I think I hesitated to watch this [alpha] for so long because it had time-travel as a driving plot device — so many ways it could go wrong [bravo]. Maybe due to my initial hesitations, but at the very least I enjoyed the movie enough to post about it. (more…)

Friday, December 25th, 2009Why Spock May be Guilty of Genocide
Tuesday, June 9th, 2009
I finally got around to seeing the new Star Trek film. Overall, it is enjoyable, but I couldn’t figure out why Eric Bana is so pissed off all the time. Then I realized that we’ve never really heard his side of the story, only Spock’s. Let’s try to approach this as reasonably as possible from what we know from the film.

For Shizz up the Spout – Three Movies that Just Aren’t “Totally Boss”
Wednesday, May 7th, 2008It is pretty much understood that most independent films, particularly ones made by first time directors and writers, will not gather much of an audience. They may bring it around the festival circuit, or they may get a few open-minded fans, and if they’re really lucky, they can find a good distributor, sell enough tickets to keep the producers happy, and gather enough credibility to finance their next project. But every once in a while, such a independent film (usually a comedy) comes along and makes it very, VERY big. I’m talking about hundreds of millions in box office revenue and a multitude of media attention. In 2006, there was Little Miss Sunshine; before that, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, and most recently, it was Juno.

Stop Uwe Boll!
Wednesday, April 9th, 2008I’m just trying to get the word out on this online petition. The goal is 1 million names, a number is set by Uwe Boll himself. There are 140800 signatures so far, but considering that it went up from 101591 in about… 26 hours, I’d say that’s pretty good. Spread the news.

For the Sake of Humanity

Here’s how it ends – they were killed by Shayamalan’s giant ego.
Now that you know, there’ll be no reason to see it. I just saved 2 hours of your life. You should thank me.
