Shoot ‘em Up

I just finished watching this action movie called Shoot ‘em Up, and it definitely lives up to it’s name. Guns galore, crazy stunts and bullets flying almost non-stop in this hard to swallow plot revolving around a baby that must be protected by a carrot obsessed gunman. But this is a movie, not [...]

Killer Bean Forever

A few years back I had downloaded this little animated short movie simply called Killer Bean 2. I didn’t know where it came from and the name Jeff Lew didn’t ring any bells, but it was pretty cool. I figured it was just some college kid’s animation project, there were a lot of [...]

Indie Horror Films

Movies don’t have to come from Hollywood in order to be good or make a lot of money. There have been lots of small Indie films that turned out great and had quite a cult following. Clerks and the Blair Witch Project are two that come to mind which were extremely low budget [...]

A monstrous movie

Just saw a trailer for a new movie by J.J. Abrams slated to hit theaters on January 18, 2008. 1-18-08. It looks awesome and I really hope it doesn’t turn out sucking. Good old viral marketing is playing a huge part with this flick though. The trailer starts out looking like [...]

Premonition (spoiler alert)

DO NOT READ IF YOU HATE SPOILERS!
Watched Premonition last night and overall I liked it, but part of it did piss me off. No, it wasn’t the ending. I liked the irony of her trying to save her husband but in the end it’s her fault for making him turn the car around. [...]

The Muppet Show

I used to watch this all the time when I was a kid, it was one of my favorite shows.  And now that my kid is 3 she’s starting to really like it too.  So I get to watch them all over again, and honestly, they hold up really well.  20 years later and it’s [...]

The Return

Watched this one yesterday, finally, I know it’s been out for a while but I just didn’t get around to watching it. It stars Sarah Michelle Gellar and the previews made it look kinda Grudge-like, but now that I’ve seen it, it’s not quite the same thing. Her character, Joanna, is plagued by visions of [...]

Norbit

Watched this tonight, it was better than I expected actually. Eddie Murphy does a decent enough job as both Norbit and the black woman, but I must admit I was very surprised when the credits rolled at the end and I saw that he also played the Chinese guy. When I first saw heard about [...]

Rat Race

While out of town this weekend I watched an old favorite, not that old I guess since it came out in 2001. Rat Race, reminded me a lot of the old Cannonball Run style movies, but funnier! The cast for this movie was awesome, especially John Cleese playing a nutjob (eccentric) rich guy [...]
