My obsessive coverage of Teen Wolf continues.
. . . do you think I could list ‘TV Marathon Champion’ as some kind of marketable skill on a resume?
Ohmygod Make The Music Stop Swelling
“I Got Poetry In Me!”
Film critics all around the world love McCabe & Mrs. Miller. The late Roger Ebert went so far as to call the movie “perfect”. In fact, this movie has not only been selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry, it also sits easy at #8 on AFI’s Top Ten Best Westerns.
It is, naturally, my least favorite western to-date.
“I’m Your Huckleberry.”
Oh, this movie.
I watched Wyatt Earp a few years ago — I don’t even remember why — and I read Emma Bull’s Territory last year, so I figured I might as well add Tombstone to the list of westerns-to-watch this year. You know, really round out my various versions of the OK Corral and the Vendetta Ride.
Yeah. Not the best idea I’ve ever had.
“While You Were Still Learning How to Spell Your Name, I Was Being Trained to Conquer Galaxies!”
All right, folks. The Day of Reckoning has come.
Some of you may remember that I failed last year’s horror film challenge and, as a result, invited you to choose my punishment movie. You chose Battlefield Earth because you’re horrible monsters, all of you.
Now that I’ve finally seen this movie, I feel qualified to say that nobody deserves this film inflicted upon them. No one.
“Now, Somehow Our Sins Have Come Back Physically . . . And They’re Pissed.”
Before Joel Schumacher tried his best to kill the Batman franchise, he actually directed other movies as well. For instance . . .
I like this one a lot — it has a certain nostalgia factor going for it, plus pre-24 Kiefer Sutherland. Still, there are some moments that can be gently mocked. Or not so gently, I suppose.
“Look, Dave, I Can See You’re Really Upset About This.”
Well. I finally did it. I watched 2001: A Space Odyssey.
. . . I think I want two and half hours of my life back.
“I Was Never Very Good At Being Human”
This year, I’ve been doing epic reviews (i.e, ultra ridiculously long reviews, complete with summaries, random notes, and spoilers) on every new horror film that I’ve watched. However, tonight, I’m feeling lazy, and I’m skimping out a little. Therefore, you get a slightly-less-epic review (i.e, ridiculously long review made up entirely of random notes) on vampire flick Daybreak.
Overall, despite some cheese and a few musical score problems, I kind of liked it.
