You ever had that night where you wanted to watch a movie, but you didn’t actually want to have to think or concentrate? Well, this is the movie for you. Adorable dogs doing silly things. And even if you don’t like silly movies, the chichuaha stampede in the desert is worth the cost of sitting [...]

The Yes Men Fix the World (2009)
August 28th, 2009 · No Comments
I find the Yes Men to be generally amusing, but I wonder if their tactics are the best way to go about things. Are you any better than liars if you yourself lie to make your point? Existential question at best, but something to think about. The main thing this film proves is that as [...]

Happy-Go-Lucky (2008) [HD]

A lovely look at an overly optimistic woman and the effect that has on the people around her. Some find the cheerfulness contagious, some flirty, some bothersome, some judgemental and some have accepted it. Is it good to always appear that happy? The character was likeable despite her bad taste in tights. Her friends truly [...]

I had one of those days where I just wanted a good movie with explosions. Instead I got possibly one of the most boring films based on a violent video game. Slow moving, boring, I personally wanted to shoot the characters who I couldn’t give a crap about. And who casts Mila Kunis as a [...]

Breaking and Entering (2006)

Great cast, pretty boring story. Rich architect moves office into “bad area” of town. Gets ripped off multiple times. Tracks down one of the thiefs. Falls for the thief’s mother despite having a long term girlfriend and her daughter at home. And they all end up doing the right thing. The acrobatics of the thiefs [...]

How can you not root for a Michael Cera character? You want him to get the girl, the RIGHT girl. Things have to work out for his characters or there just really is no justice in the world. And in this film he does. They love the same things, they connect despite ex’s getting in [...]

Goofy over the top silliness. What more can really be said? Every scene demonstrated unrealistic scenarios making even the blowing up of a crew member unexpectedly laugh out loud funny. I think the only problem I had with the film was the Jack Black character. He was wasted in this film. His character was not [...]

Babylon A.D. (2008) (HD)

Not enough action and the action that was there was filmed poorly. Stupid ending that seemed tacked on to allow for a sequel. You have two actors that are known for their ass-kicking in a film and you decide to shoot is so close that all you see is a blur? Why waste time with [...]
