I went to see a midnight session of Cloverfield last night, and I guess it was as I expected. It’s campaign was basically viral marketing, and had no title, simply the date 01-18-08. J.J Abrahams was behind Alias (great) and LOST (couldn’t get into it). I had a feeling this movie was going to have too much of that LOST feel to it. Anyways, It’s a little hard to write about without spoiling things, but I’ll give it a go. Continue Reading…

Musicals are about as high on my fun radar as books, but Jon convinced me this one would be worth seeing.
Think Adult Sesamea Street meets RENT. Completely politically incorrect. And Very funny.
The cast of 7 has a male and female lead who perform most of the puppets voices, and use facial expressions and actions to match the puppet they are controlling. The main set stays on the whole show, but is reworked for various scenes and reveals a few hidden secrets. There’s also an introduction and bits presented as 2D animation on flat screens that lower from the roof.
The characters are intentionally stereotypical: a black guy aka “Gary Coleman”, a closet gay guy, a ball-breaking “Oriental” wife, and a struggling Jewish Comedian.
There are non-musical bits, but of course its all about the songs, and with jingles such as “It sucks to be me“, “Everyone’s a little bit racist“, and “The internet is for Porn“, you won’t be disappointed. These also give you an idea of the the direction of this show.
This is a pretty crap trailer and doesn’t do it justice, but you can get the idea at least.
I may be biased, because, as Phil said, It’s My kinda movie, but 300 Kicks Ass.
Then again why would I watch a movie that isn’t my kinda movie.. Continue Reading…
I started writing this like a “real” review. But what the hell is the point of that? Most of critics are dickheads and really there is no such thing as a good critic, you simply need a critic with a similar opinion of yours. Well here’s mine. Movies first and foremost are about entertainment and interest. If its a comedy it should make you laugh. If Im rolling on the floor I dont care if the actor is shit and there is no story, its a comdey… Drama should have good storylines and great acting. Martial Arts movies should have incredible fight scenes and choreography - Ong-Bak2 is some crap about smuggling Elephants into Australia, but that 5min single-edit scene is fricking awesome. Call me simple, I dont care. Of course I will bitch about Special FX.. Cause its my Job.. I’m allowed. Im also going to assume you’ve seen the movie, so it may include spoilers, and I won’t explain the plot. Why even read? I dunno.. Just my opinion of a movie
