(Originally published on FilmThreat.com) I’ve really been looking forward to this one. I saw Desperado when it came out and thought it was just a hilarious action movie. It had a much better plot and sense of humor about its own ridiculousness than most of the other “action-comedy” movies out there. Steve Buscemi should have … Continue reading Chronicling Once Upon A Time In Mexico
Chronicling SWAT
How do I feel about Colin Farrell? That depends on what day it is. On some days I think he’s a hack pretty-boy who deserves every venereal disease he gets from Tara Reid. On others I think he’s a pretty good actor who, if nothing else, has made some interesting choices in the roles that … Continue reading Chronicling SWAT
Chronicling Underworld
I love stories like this. Vampires versus werewolves just sounds too cool and the addition of the ever-so-lovely Kate Beckinsale has made this a must see since I saw the first commercial. I don’t consider myself an ultimate geek, but supernatural or fantasy stories, when well done, just leave me wanting to explore more of … Continue reading Chronicling Underworld
Movies on the Brain: Alex & Emma

All I really remember is going into some sort of insulin shock about three quarters of the way through that one. But all in all, I think the balance … Continue reading Movies on the Brain: Alex & Emma
Movies on the Brain: Anything Else
(Originally published on FilmThreat.com) Shortly after this movie came out I realized I had watched next to no Woody Allen films. I had seen Husbands & Wives when it hit cable to see what all the hoopla was about around the time of Allen’s leaving Mia Farrow for her adopted daughter. Over the years I … Continue reading Movies on the Brain: Anything Else
Movies on the Brain: In-Laws
(Originally published on FilmThreat.com) First off, I think Albert Brooks is hilarious. The only problem I had with Finding Nemo (aside from thinking it was too scary for my 2 ½ year old) was that I couldn’t see Brooks face as he was delivering his lines. Defending Your Life is one of my favorite flicks. … Continue reading Movies on the Brain: In-Laws
Movies on the Brain: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
I’m not completely sure what to expect of this movie. On the one hand, I enjoy the occasional mindless action/adventure spectacle. On the other, I tend to be a snob when it comes to taking well-known characters from other sources and completely butchering their established personalities. Pieces I’ve read on this movie lead me to … Continue reading Movies on the Brain: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
