Lou Reed’s Berlin

Lou Reed’s Berlin is a movie about a cranky old guy who made a record fifty years ago that nobody bought and he’s still upset about it.
But even though he’s upset, he’s still grateful that you sat through it so he does Sweet Jane at the end to make up for it, which is [...]

Mamma Mia!

It was my mom’s birthday yesterday so I took her to not go see Mamma Mia! because I thought it was supposed to be good for moms because the title sort of has Mom in it but I was wrong because the whole movie is about some Swedish music from the 50s, and it [...]

Glass: A Portrait Of Philip In Twelve Parts

As you might guess from the title, this is a gory horror movie.
It’s about these evil triplets who turn people’s brains into mush.

Shine A Light

So Shine A Light is this Rolling Stones concert movie that is directed by Martin Scorsese. It’s showing in IMAX theaters, so that’s were I went because those kind of movies are bigger.
Scorsese blew me away with his sweeping, majestic establishing shots, but I thought the movie really went downhill after that. The Stones’ new [...]

Les Chansons d’amour

When I asked my friend Ricko if he wanted to go see Les Chansons d’amour with me he said “Dude if I wanted to see a French musical about a guy named Les who loves dogs, I would beat it out of you.”
After he beat it out of me I got real sleepy, though, so [...]

Meat Loaf: In Search Of Paradise

Meat Loaf: In Search Of Paradise is a movie about a guy who made a legendary rock album that was so big it took two sequels to crap all over it.
Or at least that’s what I thought until I didn’t see this documentary. It turns out he also was really worried about his tour. Tour? [...]

Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best Of Both Worlds Concert Featuring Jonas Brothers

If you are a regular reader of Didn’tSeeIt.com, you know that I’ve been confused a lot lately. So you know it didn’t help me at all to see this movie, which took me longer to say the whole name of the movie than the movie takes all by itself.
And to add on top of [...]

U2 3D

If you’re anything like me, you don’t think that Bono is big enough or close enough. So here is a U2 concert movie in 3D!
Because of science, though, you can’t just make everything bigger and closer without paying for it in some way (relativity). So they had to make the movie shorter than a regular [...]

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street

Sweeney Todd stars Johnny Depp as some guy whose name I don’t remember. I was excited to see a movie about a demon barber but it turns out he is just a barber for regular people. What? Right. Whatever, though, because he isn’t even a good barber. Maybe that’s what they mean.
Helena Bonham Carter is [...]

August Rush

As someone who’s spent decades studying and working in the performing arts, I’ve come to appreciate film in all its forms — from silly and romantic to experimental and abstract.
However, melodrama is one form I’ve never particularly enjoyed. I much prefer cinema that explores in detail the gray areas of life and love. But [...]
