Subtle Bluntness

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 [...]

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 [...]

Hey, did you know that sometimes I watch movies?  Like, for example, Astro Boy.  Sometimes I even write about movies I’ve already talked about, like that time I talked about how the Saw franchise is on its way out the door and how the torture porn genre is soooo 2006. But mostly it’s videos, because [...]

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 [...]

I’ll link you to my review of Where the Wild Things Are, but I won’t make you read any more of my rambling.  Nope, to sum this particular flick up, I’ll just paste what Deadspin’s Dashiell Bennett said about this particular picture: How was your weekend? Did you see “Where The Wild Things Are,” the [...]

Paranormal Activity, the hit new horror movie, was made in 2007.  Have you ever wondered just why the movie sat around for two years?  Well I did, so I researched it and wrote about it for Den of Geek.  Go read it, and when you come back, we can talk about the companies that control [...]

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 two movies in the last two weeks, Jennifer’s Body and Surrogates.  Jennifer’s Body was fun horror/comedy, and Surrogates was kind of fun (because of Bruce Willis) sci-fi/action, but it was Surrogates that got my brain a-scrambling like a midget on a treadmill.  Well, it was a combination of Surrogates and this quote [...]
