This makes me happy because it looks like they really went for it.
I read Easy Riders, Raging Bulls a couple of months back and now I’m working on filling in some of the holes in my 70′s films knowledge. The Last Detail is a sort-of road movie starring Jack Nicholson and Randy Quaid (23 in this movie, but he looks 18). It’s quiet and mumbly like a [...]
As a lifelong beer fan and neophyte homebrewer Beer Wars was an easy sell for me. It’s about the struggles of the small craft/microbrewery in the face of the brewing behemoths Anheuser Busch (now InBev) and Miller/Coors. Combine the beer angle with the “spend money with local/regional/smaller companies” path I’ve been on for a while [...]
It’s already all over everywhere, but I’m such a Scott Pilgrim fan that I want to be sure you guys see it.
I’ve got my tickets. This looks pretty damn cool.
Watched “The Taking of Pelham One Two Three” tonight on DVD because Netflix streaming was down (no Dillon Panthers for me). It’s a solid heist picture with some neat twists that were probably a lot neater in the 70′s. I was entertained by all of the analog tech. I love Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw [...]
“I Love You, Man” – I like Paul Rudd and Jason Segel a lot and they came through for me in this one. It wasn’t jam-packed with jokes like The Hangover, but there were one or two that had me hitting pause to compose myself. I am also an unapologetic Jaime Pressly fan. It’s an [...]
As an unabashed Jack White fan and a late-in-life fan of Led Zeppelin, It Might Get Loud is right in my wheelhouse. Mercy.
I bought “I Love You, Beth Cooper” last summer because of the Evan Dorkin cover. I like Evan Dorkin a lot and I figured that he wouldn’t draw a book cover for some jackass. Michelle read it first and said that it’s way more of a screenplay in prose form than a novel. Turns out [...]
I caught The Hangover a couple of weeks ago for a Father’s Day matinee. Lots of big laughs. Zack Galifinakis is really funny and Ed Helms just kills me. I’m not much of a Bradley Cooper guy but the other 2 more than made up for him. Also nice to see Heather Graham again. She’s [...]
