Codehunters – Stunning!

Long time no see, y’all.  Here to order you to check out Codehunters.
Ben Hibon has done an amazing job with his animated short, Codehunters.  Absolutely beautiful, and a must for cyberpunk/steampunk fans out there.   At first glance it reminded my of Jamie Hewlett’s work (Gorillaz/Tank Girl) and there are touches of Peter Chung in there [...]

Ghostbusters!

I just watched Ghostbusters on YouTube – the full-length movie is available for free, with the minor annoyance of a few brief ads cutting through actual sentences here and there.
I love this movie. Right from the start, with the librarian dealing with a ghost who likes toying with books and card catalogs, it’s a ton [...]

Well, My Mom Loved the New Star Trek Movie…

I am visiting my mom and she suggested that we go check out Star Trek at the theater – much to my shock, since she’s never been into sci-fi. I hadn’t gotten around to seeing it yet so I was very pleased that mom wanted to go. She loved it! She found it to be [...]

The New Star Trek Trailer

I’ve seen the new Star Trek trailer on TV and I have to say, it looks pretty good. I’m still not sold nor do I have my hopes up. I’m also wondering why it was so important to show a clip of a woman in an Uhuru-style red dress pulling it off to show her [...]

The Happening

I generally enjoy everything that M. Night Shyamalan puts out, and The Happening was no exception. Like most of Shyamalan’s films, people either seem to love or hate The Happening. If you want a lot of fast past action and special effects, The Happening is not for you. If you want a quiet thriller that [...]

The Spiderwick Chronicles

I just saw this on DVD. This is another children’s fantasy trying to ride on Harry Potter’s coattails. In brief: A family moves into a creepy old house, where a boy finds a book that opens the doorway to the fairy world.
The Spiderwick Chronicles is a fun movie, filled with action and paced well. The [...]

Is the Dark Knight the Best Movie Ever?

“That was the best movie, ever,” my friend said as we walked out of a showing of The Dark Knight.
“The best? No way,” I said. “Good, yes, but the best ever?”
“Well, it’s at least in the top ten,” he replied.
So maybe this really is a guy thing, because I cannot for the life of me [...]

A Few Things to See on Hulu

Hulu is quickly becoming one of my favorite websites because I can watch a bunch of movies and TV on demand, without having to go out and get a rental or wait for whatever is in my Blockbuster queue to arrive. Here are a few things I’ve recently caught on Hulu:
The Fifth Element
Now a classic [...]

Max & Co

I went to see Max & Co this week. A cute story by Christine Dory and Emmanuel Salinger, and very cool stop animation. The mise-en-scene is a nice mixture of steam-punky technology and alpine small-town idealism. And there’s something I really like about French with subtitles. Just sounds cool.

While it’s essentially a kids film, it [...]

Zombies on the brain

Zombie’s scare the bejesus out of me. I read in a dream book that Zombies represent a disconnection from feelings. If you are feeling numb, depressed, cold inside, or if you are completely consumed by a certain feeling, like hunger or fury, then you are the closest to being a zombie – at least according [...]
