MCLOVIN STRIKES BACK

I didn’t see Superbad until a few weeks after its theatrical bow, and – whether it was the expectations and hype being too high or the fact that I wasn’t seeing it in a packed theater with a raucous audience – I sadly left the theater underwhelmed. To this day, I still can’t put my … Continue reading

RUN, TRAILER, RUN

Between the ace usage of The Fratellis’ “Chelsea Dagger”, the appearances of Simon Pegg and Hank Azaria, and the random slapping together of scenes without any sort of voiceover or narrative, I was quite intrigued by the initial teaser for Run Fat Boy Run. Things only got better when I saw that Pegg was co-writing … Continue reading

TOUCH MTV FILMS, THEY’RE SICK

The first time I saw a promo for HBO’s Flight of the Conchords, I was sorely tempted to buy a ticket for the “Man, HBO’s Sunday nights are fucking done” train.

In between, he smokes, drinks, and gets to know Australia, where this baby was filmed. Granted, this is … Continue reading

SCREENING: IN THE VALLEY OF ELAH

Ok, folks…this one’s a rather hot, just-in bit of niceness.

Normally, I go in much more detail, but I aint seen it, and I wanna make sure that … Continue reading

THE LEGEND OF UWE BOLL

I’ve rhapsodized at length about the virtues of Dr. Uwe Boll* and he never lets me down on one particular trait: Tenacity. Fresh from corralling a crew featuring other Teutonic wonders Ralf Moeller and Til Schweiger on Farcry, the good doctor has acquired the rights to yet another video game. This time out, however, he … Continue reading

WATCH THIS TRAILER KICK THE BUCKET

A few weeks ago on my way out of a matinee of Superbad (Seriously, I do not get the hype for this film. Spots of funny, but it aint a gamechanger.), my wife and I were approached by some marketing research peeps to watch some “previews of upcoming films” and share our Joe-average opinions. While … Continue reading
