Quantum of Solace

By thejerk • Nov 28th, 2008 • Category: action

Hey there, everypeoples! After a few long months of movielessness (there was really nothing I was just chomping at the bit to see, and I couldn’t really justify plunking down 9 bucks for movies that I knew were going to suck), I finally got around to hitting the theaters in time for the much-anticiptated [...]



The Dark Knight

By thejerk • Jul 20th, 2008 • Category: Uncategorized, action

Ever since Gary Oldman turned over that poker card at the end of Batman Begins, I’ve been waiting with giddy anticipation to see the follow-up.  Well, it’s finally here, and on Thursday night, I’d gotten myself tickets to the midnight screening.  Since the pizza joint where I work doesn’t close til 11, I would be [...]



Hellboy II: The Golden Army

By thejerk • Jul 13th, 2008 • Category: Comedy, Horror, action

So it’s been a few weeks since my last review, and I’ve fallen a bit behind in the summer movie season.  I still have yet to see The Hulk or Hancock, or a good number of far less interesting movies.  However, I did get around to catching Guillermo Del Toro’s return to the superhero genre, Hellboy [...]



Get Smart

By thejerk • Jun 21st, 2008 • Category: Comedy, action

I had a rather interesting day yesterday, one that involved me being the only driver during the busiest shift of the week, getting hit with a rock that flew at me seemingly from nowhere, and unexpectedly helping a friend move into his new house. Afterwards, the gang and I decided on a movie, with two [...]



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

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 [...]



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 [...]
