OH MY GOD I LOVE HER SO MUCH. OH MY FUCKING GOD I AM SO HAPPY. See? I toldja. 🙂 I am in love. That’s all there is to it. I am in love with my own arm. In my humble opinion – which is, at this time, admittedly not too terribly humble – Lisa did… Continue reading Matt’s first tat

Review: LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD
Re-posting this review from 2007, one of my favourites. Somehow, I never mentioned Timothy Olymphant once by name; but, the rest of the piece, I really like.
Review: PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: AT WORLD’S END
Arrrrrrrh Wars “Are there pirates? Is the Pope Polish? You bet your sweet ass there are pirates. There are pirates overflowing every single frame of this movie. There are good pirates, bad pirates, friendly pirates, sexy pirates, sleazy pirates, clever pirates, stupid pirates, tall pirates, midget pirates, men pirates, women pirates, monkey pirates, white pirates,… Continue reading Review: PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: AT WORLD’S END
STANDOFF (2006)
Two men meet in a field for a fight to the death… using stands.

Review: TITANIC

As the release of James Cameron’s seventh feature film drew towards us in 1997, I had heard all the horror stories, seen the (rather irritatingly) vague trailer, read the Time Magazine article about the sinking ship… Continue reading Review: TITANIC
Review: BATMAN BEGINS
My Life Is A Nightmare I’m still not convinced that the world needs Batman. Batman is, at his core, the superhero world’s finest fascist, a dark-clouded cowboy riding through the hills of urban America with a might-makes-right moral imperium that makes him, part and parcel, almost as dangerous as the villains he hunts. The “almost”… Continue reading Review: BATMAN BEGINS
Review: REVENGE OF THE SITH
Triumph of the Whills Revenge of the Sith is about as good as it could ever have been possible for this movie – being episode three of these Star Wars, and also (not coincidentally) the long-storied episode in which The Bad Shit Goes Down – to be. And Episode III’s fabled history is an important… Continue reading Review: REVENGE OF THE SITH
Review: INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE
Forgive me. With Indy 5 coming towards us, I had no choice but to look at my own writing archives, and resurrect this rave from 2003. Twenty years ago! Little has changed, save (I hope) my skill.
Review: INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM
Forgive me. With Indy 5 coming towards us, I had no choice but to look at my own writing archives, and resurrect this rave from 2003. Twenty years ago! Little has changed, save (I hope) my skill.
