The Wire (2002-2008) – Okay, so I’ve tried to do this TV Blog a couple times… When I started up the blog I was writing about every episode of most shows I watched. It was a pain in the ass and was sapping the enjoyment I get out of television. I decided to abandon it … 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 →

Slasher flicks thrived in the 1980s but a couple years into the 1990s the horror genre was in a noticeable decline. A screenwriter named Kevin Williamson decided that he wanted the final word on the slasher subgenre. He wrote a screenplay that was simultaneously a parody of and loving tribute to classic flicks like Halloween … Continue reading →

The Help (2011) – Film trailers are problematic. Sometimes they seriously undersell a movie. I thought Fight Club looked asinine but it was amazing. Sometimes the trailers are put together better than the movie itself. Look up the trailer for the bizarre clusterfuck Southland Tales and tell me it doesn’t look awesome? Sometimes the trailer tries … Continue reading →

Red State (2011) – Well this is sure as shit a change of pace from Mallrats, I can tell you… Really, there’s nothing unusal about a film-maker switching up styles (James Mangold seems to do it with every movie), but Kevin Smith has carved such a smart-ass niche for himself that it’s actually pretty shocking … Continue reading →

American Horror Story – “Pilot” What… the… fuck…? I’m not sure just what the hell I watched. I think it might have been one of the crappiest pilots I’ve ever seen that still has a lot of potential for a series. I’ve seen far crappier to be sure, but none that plant so many potentially … Continue reading →

TRON: Legacy (2010) — So this is a “just okay” movie that is elevated to “slightly above average” status by pretty pretty visuals and kickass music. Everything in this movie looks awesome. Garrett Hedlund plays Sam Flynn, son of the original’s main character Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges). I might as well point out now that … Continue reading →
