Zack & Miri are best friends and roommates. They are unabashedly losers with dead end jobs, no money and a crappy apartment in a Pittsburgh suburb. With rent due, their heat and water turned off and an embarrassing high school reunion to overcome, Zack has the brilliant idea to make and distribute a porno. They encounter [...]
A Note: If you haven’t seen Synecdoche, New York and plan to, you may not want to read this right now. You can, if you must, I wrote it and posted it after all. But some of the things that surprised me about this film were beautiful and meaningful because they were surprises. It comes out [...]
Get ready, readers. All 4 of you. I’m about to lose all credibility. I liked The House Bunny. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think it was a good movie in terms of acting, writing or direction. But I did like it. I really did. I used to watch Anna Faris with a wrinkled nose, [...]
Indiana Jones: action! adventure! charm! thrills! cheesy piece of crap! Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull opens with a CGI prairie dog. I’m not 100% sure that the rodent is CGI, but it might as well be. I guess it’s a little bit cute, but it’s mostly like: Are you kidding me? [...]
A funny and wacky Billy Wilder sex comedy, Kiss Me, Stupid was a surprisingly filthy choice for me to watch on my last sick (hangover) day. Dean Martin throws himself into his drunk and shockingly horny persona as lounge singer Dino who ends up stranded in Climax, Nevada on his way home from Vegas. But [...]
Kevin Kline has made a career out of playing charming motherfuckers. A lucrative, funny, compelling but somehow detestable career. It started with Sophie’s Choice, really, when he played Nathan Landau: a passionate, accented, intellectual, sweaty, animalistic, violent, volatile, charming motherfucker who had an unyielding grasp on Meryl Streep’s Sophie. Similar characters would follow in The Big Chill, [...]
…in a battle to see who makes me want to see this movie less. That is an ad for the Sex and the City movie, as well as Skyy vodka. If you’re going to shoot for a new level of cross-marketing prostitution, at least choose a brand that’s not the well vodka at Hooters. I’ll [...]
Apparently people that give titles to movies don’t actually want people to see the movies that they are titling. Because, let’s face it, even a smart person doesn’t want to see a movie called Smart People. As a matter of fact, I’m going to contend that the smarter you are, the more you hate smart [...]
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 [...]
