The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

August 16th, 2008

This unique foreign film is based on the memoir of the same title by French journalist, Jean-Dominique Bauby.
For those unfamiliar - Bauby was a prominent journalist for ELLE until he suffered a massive stroke that knocked him into a coma for 20 days.  When he awoke he found that he was 100% mentally aware of [...]

Zodiac

August 16th, 2008

This movie got some flack when it came out and many find it boring.  I, however, consider it one of David Fincher’s best.
If you know anything of the Zodiac then it was one of the most unusual and intriguing serial killer stories.

Today I put in Return of the Jedi and I realized something…. this movie really sucks!

So what makes Return of the Jedi such a horrible movie?  Well, that should [...]

Darkon

August 11th, 2008

Have you ever played or heard of Dungeons and Dragons?  Have you ever heard of role playing? - not that type of role playing - Live action role playing or Larping.
Believe it or not there are people  who do this.  They dress up, pretend they are elves, carry fake swords and proceed to beat [...]

Batman 1989

August 11th, 2008

Sorry for the lack of posts.  I’ve been busy watching The Dark Knight - no joke!  (Forgive the pun)  What a great movie.  I just saw it again for the third time and noticed the wide variety of audience members. 
Hats off to Nolan and co.
This lead me to think back when I was [...]
