Brainwashing 101

I know I’m a bit late in posting this, but I finally got around to watching Evan Coyne Maloney’s documentary Brainwashing 101. I can’t speak highly enough about it. It’s a very sobering look at some of the evils of…

Hamminna Hammina

New Line has released a 6 minute trailer for the Extended Edition of Return of the King. It’s replete with spoilers (sweet, sweet spoilers that give me great hope) so don’t view it if that’ll present a problem. Otherwise, view…

Best Movie Review Title Ever

I’m generally not the biggest fan of Slate, but I do have to admit that they, unlike say, Salon, actually make attempts at balanced left/right coverage every once in a while. However, there’s one thing that they tend to excel…

Be Careful What You Wish For

We just got a new Flavia hot beverage machine installed at work and, for the record, while idle, it makes a sound almost identical to the one made by that freaky Zoltar fortune telling machine in Big. I’m almost too…

The Bourne Supremacy

My wife and I went to see The Bourne Supremacy two weekends ago and I’m just now getting a chance to jot down my thoughts on the movie. I heartily enjoyed it and, as a genre film, it succeeds fairly…
