DOCUMEN:TUESDAY – “Dear Zachary”
NOTE: No trailer today because it offers mild spoilers I would strongly suggest avoiding. First and foremost, if you are depressed or hate crying, run like hell from this film. If you enjoy a good cry and you obsess over sociology, look no further. ”Dear Zachary” is an intensely unique story from the perspective of [...]
Friends of Doctor Who Make a Movie and Call It – “4.3.2.1.”
Initially I thought this was a stupid “chick flick” film like a New Years Day or Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants or some madness like that. Then after watching the trailer I thought I was getting myself into a heist movie. Turns out neither were entirely true but as a whole, I was pleasantly surprised. [...]
Let’s Jump Right In It’s Monday – “Killing Bono”
So happy to finally stray away from the normal magnet film, but once again we’re stuck on the topic of Misfits. Honestly, I’m not sure who reads any of this to begin with so I don’t know why I’m so apologetic. But if you read this blog at all, you should be ecstatic to hear more Misfits [...]
Just another Time Traveling Manic Monday – “Timecrimes”
“Timecrimes” is a movie I liked that I’m having a hard time describing. It’s not a typical drama because the protagonists and antagonists are less traditional, sometimes they are one and the same, and in other cases your enemy is just time. But not like the way Justin Timberlake had to face time in “in [...]
RED BOX RED:NESDAY – Space + Prison Outbreak = “Lockout”
Ok, so the trailer is kind of garbage… or at least I think it’s garbage. It looks like a made for tv film that you want to miss, but perhaps that’s just the kind of film I enjoy. Regardless of how little you know about a film, there’s always a handful of buzz words that guarantee a [...]
Go to a red box. Grow some personality. Love your life. And watch “Detention”
I don’t even know how someone writes a film like this. This is the most original, most pleasant surprise of a film I have seen, quite possibly in my entire life. That’s obviously saying a lot, but follow me here… This movie falls somewhere along the lines of Scott Pilgrim VS The World as far [...]
Now it’s on Netflix – “Goon”
Couldn’t be happier to know that this treasure of a film moved to Netflix instant. Before you get your panties in a twist, let’s establish a couple of things. Yes I am aware this is Sean William Scott. Yes I am also aware that this film is Canadian. And three… it’s a MAGNET production, which [...]
London Boulevard- Chatter Approved
How is it that I stumble upon movies from people I like, directors/writers I like without following the proper paper trail? It would have been so easy for me to type Writer/Director William Monahan’s name into the interwebs, and more specifically the IMDB search bar, to find “London Boulevard.” I could have been enjoying this [...]
New Waterford Girl
I don’t want to say a lot about this movie (but will probably end up writing 3 paragraphs), except that I did like it, and that “Liane Balaban’s” character, ‘Mooney’ Channels a little bit of Natalie Portman in and, in fact, seems to be very Portman-esque overall. is essentially a ‘coming-of-age’ movie that happens in [...]
Must Be Good It’s Monday – “Spork”
I honestly dont’ even know how to review this movie. I’m not sure that there’s anything else like it. In fact… there is nothing else like this film. This is the definition of Independent film done right. What feels like a dark comedy manages to play by the rules of traditional blockbuster hits with a [...]
