From the same guy who did the 70-minute Phantom Menace movie review that took me 3 weeks to finish (but pretty worth it) now attacks Avatar in much less time. He’s a little weird, but for those who weren’t enthralled by the movie’s plot of message beating, it’s worth a watch. Maybe skim through part [...]
(500) Days of Summer
Rated PG-13
Runtime: 95 minutes
Directed by Marc Webb
Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel

This semi-indie romantic comedy starts right off with the narrator saying “This is a story of boy meets girl. But you should know up front, this is not a love [...]
I thought I’d do some quick reviews of movies that are available on demand for Netflix. The pickins are a little slim, but if you’re like me you forget to mail back the movies you just watched for about 3 weeks. I think I just mailed back a movie that I had gotten when it [...]
For almost every holiday or season, I have a movie tradition that sort of kicks it off. One of the few I hadn’t found one for was winter itself. This winter, in particular, I was needing some themed escapism while my face regained feeling. Christmas pretty much takes all the good movies for winter, so [...]

Funny People (2009) on DVD/Blu-Ray
Rated R
Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen
Directed by Judd Apatow
2 hours 6 minutes
Funny people, in a vacuum, is a decent movie. But taking into account what they were going for, how much of the film was really good, and who was in it, it ends up falling in mediocre-ville.
Funny People is directed by [...]
Star Trek (PG-13) 2009
Run time: 2 hours 3 minutes
Since I missed most of them this summer, I’ve been catching up on the big moneymakers on Blu-Ray the past few weeks. So far with Transformers 2 and G.I. Joe, I’ve been questioning that decision.
Fortunately, Star Trek was next on the list and I was very satisfied [...]
Yes, they did team up/fight each other, no this post isn’t about that. However, combining the star ratings together of these two would actually give it almost a passable score.
Transformers Revenge of the Fallen (Transformers 2) and G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra graced the screens this summer, and both are available now on DVD. I’m [...]
My Bloody Valentine (Rated R)
2009 – Runtime 1 hour 41 minutes
Cast: Jensen Ackles, Jaime King, Kerr Smith, Edi Gathegi, Tom Atkins
Review: Make sure you pay close attention during the opening credits, because they blast through a lot of history of the main characters using a 3D newspaper effect, and I was so busy going “ooo [...]
