License To Wed

Why does Jim look so upset? If you guessed because he is starring in a turd, then you guessed right.

Evening: Notnight, Notday

Evening is a movie about that magical time of not night, not day, the interstitial moments populated by lightning-bugs and the coolness descending. I remembered while not seeing this movie a moment when the orange sun had faded the clouds to bright pink and I felt free—the bounds of earth had loos’d. What magic is [...]

Ratatoiulle (rat . a. tat. a. toy. yule. ee)

“Ratatatscarlouie” is Brad Bird’s second film for PIXAR since leaving the cast of Sesame Street, and this follow-up to “The Dark Crystal” has no Gelflings, no Skekses and no “Trial by Stone” to help it along. All it has are rats and Frenchmen. Not since “The Secret of NIMH” have vermin so dominated an animated [...]

Hostel: Part II

“Hostel: Part II” is “Hostel,” only this time women are tortured instead of men. Other than that, it’s the same movie, so just read my review of “Hostel.” Wait, I’ll just reprint it:
Awful. What’s wrong with you?
Seriously. What the fuck?
As a bonus, I’ll also review the people in the theater: Assholes.

Live Free Or Die Hard

Live Free Or Die Hard is what we in the movie business call a “double threat.” This means that the movie succeeds wildly on two different levels - in this case, first as an over-the-top action movie, and secondly as a tender relationship drama.
 
In Live Free Or Die Hard, Bruce Willis returns as John [...]

1408

The Battle of Bramham Moor was the final battle in the Percy Rebellion of 1402 - 1408, which pitted the Earl of Northumberland, leader of the wealthy and influential Percy family, against the newly appointed king of England, King Henry IV. The Percys had previously aided Henry IV in his coup d’etat of his cousin [...]

Sicko

Sicko is the new Michael Moore movie. If you aren’t familiar with Michael Moore, he is that guy in the hat who makes documentaries about how powerful people don’t want to talk to fat smelly assholes.
 
Michael Moore set out to make a movie about how the healthcare system in the United States isn’t great, and [...]

A Mighty Heart

Do you know what the number one killer of men is? It’s not drunk-driving accidents or post-vacation syphilis—it’s heart disease. In fact, heart disease kills an estimated 5,000 men every hour in this country, more than autoerotic asphyxiation and lightning strikes combined. It’s a serious topic, one that deserves more than it’s given in this [...]

Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix

Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix is by far my favorite of all the Harry Potter movies. I’ve seen almost all of them up until this one. A children’s book series that captures the imagination of intelligent adults worldwide is the rarest of beasts, and may I say, the Harry Potter [...]

Transformers — Robots in Disguise

These robots may be very good at disguising themselves, but big whoop. Why don’t they make a movie about catalytic converters, or mood rings or something. It’s got to be better than 90 minutes of Shia LeBouf standing in front of one of these puppies. Some guy in the special effects department must be repaneling [...]
