I cannot emphasize enough how fucking horrible this shite is. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby is one of the most vile worthless pieces of “entertainment” to be put on film since the infamous Laserblast. It’s a toss-up but Laserblast still sucks a little bit more. DO NOT SEE THIS FILM. There is very […]
Well I had high, high hopes for this film because I really enjoyed the original. But, YARRR, this one disappointed. It’s not that it was terrible, but that’s a far cry from good sez I. The biggest failing was it was far, far, too long and lost its way in the middle never to be […]
Yeah, I finally saw Happy Feet. I saw the preview some time ago and thought it looked stupid. I didn’t really want to see it. But a funny thing happened on the way to the forum. Everyone who did see it, told me they liked it or loved it. Sure, they all thought it got […]
This is a retro-post. I put this online 24 December 2005 using the date it was originally sent out. This isn’t the type of film I normally see. But it looked interesting to me, and it’s getting press as one of the best films of the year. It finally opened in Miami this weekend in […]
This is a retro-post. I put this online 24 December 2005 using the date it was originally sent out. My review of “AI” — the Kubrick film as interpreted by Steven Spielberg. Rest assured that there are NO SPOILERS in this review. I guess I must start by saying I went out of my way […]
I often write movie reviews, concert reviews, and theatre reviews and I’ve not been good about getting them out except to a few people here and there, so I’ve decided to do some retroactive posts. I will add them all into my blog with the original date they were posted. These posts will be clearly […]
This is a retro-post. I put this online 24 December 2005 using the date it was originally sent out. First, if you’ve read the book this review will be Spoiler Free. If you haven’t read the book you may want to skip this until you’ve seen the film. Secondly, I last read this book over […]
This was a banner weekend for audio and video. First, I finally bought and listened to Green Day’s American Idiot . It’s fantastic through and through. Not your usual Green Day, but it’s just amazing. Not only does it (literally) rock, it’s got a great deal to say. I recommend this album to everyone who […]
This is a retro-post. I put this online 24 December 2005 using the date it was originally sent out. SPOILERS **DO NOT READ BELOW THIS – PLENTY OF SPOILERS (Well it’s hard to have spoilers for a film which everyone seeing it already knows how it must end, but Lucas has surprises for everyone in […]
The man may have been great or maybe he wasn’t. I am offering no opinion on that count. Instead, I offer my two cents on the movie. The movie was visually beautiful. The sound was a bit distracting, but that may have been the theatre I was in. The movie suffered from “too” problems. (1) […]
