I have a billion things that I should be doing. A podcast to edit. Two more academic conferences to get ready for. A couple of papers to write. I should pack. I should clean my house. So what did I decide to do? I decided to go see Ready Player One at the movies last night,…
If you know me you know I love the Oscars. I love Oscar season (hmmm… I haven’t had a fancy dress up party for the Oscars in a while, maybe I should). I got a little busy towards the end of the year last year and missed several of the big Oscar flicks. I’m still…
Decided to welcome the old MoviePass into 2018 yesterday and saw The Commuter with Liam Neeson. I would like to say that there aren’t going to be any spoilers in this review. And really, there aren’t. Except you know the story already because it’s a liamneeson movie. It’s Taken on a train. You see, there are many…
I’m not sure which movie I saw the Disaster Artist trailer at for the first time. It doesn’t really matter. What I do remember is that it was buried… maybe three or four trailers deep. But the original trailer opens perfectly: James Franco, doing his best Tommy Wiseau impression from the most iconic scene, in…
Merry Christmas everyone. And what would Christmas be without a gift of a movie review from me? Well, honestly, it would pretty much just be Christmas. I don’t even know that i’ve ever written a movie review for Christmas before. But whatever. Steph and I saw Passengers on Christmas Eve, so I’m doing it. Before I…
Since people said they’d be interested, I said I’d try to do more movie reviews of stuff that wasn’t necessarily geek movies. So I’m going to ease into it with a movie that has a mild comic book connection. Here goes. Last night I went to see Edge of Seventeen, a film I’d been looking forward to…
This is going to be one of those movies I go to and there’s a theater full of white folk afraid to laugh, isn’t it? Also, I’ll go see Dennis Haysbert in anything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwJhmqLU0so
Day 1359 of 365 4 lyf. Still catching up. Always catching up. Taking a break and watching a movie with my sweetie. 365 days
Day 1110 of 365 Again. So way way way back Sarah and I went and were extras in a major Hollywood movie. We stole the show. See, I perform a very valuable role in Hollywood. You can always tell who the second female lead is because I’m standing to her left the first time she…
Day 1092 of 365 Again. Bet you can’t tell what this is. So last night Steph says "hey, want to go to the movies?" We haven’t been to one in a while and I said sure, it sounds like fun. So we drive out to the theater and as I’m walking in I notice that…
Day 938 of 365 Again. I’m going to try very hard not to leave spoilers here. So today should be a happy day. I’ve been waiting for a Watchmen movie for the better part of my life. Today that dream came true. Sometimes dreams should just be dreams. It certainly wasn’t the worst movie ever.…
Day 917 of 365 Again. So remember a year ago how I said I went and did some extra work in a Kevin Smith movie. That movie, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, came out way back in October, and of course I went to see it, but sadly not enough other people did for…
Day 824 of 365 Again. Yesterday was probably my lamest 365 shot ever, so I figured I should make up for it today. I’m actually pretty happy with what I came up with, especially given that I didn’t start working on it til 11:30. Credit to this idea goes to Max. He took the plot…
Day 812 of 365 Again. So, way back in January, I filmed my second major Hollywood motion picture. And by filmed I mean, I got paid to basically sit around and do nothing while Kevin Smith made a movie around me. It was actually pretty neat. That movie came out today, so of course I…
Day 63 of 365 days. I didn’t really have a good idea for today until I saw Rachel Sian mention her mini-challenge, and realized, "Wow, it is Friday the 13th!" She said she wanted us to portray "bad luck" in some manner. Well, I figure this is about as bad luck as you’re likely to…
