Watchmen

By now you’ve probably read countless reviews of Watchmen, and if you’re anything approaching a fan, you’ve either seen it already, or firmly tried to ignore it out of existence. Whichever Path of the Crazed Fanboy you’ve chosen,  I bet you’re wondering what this particular review will do for you. Will it be so full [...]

Film Quickie: “Dead Snow”

Huh? “Dead Snow”, you say? That’s sounds pretty lame, right? Well, yeah, I guess it does, but then it’s supposed to sound a bit lame, and just the tinsy, tiniest bit awesome. I’ve watched this Norwegian Nazi-zombie-horror-splatter-comedy two times now, and man, let me tell you something: It’s hilarious. Downright gut-wrenchingly hilarious, even, and since [...]

Slumdog Millionaire

What this is: “Slumdog Millionaire” is a movie, and not just any movie at that. It’s the one that – along with “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” – is in the lead to take home the award for Best Film at the Oscars. Now, I know what you’re all thinking; we haven’t gotten the [...]

Quantum of Solace

There are very few things so iconic that they don’t simply belong inside its respective medium, but become a defining staple of it. In the wordy world of culture, I’d have to go with things like the Iliad, the Bible or the Koran; all three massive works with influences stretching across nearly everything that’s come [...]

Spider-Man 3

I’ve slowly and steadily been building up a relationship with the Marvel universe over the last year. Not only have I been reading up on some of the newer Marvel titles and checking out some of the bigger Event books like “Civil War”, but I’ve also dipped my beak into the cookie jars of some [...]

2001: A Space Od(d)yssey

Yes, I know. If my title puns get any better now I might as well throw in the towel and proclaim myself a blogging divinity. But until that time comes (and it will!), I’ll try to put down some words on this old science fiction classic of a movie. Please note the stress, people. I’ll [...]

Tropic Thunder

The fact that I went to the theatres to watch this movie should actually be quite astounding. Why, you ask? Well, not so much because it stars Ben Stiller (who is easily negated by the omnipotent actor-genius Robert Downey Jr.). And not so much because it’s directed by Ben Stiller (which is more than forgiveable [...]

Hellboy 2: The Golden Army

Those of you who either have a startlingly detailed memory or spend a little too much time obessing over my reviews will remember the hugely entertaining little thing I wrote about the original movie. In many ways I think it was one of my better posts, because it was both easy and fun to read, [...]

The Incredible Hulk

So I watched this movie about a giant green man with anger management issues, and I thought I should post some thoughts on it. It is, after all, the only fair thing to do. One can’t go around reviewing movies about a man who dresses up like a bat and a guy who takes the idea [...]

(It’s Not What I) Wanted

This really has been the summer of superheroes. It all started with the shiny awesomeness that was “Iron Man” before we quickly continued onwards with the second take on “The Incredible Hulk”, which I’ve sadly not had the chance to watch yet. Then I sat and twiddled my thumbs patiently while I waited for “The [...]
