Dan's Movie Reviews: Avatar



Well, folks, it's that time of year again: a time of peace on earth, decorated trees, mass marketing, etc. So today, I decided to go see the much-hyped Avatar in 3D as a Christmas present to myself.

The film takes place in the distant future on a planet called Pandora. In a nutshell, a parapalegic marine (Sam Worthington) has been sent to go undercover and learn abou… Continue

Dan's Movie Reviews: Invictus



Alright, folks; time once again for me to get off my ass and write a movie review for your reading pleasure. (By the way, I just watched Choke -- it's a really fucked up yet enjoyable movie. I'd give it a 4 out of 5.)

So, Invictus is basically a movie about how the South African rugby team won the World Cup with a little help from Nelson Mandela (Morgan Freeman). Man… Continue

A Few Bad Movies (2009 Edition)

Hello, folks. As a movie goer, I do the best I can to avoid a bad movie, but sometimes, one falls into a trap that is disguised as a potentially good movie. Other times, my curiosity got the best of me and I spent money on pieces of shit. Here are a few examples of such movies:


Twilight: New Moon



Sigh. What more can be said about TwilightContinue

Dan's Movie Reviews: Brothers





Instead of opening with a descriptive intro, I've decided I'm going to jump right into the review. Honestly, I found this movie, Brothers, to be very unsettling, solely because of Toby Maguire's performance. One thing about it that gives the movie its emotional resonance is the fact that it's nearly completely accurate in showing what can happe… Continue

Dan's Retro Reviews: Gimme Shelter



Wow. I guess the '60s really was a fucked-up decade.

Gimme Shelter is a rockumentary chronicling the end of the Rolling Stones' infamous '69 U.S. tour, and it is filmed from the perspective of the Stones watching the recorded footage after the all the damage was done. Although it shows an awesome concert at Madison Square Garden (featuring a short clip of Tina Turner), the movie focuses… Continue

No matter what words I use, they wouldn't even begin to describe to you how much I did NOT want to see this movie. I didn't like the first Twilight very much, although there were some good things about it, and I had zero faith in this movie after…

I have this thing I like to call "post-movie anxiety", where I would just come out of a movie and I would feel the urge to write a review, but the movie experience would cloud my thoughts and judgment. As a result, I wouldn't be able to write as d…

Please, people, stop buying souvenirs from foreign countries, because whatever it is contains something extremely evil. To prove my point, we have movies like Hellraiser. Here, a guy buys a puzzle box from Morocco after being told it will give hi…

I've got to say that it's clear we don't have the exact same taste in movies, but I'm really digging your blogs. They are actually some of the better ones around. Keep them coming, I really like how you put them together.

Thanks for the add. I've enjoyed all the music posts you've done. And reading your favorite bands, you got two of my favorites: Pink Floyd and The Grateful Dead. If you want to know some good Dead shows, let me know. I've got a bunch.

Don't see Battle Royale. The film is garbage.
Instead, read it. The book, unlike the film, has a stronger message than just blowing kids up.
