It’s an accepted truism that Disney’s ’70s output, especially in the realm of live action, was questionable at best. But say what you will about Condorman (and there’s a lot to be said about it — enough that it could easily count as one of our guilty pleasures) the studio made a couple of flicks … Continue reading
Since he’s been up there making it for months, it makes sense that George A Romero’s Diary Of The Dead (that’s the full title, folks) will premiere as part of the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival’s Midnight Madness program. That’s the part of the festival where movies like Ichi The Killer, Hostel and High Tension … Continue reading

Based on what a couple other people told me, I was right to do so. So I went to play a little more … Continue reading
Yesterday hurt. Couldn’t resist the siren song of the Rock Band party the night before, and that led to a massive plate of corned beef hash at 3am and, well, you know how that turns out. At least I didn’t get drunk and hop on the skateboard I acquired from Sierra. That would have been … Continue reading
