Subtle Bluntness

So I went to see Up this weekend.  It’s the #1 movie at the box office this weekend (because it’s a Pixar film) and as I said in my review, it’s a wonderful movie (because it’s a Pixar film).  If you have anything even remotely close to a romantic bone in your body, bring tissues [...]

Well, another weekend has come and gone, and for once, the American public surprised the crap out of me by rejecting the horror of Hanson 2.0 (the Jonas Brothers) at the box office.  That $30-40 million dollar payday their 3-D concert experience was supposed to yield?  Didn’t happen. Instead, Americans chose to go see Tyler [...]

I’ve braced myself for the torment of hate that may never come.  Here’s my absolutely scathing review of Twilight.  The only movie I’ve ever seen that just begged me to drop a Cleveland steamer on it this much was Jeepers Creepers.  The only thing that puts Creepers over the top is the pedophile director.  Catherine [...]

Last night I saw the movie Twilight.  I worked on my review when I got home, thought I had it finished, then I reread it this morning.  Then I went back to work on it. I rarely, if ever, do that.  Once I get done with something, I send it off, otherwise I’m the type [...]

For some reason, in both things I did this week for Den of Geek (the weekend box office report, back after a short hiatus, and a review of Zack and Miri Make A Porno), I talk a lot about Kevin Smith as a filmmaker.  Maybe it’s because I talked about Kevin Smith’s new movie, but [...]

I’ve decided to finally get to work on transferring the old movie reviews from my extensive and complicated archives system to browsable blog posts (like I started to do when I first made this blog back in May 2006).  This is going to be a big pain in the rear end, especially since Living Corpse [...]

I don’t think I’ve ever gone into a movie, watched it, and come out with this thought: “That movie could’ve used the soothing directorial touch of Uwe Boll.” Then again, this is the first time I’ve ever seen a film as potentially ludicrous as Max Payne refuse to embrace the brain-searing incomprehensibility of its stated [...]

For those of you who’ve been reading back a few months, you’ll remember my summer movie spree where I’d throw up a couple of paragraphs, shoe-horn in a link to my latest Den of Geek review (like this one for Burn After Reading), and call it a night. Mostly because I was so busy watching [...]

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 [...]

You guys have no idea how proud I am of my half-brother Seth Rogen today. Last night I went to see his new movie, Pineapple Express, and I really enjoyed it. I consider it a knowing birthday present to me, and it was very nice of him. Sure he doesn’t call as much as I’d [...]
