The soft science fiction metaseries Bakugan Battle Brawlers has seen adaptations in animation, comics, video games and the more famous physical game. By December 2008, plans for a [...]

Mmm… cheese.

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Wow. There are certainly a lot of bad dialogue writers out there. How come THEY get to have movies made? To be fair, sometimes it’s the actor who deserves the blame (or the save, for keeping movies off this list.) Notice any actors showing up here more than once? To be fair again, I’d say [...]

Repo! trailer: unstoppable force vs. immovable object

Monday, November 10th, 2008

So currently in limited release is Repo! The Genetic Opera. I can’t tell whether I should see this movie.  I mean, some reviews imply that it’s one of the more original artworks to come along in years.  Meanwhile, the presence of Anthony Stewart Head, especially if he’ll be singing, makes this Buffy fan immediately vow [...]

No Sex, Please.

Sunday, June 15th, 2008

So a group of friends and I go last night to the premiere of the new M. Knight Shyamalan movie, The Happening.  In my mind, each of his movies has been successively less worthy than the last, but I figured he hit rock bottom with Lady in the Water, so how bad could it be, [...]

Falling Slowly

Monday, January 28th, 2008

I finally just saw the movie Once. Critics and bloggers I trusted wrote that it is one of the best films to come along in a years. They weren’t lying.

Them’s some bad reviews…

Saturday, January 26th, 2008

If ever there was a sign that today’s youth is in danger of cultural brain rot, the trend in “comedy” that has included Date Movie, Epic Movie, and now Meet the Spartans is it. Fortunately, critics everywhere are jumping at the opportunity to get creative in trashing this film, and that’s got to do at [...]

Another badass trailer

Wednesday, September 12th, 2007

Maybe it’s not as cool as the Beowulf one I put up yesterday, but I’m no less excited by Iron Man. With a release date of next May, clearly this is Marvel’s attempt at filling the Spider-Man void (till the 2009 release of Spider-Man 4, according to IMDb, but it’s hard to say how official [...]

What’s better than Angelina naked?

Tuesday, September 11th, 2007

Angelina naked… and MADE OF FIRE!!! I have long said that Robert Zemekis is one of the most underrated directors alive, especially when it comes to pushing the technology envelope. But this new Beowulf trailer is truly amazing. Look at the screen capture above. Did you realize that it’s 100% computer animation? I didn’t pick [...]

Fall movies I’m most excited to see

Monday, August 20th, 2007

Fall has long been my favorite season. The leaves go orange, the air turns crisp, and the mindless summer tentpoles give way to passion project Oscar bait. Of course, we’re not free from knock-offs of previous box-office champs, nor from standard Hollywood drivel. Still, the percentage of art-house fare rises, and I couldn’t be happier. [...]

Deceptive trailers

Saturday, August 11th, 2007

You know what movie was pretty darn good? Bridge to Terabithia. It has been sitting unwatched on my desk for a couple weeks, as other Netflix movies have come and gone, and tonight I put it in for background noise, expecting Narnia lite. The trailer for this movie was second in recent memory only to [...]
