Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Really? A Wild Hogs reference? I will give the trailer the “What color is Michael Jackson?” joke — that’s pretty funny. I’ll even give it the Back to the Future/Bill and Ted retro nostalgia vibe. But the Twitter/Viagra joke has got to go. Hot Tub Time Machine … more…
We know how it is: You’d like to go to the movies this weekend, but you’re worried that you won’t be able to find a humans-only multiplex now that the aliens have arrived and are swarming all over like they own the place. But you can have a multiplex-like experience at home with a collection … more…
This is a spoiler-free introduction to the original British series, for those who may not be familiar with it. I’ll soon start spoiler-heavy, episode-by-episode discussions of Series 1 for those already deeply into the show.
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… I learned yesterday that this shan’t be screened for critics, and now I can see why. How the hell old is that guy playing the valedictorian? The IMDB says 28. Geez. Or perhaps I should say geezer. Not that 28 is old old, of course, but it’s … more…
Apparently this shirt quickly sold out at Woot.com: I can’t see why. The illustration is completely inaccurate. The TARDIS would never sustain damage like this merely from a collision with an automobile, even one tricked out with an oscillation overthruster– er, flux capacitor. (Thanks to Colleen for pointing this out to me.)
This brutally stupid superhero sendup consistently mistakes wholesale theft for creative cleverness.
It’s Thursday, so it’s time to remake an 80s classic TV show or movie with an all-new cast. This week: Back to the Future, the classic 1985 Robert Zemeckis science fiction comedy about a time-travelling high schooler who accidentally changes his family’s past… and so threatens to wipe himself out of existence. The original cast … more…
Another year of really, really crappy movies was saved, in the end, by a Bohemian storm, a magical ring, a robot boy, and a lonely mademoiselle. A feeling of the otherworldly permeates every movie on my best-of list this year, even the one documentary. And the weird thing is that most of these films were … more…
Donnie Darko in, in fact, what Ferris Bueller’s Day Off might have been if David Lynch had ever gotten his hands on it, a daring, disturbing, visionary debut from 26-year-old writer/director Richard Kelly.
With Forrest Gump, the fable of the dimwitted but goodhearted Alabaman who was, in his own words, a ‘football star, war hero, national celebrity, and shrimp-boat captain,’ director Robert Zemeckis takes his work to a new level of maturity. His previous films are, for the most part, fun and highly entertaining, but Forrest Gump has an intricacy and depth that is more rewarding while still being enormously engaging.
