Subtle Bluntness

Well, that was an unexpected hiatus.
Hello, I’m Ron.  This is my blog.  Do you remember who I am?  No?  Well, that’s okay.
I didn’t deliberately set out to just not post in my blog for like three weeks.  These kinds of things just happen when you self-host your blog, have to change your password more often [...]

I saw and reviewed Date Night the other night for Den of Geek, and I have to say something about Tina Fey.  While I go back and forth on just how funny I think she is, there’s one thing about her I can’t deny.  She’s adorable.  With glasses or without (but definitely with) her glasses, [...]

Well, I got a chance to go check out Repo Men, the latest in a long line of sci-fi action thrillers with a better concept than execution.  I mean, the idea of a future where artificial organs can be repossessed when you don’t pay your bills isn’t a far-out concept.  We’re pretty close to that [...]

So, I’ve resigned myself to the fact that there’s going to be a big-screen World of Warcraft movie.  There’s no sense fighting it.  It’s not in developmental hell, Sam Raimi is producing it as we speak, and Robert “Saving Private Ryan” Rodat is hard at work on the script.  Just accept it; this thing is [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 first [...]
