I've already seen the Narnia movie, and nothing else in theaters right now interests me in the least. Having said that, there is yet another movie out based on a video game. The movie in question is entitled "Bloodrayne" and by all accounts the thing is a stinker. How much of a stinker? Well, it […]
Just got back from the last showing of the new Harry Potter flick. I usually go to movies late on a "school night" to minimize the the number of others in attendance -- especially little kids. Usually that translates into sharing the theater with no more than a dozen people. Tonight there were closer to […]
Indiana Pacer Stephen Jackson, who gets paid millions to play a game, has called the new NBA dress code "racist" because it prohibits the wearing of jewelry worn over clothing -- think Mr. T. Jackson voiced no opposition to the bulk of the "business casual" demands in the NBA's new dress code, but he described […]
I just got back from seeing "Serenity." Part of Universal's effort to generate buzz for the flick was reaching out to bloggers by offering an advance screening -- apparently they believe that we have some sway with people who read our sites.

If I'd have known that I might be able to get in to see "Serenity" Monday evening -- four days before it's released -- because I have so much influence and will cause all of you readers to go and see the film. I've been anxiously waiting for "Serenity" to make it into theaters ever […]
I just walked in the door from seeing the last showing of the day of "The Great Raid." It's not quite as emotionally moving as the last great WW II movie to come down the pipe, "Saving Private Ryan," but it's well worth your time to check it out. I'd read a little about the […]
Checked out the new movie "Fantastic Four" at the theater. I did my usual -- going to the last showing of the night. Only about eight people were in the audience, which is nice. The film is fun, but isn't paced very well. It's about an hour and 45 minutes long, but it feels short […]
Peter Jackson, director of "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy is suing New Line Cinema for stiffing him millions of dollars. Slate's Jack Shafer notes that The New York Times violated its own rules on anonymous sources to allow a New Line lawyer to call Jackson "piggish" -- regarding money, not his waistline. It's almost […]
I watched a bit of AFI's Top 100 greatest movie quotes tonight -- if you're interested, the list is here. The list of the Top 400 nominees can be found here. [PDF format] The list is really mixed. Some of the lines are really good -- very quotable and memorable. Others ... well, it's just […]
