A while back I posted a bunch of videos from Red Letter Media which comprised a 70 minute review of The Phantom Menace. He’s back with an 18 minute review of Avatar, and while his quick wit, and strange-sub narrative are present in these videos as well, the review itself misses the mark in a [...]

The Best Movies of 2009
I have loved movies since I was a kid, and in the summer of 1989 my buddy Ryan and I saw every flim that opened except Honey I Shrunk the Kids and Return of the Swamp Thing. That summer I decided I wanted to make films for a living. I went to school for TV [...]
70 Minute Review of The Phantom Menace
Okay, we all know that The Phantom Menace was a bad movie. But WHY was it a bad movie? This dude explores the minute details of what sucked over the course of seven 10 minute clips…and they’re fascinating, while still being funny (inappropriate, curse filled in some points, but freaking hilarious).
Movie Review: Avatar
This has been a big year for movies. There was a lot of really good stuff. Star Trek set the bar of how good Sci Fi could be and rejuvinated a tired franchise. The Hurt Locker set new standards for what tension could be. Inglorious Basterds reinvented the war movie. UP showed us that even [...]
Movie Review: This Is It
Michael Jackson is my generation’s Elvis Presley. We grew up with his music, and for many of us, his songs are the soundtrack of the 80′s. I remember in grade 6 when Ms. Hutchinson gathered us all on the 2nd floor to watch the brand new Michael Jackson video for Thriller, and how it made [...]
Summer Movie Review Blowout
I’ve actually managed to watch quite a few summer movies this year, and other than Star Trek, I haven’t mentioned any of them. So this is a quick blow out review list of Wolverine, Fast and Furious, Up, The Hangover, and Drag Me To Hell. I’ve still yet to see Terminator Salvation and Transformers 2 [...]
Movie review: Star Trek
I love a good science fiction film, and in the last decade there have only been a handful of really great ones. I also love the original Star Trek series, not enough that I know trivia, or would die if I ran into Leonard Nemoy or anything (though I would go mental if I met [...]
I watched the Watchmen
Today Char and I got to catch a matinee of Watchmen, and it was… Watchmen, for those of you who don’t know is the adaptation of a 12 issue mini-series produced by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons in 1987 (and available on All New Comics as a softcover and hardcover edition). It is about big [...]
Movie Review The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Char and I were able to get out to a movie this evening (thanks to the stellar babysitting services of my Mom and Dad), and we caught The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which I’ve been wanting to see since the first trailers were released nearly a year ago. David Fincher is a great director, [...]
Movie Review: Hellboy II The Golden Army
The first Hellboy movie was a good film. It had spectacular visuals, it had a good protagonist, it had cool villians, and it told a decent story. It wasn’t great though. For all of the “good stuff” about it, there was something missing. I feel this way with all of Del Toro’s movies (although Pan’s [...]
