The Night of the White Pants (2006)

May 3rd, 2009 · No Comments

Another in a long series of “It Happened in One Night” films. This doesn’t really hold up among some of the others as well, my favorite being “After Hours”. This follows a goofy night where RAff meets his girlfriends family, is outed as a drug dealer, breaks up with the girlfriend, gets kicked out of [...]

Groove (2000)

May 3rd, 2009 · No Comments

The rave culture of the early 90′s is examined in one night at an illegal SF rave in the factory district. Great DJs. Ok stories. Lots of A and E. Stolen electricity, bad directions, police raid, and the party continues. Nice cameos by Digweed and Polywog. imdb.com On Friday, a single e-mail blips through the [...]

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 [...]

Wide Awake (2006)

May 1st, 2009 · No Comments

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 [...]

Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008) [HD]

April 24th, 2009 · No Comments

We taped this in HD because we figured even if the story was as bad as the critics all said, at least we would have some pretty effects. So wrong. Such a waste of hard drive space on the DVR. Brendan Fraser needs to pick his movies better. I like him, but the last few [...]

Dawn of the Dead (2004)

April 22nd, 2009 · No Comments

Zac Synder’s first big film and not bad, actually quite fun. I was in the mood for a good shoot ‘em up, Zombie film and this fit the bill. Moved quick (even the Zombies moved fast) and was over before I knew it, maybe too soon (and you know I never say that). Some enjoyable [...]

Will Ferrell: You’re Welcome America – A Final Night with George W Bush (2009)

March 22nd, 2009 · No Comments

Let me start by saying that I find Will Ferrell to be a comic genius. He works in adult comedy as well as comedy for children. He is edgy while rarely being blue or disturbing depsite his seeming obsession with exposing himself. So this one man show was disappointing. At first I wasn’t sure if [...]

Hot Rod (2007)

March 22nd, 2009 · No Comments

Another in a long line of men who act like teenagers, parents that allow them to never grow up and the hot girls that realize they love them series. This film was never bad enough to stop watching, but never good enough to make me feel anyone deserved cash to make this. It ran the [...]
