Movie Review: The Fall

Director: Tarsem Singh
Genre: Fantasy/Drama/Adventure
Year: 2008 (US)

The first thing that drew my attention to this film was the visuals, its fantastic approach and its costume design. Right off the bat it reminded me off The Cell, a favorite movie of mine which suffered in casting coughjenifferlopezcough but which still remains a complete visual orgasm, as far [...]

Movie Review: The Savages

Director: Tamara Jenkins
Genre: Drama/Comedy
Year: 2007

In my opinion, another of the greats of 2007 that were wrongfully overlooked. The hype was high for this film from the get go, even though it had very little financial backing and played at very few theaters upon its release. Nevertheless the critical acclaim it received was noteworthy. Unfortunately, [...]

The Pedi Cure

That’s right, read them and weep. I know you are all jealous of my new “Death Metal Black with Solar White Racing Stripes” look. They are pretty bad ass if I say so myself. I took the girls to get pedicures and they treated themselves, so why not me right? I am just sorta ticked [...]

Movie Review: Elevator to the Gallows

Director: Louis Malle
Genre: Thriller/Crime/Drama/Foreign
Year: 1958

A look at the date will tell you that yes, this is an old school film and that it is black and white. One look at the Genre will tell you that it is not a movie in English. I am sure by now 90% of the people have lost their [...]

Movie Review: The Chronicles of Narnia – Prince Caspian

Director: Andrew Adamson
Genre: Fantasy/Adventure/Family
Year: 2008

The Chronicles of Narnia is growing up and this is one sequel that decided to take up where it last left off and build on it rather than take the decline. Darker, moodier and generally more intense, Prince Caspian builds on the fantasy world that the first one establishes and amps [...]

Movie Review: Cloverfield

Director: Matt Reeves
Genre: Horror/Sci-fi/Thriller/Action
Year: 2008

If you take the Blair Witch Project and inject into it a much greater budget you get this, complete with the headache that plagues you half an hour after watching the movie due to the (purposely) poor camera work. At least the effect of the screen movement is not quite as [...]

Movie Review: Across the Universe

Director: Julie Taymor
Genre: Musical/Drama/Romance
Year: 2007

So, this British guy named Jude is out to look for his dad. This girl, named Lucy, is sending off her boyfriend to the war and in between them, is Max, the guy that meets Jude on this side of the Atlantic and introduces him to his family and eventually to [...]

Galleries are up!

I am stoked about this one. I knew I would eventually want to put the galleries up, show the illustration work I have done and get back into it. Now I can finally show it without kicking you out to my deviantArt site, which is good and all but I like having this sort of [...]

Book Review: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

Author: Mark Haddon
Category: Fiction – Adventure/Autism

Effectively ‘Dog’ would be a story categorized almost as a children’s book, if it did not deal with a handful of issues that are rather adult in nature. The main character is Christopher, an autistic 15 year old who sets out to write a detective novel trying to determine who [...]

Movie Review: The Devil Came on Horseback

Director: Ricky Stern, Anne Sundberg
Genre: Documentary
Year: 2007

:Though slightly misguided on its focus, precariously teetering between the atrocities taking place in Darfur and former Captain Brian Steidle, this film is nevertheless a significant and concise look at the genocide taking place on the other end of the world as I type this. Filled with powerful imagery [...]
