This is the movie that broke the camel’s back, to mangle the metaphor [BTW, I won't be giving it a thorough review here, plenty has been written already - for my opinion of the movie, read on]. I dislike DVDs, generally. Oh, they were great in 1990. They were okay in 2000. But this is [...]

Stranded is an awesome film. If more movies were like this, I might actually enjoy more movies than I do. And God bless Netflix streaming – it’s better than sliced bread. After almost being turned off from the movie by the nearly unanimous poor reviews, I luckily remembered that most Netflix reviewers are (apparently) 12 [...]

Just watched a documentary called The People vs. George Lucas on Netflix which really covers all the main points of a previous post I wrote (and hits several other points as well, including fan edit films and some Indiana Jones trivia to boot).

And, actually, none of you are idiots. I’m preaching to the choir here. The idiots aren’t reading this. But if you know [...]

I watched Pi on Netflix the other night. It was interesting and good, I would say. But today I think of it only deliberately to provide a contrast. There are films I’ve watched recently on Netflix that I can’t even recall. They’re entirely forgettable. But Melancholia… Melancholia I watched for the first time a week [...]

American History X sucks. I can’t seem to find this view point anywhere online, like there’s a giant conspiracy afoot in the media (oh no, starting to sound like a looney republican!), but it must be said. This was a horrible movie from start to finish. About the closest I can find to anyone feeling [...]
