Wooooooo. I’m very excited for tonight. After an entire weekend of intense acquisition, I finally have a copy of Pan’s Labyrinth to watch. I have heard and read nothing but good things about this movie. I’m even more excited now that I’ve seen The Devil’s Backbone (which writer/director Guillermo del Toro considers to be […]
It wasn’t horrible, and the colors in the movie were just so damn vivid. Worth a look if you’re really bored or don’t feel like thinking very much. Also worth it for the excellent “holy shit look what a .50 caliber round will do to a car” scenes.
Miami Vice Unrated DVD
2.5/4
First off: I need to stop eating *burps* because I’m going to be rockin’ an Ethiopian-stylee pot belly in about five seconds if I don’t. Seriously. *looks disdainfully at empty leftover macaroni and cheese bowl*
I’ve had a very good break thus far. It’s been a lot of doing nothing bolstered by […]
The Conformist - Extended Edition (1970 [2006 DVD Release], Drama/Foreign, 111minutes, Rated R)
[RT|IMDB|MC]
Before the movie started, I joked about the presence of naked butts and nipples in this movie. Since I’d never seen the movie, I had no way of knowing how right I was. The movie practically starts out with a naked lady butt! […]
Q: What in the balls is wrong with War of the Worlds?
A: EVERYGORRAMTHING.
I don’t think I’ve ever been so frustrated with a movie in my entire life. The two kids alone are enough to make me shut it off halfway through (I’m not even sure I made it halfway through, but they really pissed me […]
Lady Vengeance (2005, Mystery/Thriller/Drama/Foreign, 116minutes, Not Rated)
[RT|IMDB|MC]
Writer/Director Chan-wook Park’s final installment in his “vengeance trilogy” was a little bit of a letdown after the excellent Oldboy. There’s something about his style that I really enjoy, though. A lot of the same actors appear in this movie, including the lead from Oldboy in a decidedly villainous […]
Oldboy (2003, Mystery/Thriller/Action/Foreign, 120minutes, Rated R)
[RT|IMDB|MC]
Oldboy is an exciting and entertaining film about the pursuit of vengeance. The movie opens with Oh Dae-su drunk in a police station. His friend comes to pick him up and (presumably) take him home. On the way, they stop at a phone booth, where Oh Dae-su mysteriously disappears. […]
Girl, Interrupted (1999, Biography/Drama, 127minutes, Rated R)
[RT|IMDB|MC]
I’m not going to go into too much detail with this one since it’s an older movie and you probably would’ve seen it by now if you wanted to. Unfortunately, I had no idea how much I didn’t want to watch this movie. It was boring. I think it […]
Slither (2005, Sci-Fi Horror/Comedy, 96minutes, Rated R)
[RT|IMDB|MC]
I wasn’t sure quite what to expect when I started watching Slither, but I realized pretty quickly that I was in for a good time. Slither is a Sci-Fi Horror Comedy movie about an alien-transporting meteorite that crashes to earth in the rural town of Wheelsy, infects the town’s […]
I just finished the film mentioned in this post’s title, so do forgive me if I’m in a strange mood as I write. You see, it’s left me feeling more than a bit like blowing something into very tiny pieces. That and my last 36 hours or so. To recap:
Arriving home from […]
