Almost by accident I watched Broken Flowers, and the fact that I had 0 expectations I think, adds to how I think this is probably one of the best movies I've ever watched.
I came about it when I checked out Rotten Tomatoes for some reason or other, and happened onto a Bill Murray movies compilation, [...]
Ari Gold is my hero. He's the guy I've always been but was too shy to let come out because I was too worried about offending people whom I really shouldn't care about anyway.
Whew what a mouthful. 'Nyway here he is.
If there's any type of movie I'd say that best reflects my idea of Hollywood, it's the big grand musical. Now I'm fairly aware that saying that sounds very gay, which I'm sure makes my homophobic girlfriend cringe. But hey, I'm not gonna lie. Big grand musicals are the epitome, to me, of what a [...]
Whatever's the latest Harry Potter movie, it's almost always the best one. Some people will argue, but in this case, I'm quite positive that a lot would agree that it is.
Just to get it out of the way, I think the fifth movie was great. I have read the book about three times already, and [...]
Writing this, I realized that there are many ways you can approach Ratatouille, which is probably it's main weakness. First and foremost, you can write about the lead character Remy, which is a rat, and approach how inappropriate this is for a movie about food.
Second, you can talk about the food, and the fact that [...]
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, is the kind of movie that reminds me why I've decided at some point, to establish standards in my choice of movies. Not that it's earth - shattering mind you. Far from it. Rather, Fantastic Four II is the kind of movie that'll make you answer, when someone [...]
Sunshine is a story about a group of scientists and astronauts sent out to space 50 years from now to fix the sun via exploding a bomb into it. First they have to get there of course, and no they don't resort to doing it at night, so let's get that old, old joke over [...]
Three words: Too many plots.
Let me explain why I think that's what did this movie in. See, movies, or all story telling for hat matter, has to have a main plot. The chief character struggling to maintain his relationship. Or having to face a formidable enemy. Or needing to keep his job and sanity together [...]
As far as I know, people either hate or love John Travolta. And I don't blame them. This is the direct result of producing a classic like Staying Alive, then dropping off the planet and getting listed in the celebrity 'whatever happened to..?' list for a decade or two. Then you come back with Pulp [...]
What's obvious to me during the watching of 'Laberinto del fauno, El' (Pan's Labyrinth), is that the performance of it's chief villain, Capitan Vidal, played magnificently by Sergi Lopez, effectively brings to life the best rendition of a movie villain I've ever seen.
To me, the bad guy is always the juiciest part in every film. [...]
