trailer break: ‘Battle in Seattle’

Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Oh noes! Librul Hollywood eleet celebri-communists strike again with their pinko nonsense! How will the globalcorps survive this onslaught? *swoon* Someone get me my Baa-Baa-Sheeple Brand Smelling Salts(TM)! Battle in Seattle opens in limited release on September 19. (Technorati tags: Battle in Seattle, trailer)

screencap Friday: what the flick? #32

Friday fun! Here’s a screen capture from one of the DVDs in my collection (and it’s definitely from a movie, not a TV show). Guess the movie for fun and, well, fun. No prizes, just bragging rights. But hey: one guess per comment — no fair hogging all the guesses.

Nazis for Christmas

If it’s Christmas, it must be time for Nazis! MGM has announced the release date of Bryan Singer’s new film Valkyrie, and it’s Friday, December 26, 2008. Cuz nothing says holiday fun — or “gimme an Oscar” — like some good old goosestepping and heil-Hitlering. Actually, I kid Valkyrie, even though it’s the movie that … more…

watch it: “Lego World Trade Center Attacks”

More LEGOness. I post this not because the movie itself is well done or amusing or out of some other impetus that is generally positive, but because it makes wonder about who made it and why: I think this must have been done by a child, but I’m torn between whether it’s a cathartic way … more…

Vicky Cristina Barcelona (review)

Woodyn’t You Know It My relationship with Woody Allen, which has been love/hate of late — emphasis on the hate — is taking an uptick. His last few films — Scoop, Match Point, Cassandra’s Dream — couldn’t hold a light to, say, Manhattan, but at least they didn’t make me want to claw my eyes … more…

Fly Me to the Moon (review)

My eyes are still burning from this painfully misbegotten attempt to… I don’t know what. Bring back the horrible racial, cultural, and gender stereotypes of the 1960s? Creep out audiences with a depiction of weirdly, disturbingly human-ish flies the likes of which we haven’t seen since the tiny head of that mad scientist squeeked out … more…

the hacktacular “journalists” of ‘Swing Vote’

There’s an odd bit of nonsense in the ends credits of Swing Vote: The CNN Journalist portrayed is a fictitious character I’m not sure which character this is meant to refer to. I suspect it’s the TV news reporter played by Paula Patton, the one who befriends Molly, the little girl, but she’s not a … more…

trailer break: ‘The Haunting of Molly Hartley’

Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… MTV Music Videos MTV Shows Entertainment News 1) I have sinned. 2) Usually I’m pretty good at flirting. 3) I can’t believe someone actually thought that line about what high school can be was worth running with. Unbelievable. 4) Who is named “Chace”? I mean, really. … more…

how does this happen?

How does an outlet like Reel Suave get such a prominent link at the IMDB? The site has lots of prominent links at IMDB as a “news source.” I don’t begrudge anybody their links. But this review wrongly credits Ethan Coen as a screenwriter — it’s Etan Cohen, a completely different person — and worse, … more…
