Last week I had the pleasure of attending a screening of Wes Anderson’s newest foray into style and humor (most people call this a movie), Fantastic Mr. Fox. I don’t normally use phrases like “I had the pleasure of..” but it really was a pleasure! I don’t mean like the dirty, carnal pleasure I [...]
I was just lamenting the other day that I really don’t get to do enough drunk blogging anymore because I don’t really have the internet at my house. But really that just stops me from drunk *posting* not drunk blogging. So, the original intent of the Drunk Reviews tag was to both watch and review [...]
from the LA Times:
Sen. Barack Obama accused rival Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton today of attempting to “hoodwink” and “bamboozle” voters into thinking she was the front-runner by offering him the second slot on her ticket.
from yours truly:
Hoodwinked?
Bamboozled?
What are you trying to say? That supporting Hilary is akin to supporting bad CGI and implications of racism? [...]
Ratatouille just beat out Persepolis for Best Animated Feature at the Oscars (boo) and then it showed up from Netflix yesterday! Since it beat such an awesome (if subtitled) movie and has been advertised as The Best Reviewed Movie Of The Year, I was hoping it would be pretty great. But it was [...]
Hey, a movie that I don’t feel compelled to tag with ‘misogynist’! Hooray!
Actually, I sort of love this movie. I saw it on accident because Atonement was sold out and didn’t know anything about it except someone “heard it was good” and “was based on a graphic novel or something.”
So.
Yes, it is animated. [...]
Enchanted
I like princesses, big song productions and McDreamy as much as the next girl. If not more. But 2 hours? Come on.
Alvin and the Chipmunks
What is the deal with Jason Lee? I always think I like him. But I’m pretty sure that he can’t act. Like at all. I’m sure it’s hard to act with like fake chipmunks [...]
Beowulf in 3D cost like $3 more than Beowulf *not* in 3D. But it comes with glasses. In my opinion, there should be a lot more movies that come with accessories.
Besides that, I went into Beowulf with basically no expectations. Well, that’s kind of a lie because I basically expected it to suck. I was [...]
Is it just me, or does this poster kind of give you a headache? It’s so busy and brash and loud and colorful but something is most definitely missing. It doesn’t make me think whimsy and magic, it just makes me glad I don’t have a kid to drag me to see this cheesy piece of crap.
Once a prime-time lens that hilariously magnified the cracks in our crumbling society, The Simpsons has kind of sucked balls for about as long as Tupac has been pretending to be dead. Hype said that writers from “the good years” were used for the movie, but I had still resolved not to attend unless it [...]
