Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009)

 
I have a confession to make. I like to shop and I’m a man. I like to go to the Mall of America and walk up and down the each floor of the mall. Each window that I walk by has something new and shinny just for me, watches, ties, pants, coats, shirts, you name [...]

Hancock (2008)

 
When Hancock came to theatres last July I was in no hurry to see it based on the reviews I’d seen and quite frankly the trailers I’d caught didn’t wow me. So, earlier this week, when my roommate wanted to rent some movies we were both fairly ambivalent about seeing Hancock, but neither of us had [...]

Tropic Thunder (2008)

Like many Ben Stiller-SNL-Judd Apatow movies, the parts of Tropic Thunder are often times better than the sum.  The sum can be encapsulated in one mad-cap sentence: A troupe of jackass actor archetypes, from a heroin addled crass comedian to an offensively Method artiste, attempt to make an ultimate Vietnam epic and instead wander into a [...]

Pineapple Express (2008)

The wife and I hit the town last night and we ended up seeing Pineapple Express (Official Site). 
I have to say that even though I really dislike weed and weed culture, I really like movies by Seth Rogen about bro-love and getting high. I laughed and laughed and almost lost my shit when James Franco [...]

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 [...]

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.

Sex and the City (2008)

You all ready know that I like wedding movies from a previous post. So, it should be no surprise that I saw Sex and the City the opening weekend. What may surprise you is that my wife did not want to go. She went to make me happy. We have move system that enables us [...]

27 Dresses (2008)

Okay. So you’re asking your self why The Soulless Machine is reviewing 27 Dresses. Well, I like weddings and movies about weddings. It is one of my dirty little secrets.
I have a big extended family. I’ve not been able to make all of my cousins’ weddings, I just have too many. However, I made it [...]

The Hoax (2006)

It’s been awhile since I’ve watched a movie worth writing about.  True, I’ve been embroiled in Season 3 of Battlestar Galactica for a couple of weeks which has consumed much of my time, but the movies I have tried to watch have sucked.  Yet, not sucked enough to write about them. So, it is with great pleasure [...]
