I’ve been following Heavy Rain since it was just a tech demo shown on the floor at E3 2006. Then, it was merely a showcase of the PS3’s graphical and physical power, but developer Quantic Dream took it a step further and molded it into the game it is now. Heavy Rain is an experiment [...]
Maybe it’s because I set my expectations really low or perhaps the trailers and TV spots I had watched looked like complete crap but I actually enjoyed myself with From Paris with Love. I know I even dogged it on last week’s Breachcast but I can’t tell you how delicious my words tasted while [...]
A movie with a twelve million dollar budget with an all-star director and his all-star writer leading an all-star cast grossing under five million dollars is the very definition of sleeper. If ever there were a movie that you should’ve seen but you didn’t, it’s The Genius Danny Boyle’s A Life Less Ordinary. And don’t [...]
A reassurance: I’m not going to write about my political preferences as we’re all friends here…right? Now, I don’t have a great mind for politics but I do attempt to keep up with them. Generally, I run with the sentiment that the way government works is retarded. The majority of those in office are mediocre [...]
Never heard of this one? Neither had I but the wife insisted it was cool so into the Netflix Queue it went. We watched it the other night and I was actually pretty impressed. You take your immediately post-apocalytpic setting, insert your strong female lead complete with uzi, and then add a [...]
This week we discuss the 82nd Annual Oscar Nominations, the end of Dollhouse, and the final season premiere of Lost.
First off…Holy shit. Ok.
The original Hollow Man was actually somewhat interesting. It was Paul Verhoeven’s take on the Invisible Man, and featured Kevin Bacon as Sebastian Caine leading a team of scientists in researching invisibility. Caine decides to use himself as the test subject because he’s an arrogant prick and ends up slowly going nuts [...]
With Lost returning tonight, I thought this was appropriate. What if 24 and Lost mated and had a baby? This video ventures to answer that. If you’re any kind of Lost fan, this is pretty rad. They even through in some footage from the webisode stuff that I doubt most viewers have even seen. Check it out after the jump.
NEW RELEASES
Zombieland
I saw a completely unnecessary blurb about this movie(reviewed here) the other day that hailed it as Superbad meets Shaun of the Dead. Ignore all the ridiculous comparisons to other movies and just know that this is a big bloody mess of pure zombie fun. If you’re still on the fence with current zombie [...]
I hadn’t even heard of this and then a co-worker showed it to me. I’m totally sold. Check it out after the jump.
I dig Hayao Mizyazaki. If you don’t at least know of him, you owe it to yourself to track anything he’s done down if you call yourself a movie lover. Yeah, I know it’s anime and yeah, I know most anime is generally backward in most people’s minds but let me reassure you that Miyazaki’s [...]
I can’t imagine having the drive that these guys do. Hell, I fancied myself a filmmaker at one time but I’ll be the first to admit I tried with little to no effort to break into “the scene” and now spend my time writing on this blog. Watching Anvil struggle over 25 years to be [...]
I was going to start this review out with a top 5 list of my favorite movies where people eat each other. Turns out though, outside of zombie/plague movies and Avocado Jungles of Death, it doesn’t really happen that often. And I refuse to include movies where people eat people without knowing they’re eating people [...]
I know we’re posting and talking lots of stuff from late night, but all the drama seems to have created a Golden Age of Late Night, so to speak. This clip from The Jimmy Kimmel Show has Mel Gibson in a psuedo trailer for a movie about Jimmy Kimmel. The video will speak for itself. Check it out after the jump
