Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

By admin • May 28th, 2008 • Category: action

Okay, I really oughta update this thing more often, but I got a new job between now and the last post.  I’m back to being a pizza guy, this time at Donato’s.  So far, so good–no goddamn monkey suit.  I’m still looking for a second part-time job, though, since I’m gonna need more money than [...]



Iron Man

By admin • May 28th, 2008 • Category: action, sci-fi

So yeah, my day-to-day life sucks, still looking for a new job, blah-blah-blah.  Went fishing with my brother yesterday, and actually managed to catch a fish (which is a feat in and of itself for me)  Space Rangers was a hit, though the encore we did at Panoply was a train wreck, and I might [...]



Rambo

By admin • May 28th, 2008 • Category: action

So today I nearly had a conniption fit, because it was my day off and they called me in to work from 5 till closing (i.e. 1AM).  Naturally, I wasn’t particularly pleased about this (I think I set a record for the amount of times the word “fuck” can be used in a sentence), and [...]



Cloverfield

By admin • May 28th, 2008 • Category: Horror, sci-fi

So I just got done watching one of the most talked-about movies in months: Cloverfield.  I’ve always been a sucker for giant-monster movies, and this looked like a fresh take on a genre that’s been pretty much dead for decades, so I came in looking for a fun time.  Did it live up to the [...]



Sweeney Todd

So now that I’ve gotten all my existential-funk business out of the way for a little while, I think it’s time for another movie review.  I just got back from seeing Sweeney Todd, which most of us theater-folk have been salivating about for the last three or four months.  So, did it live up to [...]



DVD Review: Futurama- Bender’s Big Score

By admin • May 28th, 2008 • Category: Comedy

It seems these days that the best thing that can happen to a TV show is for it to get cancelled.  That way, the fanbase will go up in arms and constantly bug the network executives to bring it back in the form of a movie.  That’s how Firefly got resurrected as Serenity, one of [...]



Spider Man 3

By admin • May 28th, 2008 • Category: action

So after finally moving into my new apartment, dealing with the sheer insanity that was getting the corporate office at Little Caesar’s to give me my paycheck (two days late), and getting my first payment for Tiny Turkey, I decided to have one of those increasingly rare nights where I actually enjoyed myself.  I went [...]



Transformers (i know, better late than never)

By admin • May 28th, 2008 • Category: action, sci-fi

PLOT:
Some nerdy kid (who’d never pass for a nerd in real life since he looks exactly like the jocks who pick on him) buys a car and finds out it’s an alien robot, and that his great-grandfather’s glasses have a hidden message in them and– oh, whatthehellever.  Also, big robots fight each other in the [...]



The Bourne Ultimatum

By admin • May 28th, 2008 • Category: action

PLOT:
Jason Bourne is finally closing in on the secrets of his mysterious past and his ridiculously violent present.  All that stand between him and knowing who he really is…is the entire goddamned CIA and their assassins.
ACTING:
Matt Damon (insert tired old Team America quote here) is one of the few actors I’ve seen who can play [...]



The Simpsons Movie

By admin • May 28th, 2008 • Category: Comedy

PLOT:

Homer screws up on a scale he’s never reached before, first humilating Bart in front of the whole town, then accidentally polluting Lake Springfield to ridiculous levels, forcing the government to place Springfield under a giant dome.  Now that everyone hates him, the big guy’s got to figure out how to save his marriage, and [...]
