Comic-Con finally ended on Sunday and I can now get back to my boring, pathetic life. Before I launch into another Comic-Con screed, I want to make it perfectly clear that I write this all out of affection. I love the Comic-Con…but certain problems need to be addressed. Like the smells. I’ve talked about it before … Continue reading
Of all the films I’ve seen (and believe me, there have been many), very few have actually moved me to tears. Only two, in fact. The first being The Elephant Man, which is easily one of the most incredibly heartbreaking films ever made. The other being Dear Frankie, a little known Scottish film that deserves … Continue reading
Some are saying that this is the best summer at the movies in the history of summers at the movies. Admittedly, it’s been pretty good. While The Dark Knight didn’t ask you to check your brains at the door, it certainly asked you to check your emotional maturity somewhere. Maybe just toss it on the … Continue reading
Blogging is weird. it’s one of those things that although I enjoy, I don’t fully understand. The internet has made it possible for all of us to be connected worldwide, natch. But sometimes I just wonder what the point of it is. I can’t imagine anyone wanting to read about my opinions or stories, and … Continue reading
The Brisbane International Film Festival (A.K.A. BIFF) is under way right now and it closes on august 12. And I’m severely kicking my ass for not being able to be part of it in some way.

Just kidding. I don’t miss him one bit. Fine, I liked the first Austin Powers movie (even though In Like Flint* is far superior). I really liked the first Wayne’s World film. Even the sequel was halfway decent. Then something happened. He just phoned it in. He uses the only stupid voice he knows and … Continue reading
I’m in a sort of obsessive compulsive and nostalgic funk lately, so I think this blog is going to be all about cataloging my perpetual childhood for future reference. I’m starting with a list. Lists are always good. I think I’ve made it clear in my short blogging tenure that most of my entertainment life … Continue reading
WARNING: This blog post features sexually explicit text. Not for the faint of heart. Lately I feel like I haven’t been performing to the height of my intelligence, in most aspects. All my jokes seem to be the kind of rambling non-jokes they cram into Aqua Teen Hunger Force. I even watched Batman ’89 recently, a … Continue reading
I’m sure the smartass answer to that question is a simple “uh, yeah,” but there are some films that it seems you simply never get tired of, no matter how many times you’ve seen them or how many wasted hours of your life you could have spent doing something else more worthwhile that it adds … Continue reading
Okay. So I’d like this to not automatically be about Heath Ledger and what an awesome actor he clearly was and how his interpretation of The Joker is one of the most exciting things I’ve ever seen in a summer movie. And that’s why I went ahead and made that my opening statement and decided … Continue reading
