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 December 22, 2012 on Netflix Streaming This was my third time watching this movie, and it’s still just as entertaining as the first time. Easily my favorite Adam Sandler movie. He’s played the troubled simpleton before, but never so interestingly. I’m actually invested in this character and would want to follow his life […]
Viewed on December 15, 2012 on Netflix DVD Such an interesting premise. A couple successfully manages to get themselves ingratiated with a cult, their goal to create a documentary that exposes the leader as a fraud. The cult is led by a twenty-something year old Maggie (played by Brit Marling). Maggie claims to be from the […]
Now I haven’t taken a physics class since high school, so forgive me if I come across as an idiot, but I think I remember reading that if you combine 1.5 Hrs of Zombies with Equal Doses of both John C. Reilly and Aubrey Plaza, you will get Comedy Gold. Correction, Potential Comedy Gold. We have […]
What’s it about? “A pair of aging con men try to get the old gang back together for one last hurrah before one of the guys takes his last assignment — to kill his comrade.” —IMDB Who made it? Director: Fisher Stevens. Writer: Noah Haidle. Who’s in it? Al Pacino, Christopher Walken, Alan Arkin, Julianna Margulies. When’s it […]
This past November I wanted to participate in NaNoWriMo, an annual month-long attempt for novelists to complete a draft of a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. It began in 1999 with just 21 aspiring novelists who “didn’t have anything better to do” and who just “wanted to make noise.” They wrote and partied together […]
I’m going to try to be even-keeled here. I want to start this review with thunderous exclamations of how much I loved Life of Pi, about what a magical feat of story-telling this is, about how beautifully it was filmed, about how much it touched me. I don’t want to look for flaws. I don’t want […]
When you were a kid and you’d go to the local arcade, did you ever stop to wonder what the video game characters did after you finished playing the game? Probably not, unless of course you were a particularly imaginative kid. You probably just assumed they did nothing because they weren’t thinking beings possessing their […]
