Less than 500 days of Summer

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 [...]

Frosty Slumdogs and Milk

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 [...]

Elections and Some ole Newstuff

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 [...]

Christopher Nolan Sucks; Wall-E; Thank God for Indies

Okay. So Christopher Nolan is one of those modern filmmakers who really sucks majorly at making things not suck. You may remember him as the writer/director of 2006’s cinematic crudbucket The Prestige, or 2000’s disgustingly pointless Memento. More recently he’s been the head honcho behind the next generation of Batman movies, first with Batman Begins [...]

Get Smart, like M. Night Shyamalan!

- GET SMART – [2008]
Dir:Peter Segal; Star:Steve Carell, Anne Hathaway (PG13)
Another spy-spoof, a la Naked Gun or Austin Powers, following agent Maxwell Smart in his naive [...]

By golly, Indy’s Back!

I’m going to be honest, Raiders of the Lost Ark is my favorite movie of all time, Harrison Ford is my favorite actor, and Steven Spielberg is my favorite living director (cliche, I know). I have followed the conception of Indiana Jones 4 for four years, following its cancellation and inevitable de-cancellation, and have long [...]

Spanish culture… In Spanish

So, I managed by coincidence to see a couple of good movies in Spanish about Spanish things, both of which were excellent. One of them is a little old and the other is fashionably old and has a provocative title that will probably scare the average person away, but it is worth seeking out. I [...]

Hispanic Culture… in English…

For some strange reason I managed to see two new movies this last weekend, BOTH of which are in some way related to Latin American Culture, populated with Hispanic actors, and are essentially ABOUT the culture itself, but they’re in English! I have a feeling they would have turned out better if they were fully [...]
