Golden Globes Nominations–Movies

Again, not even gonna bother ranting about the “should have been” or the “bullshit! he doesn’t deserve it!” people/films.  In fact, Ima keep my opinions to myself for now as I haven’t seen some of these. I’m hoping to have clear them all (except for The Informant! and some of the foreign language films as [...]

Golden Globes Nominations–TV

No time for unnecessary ramblings, not even going to bother with all the deserving shows/people who got shut out and the undeserving nominees, lets just get right to it:
BEST TELEVISION SERIES – DRAMA
Big Love (HBO)
Dexter (Showtime)
House (Fox)
Mad Men (AMC)
True Blood (HBO)
I’ve just started to watch Mad Men and completed season one: I’m not too thrilled about it to [...]

Chuck Season 3 Poster

I.CAN.NOT.WAIT.

Incoming: A Single Man

The debut film of fashion designer Tom Ford, A Single Man, which is an adaptation of a 1964 novel of the same name by author Chistopher Isherwood (I had no idea of that) has been garnering tons of praise and even if the film doesn’t connect on an emotional level–which I don’t think is the case here–it sure will look [...]

(Incoming) January: Dumping Ground for Bad Movies or Hollywood’s New Home For Hits?

Something rather strange happened a few weeks ago when I saw The Box–which I still think is a very creepy, interesting, solid movie no matter how many people supposedly hated it. Hopefully it would find its audience on DVD.  But I digress….
After 15 minutes of preview after preview one thing glaringly stood out to me [...]

Incoming: The Road-Extended Trailer

It is safe to say that my anticipation for the film adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s masterful novel The Road has reached fever pitch.  There’s absolutely no other movie left on the 2009 Calendar that I’m looking forward to more.
The movie was supposed to come out over a year ago and though I usually hate delays, this [...]

Incoming: Clash of the Titans

This first *teaser* trailer of Clash of the Titans bares very little resemblance to the original–which I have to rewatch again, it’s been like 20 years? and I was 7? 8? I barely remember much past Medusa and the mechanical owl, which I believe I wanted as a toy for Xmas.
Of course with like with [...]

Incoming: Prince of Persia-The Sands of Time

National Treasure+Pirates of the Caribean+The Mummy+a pinch of Alexander=Prince of Persia.
Wow, you can REALLY tell when a movie is from Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer can you not?
Every part of the sets, locations, etc., look pristine even the “dirty” places, the trailer attacks us with so much relentless action that has 0% real violence or even danger [...]

Incoming: Salt

This is the movie that was going to be a vehicle for Tom Cruise and then rewritten for Angeline Jolie….. and we the public are the winners of this switch.  Gotta say though, I don’t blame Tom for dropping out if that was the case, I mean it does resembles his Minority Report a bit [...]
