Snakes on a PlaneCampy in all the right places, serious in others. Sam Jackson fills the screen with his presence, and he was right: this movie isn't bad-funny, it's funny funny. It revels in its own premise, it knows what it is, and the filmmakers had a good time making what turned out to be a pretty good brainless summer action flick ( Read more... )

Little Miss Sunshine (2006) (Trailer)You may've heard of this little movie, but chances are just as good that you didn't. I had seen some posters, but didn't really look into it until yesterday when Nina and I were looking for a movie to watch for our "date" night. We watched the trailer, checked out its RottenTomatoe score (91%), and decided to go ( Read more... )

Well, once again it's been quite a while since I've posted. Things are a tad crazy around here, and the few and far between moments that I have to relax, I usually spend watching VH1 or playing a game, rather than coming on here to a place that is, essentially, a record of my relaxation time.

Alright, so I've got a double-dose of movie review goodness, and I'm going to do it quick because I have to get back to work. (I'm on a short break, deciding to work on July 4 since I'm working from home anyway).

Superman ReturnsOf course I had to see this one. Newcomer Brandon Routh is a charming Superman, and I say that thinking it's unfair to ( Read more... )

CarsSo I watched Cars this weekend. I have a lot of faith in Pixar, and despite my relative disinterest in the film as I've seen it marketed so far, I figured I owe it to them to give them a shot ( Read more... )

Pulled from my Newsvine review of The Rub Rabits:
Despite the fun qualities of the game, the length makes it unworthy of a purchase. If you can head down to your local video store or use a service such as Gamefly, the manic madness and bizarre minigames is worth trying out. Rent it, rub it, and return it.
Score: * * *

Kingdom Hearts 2 (2006)
After writing a fairly extensive review in my column on Newsvine, I'm not feeling particularly inclined to go on at length about Kingdom Hearts 2. Suffice it to say it's better in all significant ways, and a necessary piece of plot exposition to those who enjoyed the first game. The gameplay could've used a twinge more depth ( Read more... )

So my birthday was Saturday (April 8th), and so I have quite a bit of stuff that happened this weekend. First on Friday, Nina and I went out for a nice meal followed by a movie.
