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 [...]
Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009)
Twilight – follow up
I went to see Twilight last night. I wanted to see what had motivated filmsatyr to compose a treatise on the film. filmsatyr focused on the Twilight’s rendering of vampires and how vampires and other monsters have devolved into nothing more than angst ridden super-sexed objects of desire.
I fully agree with filmsatyr. I have nothing [...]
Twilight (2008)
So, I went and saw it JUST so I could review and explain my opinion of this genre.
I did not, and have no plans to read the series of books partly because I am not a teenage girl, and these books were written with that target audience in mind. So, let’s begin with the movie [...]
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 [...]
Step Up (2006)

Step Up is a fun and [...]

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 [...]
