Fight Club (1999) – There probably nothing much that can be written about Fight Club that hasn’t already been written. For me, it was how I discovered David Fincher. (Okay I had actually seen Alien 3 already, but that’s not exactly the best barometer of what he can do… though I do actually enjoy it … Continue reading →

Les Misérables (2012) – So I’ve been getting more into musicals lately (especially as I am going to start auditioning for them) and hey, it just so happens a new one came out at the end of the year. (Worth noting: the other big-budget musical that came out this year, Rock of Ages, is one … Continue reading →

Planet of the Apes (2001) – Sigh… so one of the benefits of having the rather excellent Rise of the Planet of the Apes come out last year was that it would wipe the stain of this ill-conceived remake from our cultural memory. Not so much. It was on cable a little while back and my … Continue reading →

Dark Shadows (2012) – I’ve always found daytime soaps to be rather ridiculous. I don’t know why that’s where I draw the line, while I do enjoy the “guilty pleasure” of weekly prime time soaps on networks like the CW, but I do. (Maybe production value.)

Alice in Wonderland (2010) — Above all else this is yummy yummy eye candy (and I’m not just talking about Mia Wasikowski [rim shot]). The look of this film is fucking gorgeous in that usual twisted Tim Burton way. The other big plus is the cast. Burton’s usual stock players Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, … Continue reading →
