Set your TiVo! Really. (I’ve just watched it on an advanced screener, so you know I know what I’m talking about.) And then, the next time you can’t sleep, you can put this on, and you’ll be out like a light in two minutes. *snore* Remember how we talked about trailer, and how terrible it … more…
Not to be. I’m easing myself into my Hamlet marathoning since it’s such a downer of a story — sheesh, what was with this Shakespeare dude, anyway? — so I’m starting with the only version of the tale of the crazy Danish prince to be sent up by the Mystery Science Theater 3000 guys: a … more…
Oh man, do I love this movie. It’s so good, and so chock full of a slew of bright young British actors — Michael Sheen, Emily Mortimer, Stephen Campbell Moore, Fenella Woolgar, James McAvoy — that I always forget that David Tennant is in it until he suddenly shows up and starts behaving in a … more…
Just want to point out that, as I unequivocally predicted almost a year ago, the Doctor Who episode “Blink” just won this year’s Dramatic Presentation, Short Form Hugo. I watched the episode again last night, which was probably my tenth viewing (or more), and it just never gets old. I’ll make an unequivocal prediction for … more…
Jedi Mind Trick “You fought in the Clone Wars?” Oh man, do I remember hearing Luke Skywalker say that when I was eight years old and thinking, Wow, cool! Clone wars! What could that have been? Now, I’ll concede that what the Clone Wars actually turned out to have been, in that historical era a … more…
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)
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.
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…
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…
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…
