In Bruges (2008)
In the interests of proper representation, lets review a non-comicbook related movie…
“Shoot first. Sightsee later.”
Two Irish hitmen take a vacation in Bruges, Belguim… antics ensue, film at eleven.
This movie takes you on a beautiful visual tour of the most well-preserved medieval city in the whole of Belgium. Our story follows Ray and Ken (played by Colin [...]
X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)
Warning! If you are looking for a positive review, please keep looking.
I did not have high hopes for X-Files: I Want to Believe. I went in with very low expectations that should have been easily meet. I guess that joke is on me. Not one of wishes for the movie was fulfilled.
I truly want to [...]
Hmmm…
I was reading this article about superhero movies in the NY Times, which was appropriately damning and deep about the genre, and they mentioned a Green Hornet movie. Apparently, the guys who brought you Superbad are writing the movie, with Seth Rogen set to star as the Green Hornet and possibly Stephen Chow (of Kung Fu [...]
Watchmen (2009)
“Who watches the Watchmen?”

This is a holder for my eventual review of the film.
Another Open Letter to Aaron Eckhart
Okay, I’m sorry. You didn’t ruin Batman. In fact, you were a very good Harvey Dent. Just don’t do it again.
Sincerely,
Your Renewed Fan, 9 to 5 poet
The Dark Knight (2008)
I am not sure where to begin with this movie. This will most likely be the first review of this movie on this site. So will just share what I think of the movie and allow one of my more eloquent reviewers give a full synopsis. Well, first thing first…it is brilliant. This is not [...]
Justice League: The New Frontier (2008)
In a word: Awesome.
I’m always a fan of movies that stay true to the original story. I read the tpb editions of DC: The New Frontier a few months before the dvd came out on the advice of a friend who swears by this story as stongly as he does the work of Alan Moore or Frank [...]
El Laberinto del fauno (Pan’s Labyrinth) (2006)
“What happens when make-believe believes it’s real?”
This was the tag-line for Guillermo del Toro’s beautiful fantasy, translated for Western audiences as “Pan’s Labyrinth”. I learned of this film several months in advance and actively made every effort to ensure that a) I knew where it would be shown in my city. b) All my friends knew about this movie too. I [...]
HELLBOY 2 THE GOLDEN ARMY
This is the second movie about the characters created by Mike Mignola. Guillermo del Toro once again take the helm of this franchise. The movie is beautiful to look at. Like Pan’s Labyrinth the fey and other mythical creatures do not look fake or computer generated (George Lucas please take note). [...]
