Hey, will you look at that, it’s been almost two years since I’ve written about movies! Anyways, I just caught the trailer for Jordan Peele’s directing debut, and I’m pretty excited about it. I’ll describe it now, but feel free to scroll down and watch it for yourself first. The trailer for Get Out opens […]
So a man buys his pregnant wife a doll to complete the set she’s been collecting. And wouldn’t you just know it, the doll has a demon in it (more or less). Very quickly, bad things start to happening to the couple. They try to explain it away logically, and of course that fails. […]
Thomas (played by Dylan O’Brien) awakens inside a rising elevator. He has no idea where he is, how he got there or even who he is. The elevator stops, and the doors open in the middle of a field to the hardened faces of more young men. These boys barely know any more about […]
If you’re anything like me, you have oodles of useless movie trivia in your brain. It sits there doing no one any good until you’re at a party and you overhear someone saying, “Who that actress from the Scream movies?” Of course you then cut your friend off mid-sentence to lean over and say, “Neve […]
It’s not the biggest weekend at the box office, but that’s fine with me as I’m still playing a little catch up. My mpm (movies per month) has seen a steep decline this year as my other hobbies edge in on my time. So I’m thankful for weekends like this where there’s nothing I’m dying […]
Viewed on January 5, 2013 on Netflix Streaming Göran and Sven are newlyweds. They’ve just moved into a new house in a new neighborhood, and they’d like a new addition to their family, but because they’re gay they’re pretty much at the bottom of the list to get a baby. This is how the system […]
I read the script for Heatseekers back in 2010, when a screenwriting teacher of mine praised it as an example of a movie script that described action well. Written by George Mahaffey, it’s about an ex-military pilot that infiltrates a group of aerial pirates. It was a notable script because it was one of the few […]
Viewed on January 3, 2013 on Netflix Streaming Could have used a little more violence. That is something no one will ever say about The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) unless they find sarcasm the height of hilarity or maybe if they’re a sociopath. This movie is brutal! There aren’t many horror films that can make me turn away in actual horror, […]
If you’ve seen the trailers for Gangster Squad, then you pretty much know what to expect. Mickey Cohen (played by Sean Penn) is a mob king pin in 1940’s Los Angeles. He has a monopoly on the drug, guns, and prostitute supply out there, and now he’s trying to take over the wire betting […]
Viewed on January 2, 2013 on Netflix DVD So continuing with the theme of addiction, Shame is about a guy dealing with sex addiction. This is one of the movies I wanted to see in theaters when it first came out in 2011, but I missed it. Now that I’ve finally caught it, I wish I had […]
Viewed on December 30, 2012 on Netflix Streaming My girlfriend loves Ryan Gosling (I’m sure I’m not the first man to say those words). Her favorite movie of all time is 2011’s Drive. So, in the mood for a Gosling movie, she suggested Half Nelson. In it, Gosling plays Dan Dunne, a middle school teacher in a […]
Viewed on December 29, 2012 on Netflix Streaming I started watching this movie a couple of years ago. It was late at night, and by late I mean the sun was coming up. Too late for my brain to follow the odd anachronistic dialogue, but I was intrigued and always knew I’d finish it someday. Well […]
