This is longer than 10 seconds. I have to tread carefully because I don’t want to give anything away. That said, my 10 second review is this: That was the most rotten piece of bullshit I have ever seen in my life! I want my money back, you sanctimonious asshole!! For a more uplifting and [...]
This isn’t a 10 Second Review… I don’t really feel like doing one about it. This is just me bitching about one thing that drove me crazy throughout the entire movie: It’s pronounced BeoVulf!!!!! With a V!!!!! ACKKKK!!!!! Don’t you know that he’s a Geat!?!! And that Geats are from SWEDEN!?!?! OK, there – it’s [...]
Good Luck Chuck: I laughed, but there were a bunch of times where the jokes just fell flat. I enjoyed myself, but I don’t think I want it in my DVD collection (which is a sign of how much I didn’t love it). Finally, though, I don’t regret seeing it in the theater, but I [...]
#45: The Story of the Weeping Camel – There’s not a lot of action in this, but the movie itself is a fascinating look at the rural Mongolian culture. TPO and I were completely enamoured by the family of camel/sheep herders. It’s not really for a wide audience, but we both liked it a lot. [...]
The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides: I saw the movie years ago and was always curious as to what the book would hold. I don’t know if seeing the movie first helped or hindered my enjoyment of this book, though, because far too often, I was trying to picture the scene in the movie rather [...]
The Brave One: Though the establishing “perfect life” portion of the movie bordered a bit on the “sickeningly sweet” side, the movie quickly got into the action and the main meat of the story. I liked that every move the character made was a logical progression… that she wasn’t automatically this Super Vigilante who was [...]
There’s a (Slight) Chance I Might Be Going to Hell: A Novel of Sewer Pipes, Pageant Queens, and Big Trouble – By Laurie Notaro: I admit I’m a fan-girl. I can’t help it – it’s just the way I am. One of the people I happen to be totally fan-girlled about is Laurie Notaro. Most [...]
#42: Death At a Funeral – Hilarious… absolutely hilarious. Even if you’re not a big fan of British humor (humour?). #43: Superbad – Not for the super-sensitive… it’s course, it’s raunchy, and it’s going to be put in my movie collection the second it’s out on DVD. I definitely have to see it again to [...]
The Bourne Ultimatum: Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…. Matt Damon. Mmmmmmmmmmm. Seriously, though, it was well worth the watch if you like action. Whether you’re obsessed with Matt Damon (as I am) or not. To give proof of the fact that my love of Damon is not clouding my opinion of the movie I offer this evidence: TPO is [...]
I should have done these days ago – my bad: #38 – The Simpsons Movie: Funny, but not the end-all-be-all movie of the year that people may have led you to believe. Don’t beat yourself up if you save this for your netflix list. It’s really just a glorified episode that wouldn’t really lose anything [...]
