Less than 500 days of Summer

August 19, 2009

The poll for this entry, just out of curiosity:

So there goes summer. What a bummer. Why rhyme, some of the time, I don’t know, dont’ say I told you so. Okay I’ll stop doing that, it’s annoying and contributes nothing to this here blog thing.
As of now I managed to watch 53 movies for the [...]

Harry Potter, Bruno, etc

July 22, 2009

Some more movie reviews.
Also, I’ve discovered the poll feature on wordpress, so I guess I’ll be including some somewhat relevant polls hopefully with each post that I hope you participate in (because polls are no fun if I’m the only one that votes!).
Today’s poll:

- HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE – (2009)

Dir: David Yates; [...]

Public Enemies, Hangover, He’s Just Not that Into You

July 3, 2009

- PUBLIC ENEMIES -(2009)

Dir: Michael Mann; Star: Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, Marion Cotillard
Cat-and-mouse thriller that never ends, following John Dillinger (Depp) persistently pursued by blank faced fed Bale, who is always just one step behind. A lifeless, hollow shell of a movie that seems more like an excuse to use big names and violence to [...]

Summer Movies and Foreign Films

June 17, 2009

So summer’s been underway and I’ve had a chance to catch up on a lot of movies, and have spent some time at the theater and all that good stuff.I also realized I never wrote a review for Watchmen which I saw long ago. I also managed to watch 3 of the films nominated for [...]

Star Trek, 2009, School’s Out!

May 22, 2009

Now that school is out and finals are over I can continue to devote time to adding things to the good ole movie review blog. I’d also like to encourage all of the people who read this who feel like they have opinions about the goodness of movies they watch to start or restart or [...]

The Rest of 2008

February 20, 2009

So 2008 is over and I guess I’ll make a favorite movies list.

So here’s a list of my top 5 favorite movies of 2008:
1. Slumdog Millionaire
2. Let the Right One In
3. Milk
4. The Visitor
5. Encounters at the End of the World
All of these are movies that I think were genuinely “Great” from 2008, without any [...]

An Epic Year pt. 1

January 15, 2009

Okay, so here it is time to finish up all of those mountains of movie reviews that I’ve been needing to do since break started, my god I’ve pretty much seen everything I wanted to… And I had a long list. So here’s part one of those, since it would take too much time to [...]

Frosty Slumdogs and Milk

December 27, 2008

Okay, so with a break from school I’ve finally gotten the chance to catch up on all things art, especially movies and music! hooray you say? good. I got this absurd idea to write reviews from now on that are 100% sarcastic where I say the complete opposite of what I really mean for every [...]

Almost There…

December 9, 2008

So, It’s about the time of the year when we get to the goods cinematically, with all the production companies cranking out their heavyweights for Oscar season.  Unfortunately, all the reviews here don’t really reflect it. At least there’s always the reliably quirky British charm. So we can call this update the calm before the [...]

Elections and Some ole Newstuff

November 7, 2008

So, I can certainly say one thing about college: it’s really hard to go see a movie in theaters. Something about managing your own money makes it just that much more difficult… So I have yet to see a film in theaters! But I expect this to change some way or another, given the exciting [...]
