  • More Breaking Bad Love

    Breaking Bad Commentary After watching Episodes 4-6 of Season 1 of Breaking Bad I continue to be blown away by the level of quality of the show. The Lead is Not A Simple Hero To me the most interesting part of it is the continuing dimensions Vince Gilligan and Co. are able to find of…

  • What Should I See Tonight Dan? (3/6/09)

    Honestly? After seeing Watchmen tonight, maybe nothing. See my review below for an explanation.

  • Mickey Rourke’s Got Personality

    This is so ridiculous, please watch it right now. Mickey Rourke basically cusses and embrasses everyone he knows but is still extremely likeable while doing it. Should be pretty awesome if he wins the Oscar in 20 minutes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=og3tN7P6oKI

  • Watchmen Is A Go!

    Variety’s website reported today that Warner Bros. and Fox have settled. Fox is being given the equivalent of a “movie star’s gross participation” but Warner Bros. keeps its release date of March 6. For any fan of movies or graphic novels, this is a huge deal. Yippee!

  • Hustle and Flow in a Semi?

    Craig Brewer, writer-director of the magnificent Hustle and Flow as well as the less-seen but nearly equally intriguing Black Snake Moan is apparently set to do an update on Smokey and the Bandit according to Hollywoodreporter.com. His upcoming film Mother Trucker is described as an action comedy about a man who steals an 18 wheeler…

  • Like A Really Intellectual, Long Button

    Benjamin Button Review Imagine Forrest Gump by way of David Fincher, and that’s pretty much Benjamin Button. It’s not a coincidence the same screenwriter worked on both films. Eric Roth has written a lot of really intelligent, emotionally detached screenplays, such as The Insider, Ali and The Good Shepherd. His work is undeniably strong and…

  • Lady Vengeance….Vicious

    Lady Vengeance Review Park Chan Wook concluded his revenge trilogy (Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy) with Lady Vengeance. This disturbing film is more stylistically assured than Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and closer in tone to Oldboy than to Mr. Vengeance. It tells the story of Geum-Ja (played by Yeong-ae Lee), imprisoned for kidnapping and killing…

  • Park Chan Wook’s “Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance”

    Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance In my personal continuing quest to see all films by Park Chan Wook (Oldboy), I recently saw “Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance”. It’s particularly interesting to see the contrast between this film and Park’s earlier film “J.S.A. Joint Security Area”. Stylistically as a director he clearly grew a lot from “J.S.A.”. In…
