““We’re The Millers” is an interesting film, though it’s harsh – almost to the point of being mean, and mean-spirited – at times.” “Meet The Millers” is about family – which is not to say that it’s a family film, because it isn’t. In fact, it initially appears almost anti-family (curiously, so does the movie poster). The […]
If I were that only person that said that “Pacific Rim” is a great time at the theater, then I could perhaps understand some hesitation. But if “Half In The Bag” says it’s good, you know they’re right. Their review is bit late (which Jay acknowledges) but better late than never.
For a series based upon the unusual, the paranormal, and the supernatural, the earlier “X-Files” episodes seem unusually afraid of depicting monsters, if the fifth episode of the First season, “The Jersey Devil” is any indicator. It begins in 1947, with a family driving down a dark country road. They get a blowout , and […]
Keanu Reeves amazes me. We have computer-generated technologies that can make it appear that a man can fly, that can enable giant robots and monsters to roam the earth, and yet no technology yet invented can make him seem like he has emotions and feelings like the rest of us. I know that that sounds […]
“Shadows” is the sixth episode of the First season of “The X-Flies,” and it’s a keeper. It revolves around a woman, Lauren Kyte (Lisa Waltz) who’s boss has just died, supposedly by suicide. He was like a father to her, so she’s pretty distraught. Mulder and Scully originally come on to this case as advisors […]
This is from Alfonso Cuarón’s upcoming “Gravity,” and supposedly it wowed the crowd at this year’s Comic-con, and seeing it for the first time myself I can see why. The way that the camera swoops and dives, seemingly without a cut or a break, give it a dynamicism, an almost animated feel except that it […]
You ever start something that seemed like a good idea at the time, till you realized how daunting a task it actually is? That’s what I am feeling about my ‘X-File A Day’ column at the moment. It’s a show worth revisiting, till you realize that it ran nine seasons. Then again, my mom didn’t […]
I am not yet ready to serve the naysayers that implied that “Pacific Rim” would be a flop a juicy slice of humble pie, though I am warming up the oven. Guillermo Del Toro’s love letter to Saturday afternoon monster features finished first in 50 territories, and hasn’t yet been released in China, Brazil, Spain and […]
The trailer for “Catching Fire,” the second movie in the The Hunger Games Trilogy, came out a few days ago via Yahoo, so I had to wait till it appeared in a format more easily digestible for WordPress. The first film actually caught me by surprise because I assumed that because the books that inspired […]
I should mention that the episode order is going to be a little off for a bit because the idea came to me when I was already into re-watching the series, which I started doing because my memories of it are pretty favorable. “Ice” is the eighth episode of the First season. It revolves a of group […]
