That Will Teach Them To Be Bad: The Baron's Weekly Capsule Reviews
http://thatwillteachthem.blogspot.com/2008/10/barons-weekly-capsule-reviews.html
Saturday, October 11, 2008. The Baron's Weekly Capsule Reviews. As I say above, "weekly." I promise, from now on. Directed by Steven Brill and Written by Kristofor Brown and Seth Rogen. This is a fun goofy comedy in the same vein as 40 Year Old Virgin. I am not a fan of Owen Wilson at all, yet this movie was funny enough to get me to ignore his inherent mild retardation (thats right, I said retarded. Come get me anti-defamation league! Directed by Peter Berg and written by Matthew Michael Carnahan. The s...

old dark house: January 2012
http://olddarkhouse.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 22, 2012. It's been a couple of dec. Ades since I've seen this low budget Paramount potboiler, and over the years I remembered it as being pretty deranged.but until a revisit I didn't realize just how brilliant the damned thing really is. Say, if Quentin Tarantino had directed a movie in 1941, it might look something like this genre-bending lollapalooza. Transplants her freshly-executed brother's brain into a gorilla's skull! And to a contemporary audience, it's easy to miss the deliberat...

old dark house: April 2011
http://olddarkhouse.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 7, 2011. Okay, straight up? On the face of it,. Is mostly indefensible. If you want to take it on the surface. Not that that’s a bad thing, necessarily. I have no problem with strippers packing big guns being used as exclamation points between explosions. I’m still breathing, right? Especially since this doesn’t pretend (too much) to be high art…this is Zack Snyder. Being given millions of dollars just to unleash his id on the screen. All this setup is played out in an opening gambit that...

old dark house: Ebert Still Rawks
http://olddarkhouse.blogspot.com/2012/05/ebert-still-rawks.html
Thursday, May 10, 2012. Yeah, I'm a film reviewer. Note I say reviewer, not critic. Although I suppose I am. But I don't have the education, resources or drive to consider myself a critic. And calling oneself a film critic is sort of embarrassing anymore. Hard not to be. But I still get paid to watch movies, so suck it. Yeah, easy targets. But the old school is pretty fair game these days. I can put religion aside, though. He also wrote the screenplay for Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. Granted, the scre...

old dark house: July 2012
http://olddarkhouse.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 11, 2012. Encountering the regional shocker Blood Stalkers. For the first time is a little like coming across a forgotten Mason jar stuffed with a perfect chunk of. 1978 A lot was happening in horror that year, so it’s easy to understand why Robert Morgan’s first and only shot was drowned out in the roar. Admittedly another in a long line of Deliverance. As-Grand Guignol shockers, Blood Stalkers. Main misfortune was to arrive so late in the game to have the door slammed in their faces.

old dark house: June 2013
http://olddarkhouse.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 23, 2013. Sorry, Virginia. despite the swell concept art. That was all over the 'net at the beginning of the process, we don't get our. Actually, there’s no trace of Max Brooks’ clever zombie novel World War Z. To be found here, other than some echoes in the dialogue. And the name. They could have just labeled it Brad Pitt vs. The Zombies. Oral histories, the novel obviously calls out for a HBO project in the style of Ken Burns. Or play some Left4Dead. And here the infected come a’runn...

Film Walrus Reviews: Introduction to the Film Atlas
http://www.filmwalrus.com/2014/01/introduction-to-film-atlas.html
Monday, January 27, 2014. Introduction to the Film Atlas. Welcome to the Film Atlas! I am going to review a favorite film from 100 countries. There will be a new post with a new country and a new film every day. Countries whose films will be featured, color-coded by decade. It probably goes without saying that I think these films have more to offer! The thought occurred to me that I should set a goal of 100. Even better, instead of just seeing the movies, what if I wrote about them? Movie from each count...

7 Dollar Popcorn - Really, it's just my opinion. That's what passes for entertainment in these parts.

Fun while it lasted. Tuesday, August 09, 2011. Na Na Na Na Na Na Backlash! I couldn't help but laugh this article on io9 this morning:. So wait. Is there really a Dark Knight Rises backlash? Wait, why am I laughing you ask? As you may or may not recall, I've had mixed. When it comes to the previous Batman films. In fact, I think that at one point, I referred to The Dark Knight. As my least favorite movie of 2008. Na Na Na Na Na Na Backlash! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Follow me on Twitter. 4 - Co...

Film Walrus Reviews: April 2015
http://www.filmwalrus.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 21, 2015. Film Atlas (Mauritania): Timbuktu. The film is set during the 8-month occupation of Timbuktu, Mali by Ansar Dine, a militant Islamic movement associated with ISIL. They impose sharia, an extremely strict set of laws that includes the banning of music, singing and sports, forcing women to completely cover their bodies, and levying heavy punishments like lashings and stonings for violations. Monday, April 20, 2015. Film Atlas (Kuwait): The Cruel Sea. Bas ya Bahar (1972). This was t...
