Ponderings For 2008-09-29
OK, three more reviews added today, 2 newer and one older. I hope to keep them coming for a while. Bear McCreary continues his impressive posts to his official blog. This time, he’s doing an interview with genius composer Bruce Broughton, relating it to his …

Ghost Town (9/10)
This is a surprisingly fun romantic comedy, featuring a great cast and a rather good script that somehow manages to put a slight spin on a tried movie formula. Writing: Writer/director David Koepp tries his hand at the romantic comedy genre, with success. Having written …

Lakeview Terrace (7/10)
While I’m a fan of writer/director Neil LaBute, this wasn’t my favorite of his films. It’s certainly entertaining enough, I guess, but it falls into a few too many genre trappings to work completely. One other problem this movie had was a trailer I’d seen …

The Bank Job (9/10)
I’ve mentioned numerous times during reviews of mindless actions movies starring Jason Statham that I really do like him as an actor, it’s just that he continually picks action movies that are actually dumber than the one before. Crank was one of the worst movies …

OK, I think I’ve got the server issue squared away (fingers crossed) RIP: Paul Newman Well deserved congratulations go out to the many folks involved in SpaceX’s Falcon 1 rocket and its successful launch as the first privately developed rocket into orbit. After three disheartening …

Charlie Bartlett (9/10)
This is one of those odd and charming indie films that moderately breaks through into the main stream. In this case, I think it’s primarily for the cast involved, and the somewhat easily marketable story. Writing: There no doubting the low key, indie mentality of …

Ponderings For 2008-09-24
This site may continue to be a bit flaky for a little while. I’m having problems with the server that hosts this site, with it crashing once every day or two. I’m trying to narrow down the issue, but until then, there may be some …

Ponderings For 2008-09-22
You’ve gotta check out this hilarious (and very impressive) editing work to create Robocop vs The Terminator… Here’s episode 1, then episode 2, then the trailer for episode 3. Looks like my new AT&T U-Verse service will be making a jump from 2 to 3 …

The 60th Annual Emmy Awards
So, just finished watching the Emmy Awards a bit ago. Overall, a decent enough show. I didn’t get a chance to put together my list of predictions this year (I started to, but didn’t get very far). The major failure of the show was in …
