Est. 1998
I love every single Farrelly brothers flick. There, I said it. Wait, did I say āloveā? Thatās actually not true anymore. āStuck on Youā aināt crap on a stick, but I unfortunately donāt love it either. Like the brosā previous outings, itās got much good spirit and heart, but it just aināt that enjoyable. Walt (Greg Kinnear) and Bob Tenor (Matt Damon) are conjoined twins…
Movie Infos Title: Adaptation Year: 2002 Director: Spike Jonze Writer: Charlie and Donald Kaufman “I don’t have an original thought in my head. I am old. I am fat. I am bald. I am repulsive. I have never lived. I blame myself. I –“ Thus begins our descent into the neurotic psyche of Charlie Kaufman, a Hollywood screenwriter who’s adapting Susan Orlean‘s “The Orchid Thief”…
I love great, transcendent cinema (obviously), but I also love watching good old movie-movies. āRaging Bullā? Genius. Rocky IV? Dumb as a brick, but ridiculously entertaining! In other words, I was totally psyched to see Sylvester Stallone don the Italian Stallionās trunks one last time, for my own guilty pleasure. I expected the film to be ridiculous, which it kind of is. I expected it…
Afterschool (Antonio Campos)92Fuck. Mike DāAngelo wasnāt kidding. In less than three minutes, this movie has already just about perfectly encapsulated in one little montage of various footage how, in this era where seemingly everything is being filmed then streamed online, every aspect of the human experience, from the cutest (a baby giggling, a cat playing piano) to the most sordid (Sadam Husseinās hanging, porno actresses…

(random thoughts) love love love pain pain pain forget the painā¦ forget the love? Ok, so where do we start? This is one of those elusive movies that are utterly original, brilliant and complex. I can easily see myself writing thousands of words and not nearly be done with it, but what good would that do? Further down the line, a rambling, chuck-full-oā-spoilers piece might…
This independent hit movie is good, real good. Itās about a guy who broke up with his long time girlfriend 6 months ago. Now, he lives in LA. With his swinging buddies, he tries to find work and love. Whatās great about this film is that itās totally original. Usually, in Gen X movies, the characters are losers, clerks, mallrats and other misfits with no…
Whether you like his movies or not, youāve got to be impressed by Robert Rodriguezā drive. In barely a decade, heās written, produced, directed, etc. two whole trilogies (not to mention From Dusk Till Dawn, The Faculty, the best of the Four Rooms and the made-for-TV āRoadracersā). Iām personally fonder of his āEl Mariachiā flicks, but the Spy Kids movies have been fun tooā¦ until…
Hereās an odd film: a heartfelt, sweet and funny little story about a coming of age better late than never, itās also the disturbing tale of a pathetic gay sociopath and the man he stalks. Odd blend for sure, sort of like āForrest Gumpā meets āThe Talented Mr. Ripleyā. Mike White (who also wrote the script) stars as Buck, a funny looking 27 year old…
That corny title, the fact that it starsĀ Robin WilliamsĀ and the boy from the “Spy Kids” movies, the sentimental opening narration accompanied by syrupy music… At first, I was like what the hell, didĀ Bobcat GoldthwaitĀ really write and direct this Disneyfied tripe? Of course, that impression only lasted about two minutes, after which I was hit by the barrage of foul language, sexual kinks and various instances…
