I liked Jesse Eisenberg when I first saw him in Roger Dodger all those years ago — his pent up sexual energy oozing out among cougar sexpots Jennifer Beals and Elizabeth Berkeley. I loved him in The Squid and the Whale – his arrogance hiding his pain and confusion, and still more pent up sexual energy. [...]
Let the Right One In is one of those movies that just kind of comes out of nowhere. As a matter of fact, I had heard nothing of it until I started following awards season buzz and the Internet was all atwitter. So I went in not knowing much about it except for the dreaded [...]
I’ve discovered the secret to blogging more often: Write Less!
The much delayed ensemble romantic comedy He’s Just Not That Into You, based on the book of the same name that has been dog-eared by cat-owning women across the world, is finally coming out February 6th. The poster went online today. Hmm…I wonder what this movie [...]
Casino Royale is a divisive Bond film. There are a lot of young people like me who didn’t know anyone but Pierce Brosnan as Bond and never really got excited about the genre that he defined. For these people, Casino Royale and the First Blonde Bond marked an exciting change and made a new, if tentative, [...]
and I can’t decide how to feel about that:
(1) Elation? Michael Cera in a movie directed by Edgar Wright in which “a young slacker [...]meets the woman of his dreams but finds that he can only win her heart by battling and defeating her seven evil ex-boyfriends. ” Oh yes, tell me more, Hollywood Reporter!
(2) [...]
You know what movies I LOVE? Igby Goes Down, Rushmore and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
This is none of those movies.
Charlie Bartlett was supposed to come out last summer but it didn’t. I’m not sure if it had anything to do with Virginia Tech, but maybe because of like psychoactive drugs and suicidal teenagers, they wanted [...]
So fool’s gold the thing is like a glittery rock that tricks idiots into thinking it’s actual gold. Fool’s Gold the movie has sexy fun posters, the presence of two hot and OK actors (Kate Hudson and Matthew McCona…MacConna…Mc…who gives a shit, just take off your shirt) who were pretty cute together in How to [...]
Name a great Woody Allen crime/punishment/guilt/searching for God thriller:
Crimes and Misdemeanors
Name a Woody Allen crime/punishment/guilt/searching for God thriller that would barely be worth $6.50 somewhere in Iowa, much less $14 at the Arclight in Hollywood:
Cassandra’s Dream
Which is more fun to watch, Colin Farrell as the bright spot in Cassandra’s Dream or Colin Farrell fucking a [...]
I really miss the days when it was totally acceptable for someone who looked like Dexter Fletcher (nice name!) to be the romantic lead opposite Ione Skye at the peak of her hotness. Actually, no, I don’t. But such was the world in 1989 and it was this world that brought us The Rachel Papers [...]
An Inconvenient Truth? More like An Inconvenient Snooze!
But seriously, Global Warming Is A Serious Issue And We Should All Curb Our Carbon Emissions, Etc.
This movie had a lot of really nice graphics and was very informative and educational but Al Gore’s even-keeled southern drawl put me right to sleep.
Also, I wrote a paper about this [...]
