Fanboys Has anyone heard of this movie? “You ‘dis the Fett again and I will cornhole you with a lightsaber” and for the record, I am now telling people that I am a white Billy Dee Williams. Share this:

Review: Killshot

Killshot Mickey Rourke is great at playing a scumbag. Diane Lane is so amazingly hot. A decent action flick with a nice substory about a couple falling back in love. Not a bad movie. Not outwardly offensive. And I’m always happy to have an excuse to look at Rosario Dawson. Share this:

Review: Powder Blue

2009

Powder Blue Patrick Swayze is creepy in Silence of the Lambs the Jaime Gumm sort of creepy. But Jessica Biel might have the best bottom in Hollywood. If for no reason other than seeing all of her, watch this movie. Jessica Biel and Marisa Tomei, both naked as strippers in one year. It’s a great ...

Review: Tyson

2009

Tyson He’s certainly a complex character. His life is a modern tragedy, and in watching the interviews with him, you can almost hear the voices in his head. I lived for a couple of years not far from Brownsville, Brooklyn. Tyson grew up in one of the shittiest parts of New York, and it’s no ...

Review: Paul Fucking Blart: Mall Cop

2009

Paul Blart: Mall Cop Two redeeming qualities of this film: Jayma Mays, who reminds me how much I like Anna Farris. Survivor’s I Can’t Hold Back (actually, the entire soundtrack, some of the cast, and the better jokes are all typical of the Adam Sandler genre, who’s production company is responsible for producing this turd.) ...

Review: What Doesn't Kill You

2009

What Doesn’t Kill You I hadn’t heard anything about this when it came out. I completely missed it coming to theaters. Equally, even though I grew up in New England I had never heard of this story (armored car robbery and apparently a bunch of press about it.) I’m a big fan of Mark Ruffalo, ...

Review: Valkyrie 1

2009

Valkyrie It takes me a while to view films. As many of you know, I refuse to go to the cinema. I’m pretty happy with my home cinema setup, and believe that it provides a better way to see films than a crowded super-megaplex. (although I am a member at the jacob burns film center, ...

Review: City of Ember

2009

City of Ember I don’t generally watch films that aren’t rated R, and I watch kids movies even less frequently. But this one was exceptional. A surprising cast (Bill Murray, Tim Robbins, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Mackenzie Crook, Martin Landau) and a story I hadn’t heard mention of before made for a very pleasant flick. Cut from ...

Review: Pride and Glory

Apr

2009

Pride and Glory Edward Norton jumped the shark with this one. His acting is strained and lacks any real emotional depth. Colin Farrell is his usual douchebag self (which comes naturally to him, I’m sure.) It’s a basic cop story. A good cop, a bad cop, some drunks, some killing. It’s disappointing that they couldn’t ...
