You know how you see something and you think, Oh man! I gotta tell people about this, but then you forget or put it off? Then, it’s been so long that you think, Well, they probably know about it by now anyway, so why bother? And then, you’re like, No, wait. I have something to [...]
There will be some spoilers sweetie
“Well, it has to be better than the first one, right?” That pretty much sums up my initial expectations of G.I. Joe Retaliation. The first live action G.I. Joe , G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra, was an absolute disaster for most fans. Keep in mind, this is coming from someone who loves a cheesy [...]
Typically, when I love something, I consume it often: coffee, songs, movie theater popcorn, even some rare and special books worth investing another 10 hours in. And movies. Man, do I love re-watching movies. If I stumble upon Jaws, Bridesmaids, Serenity or Shaun of the Dead while flipping through channels (or, let’s be honest, scrolling [...]
Perhaps the biggest difference between myself and much of the internet is that I far prefer liking things to not liking things. People, food, stand-up comedians – unless these things unrepentantly hurt others or make me sick, I’m inclined to enjoy them. Same goes for pop culture. If I can find even one character [...]
Well now, this is a strange movie. Marketed as a genre-blending romantic comedy (with zombies) along the lines of Shaun of the Dead, Warm Bodies is not at all zany, and is far more surreal and earnest than you might expect, but it is a really rewarding experience, [...]
For months I’ve passed over a curious little title in Netflix: 2009′s Lo. The rating was surprisingly high for a low budget horror movie I’d never heard of, so I finally threw caution to the wind; after all, it’s not like I’m a movie snob or anything. What’s one or two more wasted [...]
There’s so much awesome to share in the world, and sometimes it’s just not really a fit or there’s not that much to say about it. So I’ll be concise and share three nifty things I am loving right now.
Gypsy and the Cat. Two former Australian DJs Xavier Bacash and Lionel [...]
While I almost always watch the Academy Awards and Golden Globes ceremonies, rarely do I enjoy the experience as much as I did last night, as the 2013 Golden Globes were awarded in Los Angeles. You may remember that I am a notorious movie and tv show fast-forwarder, prone to skipping things [...]
When it comes to movies, I am a notorious fast-forwarder. Not through the boring stuff; through the awkward or painful or horrible miscarriages-of-justice-type stuff. Trust me, if I had millions of dollars with which to bribe movie theaters for a remote to control the movie, no audience I was in would ever see another dog [...]
If you notice yourself waxing particularly nostalgic while listening to a song, there is good reason for it. Music operates on the brain in unusual, powerful ways, one of which is to cause particularly heightened activity in one of our key memory-making centers, the hippocampus, causing the memories formed while listening to music to be [...]
