Splice
Every now and then, there comes along a movie so radical, so brilliant it creates a paradigm shift in the thought process of how a film should be made. And every now and then, there comes along a movie that nearly makes me weep for the sake of humanity. Hello, Splice. Now, I am a […]
Alexx Calise – In Avanti
As I returned to work Friday afternoon after picking up my corporate lunch at McDonald’s, I opened my e-mail to find an album awaiting me from a young lady named Alexx Calise. I read over the e-mail to make sure it was from an actual person and not the usual shady spam mail on how […]
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
I went into the theater skeptical of yet another video game movie. Not helping my skepticism was that Jake Gyllenhaal was playing the lead in an action film. To my surprise, Gyllenhaal was not the problem. In fact, I have to say the whole cast did quite well with the flimsy storyline. Prince of Persia: […]
Sex and the City 2
The sequel to Sex and the City on the silver screen excels past the first film, unfortunately that film was a big steaming pile of awfulness, and while this films first act starts off on a fairly right foot it crumbles in it’s final after laboring and dragging through the middle. The film picks up […]
Roger Qbert Reviews “Sex and the City 2”
I am not, nor do I fancy myself to be, a “tough guy”. You should require no more proof than the fact that I just used the word “fancy” as a verb. However, should that not be sufficient, allow me to expound. I don’t watch or play sports. I don’t own any Ed Hardy t-shirts […]
Lost: “The End” Series Finale Thoughts and Theories
So Lost has finally come to an end, how did the finale make you feel? From the voices on the internet it sounds like some people are quite divided on the episode and even dogging the series as a whole. Well fear not, I am not here to try and convince you otherwise but if […]
Framing Hanley – A Promise to Burn (CD Review)
Too often nowadays, it seems like a new album release from a favorite band is a bit like a date with me. The early promises sound terrific, and it seems like it has the potential to be something special, but you quickly discover underneath all the eye candy, there’s not much depth. After a while, […]
Roger Qbert Reviews “Shrek Forever After”
Shrek is back and this time our hero (Mike Myers) is experiencing a midlife crisis of sort. He and his bride, Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) are the parents of triplets and Shrek is bristling at the repetitious mundanity of domesticity longing for the days when he could take a mud bath in peace. Instead, he’s […]
Roger Qbert Reviews “MacGruber”
Saturday Night Live’s contribution to cinema is a spotty one. After the goldmine of the first Wayne’s World, Lorne Michaels seemingly began rushing every character that ever appeared twice into pre-production. (It’s long been rumored that Mike Myers, after seeing how much money Wayne’s World made, deliberately kept Austin Powers to himself since creating him […]
