Matt, Jack & Jon are three eloquent young gents. They philosophize, externalize, and harmonize on the most pressing subjects of the modern age. Actually, they mostly just talk about movies and current events, but the presentation is what counts.

This is the debut production of JackandZack Films. It's a comedy about a legendary cult-film director, Jack Gattanella, who is making his latest film "Crest of Senses", and taking his two stars Zack and Hayley down into the depths of madness.
Now in its 71st year, Batman has captivated and wowed audiences of all ages. Simple as that, it's one of the great comics, maybe the most compelling of heroes, and Christopher Nolan's film is another excellent piece of the legacy.
Here's to it!
Losers is a new comedy/sci-fi web-series! It's about two guys, Zack and Przemek, and their adventures leading up to a trip to NY Comic-Con! Comic-Con NOW Online... part 1... www.youtube.com/AreYo

I love Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper and Arizona Diet Green Tea, my lovely hug-muffin wife, your old-school Nintendo like Super Mario 3, swimming till I kill sharks, and ping pong - and movies like the ones listed below or by directors below. Check out some other reviews of mine at www.film-forward.com, cool indie site out of NYC.
"No cellphone use. No texting during the movie. No talking out loud. No sucking up the last Coke out of the Kidney-Buster. It is permitted to laugh, or to scream when a movie scares the crap out of you. It's okay to join in the general chuckle after the It's only a cat! moment is over. There was a special by-law forgiving Pauline Kael for saying "Oh! Oh! Oh!" in astonishment. It is acceptable, but rarely, to join in a general audience uproar, as at the first Cannes press screening of "The Brown Bunny." Even then, no cupping your hand under your armpit and producing fart noises."- Roger Ebert
"Someday, we'll all have hats."- George Carlin
"Somewhere in the bowels of Los Angeles, there's an underground facility. The gaping maw of this factory is fed tons of living tissue imported in rickety boxes from all across the world. Pipes hiss and panels glow as fresh ideas are chewed up, reconstituted, and shat back out. They're polished and prettied with cheap makeup, making sure each one is not too unlike the one before it. After being shrink-wrapped and oxygen starved, a team of ghouls sings sweet songs about them and grins with their preternaturally gleaming teeth, cooing at us to buy these shiny droppings. Welcome to Hollywood."- LEOG's Jason

- Why thank you very much!
Always great to find other SF & Fantasy lovers out there.
And yes, conservatards do suck. And not even in that "I don't get it but I understand why you do" kind of suckage.
Rightism truly is the last vestage of barbarism in our otherwise civilized species isn't it?

MDS said… - I admit, the blog was highly cynical. But the sad truth is, so much of it was true.
Summit Entertainment IS facing troubles outside of the Twilight series. Like Astroboy's production problems and other failures at the box-office lately. The new director after the first one's "Fight" about control of the material? Replacing an actress for the next movie because one of the original actors are going to be "too busy" working on another movie during the shooting schedule? Which is odd, because the shooting schedule from one film to the next is so short, that it's almost impossible for the current cast NOT to get involved in another movie? Oh, and the numerous "Be an extra" type contests?
I know that it's popular because young girls don't have anything but this particular series for them to have all their own. But really, if Harry Potter's move from last Nov to this Summer hadn't have happened, Twilight would have been stomped on HARD last year.

- I HAVE seen it, and I must say that it's the first trailer for a Romero film that hasn't made me SUPER excited.
BUT, on a plus side, it's been getting nothing but rave reviews so far, so perhaps its better than it seems?

A Christmas Carol that FLIES + Jim Carrey!
I wonder if Robert Zemeckis weren't a filmmaker if he would have become a pilot. Look at his films and you may find a recurring shot in them, if not all then at least a good lot of them: a shot up in the sky, flying around and bringing the audience along (i.e. the feather in Forrest Gump, the pull-back through the valley and mountains in Beowulf, Back to the Future with the… Continue

The Fourth Kind, or: The Owls Are Not What They Seem...
I didn't believe for a moment that the "actual footage" in the movie The Fourth Kind was actually actual footage. Surely one would have heard of stories of a relatively unknown filmmaker named Olatunde Osunsanmi crafting a docu-drama out of footage from actual alien abductee interviews from some years ago. It should be no surprise that it is just a gimmick to make the story of UFO abduction more credible, which is all well and good. Indeed this wasn't even really the problem in and of itself I h… Continue

A post-festival-pre-release review of THE ROAD
"I will kill anyone who touches you. Because that's my job."
The wonderful thing about the Road is that it will more than likely please the two camps: the one that has not read Cormac McCarthy's Pulitzer prize-winning book, and the one that has. There's the nervous feeling one g… Continue

REVIEW: Fires on the Plain (1959)
Director Kon Ichikawa had lived through world war two, and saw what its effects it had on his people in Japan. But so did novelist Shohei Ooka, whose book was the inspiration for Ichikawa's film,… Continue

Spike Jonze's Where the Wild Things Are, or a child's kingdom
It's taken Spike Jonze a while to write, film, edit and (after some wrestling with Warner brothers over the final cut) release his adaptation of Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are. One who greatly admires filmmakers will wait especially for a filmmaker who takes his time in creating something after years of wait. Now, the filmmaker who first came on the scene with Being John Malkovich, once again gives me a one-word response with this third film of his: Wow. Hot damn. That's two more. Th… Continue

For me, I love the visuals and the great acting by Jackie Earl Haley, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and Patrick Wilson. There are other reasons, but these are the ones that stick out the most for me.
