There’s an interesting article in the NY Times called Taking Back The Knife: Girls Gone Gory in which it talks about the recent increasing in horror movies being made and the strange findings of recent box office receipts showing that women have an even bigger appetite for horror films than men. This surprised me although [...]
Last month i saw the film 500 Days of Summer. I have a few thoughts about it: In the film, the main character is a guy who writes greeting cards. While this is his job, he’s actually an architect. When i heard this, the movie immediately became less original and unique to me. Being an [...]
Last night i saw The Hurt Locker and i have to say that it is a great film. It’s a great story about a man, William James (Jeremy Renner), who diffuses bombs in Iraq under enemy fire. It’s an absurdly dangerous job and he rellishes in it. The movie starts with a quote, “War is [...]
I was listening to a debate going on the BS Report about the best movie of the past 10 years. It’s 2009 and the era called “the aughts” or “the zeros” is almost over. One thing that is really troubling to realize is that the best movies of this decade are noticeably worse than the [...]
Saw Bruno last night and here are some thoughts: The trailer was hilarious BUT gave away way too many scenes. Watching the movie, I found that there was a setup and you already knew what was going to happen. This was true for the camping trip and the military attempt. Similarly, he gave away too [...]
I went to the movie The Brothers Bloom last weekend and i have to say that it was a really fun flick. It’s getting killed at Rotten Tomatoes (57%) but trust me it’s a great movie. It’s written and directed by the guy who did the high school drug mystery movie Brick – which in [...]
I get Esquire magazine and i have to say that i really like it. The Sports Guy has a rule that he judges how good a magazine is by how long it takes him to read and i have to say that i end up reading Esquire longer than any other mag i get. I [...]
I saw the movie Watchmen last night and i have to say that i really liked it. Here are some thought why. The movie was…. Merciless. Some will say that the movie is too violent but i think that it actually ads to the character of the film. This is a world where superheros have [...]
This Friday i went and saw the movie Coraline with some friends (trailer is here). While the movie sports an ordinary story – a cartoonish plot of evil lady trying to steal a young girls soul – it was extraordinary in the the way it looked in two ways. First it was stop-motion, and second [...]
I recently saw the movie Doubt with Philip Seymour and Meryl Streep. Both of them are awesome (as usual) and the movie really delivers. I was hesitant to go see it as who wants to see a movie about nuns creating drama – sounds really boring. But, it is fast paced and captivating. Some thoughts: [...]
