More people I like in a movie I didn’t. Maybe it is just me, but I just can’t take the “oh my childhood was so awful so I will use that as an excuse to be a complete ass” films anymore. Because when it comes down to it, you don’t fall for the daughter of [...]

Some Girl (1998)
June 17th, 2009 · No Comments
This film was listed as a comedy in the summary. Only problem, it wasn’t funny. It was actually sort of sad watching this dysfunctional group of 20-somethings risk friendships for a one night stand, fall hopelessly in love with people that couldn’t care less about them, and believe anything the boy with a pretty smile [...]

Moola (2007)
June 13th, 2009 · No Comments
A film about corporate take overs, buy outs, small companies vs. giant corporations, good vs. evil, people vs. money told in the most uninteresting story possible. A glow stick maker is failing. It is discovered that the companies product can be used to let farmers know when a cow is ‘in heat’ and can be [...]

The Promotion (2008)
June 12th, 2009 · No Comments
I don’t recall hearing about this being in the theatre. There are alot of actors in this film that you would think you would see on posters and in ads, but maybe after seeing the end product they all decided they would not do any promotion for the film. Two guys go for a promotion [...]

The Tracey Fragments (2007)
June 12th, 2009 · No Comments
This common story of an unhappy teenager, her missing brother, guilt, want of acceptance and parental issues was told in a difficult to watch format of both small ‘fragments’ on the screen and a nonlinear story. A film made for the big screen, because you can’t tell what is happening in all the little pieces [...]

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 [...]

Surfer, Dude (2008)
May 16th, 2009 · No Comments
Another in a series of the little guy winning out over the corporation by just doing what he is doing and being who he is being, dude. With a twist — a bigger corporation swallows up the one that is doing him wrong, man. And the giant corporation is sympathetic to the fact that he [...]

One Point O (2004) aka Paranoia 1.0
May 16th, 2009 · No Comments
This movie could have made a great statement about commercial culture and how it is running/ruining us as a society. We are becoming to easily controlled by media and advertising. Instead it tried SOOOOO hard to be Lynch-esque that the message they appeared to have been trying to make got REALLY lost. Instead devolving into [...]
