Stephen King and Frank Darabont bring us into a world not that far removed from our own with The Mist. A major (possible tornado level) storm hit a small town forcing Dave Drayton (Thomas Jane), Brent Norton (Andre Braugher), and Dave’s son Billy (Nathan Gamble) to go into town for supplies.
Dave notices a mist rolling in down from [...]
Last night, Soulless Machine and I went to see the Dr. Seuss animated film Horton Hears a Who. I’ve been eagerly anticipating this movie since seeing the previews earlier this year, basically because I have been waiting for a film to do Seuss justice. More recent attempts at live action Dr. Seuss movies have been [...]
Balls of Fury is a crazy bad movie that only lovers of bad movies can enjoy. It is not worth your time unless you have about two hours that you would like waste.
Okay, so what was so bad about the movie? Where to begin? The main character Randy Daytona played by Dan Fogler is an [...]
Convoy is one of my all time favorite movies. I was born in 1976 so I was only 2 when this classic was in the theater, but I have very fond memories of watching this movie on Saturday afternoons (yes, more than one, and very often) with my younger brother and my father.
We would sing [...]
Why yes, thank you, I will be the resident chick-flick reviewer at AOTMW. I think I’m genetically predisposed. I’m also genetically predisposed to love Irish movie Once. It has all the girl friendly elements: good music, romance, and artistry, set against the unique backgrop of Irish street life.
The movie stars real-life musicians (and partners) Glen Hansard and Marketa [...]
Now I’m a fan of Alan Moore’s work, he’s written some of the best comics/graphic novels out there. In fact it could be said that the graphic novel wouldn’t be the genre that it is today without Alan Moore. Having written such works as Watchmen, From Hell, The Killing Joke, and The League of Extraordinary [...]
Ping Pong (2002) is a great movie. I love ping pong or Table Tennis and used to play all the time; however, not at the level that you will see in the movie.Yutaka Hoshino / Peco (played by Yôsuke Kubozuka) and Makoto Tsukimoto / Smile (played by Arata) are team mates on a, Japanese High [...]
I love historical epics, Braveheart, Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven are all quite good. However King Arthur missed the boat by a wide margin. The acting was basically phoned in. I expect a lot more from the likes of Clive Owen or Keira Knightly. Director Antoine Fuqua and writer David Franzoni should be bludgeoned about the [...]
Back in December, my husband and I saw the movie Juno at the suburban mega-movie-opolos. It had been so long since I’ve seen a movie during an actual date night time, that I’d forgotten what it’s like to watch a movie with a crowd. Despite my imminent claustrophobia and introvertedness, I’ve got to say that [...]
I’ve never been one for documentaries. They always seem a bit too didactic or too precious. It’s as if the auteur is saying, Trust me. I know better — you need to notice this. I have enough people thinking for me, so I don’t want it in my movies.
But, Confessions of a Superhero directed by Matthew [...]
