Philly


There’s a show on FX called “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.”
I think it’s brilliant.  It’s about a group of four friends who own & run an Irish pub called Paddy’s.  Danny DeVito is the father of the twins (guy & girl main characters) so he pops up in just about every episode.  It’s kind of […]

Massive Guy Dispatched by Achilles in "Troy"


His name is Nathan Jones and he joins us from the land down under.  Just in case you were wondering who the massive human being was that got stabbed in the trapezius by Brad Pitt in the first scene of the movie.  Bilbo might be familiar with his ‘rasslin’ exploits.

The Three Burials of Melquilades Estrada


We just recently signed up for Blockbuster Online (a life altering decision), and we get one in-store rental every week.  This week we picked up The Three Burials of Melquilades Estrada.  This is an uncomfortable movie to say the least, really good in parts, and definitely worth a watch.  Tommy Lee Jones and Robert Duvall — put either […]

Factotum


See the official site here.
This movie should be a great primer to Bukowski’s “cannon” for you guys that haven’t read him.  It looks like it’s going to be great.  I love the tag line…
factotum: n. A man who never had a job he liked; and never kept a job he had.
Now, if only I can […]

Snakes on a Plane


A movie so bad that it had a cult following before there was even a trailer out.

I’m not for sure if I’m in or out on this one.  Don’t get me wrong, I WILL see it at some point, but is it worth my hard-earned $8.50?  I’m thinking not….

Underdog (live action)


I don’t know if everyone remembers Underdog, but they’re making a live-action movie starring Jason Lee as the voice of Shoeshine Boy/Underdog.  I didn’t realize the original series ran for 10 seasons!

Hayao Miyazaki


One of my favorite directors/filmmakers.  I’ve espoused his greatness on here before, but I thought he deserved his own thread.  When you watch his films, you see what animation is capable of when it is approached in a serious manner and when it takes into consideration difficult topics.  These blurbs from the Wikipedia page about […]
