This movie is in French, so I have no idea what it’s about. KIDDING! “I’ve Loved You So Long,” is one of those meandering dramas where everyone seems very gray and sad, but for most of the movie you don’t really know why, but you could probably guess and nothing really HAPPENS, but things definitely [...]

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, [...]

“Who the fuck is Omar Benson Miller?” you may be asking. If you’re asking, then you clearly haven’t seen a movie with any black people in it in the last few years, because he has been in a bunch of them. He’s the huge one. Seriously, HUGE. 6’6″ and over 300lbs. He also happens to [...]

Sometimes I think that I might just be a lesbian that likes sex with men. Those times include whenever I see Keira Knightley. I used to think that I hated her, for whatever reason, out of sheer jealousy that she’s so thin and successful maybe. But every time I see her face, I just can’t [...]

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 [...]

(This review has spoilers. Let’s face it, no one is going to see this movie anyway.) Do you like M. Night Shymalan movies (“no!”), but you really wish that the twist was spoiled RIGHT AWAY? Like IN THE TITLE? Then Vadim Perelman’s The Life Before Her Eyes is the perfect springtime movie for you! At [...]

Back in high school, I may not have been a popular kid. Or particularly cool. Or into music or art or school or computers or anything that might have taken me anywhere in life. But I did know a lot about serial killers. I have found, over the course of growing up, moving out and [...]

What the hell is going on? Does Daniel Craig wear contacts? Why is that girl with the machine gun crying? Fuck it, let’s go get drunk.
