Darkness Darkness, Darkness, Darkness…I was so excited when I saw the preview. The sporadic flashes of mutilated children appearing in the dark, the film’s gritty appearance…it was tantalizing. In all honesty I think production companies should be FINED for screening perfectly promising trailers and then letting their audiences down while we’re sitting in stadium seats…
2,000 British moviegoers were recently asked to identify the top three cheesiest moments in film. (The survey was conducted late last year by the British bakery Warburtons, in celebration of the launch of their new cheese-flavored crumpets, aptly enough.) The most popular responses were: 1. Titanic: Leonardo DiCaprio’s “I’m the king of the world!” 2….
I prefer buying a movie and watching it at home where I have readily access to my beer and other extracurriculars rather than going to the movie theater. But this weekend, Sin City comes out, a movie that may be worth going to the theater for. Check out the trailers: http://www.apple.com/trailers/miramax/sin_city/ The movie looks good,…
We can rant and rave about all of the new crappy movies that are out there today. We can shed tears over the Hollywood stars and their spouses splitting up. We can spend $11.50 on a single movie – only to be disappointed by the fact that it took us 2 hours working at a…
We went to see The Aviator and it was the most suffering that I’ve gone through in a long time. Or ever. It was a weekend matinee, and the theater was about half full, so my mind began to wriggle out of control right away when a woman sat down right next to me. The…
Often times, I find myself watching a movie from the perspective of a writer. This causes many interesting things to happen, including some of the following: 1.) I love the film, despite major plot holes, too much dependence on suspension of disbelief, poor acting or other glaring faults that cause others to hate the film….
Hide and Seek, where to start. Tsk Tsk Robert Deniro and Dakota Fanning. At least she is only 7 and may not have known better. First of all, I would like to state that my brain was playing hide and seek when I bought the ticket. I KNOW THAT! Anyway, when my roommate and I…
1) Troy wasn’t burned in a day, you know. 2) How about putting some gods in this movie? 3) What’s up with making Chryseis, Brieseis, Cassandra and Klytemnestra into the same person? What, there were too many women in the Illiad? 4) While we’re at it, how ’bout some backstory on Achilles? For all the…
OK, you can’t deny that a documentary about a company of American soldiers squatting in Uday Hussein’s bombed-out palace sounds freaking awesome. That’s why I went. They’re playing the electric guitar and stuff, in the trailer? And having pool parties? It’s like anarchy over there! Then, one soldier’s rapping about how “We live in this…
