Another SXSW has come and gone.  I would be lying if I didn’t state how fucking tired I am right now, but man was it fun.  My goal was to see 15 movies.  We sat through 17.  I only really wanted to walk out of one.  Not bad.  We did stray from my original list; [...]
I’ve been agonizing for 4 years to say the following about any restaurant based comedy- It’s like Waiting, but with an actual fucking story. The Slammin’ Salmon is a movie that takes place almost all in one night in a restaurant owned by ex-boxer Cleo “Slammin’” Salmon (Michael Clarke Duncan).  When Salmon confronts his manager, [...]
Do you know who Jack Rebney is?  You might know him better as The Winnebago Man.  Hell, you might even know him as “The Angriest Man In The World.”  He was made famous in 1989 when a VHS tape begin circulating with outtakes of Rebney from an promotional video he hosted for the Winnebago company.  [...]
Seriously?  Have the makers of The Haunting in Connecticut not seen The Amityville Horror?  If every review and/or opinion of this film doesn’t find its way to a comparison of the two movies, I’ll be shocked. Let me start by saying that I love stupid “ghost” television shows.  For me, the cheesier the better.  I [...]
While not a complete waste of time, I couldn’t help but check my watch repeatedly during this movie.  The Hurt Locker follows a bomb squad unit in Iraq in 2004 as they countdown the days left in their deployment.  Based off the accounts of a journalist that witnessed these events while reporting on the War, [...]
If you believe in divine intervention, you might say I was designed to not like this movie.  If you’re more inclined to be a man of science, perhaps my genetic code precludes any ability I could have to appreciate the “twist” this film eventually leads to.  Choose your poison, the fact is I still hated [...]
Holy fuck.  I mean, seriously, HOLY FUCK! Waiting in line for this one, I told the wife to temper her expectations.  I just had a bad feeling for the film because the ads seemed a bit uneven.  And then it started and I nearly laughed my O-ring out. Observe and Report is goofy, dark, gross, [...]
I kept waiting for the punch line; I kept waiting for the town to revolt but it just never happened.  Crude Independence is a documentary about Stanley, a small town in North Dakota that receives a complete transformation when it is discovered that 200 billion barrels of oil lie underneath it.  The film is told [...]
If this guy can write a review for Drag Me To Hell, well then fuck I can, too!  I just wished I shared his flamboyant enthusiasm for the film. That’s not to say I didn’t like the film, which I did very much.  But it was apparent to me that director Sam Raimi wasn’t trying [...]
From the guy that wrote the Samuel L. Jackson epic, Snakes on a Plane, comes Women In Trouble! We had time to kill before watching Drag Me to Hell, so we watched a film we knew absolutely nothing about.  Women In Trouble is a set of interlocking stories chronicling several women over the course of [...]
It’s usually a bad thing when a film doesn’t meet your expectations.  With the case of Adventureland, I expected the typical laugh a minute craziness coming from director Greg Mottola (Superbad).  And not that the film wasn’t without some very funny, crowd pleasing moments.  But they certainly didn’t flow with the same frequency of Superbad.  [...]
So I’m standing in line being completely unsocial, burying my nose in my iPhone watching The Dark Knight.  Then this guy comes up, shakes my hand, and thanks me for attending the screening.  20 minutes later, I realize he’s the main character in Artois the Goat, a story of a man whose obsession with goat [...]
Where to start… Well, I consider myself a pretty hard guy to make uncomfortable during a movie.¬† Not that there‚Äôs anything wrong with it, WINK, but I sat through Brokeback Mountain without batting an eye.¬† I may have giggled a bit, but I didn‚Äôt squirm in my seat. Last night during a screening of Grace, [...]
Although a trite saying, “breaking up is hard to do.”  But for Daryl and Zoe, they try to make things as easy as possible.  You see, they both discover that their relationship has grown stale and in an attempt to liven things up, they choose to only see each other 4 days a week (Monday, [...]
Imagine if your job was to man a space station on the Moon for 3 years, sending rock deposits back to Earth for being repurposed into energy.  Your only companion is a talking computer whose tranquilizing monotone makes for less than engaging conversations.  And then you start having hallucinations. Moon brings this premise to life [...]
