Ok, quick and to the point: I love this movie so much I want to buy it jewelry and ask it to move in. Yeah… But I really didn’t have a choice from the very first thirty seconds. Patrick Fugit (the dude from Almost Famous) leans over and puts on a record. Tom Waits’ “Dead [...]

So the Oscars are here, and welcome to the first annual:
!!!Sleeper Cell Snubtastic Chaos Cabaret!!! (*cue pop-fizzle*)
Of course, it’s hard to say there are Oscar snubs when 10 damn movies get a best picture nomination. But I’m here to say: “There were a few huge snubs.” The list of nominations is fairly sensible, but why [...]

This movie is important. Plain and simple. But not that simple. There are a lot of things working against Masked and Anonymous, not the least of which is that it was written and directed by the co-creator of Seinfeld, Larry Charles (Religulous). After all, why on earth should we listen to a professional comedian about the state of world affairs? And it certainly doesn’t help that there was virtually no marketing campaign and that it was released opposite the arthouse juggernaut, Le Divorce. It’s also an uber-politically active (or socially active, depending on how you take it) movie – never the best blockbusters. The cast list is more than impressive, but you wouldn’t be wrong to call Masked and Anonymous “preachy.” It preaches its head off. But it says things that need to be said. More on that after the jump!

Ok. Maybe it’s not fair to call Krull a sleeper. It did have an stand-up arcade game, an Atari 7800 video game and a Parker Brothers board game based on it. But I’m basing this judgment mostly on box office receipts, and since it had a budget of around 27 million and only took in around 16, [...]

Intacto (Intact in English) in short is a multi-lingual Spanish thriller directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, director of horror sequel 28 Weeks Later and the upcoming BioShock adaptation. It’s Spanish cinema, so for the plot, let’s keep it simple. There’s some opening business in a casino where we meet a luck-thief and our eventual nemesis [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

After seeing 500 Days of Summer this past…uh…summer, Joseph Gordon-Levitt being generally bad ass in that movie reminded me that there was another movie of his that I had wanted to see. That movie was Brick, a film from ‘05 that I fully intended to go see in theatres but actually didn’t get around to [...]

This post begins a new weekly column here at The Breach.  Sleeper Cell will reflect movies that perhaps you missed or have always been meaning to watch but are too much of an asshole to place into your Netflix queue.  This could be a movie from 50 years ago or a movie from last year. [...]
