I've always been a fan of the "undead comedy" subgenre, and thought this was a particularly good example of it. I've been meaning to post about it for a while, but I'm only just now getting around to it. Anyway ( Read more... )

I'm going to host another one of my opening weekend movie parties, this Time for Harry Potter 6: The Artist Formerly Known as Half-Blood Prince. The usual place.

Watching The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift up for not one but two awards, I could feel my entire civilization's brains dribbling out our ( Read more... )

Well, I went and saw Harry Potter V: The Voyage Home The Order of the Phoenix last night. Frankly, I was a bit disappointed.
