Made of Honor

I remember it well. When Patrick Dempsey stepped into the interview room, neatly dressed in a black, smart casual suit, it was as if the air was suddenly electrified. I was supposed to interview Dempsey for the movie Enchanted, but all I could think about as he approached the table was, “OMG, he’s going to [...]

The Happening is happening (No spoilers)

<– New York comes to a standstill when word goes out that the city is out of coffee.
Damn. Eyeris stole the headline of my post right out of my mind. Next time must type faster! If you’re wondering what in the world the headline means, it just means this: 85% of it is good.
With M.Night [...]

Grace is Gone

I heart John Cusack. So, naturally I’m incredibly biased towards the man. Besides my other favourite paramour Robert Downey Jr, Cusack just acts a storm. I simply like everything he’s done (Grosse Pointe Blank being my absolute favourite next to 1408), so when I saw Grace is Gone at my local, uh, supplier, I got [...]

Goodbye Heath Ledger

Woke up late today. Watched a couple of TV episodes. Choked down barely edible breakfast. At 2pm, stumbled out of the apartment, half starved, to the gym. At the gym after an unhealthy lunch, while chugging on unenthusiastically on a elliptical trainer, I saw on CNN this headline: “Life cut short”. And a series of [...]

Cloverfield: Early, non-spoilery cryptic first look

 
Yes, I saw Cloverfield.
I’m still not sure how to react. I’m stunned. Flumoxxed. Weirded out. Well. How do I put it? It was certainly different.
But never fear. I will not spoil you with anything. In fact, Cloverfield is the kind of film where the less you know, the better it is.
 
One thing. It’s such a [...]

No internet for 3 days!

No, this is not the usual Streamyx complaint. This is a community message for those who plan to watch Cloverfield:
Do not surf the Internet or search for anything relating to Cloverfield because some dumbass person leaked the pictures of the Cloverfield monster!!!
This poor unfortunate soul – ME – was researching for an article about [...]

Reasons not to be TOO excited about Cloverfield

Despite the headline of this post, I’m one of bazzilions who can’t wait to see what the heck is behind the destruction of New York City in Cloverfield. Is it
a) Godzilla, but with better CGI?
b) an angry, 30-foot lawyer? (Doesn’t that shadow in the poster look like a guy in a suit?)
c) giant clovers from outer space?
 The [...]

Watch Night Watch!

It took me forever to watch Night Watch. The not so official copy of it sat in my cabinet for years before I finally watched it. The first few scenes of the movie – it seemed so irreverent. Not how I like my fantasy. But something possessed me to pop it into the DVD and [...]

Review: American Gangster

Look at my fries and you’ll get a bullet between the eyes.
Ah, good ol’ Denzel Washington. He can’t seem to do wrong. Okay, except for Deja Vu, but when Denzel is in a movie, expect acting gold.
American Gangster has that in spades with Denzel and the ever-reliable but grumpy diva Russell Crowe sparring in [...]

I am Legend – spoiler free review

Humanity has basically screwed itself over by creating a virus that killed off 90% of the world’s population and turned about 9% of the rest into rabid creatures I dub “zompires” (cos they’re like a combination of vampires and zombies!).
Robert Neville (Will Smith) is the only survivor in New York city and tries to [...]
