The Guilt Trip (2012) – So it’s Christmas Day, as some of you may have noticed. My family goes to the movies pretty much every Christmas. A lot of families do, I know. Anyway the studios know this so a bunch of big movies open on Christmas Day. This year there’s Quentin Tarantino’s new slavery-era … Continue reading →

Take Me Home Tonight (2011) – This article was originally published on 12ftdwende.com on 4 March 2011. I frequently see commercials, or rather public service announcements, preaching the importance of the first five years of a child’s life. Apparently they are the most influential in a human being’s development. Well, the first five years of … Continue reading →

Well, the Oscars are coming up in a couple days. I’ll get my picks and predictions and whatnot posted Sunday morning and then try to do some sort of real-time reaction thing like I tried doing with the Emmys a while back… In the meantime I figured I’d chime in with what I actually thought … Continue reading →

50/50 (2011) – This is one of the best movies I’ve seen all year. You know that old cliché of “You’ll laugh, you’ll cry?” Well this movie actually probably can make you do both. Somewhat loosely based on the experiences of screenwriter Will Reiser 50/50 is the story of Adam (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a young writer … 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 →

The Green Hornet (2011) — First off, post-conversion 3D has gotten a bad name based on the shitty job done on movies like Clash of the Titans and The Last Airbender. The Green Hornet took its time with the 3D post-conversion so it DOESN’T look like murky shit. I don’t really think the 3D added … Continue reading →

Observe and Report (2009) — At a certain point in this movie Ben Best says “I thought this would be kind of funny, but actually it’s kind of sad.” I’m sure that will be a lot of people’s reaction to this movie. But not mine. I fucking loved this movie. It’s just so wrong that … Continue reading →
