- "E" for Effort?
As good as it was, everyone pretty much knew that Iron Man was just something to hold people over until The Dark Knight finally showed up. Even Robert Downey Jr. was willing to make fun of this fact. But it’s only one point behind The Dark Knight on Rotten Tomatoes. Is it just as good?
Immediately [...]
- The Last Laugh
Hopefully we can all agree on two things.
1. It’s sad that Heath Ledger is no longer with us, both because of the entertainment he brought us as an actor and more so because of the tragedy of dying so young, leaving behind a grieving family and a young child who will have to grow up [...]
- The Dark Knight Always Triumphs
The Dark Knight currently holds two pretty impressive #1 spots. (Well, actually it holds quite a few, but I’m only going to talk about two of them.) While I thought the darker tone of the film would prevent it from reaching anything higher than #3 for all-time biggest opening weekend box office, it reached [...]
- Changing Horses In Midstream
I watched Hancock earlier this week, and while it had its moments and solidified my high regard for Will Smith as an actor, I did not like the film. It had a lot of potential. Perhaps too much, as by the end it seemed to be pulling in multiple directions.
In fact, halfway through it complete [...]
- This Was Your Life
The other night my roommate and I attended a screening of the soon to be released film American Teen. It’s your typical high school film. There’s comedy and drama. People are mean. There’s a nerd who wants to find a girlfriend. There are relationships that start and end. There’s a subplot about the basketball team. [...]
- Women Wear Pants Too: The Ladies of "Man Stroke Woman"
From time to time, I’ll highlight a lady that gets to do more in Hollywood than just play the wife/girlfriend/romantic interest.
THE LADIES OF “MAN STROKE WOMAN”
Amanda Abbington
Daisy HaggardMeredith MacNeill
First, let me clarify that this show isn’t as risqué as the title makes it sound.[1] It airs on BBC, and in American terminology it would more [...]
- Friends On TV
Last Sunday some friends and I staged a reading of an episode of “30 Rock” that I wrote for a contest.[1] Based on their feedback and comments I’ve gotten from people who read it later, I did a good job capturing the voice of the show. And I have to say: it was easy.
That doesn’t [...]
- Category Five: 5 Actors Who I Can’t Believe Haven’t Been Nominated For An Oscar
You know the old saying: “It’s an honor just to be nominated.” Obviously, it’s more of an honor to win, but for the most part, I think these statements are genuine. In the acting categories especially, there’s often a favorite to win. If you aren’t that favorite, you should still be pretty happy of the [...]
- In Defense of "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom"
I was extremely disappointed by the latest Indiana Jones movie. While I wouldn’t go so far as to call it “terrible,” I did leave the theater feeling let down and kind of angry, though a large part of that was due to the fact that the stuff I disliked the most was at the end [...]
- Liveblogging A Terrible Movie, Vol. 1
I recently rented National Lampoon’s Cattle Call. Though this was strictly for research purposes, I’m still ashamed. And since I was going to have to watch this thing anyway, I figured we should both get some entertainment out of it. So I liveblogged it.
As it turns out, it was far from the worst comedy I’ve [...]
