  • Movie: Citizen Kane

    I haven’t seen such a thought provoking movie in quite a while. Sure, there have been a lot of movies that have induced thought, but not about them, but instead the world or life or something. With this movie, I’m actually thinking about the movie, and every time I do I realize something new. Pretty cool stuff. While it is certainly not the best…

  • Movie: Four Brothers

    So much hooplah around this one when it came out, but I’m not sure why. Marky Mark + Andre 3000 + Tyrese + Don Billingsley does not equal a great movie. In fact, it rarely (if ever) will. The guys do alright, but the plot is a mess (too many poorly done twists) and when I look back at it it doesn’t make all…

  • Movie: From Dusk Til Dawn

    I was pretty excited to see this one because it was one of the few Tarantino films I had not seen. Unfortunately, I was severely let down. The movie attempts to be a comical horror much like Army of Darkness, but simply doesn’t add anything new to the genre. This is all about vampires, which have been done a million times. Slight let down.…

  • Movie: Team America – World Police

    I really should have seen this long ago since I love South Park and I love joking about current events. On the surface this movie looks to be just slapstick humor, it does a mediocre job of building a caricature of the American view towards the world; which is absolutely hilarious. The movie also sports one the best sex scenes in recent memory. Factor…

  • Movie: Cinderella Man

    Boxing flick about a man’s rise from the bottom during the Great Depression to great things. I love me some true stories where the underdog comes out on top… Good stuff. I do have to question the depiction of of Max Baer, though. There is no way he could be as popular as he was given the attitude they showed in this movie. Heck,…

  • Movie: True Romance

    This entire movie felt as if it were forced. Quentin came up with an ending and then forced a story to fit it. I’m not quite sure what the motivation was for this story, but it is so similar to Pulp Fiction it wasn’t even worth putting in to film; it didn’t work nearly as well. Certainly not a bad movie, but compared to…
