The Dark Knight

By Ryan Livingston / July 20, 2008 / Comments Off on The Dark Knight

Hype… things get hyped up… a lot. Just look at sliced bread… it’s the paradigm standard we hold everything to. “Is such and such better than it?” Yet by itself nothing to look at. What does this have anything to do with The Dark Knight? Absolutely nothing. However when a film like this comes about,…

Lord of War

By Ray Macula / March 9, 2006 /

A New Nicholas Cage? I’ve seen a good number of Nicholas Cage’s films in my day, most left me wondering exactly who in their right mind would cough up 10 cents to produce those stinkers. There were exceptions, of course; “Con Air” comes to mind, as does “Gone in 60 Seconds” but most were just…

Monty Python Does European Fables Terry Gilliam of Monty Python makes yet another unique movie in The Brothers Grimm. Heath Ledger and Matt Damon wander the country side of Napoleon dominated Europe “ridding” small towns of their “ghosts” and “witches.” It just turns out to be a coincidence that all these creatures they vanquish happen…

RED EYE

By Ray Macula / September 29, 2005 /

Or Terror Takes Place In An Entirely Different Movie Good grief, there is no end to crappy movies, even ones which have a budget large enough to pull a third world nation into the black. Cillian Murphy plays the most unconvincing mercenary/assassin ever to rob you of a $6 movie ticket (which appears to be…

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (2005)

By Ryan Livingston / June 2, 2005 /

Unlike most geeks, I read The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy late in life – 24. But I read it and I was glad. Then I learned Douglas Adams was no longer with us, and I wasn’t so glad anymore. Then I heard he’d been working on a screenplay that would be made into a…

The Village

The trailers for this movie had me all worked up and ready for grotesque tail about evil little things that went around eating people and the inevitable war that would engulf all the…
