Cancer. The term doesn’t really bring up a ton of happy thoughts in the minds of the populace. It’s not something that will ever come at a good time because there simply is no good time for it. Luckily for us, the film-goers, 50/50 centers on the topic in a way that’s both poignant and humorous at the same time.

I saw this film last night at midnight and am here to tell you that it is as awesome as you could possibly hope for. Read on for a more in-depth take on this film, or just sit there and look at the image above.

For those that don’t remember, I posted the trailer for this a while back. It opened here in OKC this past weekend and I went to see it so that I could share its splendor with you. Read on for my insightful review.

As I said in the title there, I was able to see an early screening of Winnie the Pooh, which opens on the 15th, the same day some boy wizard becomes a man(or some shit like that). It is great, as if you could think otherwise, but if you would like a bit more than that, read on!

I dislike sitting here up on my high-horse pretending that I am in any way better than people that make films. I don’t make films, and I probably never will on the scale that we see in theaters. That’s fine with me. It takes a tremendous effort to make a feature film, and I don’t snub my nose at that. But I must say that I am very pleased to hear that Cars 2 is getting poor reviews.

(If I had photo shop, you can bet there’d be a fart cloud or a butt in that poster)

So the guys put up the latest episode for the show (which is sadly lacking my shaky cam), and the movie reviewed is Super 8. I didn’t feel quite what the guys felt but I still had a pretty good time. (Hit more for a review sorts. Come on, daddy needs them clicks.)

Occasionally, when a film becomes a certain age my mind decides that it is not worth my time. A time frame for this cut-off doesn’t really exist; it’s more of a general, “that’s a few years old. I’ll pass.” Regardless of how good or not the film is, I sometimes feel like there is enough “current” material to get through that I don’t need to pay attention to older movies. Luckily, as a result of a long forgotten Netflix queue selection, over the weekend I finally got around to watching The Green Mile.

Hello! It’s been forever since I posted, but here we are. If this were a regular blog, I’d attempt to ply you with stories and grievances that explain my absence. I would regale you with my adventures with frost giants, Wills-o’th’wisp, and other good people. What does it matter, though? Let’s get to the meat of it!

Let’s look at a movie I recently watched for the first time. It seems like everyone else I know has already seen Berry Gordy’s The Last Dragon, but it was new to me. Here, you’ll get the pristine reactions of my first viewing, fresh as the plastic film in one of Garret’s unboxing videos. Read more…

Well, it’s been over a month.  I guess I should update.

Let’s talk about a wicked kung fu movie, shall we?  I’ve done a few reviews here that feature the legendary Wong Fei Hung, but it’s time for a slightly more recent bad ass to take the stage.  This post’s movie is Ip Man, a biopic about Yip Man (just an alternate Anglicization), the great 20th century Wing Chun master.  There is honor.  There is sadness.  It’s kung fu during World War II.  What more could you want?

Hey, all. I really need to update here more than once every five weeks. But enough chatter! It’s time for kung fu!

No list of great kung fu movies is complete without The 36th Chamber of Shaolin. Seriously, right on the front of the DVD box, you can see a quote from the New York Times referring to it as, “the greatest kung fu flick of all time.” If you haven’t seen it yet, please just go rent it or something. Hell, call me, and I’ll lend you my copy. If it helps, the star of this movie also played Pai Mei and the leader of the Crazy 88s in the Kill Bill movies. Read more…
