And the hits keep on coming from Hollywood. They are continuing to dip into the well of my childhood (or near-childhood, at least) and take things that I remember and sometimes deeply appreciate and mock sad mockeries or interpretations out of them. First up is Carrie. This movie doesn’t come out until 2013, but let’s […]
I know it’s been awhile since I was on the blog. Believe me, it was hurting me more than it was hurting the 8 of you. This most recent class was a real test of skill and time management, so some things had to wait (like blogging, and my career move into synchronized horse dancing). […]
I’m always intrigued by a good conspiracy theory. Heck, I even created one from whole cloth for our fantasy football league that we still reference to this day six years later. The Kennedy assassination, the Matrix, Roswell, the Pentaverate, (Ok, so two of those are fictional) and others always pique my interest. I would not […]
It’s been awhile since I loved on some movie trailers. So let’s bring back this long-running series with a trailer I stumbled upon the other day. I’m not really one for “road trip” movies. After having gone to the mountaintop with National Lampoon’s Vacation, it’s somewhat difficult to imagine anything ever coming close to Clark […]
You all know that I don’t read much fiction, but the few authors I do read, I revere. One of them is Lee Child, and his Jack Reacher novels. Reacher is a badass. An ex-MP officer who strikes fear in the hearts of those who wrong others, and is not afraid to put hands on […]
The last time a trailer for a TV show got me jacked up and excited, I was crushed by the massively disappointing “The Killing.” And I’m not going back to it, either. But that was a show on AMC, and before that, I cannot remember the last time a major network show got me this […]
Time for a couple trailers for movies I am looking forward to seeing. Moonrise Kingdom is the real gem of this bunch. It’s the return of one of my favorite directors, Wes Anderson, he of Rushmore, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Royal Tenenbaums and Life Aquatic fame. My joy runneth over watching this trailer. The Dark Knight […]
I’m showing off two trailers today that are geared toward the wife but for two wholly different reasons. First up is the trailer for One for the Money. The wife reads these Janet Evananonconcnnovovnivich books like I read UK recruiting news, which is scary since it means I probably have a problem that needs professional […]
I know I’m probably alone when I ask if anyone else who reads this blog has played Portal and Portal 2. The sequel is one of the best games to be made this year, and director Dan Trachtenberg has gone the extra mile and made a faux movie based on the game. This is a […]
As most people know, I’m a huge fan of the documentary Darkon. And like the funny subplot of Role Models, here is a movie that looks to blend the realms of Darkon and the campy humor of Army of Darkness, which means it could hold promise of delivering laughs. […]
