A-Team: Reviewed!
A-Team is the greatest movie ever made. Okay, sometimes I get emotional after seeing a truly kickass movie and I have no shame about proclaiming various things the best thing ever, only to have that change upon the next awesome thing I see. However, as of this writing, A-Team is the best thing ever, and [...]
Review: Shrek Forever After/The Final Chapter/4/The one coming out this week
Full disclosure – I have not seen this movie. Everything I am about to write has been gleaned from watching the trailer(s) for this movie, and seeing the bus wrappers on my commute to work.
So, yet once again, we are taken to the land of Far Far Away, and Mike Meyers and Eddie Murphy are [...]
Review for Sex and the City 2: Women in Heat
Sex and the City 2: Old Sex in Dubai: So, from what I gather in the trailers, the 4 Horsewomen of the Apocalypse are heading to the desert, riding camels, and being all sad they picked the wrong soul mate. You know, the whole thing that drove the first movie? They came back and [...]
Now you know.
At one point during G.I. Joe, Channing Tatum gets so upset at the loss of a teammate that he puts on a leather jacket, glasses and rides his Harley past the funeral in the rain.
There is a training montage set to “Bang a Gong (Get It On)”
Storm Shadow’s first line to Snake-Eyes is “hello Brother.”
Croc-Master, [...]
Longer Than 2 Second Movie Review: Wolverine
So Schadenfriend Paul Preston is starting a site to house all of his movie rants and movie-based content. He asked me if I’d like to write some reviews of the summer movies and I decided to take a shot at my own brand of movie-talk which may not be all that special, but it’s been [...]
2-Second Movie Review: Wolf
Just a scant nine years after Michael J. Fox starred “Teen Wolf,” Jack Nicholson made his own mark on the genre with “Wolf,” a film that probably would have been even more successful if it had been considered the third of the “Teen Wolf” trilogy.
Nicholson plays a mousy book editor who is fortuitously bitten by [...]
Netflix play-by-play
Life is simply too short for the hour-long drama. With the exception of Burn Notice and a peppering of Battlestar I don’t do hour-long-drama. I should be the biggest fan of Heroes, but everytime I try to watch that show it seems to be about Sylar sitting in a living room for an hour and [...]
2-Second Movie Review
Movie: WALL-E
Starring: A bunch of robots all drawn with computers. And the voice of the Mac when you tell it to speak something.
Just saw WALL-E on On Demand and just absolutely loved it. Who knew you could tell such a great story through animation and such little dialogue. It’s a great metaphor [...]
Ed Debevic’s Review
On a terrible Sunday afternoon, after a morning of working – it’s important to pick the “right place” to refuel. Since we are working in the River North area, the choices of places to eat are great! There’s Planet Hollywood Gino’s East, Hooters, Some Sushi/Deli, Ed Debevic’s… Too many too mention. Today, [...]
A reason to not see Pink Panther 2 you hadn’t thought of
I’ve loved Steve Martin for years. I believe the years were 1977 to 1991. I’ve seen the trailers for Pink Panther 2 and all I can tell from them is that I was supposed to love some catchphrase about a hamburger from the first one. I added my “PASS!” to the pile and moved on, but Roommate [...]
Even If It’s The Only Movie Playing Right After the Fireworks End And You REALLY Want To See A Movie…
… skip it. It wasn’t good. And for the record, I wasn’t surprised that it wasn’t good — but I was surprised at just how “not good” it actually was. The most entertaining part of the movie happened before the movie even started when the high school aged ticket taker said (after [...]
Upon further review…
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull sucks. Yes, I tried to deny it, and I don’t feel bad for having liked it so much because I was seeing it Wednesday at Midnight and Thursday at 1pm. Completely swept up in the opening weekend. I liked it better the second time, both times [...]
