I just thought of a cartoon series concept for the Spill.com crew.
Like, the first episode would open with Leon's origin, and he'll be the black son of Adam and Eve, born amidst dinosaurs, then a quick battle in his teens, wielding a sword, battling a wizard, then a cut to his arrival at Ellis Island, very Cassidy via
Preacher...
After a few more origin scenes for the other guys, we've got Korey approaching each future Spill.com member like Agent Graves...
In future episodes, there'd…

SPOILER ALERT:
The Machinist is a bad knock-off of
Fight Club and
American Psycho, and I'm not just saying that because Christian Bale is in it. What's great about the multiple personality "slash" psycho scenario is that when it's done well, it'll blow peoples' minds. There's no solid plot to go along with the movie, so all it is is a guessing game as to when to expect the next twist, which is really cool, when you have a fucking plot. I found myself getting really bored wit…

This one is difficult for me to pin. The first third is noir, with well paced dialogue, slow (as shit) scenes, jazz music, and predictable moments. At least there wasn't a shitty narration. I do love the music of the first act. I became sick to hear it give way to the orchestra instrumentals.
The second third is a murder plot, a little more interesting, actually humorous in some instances, and introducing stylized screenshots that made artful (and incredibly impossible) use of reflections.
The l…

I have seen these already, and I'd like to comment on what they all have in common before getting into specific ups and downs.
Beautiful cinematography, of course, with practical use of the quality of the footage. Instead of obscured shapes in natural shadows due to the inability to rely on color, Hitchcock makes use of the audience's knowledge of real-life settings to shape an environment around the characters so that their actions and props aren't lost, but focused upon with subtle placements…

I expect this to be funny. I expect to laugh. Will I have these things? Eighties comedies are things to be wary of. They have distorted the minds of practical men, and I do not envy their tastes. When a friend tells me that an eighties comedy is good, what else can I do but find out for myself?

So, Russell's playing an idiot. It's nice to see, after witnessing his father-figure image in a shitty movie and his utterly boring character in Death Proof.
I don't think I'll ever get over period…

I was very curious to see what the guys on Spill were talking about when they mentioned Blackbook during their Resistance review, so I started doing some searching.

Goddamn it. I know that shit like this happened all the time, and I should've expected this, but I didn't. And I feel a serious loss for the characters. Great characters. Great direction. I attatched myself immediately to the story, and I felt a certain amount of despair to see them die.

This looks very much like an A&a…

Here is an example of the distributive property of algebra.
bluesy intsrumentals = awesome
Monkeybacon = bluesy intsrumentals
Therefor, Monkeybacon is an awesome collection of bluesy instrumentals.
A little more accurately: bluesy instrumentals consisting of wonderful mixes of guitars and synth-sounds.
My recent ventures into modern techo-rock, trance, ambiance, and electro-jazz have lead me to this amazing site.

A friend requested that I write about a few movies.
I'll get to work on the others once I've seen them.
The Graduate:
Strangely enough, I couldn't stand the main character. A pushover. A numbnut grad. Someone who thought nothing of any of the work that he'd obviously never questioned the necessity of doing, and had absolutely NO IDEA what to do with the earnings. He is the caricature of the zombie members of the babyboomer generation. Jukeboxes, Cadillacs, Bond movies and Star Wars... he is th…

The first time I'd ever heard of this movie, it was referenced in a comment posted on my Vicky Christina Barcelona review. I'm limited in my exposure to Tom Cruise, which makes me incredibly disappointed to hear some of my best friends say that Tom is the worst actor to ever live. His performance in Rain Man was decent, and I absolutely love Eyes Wide Shut, so I hadn't a clue what to expect of Vanilla Sky. Nor did I have any expectations for Penelope Cruz.

So far, Penelope is beautiful as…

Based on a true story, the movie is about a former military officer investigating his son's murder immediately after returning from Iraq. Had I not known that the movie was written to closely resemble actual events, I don't think that I could have tolerated the characters' single dimensions, the lack of mystery-suspence, nor could I have sat through what could be misconstrued as biggotry directed to hispanics and women.
Susan Surandon played an obedient housewife whose say was obviously not on a…

I started writing this 36 minutes and 27 seconds into the movie, expecting to see everything I love about Woody Allen's movies: realistic human conflict, stylized criticismof how outrageous human interaction is, a nearly-impossible -to-believe love story, and the confirmed relief to know that I am capable of being just as paranoid and depraved as an aging writer/director that I am now. Imagine my surprise to see the oh-so-familiar opening credit sequence without my beloved Jew sitting atop the c…

Beautiful boys Mark Webber and Jamie Bell live in a tiny town in the west, determined not to work and die in the mines. They work with their friends to pass the time and mature together with a dangerous and perhaps illegal hobby. Sounds like OCTOBER SKY, right?
The perspective of a small-town-boy is reflective of his environment. Having grown up in a place made up of two roads, this band of insecure teenage simpletons seek refuge from the big, scary world of tumbleweeds and black lung undergrou…

The Rise of Leslie Vernon is an end-all film for me. No other slashfilm can be quite so intelligent, so shocking, nor entertaining.
A realistic take on cursekillers and their methods, this film opened perspectives that I may never have imagined considering to think about. Vernon’s traps, and staged scenarios aren’t inventive or original, but the way his character logically describes the cursekilling methods and even gives nicknames to certain stereotypes often found in horror films (the most pop…

My first reaction after seeing the film was that its rudimentary use of film-within-filmstyle and shockumentary techniques allowed for the iconic images and sequences that people still vomit over today to be strung together with the excused of a plot and possibility of political statement.
The “introduction” of relating the cruelty of civilized man’s behavior with the most barbaric people was something that I did not intend to see from an anticipated gorefest, but was something of an excuse to…

I came across this movie site without knowing anything about ANY movies being released in 2009, excluding an obvious title.

"Final Destination" meets "Pi"?
I don't really care if Cage is going through a bit of a "rut", the premise has me as hooked as a dead cow in a slaughter house.
