Simplistic TV: The Wire, Season Three

Simplistic TV: The Wire, Season Two

The Wire, Season Two - Setup *Spoilers Ahead* This is a disclaimer that I should have written in the review of "The Wire," Season One, but I'll write it here to preface my Season Two review.  I did not watch "The Wire" on a season to season basis, essentially...

The Bourne Legacy

LACKING All my cards on the table.  I love the Bourne Trilogy.  I absolutely love it.  It pretty much redefined the spy genre and possibly the action drama genre into what we see now.  Daniel Craig's realistic Bond is a DIRECT RESULT of...

Elephant

Elephant - Earnest I normally write reviews on this site based on what I like and I normally don't like including any types of politics, social commentary, or the such in my reviews (it's just not my style to push that type of agenda down anyone's throat). ...

Rescue Dawn...And Inexplicably Behind Enemy Lines

HARROWING Hey, remember that horrid dreck of a film Behind Enemy Lines starring a more annoying than funny Owen Wilson and a completely phoning it in at this point Gene Hackman?  Yeah?  Well, Rescue Dawn is exactly like that.  Wait….no…no,...

Source Code

EXISTENTIAL Director Duncan Jones(Son Of David Bowie By The Way...Yes That David Bowie) originally impressed me with his 2009 film Moon starring Sam Rockwell.  On the surface Moon looked like a typical indie sci-fi picture.  However, Moon, to...

Terms of Endearment

Terms of Endearment: Classic I enjoy this film a lot. One reasons is they don't make these kind of films anymore. So it's a rare gem. Acting is top notch, Jack Nicholson is great and the directing of James L. Brooks works fantastic. A great film...

Fanboys

Fanboys – Unexpected Let’s face it; the three prequel “Star Wars” movies were disasters.  Films that pandered to 11 and 12 year old kids that lacked heart, and acting for that matter, so it might behoove you to believe that a group of friends would...

The Watch

The Watch: What? What the hell? This movie (If I can call it one) goes...NOWHERE. The Three Stooges made me cut myself 8 times... The Watch made me jump in front of cars, after I set myself on fire and shot myself 6 times. This shit makes me sad that...
