Up: The typical and expected joy ride that is a Pixar movie. Watch a grumpy old man hike for days carrying a house on his back while avoiding attack dogs. This of course is no sweat compared to walking around the house or beating avian creatures. For that, a cane with tennis balls attached to its feet is needed. I think somebody needs to turn in their handicap pass.
Pies: 8.5/10
Land of The Lost: You might be laughing through a majority of this just because you feel like you should be. Surprisingly for how bad this movie is, it can still sustain somewhat good entertainment value. The PG-13 rating doesn’t kill the humor, it’s the writing. Unfortunately this one should be last on your list to see or near the middle in your Netflix queue.
Pies: 6/10
Drag Me To Hell: Exactly what you would want from Sam Raimi. Cheesy, wacky, horror that’s intense and unpredictable. A must see for anyone that enjoys ingesting embalming fluid or seeing movies with a rowdy crowd.
I remember when I first saw the trailer for this film and how my expectations immediately dropped. Having not seen any of Chris Pine’s (James T. Kirk) work previously I couldn’t help but feel like this guy must have some free time in between Dawson’s Creek seasons. Fortunately the first scene where Pine speaks I instantly changed my mindset. His character is written so well that he actually became my favorite character throughout the film.
As a whole the movie has outstanding establishing shots, special effects, audio work and acting. It’s extremely well paced and has a sufficient story to give the series a fresh start. The one gripe I might throw out there is the movie feels like one big lens flare at times. Besides that, I highly recommend it and it will more then likely be the movie of the summer.
Moon Bloodgood. The only reason worth seeing Terminator Salvation. Actually that’s not true but it was pretty mediocre.
The action along with the special effects were pretty great at times, containing prolonged shots sewn together with post magic. The story on the other hand was horrific and the dialog can be tossed into the same category. It’s filled with a significant amount of plot holes and you can’t help but think you’ve heard a majority of the lines before (”you better be ready to pull the trigger”). However, if your expectations are low for this one and you want some easy entertainment to go along with your popcorn, check it out. It definitely has some great scenes, it’s just too bad the movie as a whole wasn’t all there.

If the premise of this movie is “knowing” then it looks like Nic Cage might have some issues. I can’t tell if he is doing his best version of an innocent boy band pose or if someone just got done explaining how the Large Hadron Collider works to him. Knowing’s actual premise revolves around the findings of a time capsule that has predicted past events and supposedly ones of the future. In related news I recently dug up The Wicker Man and remembered why I will be as far away from the theaters as possible when Knowing is released on March 20th.
Well, nobody said this would be great but because I pledge myself on keeping my word I will degrade this site by posting garbage. Check out this funny man toying with the auto insurance salesman.
Now that I’ve settled in southern California I can finally invest in my dream car, the Pontiac Stinger. It has everything I could ever need for hosing down people at the beach while listening to my funky looking CD player. Wait, what?
If you want to check out what’s going on in this guy’s brain you’ll have to dive down 2,600 feet and keep a keen eye out for his motionless body. Scientist have recently solved a half century old mystery on whether or not this “barrel-eye” fish can move his eyes for better awareness. Well guess what, he can rotate those suckers all around that adorable little transparent skull.
Throughout the last week of Late Night, Conan O’Brien has performed a ceremonial deconstruction to his set giving any remains away to members of his audience. Tonight concluded the demolition for it was the last Late Night show he will be hosting before moving to the 11:30 block. Don’t fear, Conan promises not to change the formula that had made Late Night so successful.
Tonight’s final episode had some great skits and a farewell song performed and dedicated from John Mayer. I still can’t get over Mayer’s sense of humor in contrast to the genre of music he writes. He’s smart and that’s what makes him funny. Check out some of the clips from tonight’s final episode.
