- What I thought about Paranormal Activity
Don’t read this if you haven’t seen it. (I’m looking at you, Marshall) I was really excited about seeing this, I read a couple of the preliminary festival reviews and have been avoiding any movie marketing since. Those of you that know me are aware of the kind of horror nerd that I am. I [...]
- Poor Bill Compton
So, season 2 of True Blood. Now we’re 6 weeks in I feel I can make a couple of observations … Observation One. Bill Compton is totally over. EVERYONE is crushing on Eric. There are a number of reasons for this, they include; Eric not being English. Remember the day you learnt the dude who [...]
- Wow, an actually funny, funny or die clip
Funny if you watch a lot of mumblecore that is. (Johnny, if you’re reading this, I’m still eagerly awaiting Alexander the Last) The Dirty Garage – watch more funny videos
- I wish I were Max…
I’m ill. The kind where I crave childhood attention and some parental figure to bring me soup and check on me. This, it turns out was a perfect time to watch the Where The Wild Things are trailer. It hit me with a wave of nostalgia so strong it was palpable. Jesus, this looks like [...]
- I Watched the Watchmen (and then I thought…meh…)
This isn’t going to be the worlds most positive review, but neither is it going to be the most negative. I gave myself a couple of days to digest it so I didn’t just use this as a forum to continue spitting the venom I was immediately after the screening. This is what I thought. [...]
- Well, you’re two penises short of a Shania Twain reimagination band!
So, Nick and Norah’s Infinite playlist then. Wow. Now before we begin, put aside the usual indier than thou judgement we reserve for bands and remember that this is film and it’s a different deal, and if it were music, then Nick and Norah’s would be like Death Cab anyway, the acceptable face of big [...]
- best of year lists – films (part one)
I’m having a perfect last sunday morning of the year, it’s freezing, but the sun is shining through my window and forming rainbow prisms all over my room, nancy is asleep on the bed next to me, I’m listening to Jesse Lacey cover Iron and Wine (from when Iron&Wine was still awesome) and everything is [...]
- And these children, that you spit upon…
I’ve wanted to see this movie for a while, the poster had me all smitten before everyone in the world that I respect fell in love with it themselves. It’s interesting then that after I got hold of a copy I couldn’t bring myself to watch it at first, in case it wasn’t the kind [...]
- and if you ever get back to hackensack….
Today was a pretty perfect rainy sunday, house to myself, didn’t have any plans to leave it, and more movie catch ups. I decided to create a seasonal sunday double bill for myself. I kicked it off with Zack and Miri Make a Porno. It’s no secret I used to be a huge kevin smith [...]
- you’re just a phase I’ve gotten over anyhow…
Sick sick sick. I thought I was better, but apparently no, I was just drunk. I had all manner of grandiose plans for this weekend, erotic comics lecture with Jess and then Cloak/Dagger tonight, instead I’ve spent the day in bed feeling more than a little pathetic. The one thing that’s making me feel better [...]
