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 [...]

Heckler (2007)

June 28th, 2009 · No Comments

I took 2 things away from this film I need to make sure that my critiques are about a film and are not personal slams against an actor who I understand does not control all that happens in a film as he works with others, a director and a writer. Jamie Kennedy is a bit [...]

Trekkies 2 (2004)

May 25th, 2009 · No Comments

I am not a Trekkie. I can honestly say that I don’t remember ever watching a full episode of Star Trek. There are parts of this movie that make me think that sitting down and watching a couple episodes might be an okay idea. They are presented as life lessons and unity plays by many [...]

Chasing Ghosts: Beyond the Arcade (2007)

May 1st, 2009 · No Comments

Glory Days, oh those Glory Days. I always thought that the guys that talked about how great their high school sports days were when they were paunchy, balding and sitting at the neighborhood bbq 30 years later were such losers. How sad is it that the best thing that has happened to you was 30 [...]

A documentary about insomnia. But not about insomnia in general, just one documentarian/found footage film maker whining for over an hour about how he is always tired. His family is obviously very tired of him whining about how tired he is too, you can hear it in their voices on the film. He wasn’t interesting [...]

Goth Cruise (2008)

January 20th, 2009 · No Comments

I know a lot of people cruise. My parents appear to love it and would go once a year if they could afford it. I, on the other hand, have no interest in being trapped on a boat on the high seas with a whole bunch of people I don’t know and most likely have [...]

Jump! (2007)

January 1st, 2009 · 1 Comment

I had thought about maybe adding some jump roping into my exercise routine because it is suppose to be great for calorie burning and cardio. After seeing this film, I am not sure whether I am inspired or intimidated. These jump ropers were amazing. Both single rope, double dutch, teams and individuals perform these amazing [...]
