Holiday Movie Guide

Get Ready Movie Fans, It's Shitember!

Books:
24. Jack Cross: Love Will Get You Killed by Warren Ellis and Gary Erskine: One of Ellis's CIA/Spy stories. Good and violent.
25. Griftopia by Matt Taibbi: A lot of the book is recycled from Taibbi's Rolling Stone articles, but there's additional information and he ties it all together. Taibbi does an incredible job of explaining the ( Read more... )

81. The Girl Who Played With Fire: Sequel to The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Still not entirely sure if I like these, in part because I'm still not entirely sure whether the portrayal of the main character is incredibly sexist or not ( Read more... )

38. A Nightmare on Elm Street: All the classic scenes are ( Read more... )

Robin Hood: Prince of Teabaggers? 

28. Clash of the Titans: Kind of a Van Helsing type thing. If you go in with reasonably low expectations, it's pretty enjoyable ( Read more... )

Cataloging movies I've seen lately is the first step out of the ennui that's gripped me for the past couple weeks. Or at least that's what I'm telling myself.

22. Shutter Island: Nice little thriller.
23. A Single Man: Great acting and good story, but the ending is a bit gratuitously ironic.
24. The Bounty Hunter: Anniston and Butler are good ( Read more... )
