I’m not going to go into much detail, but I don’t know whether I should disown my cousin for revealing too much of the movie one day before seeing it or hug and kiss him for setting the anti-hype wheels in motion and making the movie-watching experience a pleasant one. Yes, I said it… Hug [...]
Let me clear things out from the very beginning by saying that just because I took the time to see Juno, it doesn’t mean I’m a douche. In fact, you’re a douche for thinking so… Sorry, but to put it in simple words, Juno is a movie full of heart and soul, wrapped in the [...]
I have pretty much seen all of Judd Apatow’s toilet comedies as they progress from extreme to holy shit. It all started with the “The 40-Year-Old Virgin” (which, idiotically, I thought was a drama when I first laid eyes on the poster) and ended with “Superbad”, about two high-school kids’ naturalized journey into the world [...]
Sometimes movies’ plots can seem a little bit too convenient. Take for a example a hormone-frenzied Jewish boy in the decadent streets of France, who is bent on getting deflowered by cheap yet cute-looking hookers. He then hits rock bottom as his family crumbles into separation and poorness, until he meets a goodhearted, wise Muslim [...]
Two words pretty much sum up this movie: Holy sh*t. I went in that theater half-forgetting what the first two in the series were about. I spent half the time during the previews recollecting the memories and the other half regretting not doing a 4-hour Bourne marathon on the day before… it doesn’t matter though…
The movie for which testosterone-dripping males from around the world were anxiously waiting for and drooling at is finally unleashed. Even the 300 trailers left countless unsatisfied wives and girlfriends lying in their cold beds waiting for a radiance of warm touch. Men were absent then and will still be for several more weeks. Let’s [...]
I was talking to my cousin about this movie so I would like to quote myself and say: “I thought the first one [28 Days Later] made me numb and desensitized, but no. I cried like a schoolgirl with pigtails… who had her lunch box stolen… and got raped on the way home… I think [...]
Something about British humor makes it very attractive. It is probably the combination of subtlety and effectiveness going hand-in-hand which makes people like me go watch their movies, especially the comedies. Maybe it’s the accent. A Brit can sound like a Carlin-Einstein hybrid when he or she is really talking about something excruciating like the [...]
Here is a public service: Do not think about eating before, during or even after seeing Grindhouse. We will discuss the why later, but let’s get back on track. “Grindhouse” is an American term which refers to the theater that plays B-grade exploitation films non-stop… A common characteristic of grindhouse films is the fact that [...]
When a film successfully draws a bleak picture of the future using a simple concept coupled with carefully crafted photography, you know you are in for an unusual treat. Indirectly and slightly resembling the visuals of the futuristic apocalypse of the Half-Life universe and inspired by Hitchcockian masterful filmmaking, Children of Men is sure to [...]
