I FINALLY got to watch it last night on DVD, And boy, is it dark! I didn’t get a chance to explore any of the special features, so I can’t comment on them.
There were a few bad things, the first one is …that I couldn’t understand a lot of what they were saying. The DVD audio […]

OK, I don’t know how many of you enjoy either one of these series, but I really enjoy both.  Even when I was a kid, I wanted to be Robocop.  Why?  Because he didn’t waste time.  He got the job done, regardless of the cost to the private sector.
And Terminator.  Not even human, yet smart […]

I went to see the matinee of The Lion King at the Music Hall at Fair Park last Sunday.  I knew there would be a lot of kids because I had heard that it was very appealing to that audience (as far as musicals are concerned). 
You KNOW the story.  It’s straight from Disney’s The Lion King, […]

Wow!  I wasn’t expecting to be psychologically assaulted when I went to see this movie, but after about the seventh or eighth uncomfortably long close-up of Casey Affleck’s face, I began to identify with him.  Westerns have always had a way of questioning morality, by giving the hero flaws and the villains charm, but this […]

This droid always made me laugh.

A friend at work told me I need to see this movie because it is hilarious.  All he told me is that it is a documentary about a man who sets out to break the world record score in Donkey Kong.  Yes, the same Donkey Kong you grew up playing on your Atari 2600.  It’s […]

A village in Serbia has erected a giant replica of the statue seen in the Rocky movies!   Hell yeah!  Who’s to say art is only for depicting real-life stuff?  The people in this town have suffered a lot.  Fictional or not, the sources from which we draw inspiration to keep on living are worth honoring.

Sign me up!  Here is the trailer.  A western starring two of the finest actors of our time?  I can’t wait!

Nim Chimsky, Furious George, and I went to see Rescue Dawn.  Pretty much all I knew about this film is that it stars Christian Bale (who I’m developing a man-crush on).
The film is based on the true story of Dieter Dengler, an immigrant American pilot who is shot down over Laos early in the Vietnam “War.”  His […]

In anticipation of Will Smith’s upcoming I Am Legend (December 2007), I decided to NetFlix the earliest adaptation of the same Richard Matheson novel. The Last Man on Earth (1964) stars Vincent Price in the titular role as a man left alone in a world where everyone else seems to have died from a mysterious disease. I won’t regurgitate the plot here when you could easily read about it on Wikipedia or elsewhere on the internet, but I do have a few comments.
