I’ve had many discussions lately about politicians; the majority of the discussions have been about their worst attributes. You know what I’m talking about? Most people when talking about politicians rarely have anything nice to say. They are the vermin of our system that are despised because of their wealth, power, and willingness to sell […]
It isn’t very often I go into a film, and it is something completely different than what I had imagined. Most of the times after seeing a trailer once, I get the general feel of a film, and I know what to expect going in. Nothing could have prepared me for Drive. Ryan Gosling is […]
Anyone who has ever had the flu can agree on one thing, it really sucks, but most of you wouldn’t say it is scary. If you’ve ever read Stephen King’s The Stand you probably are in the group that is already scared of the possibility of a super-flu. However, most of you probably take your […]
Remakes can be quite a mixed bag. On one had, you have a lot of people who are versed in the source material, and on the other hand it is twice as hard to make an original product. As remakes have become more and more popular throughout Hollywood, the flair in which they approach them […]
Right from the beginning Rise of the Planet of Apes has a lot going against it. For one, it is a prequel to a series of famous sci-fi films, and secondly it follows possibly one of the worst remakes of all time, Tim Burton’s Planet of the Apes remake that failed in spectacular fashion. I went […]
Apparently someone decided my day should be filled with daydreams of Jedi vs. Sith battles, because I’ve been bombarded with Star Wars themed merchandise today. It started this morning when I woke up to see the Star Wars: The Old Republic pre-order has begun. I promptly opened a line of credit so I could purchase […]
It is strange that film can produce such conflicting emotions that have nothing to do with the actual quality of the film itself. I found myself anticipating this movie with bittersweet feelings. On one hand, any new Potter film has always been looked forward to immensely; on the other hand this is the very last time […]
It happens to everyone, you see that one trailer that makes you laugh til your gut hurts, but immediately you think “I bet they showed all the funny parts in the trailer”. Which is exactly what I was hoping would not happen with the new comedy film, Horrible Bosses, a film about three men who […]
Think back to a decade ago, and you’d be hard pressed to think of two bigger movie stars than Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts. While the two names still command a lot of respect, their box office draw isn’t quite what it used to be. Julia’s draw has gone down as she has taken a […]
I can already see it now; I login to Netflix and click on Bad Teacher, and automatically it tells me that if I liked it I might also like Bad Santa, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, etc. It is yet another film where every main character is despicable, but it still somehow manages to entertain. Elizabeth Halsey […]
