This is Javier Bardem’s movie – He was chillingly effective in No Country For Old Men, and is just crazy effective again here. He’s mastered the art of trying to stifle the maniacal laugh, the single most oft messed up villain trait. He is by far the gold standard of movie bad asses and yes… Continue reading Skyfall – 8 out of 10

The Perks Of Being A Wallflower
Couldn’t help thinking while watching this movie that it’s unfair. How, for example, can I not like a movie with music by David Bowie? Several references to The Smiths? Fleetwood Mac, Smashing Pumpkins, The Beatles, etc. As well as discussions about To Kill A Mockingbird, On The Road and The Fountainhead? Can those books get… Continue reading The Perks Of Being A Wallflower

Batman The Dark Knight Rises
This scene is absolutely and positively one of my favorites in the whole of the Batman series.
The Adventures Of Tintin Movie Review
Of course I’m gonna write about this. I’m a Tintin freak and have been most of my life. I inhaled the Tintin books when I was a teen, and probably several times more into College and onwards, reading them over again when I had the chance. So it’s hard for me to write about a… Continue reading The Adventures Of Tintin Movie Review
Bridesmaids
Annie (Kristen Wiig) is a 30-something bachelorette struggling with a battered sense of self after the combination of a failed relationship and a failed bakery business. As a result she allows herself to be used by Ted (John Hamm) as a convenient and easily dismissed fuck buddy, and goes about life directionless in a job… Continue reading Bridesmaids
Sick Ayuc, Groceries, A Kid’s Fight Against Cancer, and other things.
I had been itching to blog these past days but unfortunately, Ayuc has acted up. It freezes right in the middle of things, which indicate either 2 things broken: the motherboard or RAM. Since it manages to boot up to a certain point, I’m blaming RAM. I have a source where I can buy 1gb.… Continue reading Sick Ayuc, Groceries, A Kid’s Fight Against Cancer, and other things.
Zack and Miri Don’t Really Get It Done
Ok at the end of my review, I’m supposed to basically say how the saving grace of this movie is the soundtrack. But I’m saying it out now because I want to post a vid of my fave song from it (the pixies’ ‘hey’) just before I put on the ‘keep reading’ tag. So here… Continue reading Zack and Miri Don’t Really Get It Done
Broken Flowers Movie Review
Almost by accident I watched Broken Flowers, and the fact that I had 0 expectations I think, adds to how I think this is probably one of the best movies I’ve ever watched. I came about it when I checked out Rotten Tomatoes for some reason or other, and happened onto a Bill Murray movies… Continue reading Broken Flowers Movie Review
Hairspray Movie Review
If there’s any type of movie I’d say that best reflects my idea of Hollywood, it’s the big grand musical. Now I’m fairly aware that saying that sounds very gay, which I’m sure makes my homophobic girlfriend cringe. But hey, I’m not gonna lie. Big grand musicals are the epitome, to me, of what a… Continue reading Hairspray Movie Review
