having waited for it a good chunk of Saturday.  As you can see by its $140 million dollar opening weekend, it was very popular.  Frightening popular, given the unsubtle message the movie has for teenage girls of all ages.  Here’s my full [...]

Since I’m reviewing V for Den of Geek (here’s the second episode review!), I’ve been reading a lot of other responses to see what people are thinking about the show.  I figure, if they have problems that I’m not seeing, I can look for those issues.  If other people are having problems with certain aspects [...]

If there’s one thing I learned from the response to my review of The Fourth Kind, it’s that people love the phrase “The Fourth Kind is cat poop and onions.”  I thought I had included something about chocolate and peanut butter and two great tastes, but I guess I didn’t.  Or I did and my [...]

Just one day after I randomly stumble across myself quoted on Wikipedia, guess where I randomly stumble across myself being linked from?  If you guessed Deadspin, you’d be right.  It wasn’t here or at Den of Geek this time.  It definitely wasn’t at my neglected sports blog, either. Nope, Deadspin picked up on a PopFi [...]
