The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) – Well, it was fifty years ago that Stan Lee and Steve Ditko brought Spider-Man into the world. It was ten years ago that Sam Raimi brought the character to the big screen. It’s only been five years since Spider-Man 3 stank up cinemas and some say that’s far too soon … Continue reading →

Spider-Man 3 (2007) – Sigh… I said I was going to revisit the Sam Raimi Spider-Man films… and unfortunately that means watching this one again. I can’t believe I even own it (it came with my Playstation 3). Completist that I am however I just had to hold onto it and watch it during my … Continue reading →

Spider-Man 2 (2004) – There is no more ridiculous blanket statement that permeates the world of film snobbery than “sequels suck.” If you say that, you don’t know what the fuck you are talking about. Yeah, many series have a case of diminishing returns as they go on and on, but there are sequels that … Continue reading →

Spider-Man (2002) – Okay, let me start by saying that fuckin’ hate fuckin’ spiders. They terrify the fuck out of me. Also I curse even more than I already fuckin’ do (which is a lot) when talking about the evil little fuckers. That being said, I’ve always liked Spider-Man. Go figure. It probably has a … Continue reading →

The Cabin in the Woods (2012) – Why do we like horror movies? [By “we” I mean those of us who like horror movies. The rest of you highbrow jerks and scaredy-cats go read some other movie review.] Anyway to repeat the question, why do we like horror movies? My short answer: they’re fucking fun. … Continue reading →

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 (2011) – So I’ve had a mixed reaction to the Harry Potter series as a whole. I liked the first four films (especially Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire) but after that they felt a little… I don’t know, off. They were going for a sort … Continue reading →

Saturday Night Live – “Alec Baldwin/Radiohead” Oh Saturday Night Live… SNL is a show I will always defend. People say it’s not as funny as it used to be… and that’s true but it’s still funny enough often enough. I know that doesn’t sound like a ringing endorsement but I think they often have great … Continue reading →

Salt (2010) — So someone wants to kill the Russian president and start a war between Russia and America and though it’s not officially revealed until closer to the end of the film, I officially called it about 10 minutes in (and kind of had an inkling from the trailers). The movie tries for a … Continue reading →

Planet Terror (2007) — I fucking love this movie because it just goes for broke on awesomeness. It may not actually scare anyone (although it has a spider and spiders freak me right the fuck out) but it does entertain from beginning to end. I still lament that the full theatrical Grindhouse experience is not … Continue reading →

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) — This is actually my least favorite of the three films and it incidentally went on to win the Academy Award for Best Picture and Best Director (and several others). But despite my problems with it (which are few) it still remains, as with … Continue reading →
