This particular Bond film is something of a guilty pleasure for me, because I find it to be lots of fun even though it admittedly has problems. Lots of problems. In a nutshell, the tone of the movie veers too much into silliness, especially when compared to its immediate predecessor. The storyline can be hard … Continue reading
A lot of people think Ballistic: Ecks Vs. Sever (B:Ev.S) is just another dumb action movie. Wrong! B:Ev.S is an action movie yes, but it is so much more: a sequel to Assassins, an entry to the Batman franchise, the third Charlie’s Angles movie, and a prequel to the Kill Bill series. Young Assassin from … Continue reading
A Nice Hard Slap – You Can Take the Boy out of the Country But You Can’t Take the Hunting Knife Out of the Face of the Boy out of the Country. “I’m a good ‘ol boy.” I’ve heard this comment/apology/declaration quite a few times in my day, usually from someone reacting to a statement … Continue reading
“It takes all kinds of critters to make Farmer Vincent’s fritters.” That is, without a doubt, one of the greatest taglines for any movie that I know of.

This isn’t going to be a Patrick Bateman-esque soapbox here, I’m not going to defend the decades of shit this guy has had a hand in* (although he does make a mean cocktail!!!). However, I always have … Continue reading
I was paid thirty million dollars to make a thirty second commercial for Fed-Ex. But guess what. My check came a day late. And guess who delivered it! So I took their stupid pile of cash, wiped my ass with one half, and used the other to make a movie about the two things I … Continue reading
Damn These Amazing Hands and Balls of Mine! Why is it that the only peripheral that is my favorite in the entire universe was discontinued by Microsoft a few years ago and now selling for upwards of $150 – $200? Of all the mice, trackballs, tablets, and touchscreen nonsense out there, all I need is … Continue reading
Another year has gone by and another trip from Chicago to Indianapolis and back has passed. Last year was my first experience with “the best four days in gaming”, and now it seems like the convention will be another that I attend yearly. Unfortunately, due to the lack of free wifi, I couldn’t give day-to-day … Continue reading
