  • Movie Review – Ponyo

    First, a story. I had been exposed to Anime only sparingly as a kid, mostly Voltron, Tranzor-Z (Boob missiles!) and later, Ronin Warriors. I enjoyed them, but nothing really made me go out and seek more. Oh, and I caught the super-hyped showing of Akira on the Sci-Fi channel, which didn’t help. My Miyazaki fandom…

  • Movie Review: Star Trek (2009)

    I am writing this, in the interest of full disclosure, as a Trekkie who kind of fell away from Star Trek towards the end of Voyager, and missed pretty much all of Enterprise. Seems pretty common, actually, from the guys I went to see the movie with. Word of caution: Here there may be spoilers…

  • Lucas is Meddlesome

    Jeffrey Katzenberg, speaking to ComingSoon.net, revealed that Darth Lucas is ‘investing in technology’ to turn the Star Wars movies 3D. My favorite bit: Katzenberg remarked in the interview that Lucas “isn’t going to put a product out, I think, that isn’t anything other than first rate.” Yeah, EP1 was first rate, all right. UGH.

  • Hulk SMASH

    I went to see The Incredible Hulk over the weekend (twice, in fact). I enjoyed it quite a bit, although Iron Man is still my movie of the year so far. I only read Hulk comics when I got ’em in the multipacks I bought, but I enjoyed what I read of Peter David’s run.…

  • Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

    I went to see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull last night. I thought it was pretty good, say B- or C+ grade-wise. I enjoyed it, and don’t feel as if it was a waste of money, which is good considering how much it costs to go to a movie nowadays. There…

  • For the Good of the World: Cadbury VS Boll

    In a fit of awesomeness, Cadbury Adams’ Stride brand gum has thrown it’s support behind the Stop Uwe Boll effort. Movie City indie has the details. On April 4, 2008, Uwe Boll remarked to legendary horror site FearNet that he’d consider acquiescing to his critics and abandoning making films in this genre if an online…

  • Iron Man

    Uh, wow! AWESOME MOVIE!!! Great dialogue, great actors, characters that react the way real people would, super-great comic action! I can’t wait to see it again, and then again. And then once more. CHEESEBURGER FIRST!

  • Google Search Tricks

    You may know some of these already, but Lifehacker has a handy guide for getting more than just your normal search results from Google. Since many of us have Google as our homepages (or use the Google toolbar), it’s a quick and easy way to find out when a movie is playing, check the weather,…

  • Battlestar Galactica: Razor Will Have Showings In Select Theaters

    Mixed in with the news that the BSG Season 4 will not start until April (decidedly not cool) is news that the BSG movie Razor will be in theaters in select cities before it airs on TV. On November 12th, you can catch Razor at theaters in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, Philadelphia, Dallas,…
