Flash Movie Review: Angels & Demons

Book wise, I think Da Vinci Code had a better story, while A&D was more interesting on the “research” side of things. Movie wise, the Da Vinci Code was such crap. There was no suspense and Tom Hanks and Audrey Tantou had sub-zero chemistry. There is a touch of suspense in A&D, and [...]

Becoming Jane and Puffy Shirts

Since I’ve exhausted my supply of TV shows (is it really another month until new Office and 30 Rock?) I’ve turned to movies, and last night I watched “Becoming Jane”. I’m a sucker for Jane Austen movies and I’ll tell you why: curly-haired guys in puffy shirts. Really, what is it about long [...]

The almighty piece of paper, part ichi

If you know me at all, then you know my favorite TV show is “The Office”, a mockumentary about the struggles of a paper company in Pennsylvania trying to keep afloat in an increasingly paperless world. My solution for Dunder-Mifflin’s woes are simple; move to Japan.

Japan loves paper, be it tiny bags to individually wrap [...]

Flash Movie Review: Babel

I liked it, it makes you think, great performance, blah blah.

However. . .

I feel bad saying that because Rinko Kikuchi’s [...]

Flash Movie Review: 300

Pretty colors + battle scenes with epic, rock driven music + comic book roots + 300 half-naked super buff men = Thumbs up in my book

Flash Movie Review: The Last Kiss

This movie tries to have several intertwining stories, but really only has one story with a lot of underdeveloped secondary characters with unresolved story lines. If you like those kind of movies, complete with a guy who screws up his great life because of his fears of any kind of real commitment and responsibilities, then [...]

Pan’s Labyrinth

I can’t deny that this is a good movie; it’s very beautifully shot, good special effects for a more “independent” movie, good acting and a very engrossing story.

However, I have to say the trailers and reviews were quite misleading. It was billed as an “Alice and Wonderland for adult,” the trailers were full of shots [...]

Superman Returns

I really had no intention of renting Superman Returns, but my local Blockbuster was out of Devil Wears Prada, so then I walked to the other side of the store, only to discover Talledega Nights was gone too. Superman was right next to Talledega, so I said, “Alright, let’s see what Bryan Singer ditched X-Men [...]
