This is the best anime I've EVER seen. That's not saying much cuz that shit sucks for the most part, but this show is the epitome of contemporary relevance. For those of you unaware with the spectacular new series, it's a new addition to the adult swim lineup, an anime comedy about a black grandpa and his two grandsons move from the ghetto into a white suburb and deal with the new race issues

Note: This movie is so crappy I couldn't contain myself from describing much of the plot because I discourage anybody reading this from actually watching the movie. Plus, describing the plot in a skeletal manner would only let you predict it all anyway. So don't consider this a review, consider it a breakdown of a very horrendous movie -- with spoilers.What do you get when you cross an angry,

Guest Reviewer: Petra One of the freakiest horror movies you may ever see, this religious drama plays on your nerves and your sense of righteousness. Made in the late 1970s with Gregory Peck as Robert Thorne and Harvey Stevens as Damien, it is one of the craziest movies you might see. It starts out in a hospital on June 6, at six am. The American Ambassador to Italy, Robert Thorne and his wife

Probably the most impressive thing about this movie is that it had the potential to be so terrible, but it managed to avoid all of the genre pitfalls and the end result is a movie that manages to be both exciting and compelling. For that alone, I award it three Alps. The next two will be hard-earned by the end of this review. Collateral starts innocently enough - Jamie Foxx is a cab driver, who

Guest reviewer Bosk Before I start out, I should mention that I am going to try to review something I haven't reviewed before, namely a record. Yes, one of those big black vinyl records. I brought home my mom's old record player from my grandparents' house last August and until today I had been content with my mom's old record collection (with selections like Bachman Turner Overdrive, Earth

Every once in a while there's a movie that you get really excited about, and the previews look like it's going to be the best thing ever, and you read every interview, closely examine every publicity still, and finally you get to see the movie, and it's really one of the more lackluster things you've ever seen in your life. For a lot of us, that was what it was like to see the Matrix sequels.

I once read a review of this movie that said something to the effect of: "The previous movie, First Contact was really good, but for Insurrection it seems like the producers just said, 'Hey Frakes, why don't you get the boys together and make another one of them space pictures.'" Yeah, that about sums it up. This particular adventure sees our valiant heroes investigating an incident on a

Oh, joy! Another really good movie. Of course, that just means the next two will be bad, but I'll burn that bridge as I cross it. The beginning of First Contact sees our valiant heroes flying around in their brand new ship, which s a lot flatter, longer and cooler than the other one. Seeing the new version, you can hardly blame them for crashing the older model into a planet. It was ugly, clunky

Ahh... finally a new cast to open our new Star Trek movie. The credits roll over a wine bottle flying through space. Thing strange about that, I guess. I mean, the bald guy is French, even though he sounds British and lives in America. The wine bottle is flying... spinning... flying... shiny... flying... BAM! It explodes against a hard metal surface. Oh, I get it. They were christening a ship.

The only thing to make a more dramatic comeback than this was when the Red Sox won the World Series. Fans of the Star Trek franchise could not ask for a better movie than this one, let alone a better follow-up to one of the worst movies of all time. The Undiscovered Country is, in my less than humble opinion, perfect. Just as there was nothing good about The Final Frontier, there is nothing bad

Shatner wrote this movie. End of review. Not really. Unfornately for all of us, there is a lot more to be said. Star Trek V: The Final Frontier has to be one of the worst franchise movies ever made. How this even made it past the concept phase is a mystery to all. The dialogue is terrible, the plot is hilariously stupid, and the acting from every one of these people is some of the worst I've

Weeep... Woop. Bleeee... woomp. Whales in Space. Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home opens on a giant log floating through space, making a wide variety of strange noises. We get a nice long series of shots and amazingly nerdy dialogue to establish that it is sucking up electricity left and right. This wouldn't be so bad, except that our loyal, hardworking Starfleet scientists determine that the giant

So at the end of the last movie, Spock died and it was really sad. Shatner cried, and then he gave a speech, and then his face twitched. Spock's Torpedo-Coffin landed on the new planet. I smell a sequel. As it turns out, Vulcans don't really have to die as long as they pass on their soul to a temporary host while the body is restored to life. It seems that Spock chose good ol' Dr. McCoy, who is

"Khaaaaaaaannn!" Welcome to the (second) best Star Trek movie ever. Our story picks up with a scene strange to most loyal fans - a young Vulcan woman is commanding the crew of the Enterprise on a mission past the neutral zone, when the ship recieves a distress call from a nearby vessel. The mysterious Captain elects to break treaty and investigate, but thay're caught by Klingons and soundly

There are some Star Trek Movies that people hate, and some that they love, but there is just one that nobody thinks about at all until someone else brings it up. That one, the first movie, happens to be one of my favorites. A lot of people don't like The Motion Picture. They say it's too long, too boring, too much like a glorified episode of the series for anyone to really care. I disagree. To me

I cannot believe that I watched this movie. I started seeing previews for it, and my first thought was, "Wow, Lindsay Lohan is hot." Then I started actually listening to what she was saying, and I realized that Mean Girls was going to be pretty stupid. It had almost nothing going for it - a high school comedy about girls being bitches to each other. Well, just give up the Oscar now. Even though

Remeber a couple years ago when everyone saw the previews of The Matrix Reloaded, and we all talked about what a great movie it was going to be, and then it more or less sucked? Half Life 2 is nothing like that. A year and a half ago, developer Valve released a 30-minute proof of concept video to show off not only their amazing new graphics engine, but the awesome game they were developing. The

Even if you haven't seen the movie, everyone knows the ending of Soylent Green. It's people. Aaaaahhhh! It's also a stupid, stupid movie. After a montage of industrialization, we are told that the movie takes place in New York City in 2022. The population is some absolutely huge number, and lots of people are poor and starving. Charleton Heston is Robert Thorn, a cop who somehow managed to

For a show that I didn't want to go to, this was really good. Little Shop of Horrors started life as a Broadway play, then became a movie with Rick Moranis, and is now a play again. For someone who had never seen an actual Boradway play before, I found the movie to be over-the-top, excessively musical, and entirely stupid in its premise. I should have known better. Rick Moranis ruins everything

A lot of people really loved Napoleon Dynamite It's been desicrbed as funny, quirky, amusing, hilarious, and a wide variety of other adjectives that really just mean the same thing. I can't say I didn't like it. It had that weird sort of Indie-film charm that disappears once big studios get involved. If it had been about pretty much anything else, or if I were anyone other than myself, I'm sure I

It is possible to sum up this movie in about a sentence. But it deserves a heck of a lot more than that, because it's pretty awesome. The plot is pretty simple, so it's kind of difficult to do it justice on paper, but here goes. For those who have never read the comic book, the Punisher is a man named Frank Castle, who goes around in a trench coat and the famous skull shirt personally

OK... there are a couple of cool things about this movie. The first one being, of course, that none of it exists. That's right- they filmed it all on blue screen, so if the actors aren't actually holding something, it isn't actually there. And the computer generated backgrounds start out obviously, but become so seamless that you don't even notice that they are there. The opening sequence is

Lemming Reviewed previously, and he absulotely slammed Hero. I wasn't planning on reviewing it at least until I watch it again, but hell if I'm going to let Lemming trash a movie I liked on my blog. So here goes nothing. Lemming summed up the plot pretty well, but here is my own brief synopsis: The titular Hero, called "Nameless" due to his lack of name, is being escorted to the Emperor's throne

What to say about this movie? Xar says I'm uncultured because I didn't enjoy it as much as he did, but I've heard a rumor that Xar's a fool. So I'll offer my usuall objective review. The movie starts out with Jet Li, named "Nameless", riding in a carriage across the desert. We gradually that he is bringing with him the blade of a spear and two swords. In any case he arrives at the Emperor of

This was one of the rare movies where you actually have to think to understand it, and that's a good thing. Without giving away the end of the movie, I can't really give a plot summary, because the whole

Review Numero Noventa: Spiderman 2 You know, when I think of exciting action stars, I think of Tobey Maguire. From Pleasantville to Seabuscuit, this guy has "it." He's intense, he's exciting to watch. It's almost as exhilirating as... Matlock. Or Diagnosis Murder of you're an old Dick van Dyke fan. The point of all this being that I'm pretty sure Tobey Maguire was enbalmed several years ago,

Well, I'm glad to report to you that it was incredibly funny. You really can't go wrong with Ben Stiller in any scenario, and physical comedy is usually funny. Plus, the entire premise is laughable. But don't get your hopes up too high - the movie is also

Review Numero Ochenta y Cuatro: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban All right, so earlier I said that I like this film less and less the more I think about it. This is still true. Everything that the pre-release reviews said is ultimately valid - this installment in the series is darker, the writing is more mature, and the production is incredible. However, the previous two movies had one

Review Numero Ochenta y Tres: The Day After Tomorrow One of the big marketing hypes was that this movie was made by the producers of Independence Day. This is an asset to this film only because it beans that Jerry Bruckheimer did not produce it. Not that Jerry Bruckheimer is particularly bad, but really. Kangaroo Jack? CSI Miami? He has a lot to answer for. If you live in America and do not

Review Numero Ochenta y Dos: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Okay, so get this: There is a movie, involving Jim Carrey. And he doesn't act like a jackass the whole time! I know! Isn't it great? Maybe that isn't very fair, because I thoroughly enjoyed both The Truman Show and The Majestic. Great movies, but for some reason Carrey couldn't pull it off. He is a funny man, and he has a little

Review Numero Ochenta y Uno: The Da Vinci Code By Dan Brown Remeber my comment that people are morons? It's true. Anyone who doesn't take absolutely everything they read with at least one grain of salt deserves to be shot. Period. Contest time: Who here realizes the irony of that statement? Anyway, although Dan Brown is obviously smarter than all of his readers combined, all that means is that

Review Numero Ochenta: Grand Theft Auto III Today I was juggling just to make sure I still know how (I do), and i started thinking about how I'm almost done with this game and should write a review about it. Actually, the whole story makes a bit more sense than that. I had to move the box for "Call of Duty" to look for one of my hacky sacks, and "Call of Duty" is what I'm going to be playing

Review Numero Setenta y Nueve: Walking Tall Worst Movie Ever. Let me rephrase: Worst half a movie. I'd like to steal some intellectual property from Maddox and go off on this poor excuse for a movie properly, but im not that creative. Still, here's what it was missing: Plot. It needed a plot. The whole premise of the movie was a guy who returns home to finds his friends trying to kill him, so

Review Numero Sesenta y Ocho: HBHS California Band Trip Have you been to Disneyland? Most likely, but never like this. First off - The Hotel: I know I should start with the plane, but I'd rather rant about the hotel. We stayed at the Anahiem Hilton, approximately a 30 minute walk from Disneyland. The walk was all right, but it was hell on the knees. The room I stayed in (along with Kym Francis

Review Numero Setenta y Seis: New York University Ahh, the college hunt. This is the first in a series of four reviews, possibly more if I get around to them later. NYU is in the Greenwitch Village area of Manhattan, near Washington Square Park. The first thing a visitor notices is that there is really no "campus," in the traditonal sense. The buildings are scattered among ten blocks or so,

Review Numero Setenta y Cinco: Castaway This is probably the first movie that made me realize that Tom Hanks is a really good actor. I mean, he was great in Forrest Gump, but I wasn't really paying attention or something. That aside, he was just amazing in this movie. Everyone who hasn't been under a rock for the last ten years knows the story: a FedEx quasi-executive is flying with a bunch of

Review Numero Setenta y Cuatro: Secondhand Lions I have no idea where to begin to describe this movie. It's a heartwarming family values tale about two old men who used to be thieves and adventurers in Africa, and they retell their story to their great-nephew, all while shooting at door-to-door salesmen, raising a lion in a cornfield, and getting in fights with street gangs.

Review Numero Setenta y Tres: The Perfect Score Despite all appearances, this was not a bad movie. Wait, let me explain. I did not say that the movie was not stupid, because it definately was that. However, unlike a certain work of Ashton Art, this movie managed to be stupid and funny at the same time. We start with a montage of the various major characters in the movie, including; The

Review Numero Setenta y Dos: The Passion of the Christ As we all know this has been the most controversial movie in recent memory. Well, in this case it seems a lot of people are upset over nothing. The movie portrays Christ's last 12 hours of life as well as his resurrection, briefly. Perhaps the most interesting fact of the movie was that it was done in the original languuages. This gave

Review Numero Sesenta y Ocho: Sleepless in Seattle I can't decide if this was a good movie. I really can't. Maybe that's not a good way to start off a review, but I can't get past it. On one hand, it was an interesting concept, well-played characters, and some fairly funny moments. On the other, the motivations of some of the characters make no sense, a lot of the plot points are contrived, and

Review Numero Sesenta y Siete: Dude, Where's My Car? I watched this on TV a couple weeks ago because it sounded funny. Think of the premise: Ashton Kutcher (funny) is a stupid (funny) stoner (funny), and so is his friend (probably funny). They are presumably looking for their car. I don't know how you could go wrong. By all means, this sounds like a funny movie. Anyone who has watched "That 70'

Review Numero Cincuenta y Dos: The Terminator What could be better than sitting back and watching a movie with 80's filming (a bit fuzzy), 80's VFX (flashlights), 80's sound mixing (bare-bones), and 80's soundtrack, costumes, prosthetics and hair (synthesizers, bright and fugly, melted-down rubber bands, huge as hell)? Watching the future Governor of California shoot his way through all of.

Review Numero Cincuenta y Uno: The Crucible Once upon a time there was a communist named Arthur Miller who forgot to act like a capitalist when the feds were around, so they took him in and sat him down and yelled at him for being a ruskie. Then they let him go, but only under the condition that he never write anything bad about the United States government ever again. And then he did. Thus, we

Review Numero Cincuenta: The Matrix Revolutions A touch of Dumas, perhaps, was one of the things that dragged this movie down. The conflict between Neo and Smith in The Matrix Revolutions can be easily compared to that of d'Artagnan and Richelieu of The Three Musketeers fame; d'Artagnan spends 36 chapters circling his enemy, fighting his mercenaries, until the final showdown which is resolved in

Review Numero Cuarenta y Nueve: Interview With a Vampire Guest Reviewer Bosk This was a surprisingly good movie, especially considering it had Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Antonio Banderas, and a really, really young Kirsten Dunst. As I hope you can tell from the title, since I'm going to assume you understand basic English (let me know if I'm making too much of a jump here...) this is a movie about

Review Numero Cuarenta y Ocho: The Italian Job I'm never going to forgive you. All four of you suck horribly. That being Mini Yao, Bosk, Underoomon, and Lemming. You all totally blow. "Hey, I've got an idea: Since the Italian Job starts in 40 minutes, let's see The Hulk instead!" Absolute genius, you retards. Forty minutes that we could easily have wasted. Oh wait, instead we wasted two hours

Review Numero Cuarenta y Siete: Sweet Home Alabama This just plain flat-out sucks. It's boring. It's stupid. It's a total chick flick, except I can't even see what chick flick chicks would find appealing in it. I think the theory driving this train before it wrecked was that the wedding theme would draw people. Because all of those other wedding movies sold well right? RIGHT? The previews were

Review Numero Cuarenta y Seis: Misery This is weird. Not normal haha funny weird. This is really weird. This is Kubrick weird. You just know it's a King movie. Ever see The Shining? It's weird like that. I've never read any of his books, but King has got some serious shit going on if he can write this sort of thing. It's not a horror like you would expect from a guy like Stephen King. In fact,

Review Numero Cuarenta y Cinco: Intolerable Cruelty Did she specify what kind of man she was looking for? She said she wanted a man with a wandering pee pee, a philanderer, a cheat! Whoever thinks Ensemble comedies are dead obviously hasn't seen this one.

Review Numero Cuarenta y Cuatro: School of Rock Now raise your goblet of rock. It's a toast to those who rock! Definately the feel good movie of the year. The 'star studded' first billing includes Joan Cusack, Sarah Silverman and the star of the shoe, the irreplacable Jack Black of Tenacious D fame. The movie's plot plays well to Black's strengths as it focuses on 3 things, elementary school(

Review Numero Cuarenta y Tres: Blindness By Jose Saramago Translated from Portuguese by Giovanni Pontiero I don't often review books because there aren't many books that warrant an original review. That was good, that sucked, this one was boring. Blah blah. This book warrants its own review because it is one of the best damn books I have ever read. Blindness doesn't have a genre; it transcends

Review Numero Cuarenta y Dos: Underworld I can't claim to know anything about the whole vampires and werewolves thing, or how well this movie follows the rules of the genre, or if there are rules of the genre to begin with. I knew three things going into this: 1) Both are immortal. 2) Vampires can't be in the sun and werewolves are allergic to silver. 3) Both Werewolfism and Vampirism are

Review Numero Cuarenta y Uno: Phone Booth What a random-ass movie (MEIN FURER!). Synopsis: Stu Shepard is a semi-sleazy publicist who deals with celebrity assholes all day, so he cheats on his wife on the side. Amazing. Every day he goes to a certain phone booth and calls his girlfriend. Unfortunately, a psycho killer has been stalking him for months, finding about about all the evil things

Review Numero Cuarenta: Matchstick Men Have you seen those new anti-piracy things they put on before the trailers? They're great. Ours featured a set painter who's all like, "I do hard work to make the movies as good as they can be, I worked on..." and then he proceeds to read off TV Guide's list of the ten shittiest movies of all time. Or at least he might as well have. He then gives us this

Review Numero Treinta y Nueve: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Did you know that this used to be a comic book? I had no idea. I was reading some online reviews of this, and I came across one that said something to the effect of "this movie has managed to dumb-down a comic book." I was like what the hell? These are a bunch of classic literary characters. Whatever. But then as I kept reading

Review Numero Treinta y Ocho: Johnny English You know what? I already wrote a review with a guy named Johnny, and every time I write Johnny I actually wrtie"Jhonny," and I have to go back and correct it. Damnit. This movie is fuanny as hell if you've seen and know Mr. Bean. If you aren't familiar with British humor like that, then don't waste your time. This movie is not for you. However, if

Review Numero Treinta y Siete: Pirates of the Caribbean Hey Petra, you can still review this. Do not panic. Anyway, for a movie based on a ride at Disneyland, this was realy pretty good. I don't think I'd go so far as to say that it's the second greatest movie of all time, but it was certainly an enjoyable movie. Especially since the only reason I ever heard for seeing it was that "Orlando

Xar, you nerd, how could not have seen these two movies, OMG, everyone's seen Terminator! Wrong, dipshit. I haven't. But I did see this one, and I did like it. And it was easy enough to pick up on what had happened in the last two. Basically, Aahnold was bad, and now he's good,

Review Numero Treinta y Cinco: Just Married The only good thing about this movie is Ashton Kutcher, because he's a funny guy. Have you ever seen "That 70's Show?" It sounded kind of dumb at first, but then I started watching it and it was really funny. I bet it wasn't funny until I watched it, though. So all you fans of the new, funny 70's show have me to thank. But I digress.... For what

Review Numero Treinta y Cuatro: 24, Season One If it seems a little weird that I reivewed the second season first, you obviously weren't paying attention. We got the season one DVD set a while ago, and I finally finished them sunday. Since there are so many plotlines in the show, 'll break it down by character.

Review Numero Treinta y Tres: Catch Me If You Can You know, for a Leo DiCaprio movie, this was actually pretty good. He's a better actor than most people give him credit for. His biggest problem is problem is that his face is instantly recognisable. He can't hide in a role because everyone knows it's him. The same thing happened to Colin Ferrel and Kiefer Sutherland's voice. Kiefer has the

Review Numero Treinta: Grand Theft Auto - Vice City Now that I've actually played the game for a couple days (straight), I think it deserves its own review. The main premise of the game: Steal cars and kill people. See my rant on how video game violence is not a real social problem. Basically, if I wanted to run around and not break the law, I wouldn't play video games. Plain and simple. Anyway

Review Numero Veinte y Nueve: Undercover Brother Guest Reviewer Bosk Um... yeah. So where to start with this one? First... It was a comedy. I hope. Because it was too incredibly STUPID to have been anything else. This is the kind of movie to have on in the background, not the kind to actually spend 85 minutes watching. Basically, the movie is about racial tensions between the Black

Review Numero Viente y Ocho: Dogma Guest Reviewer: Petra Whitaker Dogma is one of the funniest movies, but it's also one of the most The movie starts out with a homeless man standing at a boardwalk with a big sign that reads SkeeBall. Then three hockey players (all about the age of 13-15) come up behind him and beat the crap out of him. Then you see two men in an airport in Wisconsin. Credits

Review Numero Viente y Siete: Amadeus Another movie that everoyn has seen. Oh well, I have nothing better to do. It's basically about Mozart, and an envious loser-composer who wants to kill him.

Review Numero Viente y Cinco: Monty Python and the Holy Grail Haha! This is actually kind of a fake review. To steal a phrase from TWOP, it's hard to say something funny about a funny movie. Of course, some of you would argue that I never say anything funny anyway. The point is, the movie is really good and funny. It is one of the few "staple movies" that everyone has to watch.

Review Numero Viente y Tres: The Matrix Reloaded If 24 was the coolest thing ever on TV, this was the coolest thing ever on the big screen. First commendations go to their balance of plot and action and really cool effects.
