Movie Review: Teeth (2007)

Seriously, the world needed a horror flick about Vagina Dentata.  Teeth is that movie. I’ve mentioned Vagina Dentata before and it should come as no surprise that I found this movie to be a gold-mine of vagina-related jokes.  Truly, the world has been waiting for a movie about a cooter with the disposition of a [...]

Straw Dogs

Straw Dogs is probably one of my favorite flicks, ever. It peels away the layers of human weakness in all sorts of fucked up ways. The film does move a bit slowly, but is worth the wait (kinda like Caché, but less so). I’m not quite in the mood to b-b-break it down, so I [...]

Movie Review: Star Trek

The clip sums it up. I am a die-hard Star-Trek fan. That being said, I actually thought TNG improved after Roddenberry died. Science fiction television doesn’t always have to be allegorical, okay? There doesn’t always need to be a lesson. Sometimes, it can just be about the oohs and the ahhs. And that made-up Klingon [...]

Movie Review: Observe and Report

Yes, I realize my posting has crawled to almost nothing. I’ve been super busy. Deal. I saw Observe and Report because my friends thought it looked funny. And it was, kinda. In a sad way. I just kept thinking about the Mall Ninja. And how terribly un-funny such a situation is. Not to mention the [...]

Movie Review: Liquid Sky (1982)

This movie is pretty much the 1980′s most insane cyberpunk flick ever. It combines rampant drug use, sexual deviancy, and UFOs in an Antonin Artaud inspired surrealistic voyage. There is a plethora of psychedelia and futuristic pseudo-beat dialogue. The plot is bizarre and sublime. Really, it’s one of the understated psychedelic films of all-time. “We’re [...]

Movie Review: The Watchmen

Here’s Peter Suderman’s take on it. Personally, I found it extremely aesthetically pleasing. The philosophical debates in it are crucial and powerful; the characters make damn good arguments and they all represent a different outlook on morality. The two that struck me as most well thought-out were Mr. Manhattan’s and Rorschach’s objectivism. The film as [...]

Three quick reviews

The Roots – Rising Down – I cannot express just how awesome The Roots are, and this is a great hip-hop album. It’s in my car at the moment and I have had it on regular rotation along with some indie bands I have seen recently, bringing me to… This Machine is Me – Mix [...]

Movie Review: Fire In The Sky

Fire in the Sky is one of those UFO abduction classics, and it has DB Sweeney and that guy from Terminator 2 made out of liquid metal. And a badass title. And that’s about where it ends.The whole dude-got-taken-by-aliens-but-they-think-we-killed-him sequence plays out about as well as you’d imagine it would. There is a lot of [...]

Movie Review: The Mutant Chronicles (2008)

It’s got a title, alright. It is more than an hour long and it has Thomas Jane in it. And it’s apparently about mutants, or something, I guess from the title. How bad can it be? I took two tylenol pm’s and watched it. I don’t know if that affected the review or not. Pretty [...]
