I know. I KNOW this is so dated, but to be fair, we recorded this in late November and it apparently took awhile to edit. Listen as I attempt to defend Potter against Twilight's main fan base; did I fail or did I succeed? This is something my school's just getting used to, so it's not the best of quality. If you do listen (for whatever reason) thank you. I also do movie reviews under the entertainment section, but I think I'm asking for too much at this point.… Continue

Sometimes, movies take place over the course of several months and one of those months is usually December. What comes in December? Come on people, this isn't rocket surgery or brain science! It's Christmas. Christmas specific scenes in movies that aren't centered around the holiday can usually do or say more about the holiday than most Christmas movies can! Other times, they're just really cool scenes that happen to take place during that holiday season. Either way, they're likely to be memorab… Continue
What's the traditional thought when one thinks of suburbia? Family? Quaint little houses? White Picket Fences? Really fucked up home lives? That's at least what Hollywood is constantly saying. Being a teenager who actually lives in a suburban neighborhood, ("No! A kid that lives the suburbs and blogs on social networking sites?! Next thing you're going to tell me is that he's white! I'm… Continue

Yes, a man who was never nominated for an Oscar despite a career spanning over thirty years is finally going to get one.
Some of you might be asking Who is Roger Corman and why should I care? Well, douchebags, Roger Corman is a famed film producer, director and writer... of cheap exploitation fli… Continue
Quentin Tarantino's war epic and the big finale to summer 2009. Being a big Quentin fan (I've either really liked or loved all his films except Death Proof, which felt mediocre), I was excited to… Continue
When I wrote this blog, people kept hounding me on the exclusion of one film. "Where's District 9?" "Why didn't you put District 9 on your list?" "Hey yo, where's District 9, mutha fucka?!" Well fellow "mutha fuckas", when I wrote that list, I hadn't seen District 9. Boy… Continue
2009 has been a decent year so far. More of the films have been mediocre, but there have been some excellent gems and horrific abominations against humanity. So, let's go with a good news-bad news scenario and start with the bad.
EDIT: I can only put movies on here I have seen. As of this edit, Funny People is the most recent movie I've seen (though District 9 looks awesome!)
Worst of 2009...So Far5. X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Two of my most anticipated films of '09 came out this Tuesday on DVD; Watchmen & Coraline. Being the film led consumer that I am, I contributed to the system by buying them. I wonder if they're any different from theater to home viewing? Let's dive into it...
Coraline: Two-Disc Collector's Edition… Continue
A hysterical short film from Jason Eisner, whom directed the independent trailer Hobo with a Gun, which (depending on the theater) you might have seen within the Tarantino/Rodriquez double feature Grindhouse. Visit the film's official site here.

So, while all the dudes will be flocking to see big robots go boom boom this week, most of their girlfriends will bring their tissue boxes for the new depressing chick flick My Sister's Keeper. For those who have seen the marketing can tell what this looks like: a heartwarming tale of a child afflicted with a fatal disease and how her family tries to live with it, becoming better people in the p… Continue
Excuse me for my lateness, but I wanted to try and see as many of the Oscar movies that were coming into town before I formulated this list. However, I still haven't seen three of the major ones; The Wrestler, Milk & Frost/Nixon. Without further delay, let's continue...
Honorable Mentions:
Hellboy II: The Golden Army: This could have made my list j… Continue

2008 was probably one of the best years of movies during my lifetime. We witnessed the rise of the superhero, the continuing success of Apatow & the return of such titans as Rourke, Jones and Downey Jr. This lead me to realize that, while making my worst of the year list, that not all of them were that bad to me. Mind you, I haven't seen what I've heard are the shittiest (Disaster Movie, Meet the Spartans, Mummy 3, 10,000 BC, Love Guru, etc.). Thus, the lower half of the list m… Continue
I just got back from seeing The Dark Knight in IMAX for the first time. I know what you're thinking "Oh, please. I saw that thing in IMAX twelve times. IN A ROW, BITCH!"; well, I managed to see it at a special screening (aren't I awesome?) at MOSI (Museum of Science & Industry) in Tampa Florida, where their IMAX screen is in the shape of a dome that surrounds 3/4 of a circular theater. It makes you f… Continue
The new film for the writer of Fight Club is coming to the big screen this Friday and I caught a screening of it tonight. So, if I may say, choke on that! Oh how frightfully witty!

I'm really sorry for that.

Yes, the latest movie starring Seth Rogen is growing nearer to release and I was lucky enough to catch a special screening of the movie. Now, fair warning, mild spoilers can be found throughout this review. So, without further bullshit filler, let's get this thing started...Now!....Wait, I'm not ready...
OK, let's do this!

During the period between Batman & Robin and Batman Begins, there was actual talk about adapting Batman...into a musical.
Here's a brief description from the offical website, http://www.freewebs.com/batman_themusical/home.htm
Jim Steinman was tapped to compose, alongside David Ives who would write the book ("the spoken parts"). The World Premiere was announced for Broadway 2001… Continue
Oh I can hear the complaints roaring in. "Oh, well you're just a goth kid who likes to shop at Hot Topic and complain about the world's pointlessness and how Marylin Manson is a the dark lord prince of truth and knowledge and blah blah Gothy McBlackclothing blah blah" and so on. Well, to those who judge me as this without even a moment's look at this article...that's slightly fair. I've seen crazy Tim Burto… Continue
