Martian Child

If you’re anything like me, you think that the movie K-PAX should have been like four hours long. Luckily, there’s Martian Child, which is like a prequel, so now it’s like K-PAX is three hours and forty minutes! So close! I don’t know why Kevin Spacey doesn’t play the kid, though. [...]

Rails & Ties

I usually try to not know too much about a movie before I don’t see it, but I couldn’t help but read a little about this one.
Tom and Megan Stark (Kevin Bacon and Marcia Gay Harden) always thought there would be time — time to have children, time to take that trip to San Francisco, [...]

Becoming Jane

I walked into this film thinking I had it all figured out, given my recent screenwriting correspondence course, the title and the actress: TCA (Transformational Character Arc) implied by use of present progressive tense in title (the “ing”), with an alternative interpretation per Merriam Webster: “be·com·ing : adjective : 15th century : suitable, fitting; especially : [...]

Jimmy Carter: Man From Plains

Jonathan Demme has made a lot of documentaries (Neil Young: Heart Of Gold), a lot of movies that are based on real life (The Agronomist, Married To The Mob), and a lot of movies that if they aren’t true, should be (Caged Heat).
Jimmy Carter: Man From Plains splits the difference. It is a [...]

Water Horse: Legend of the Deep

A freckled wee Scottish lad finds a grotty old rock that’s gooey inside and pulses with a magical light.
Is it the Blarney Stone?
No! Wrong country! Its really an egg for hatching out Greedo from Star Wars Episode IV, except (here’s the twist that sold this baby in the pitch meeting) it’s a Water Greedo.
It swims [...]

Bee Movie

You’ll “be” laughing at this movie!!!
Remember that movie about the Jewish ant that wants to leave the colony? Bee Movie is a sequel to that one. Only this one is about a Jewish bee that wants to leave the hive. I think it was a good idea to change the kind of [...]

Saw IV

OK so maybe you think you are the biggest SAW FAN OF ALL TIME but you are wrong because it is me. You will like SAW IV but not as much as me. I AM SAW’S APPRENTICE!!!
If you are someone who is just here to hate on SAW IV you can get lost. Also, [...]

The Ten Commandments

I had this really fucked-up dream last night that there was a new animated Ten Commandments movie. Why was it a fucked-up dream? Because it looked like it was animated in 1992, and — get this — Moses was voiced by CHRISTIAN SLATER. Another reason it was fucked up is that somehow while [...]

Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium

With the recent revelation by J. K. Rowling that Dumbedore is gee ay why, it should come as no surprise that Hollywood would rush to out another beloved children’s character: Mr. Magoo.Dustin Hoffman pulls out his old bag of Ratzo Rizzo “tricks” from Urban Cowboy as the conflicted Magoo, and the director and screenwriter try [...]
