Food, Inc.

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

Food, Inc. is a disturbingly inspiring shock-umentary (documentary) on the U.S.’s current food system. It exposes how many of the foods we see today are controlled by a few major companies. It discusses the capitalist means that they go to to control the flow of those foods. It also shows the conditions in which these foods are created. One of the most disturbing things were the extent that they will go to keep most farmers under their money-fat thumbs.

If there were ever a movie that I would suggest watching, it would be this one. Why you ask? (more…)

Review: Quarantine

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

Quarantine is a horror film directed by John Erick Dowdle and starring Jennifer Carpenter that was released October 10th, 2008 here in the US.

The movie is about a film crew that follows a team of firefighters to a call in an LA apartment complex. Upon arriving to the unit in question, they are attacked by the woman in question. She has a zombie-like mannerism; unresponsive, moans, aggressive behavior, chases and attacks usually by biting. Upon biting someone, that person becomes infected. This is a spin on the traditional “Zombie Flick” in that they say that the infected have a mutation of rabies.

Review: Bangkok Dangerous

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

Bangkok Dangerous, more like Bang-cock Dangerous-ly bad.

A movie about a hitman that decides to train his delivery boy as his successor.

Not only was the acting horrible, the action scenes were weak and it seemed like an old man trying to do action scenes. Not to mention the entire plot lacked any cohesion.

Ok, I like plotless action movies sometimes but not where the lead falls in love with a deaf girl and 20 minutes of the movie is acted out in sign language and then never goes anywhere. Finish it all off with a balding guy trying to look cool by growing what hair he does have out and dying it black.

Don’t see this in the theater. Don’t rent it on DVD. Don’t even watch it on CBS one day when you are sick and have only one channel to watch.

Review: Clone Wars

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

This movie rocked! If you are even remotely a small Star Wars fan I am fairly certain that you would enjoy this. This movie takes place between episodes 2 & 3 and is about the Jedi trying to gain an alliance with Jabba the Hut. It had quite a few huge battle scenes. The animation was excellent and the animators did an excellent job of creating the character textures, environments and action sequences.

Review: Hell Ride

Hell Ride
 

This was a great, must see movie for Tarentino fans. I am not sure what his level of involvement was, but it was very Tarentino-esque.

The movie was about two motorcycle gangs that had a long-time fued that was going to be settled. It had a bunch of nudity and violence and many flashbacks.
