Amateur Super Heroics sometimes involve nightsticks

This is no way to get things going if you are going to pick up Amateur Super Heroics.  In fact, I might suggest that this looks like total failure.  This is the climax of issue one of Kick Ass (soon to be a major motion picture in theaters from Lions’ Gate).  The basic plot...

Review: The Dark Knight was Rubbish when compared to District 9

August 16, 2009
By NiteMayr

If Sharlton Copley is not up for an Oscar for best actor this year I will be very disappointed.  Eric Bana deserved on for his jocular killer in Chopper, Russel Crowe deserved on for his steeley eyed racist in Romper Stomper and Edward Norton deserved on for his Nazi-sympathizing lead in American History X. As...

Why nostalgia isn’t good for movies

Why nostalgia isn’t good for movies

Sigh, yet another top ten list on Digg.  Every day another list.  Crappy Top Ten lists (except for cracked who seem to have a good handle on such things) are thick on the ground these days and getting thicker.  Why bother with a substantive article about 80s nostalgia and the vagaries of movie production...

If I was making a Modern Highschool Romantic Comedy…

I finally turned on the Genius Bar to make some playlists this weekend, it took ages to scan and can my collection; but in the end I was happy with the playlists it was creating based upon songs I picked in my library.  Driving home listening to one of these lists I wondered, if...

Red Band Trailer for Jennifer's Body

July 7, 2009
By NiteMayr

I liked Juno and think that Diablo Cody is a talented screenwriter (A la Kevin Smith); so I’m not about to let the negative connotations that some reviewers hold for Ms. Cody’s work turn me away from her new Horror Flick. Never mind that Meghan Fox stars as a Demon Possessed High...

How I knew that in the end "Star Trek" wasn't a Nerd Flick

June 11, 2009
By NiteMayr

Somehow, all the familiar characters of the old show get themselves instantly put in charge of the bridge of the flagship of the Federation fleet. This does not compute. –PZ Meyers After reading an early review that expounded upon the majesty that was an utterly silent space battle I screwed my Nerd Protection Gear into place...

Nothing Can Kill Chev Chelios

Right-Click and Choose Save As: HERE Finally got to see Crank High Voltage.  This unrecognizable mess is Statham in heavy makeup on fire, proving nothing can kill his Hitman-Superman.  I’ll have to sit down and compose a proper review someday soon.
