Letterboxd — Your life in film

Even though its tone is all over the place, Super still manages to get away with its cocktail of pitch black comedy, genre satire and compelling drama.

Love him or hate him, Rainn Wilson is the perfect choice for this role. His off beat sense of comedy works really well here, but it is in the smaller, more dramatic moments where I found him to be absolutely convincing. His prayer scene was a thing of brutal, honest, ugly beauty.

In Kubrick's masterpiece, The Past is a figure of powerful manipulation. An all-encompassing generalization of The Past, from the personal journeys we can recollect ourselves, to the countless centuries of human bloodletting and the horrors that "shining" brings upon its cursed person. To say Danny has it harder than Cole in Sixth Sense would be a gross understatement. To shine is to gain a lifetime of overwhelming experiences flushed into the head like a lightning bolt. But the past doesn't…

Brian De Palma has over the years delivered some incredible films. From the savagery of "Scarface" to the perfectly set 20's gangster film that was "The Untouchables" he can hone his craft to different time periods and genres.

Mission Impossible was the first film that tempted Tom Cruise to start a franchise and has so far delivered 3 sequels that have been bigger and better than this original. Featuring an eclectic mix of a cast that included Jon Voight, Ving…

I decided to watch the director of photography commentary on this watch. This is a beautiful movie and there's no surprise that there's a director of photography commentary for it. I've got to say though, it wasn't quite as interesting as I thought it would be, but it is still worth a listen if you are into learning how shots are done and hear interesting stories about how scenes came to be. What was really annoying was that he would…

"Come on, man. Guns, murderers and crooked cops? I was made for this, bro."

Yes, the film is borderline retarded, the acting is horrible and the ending is so eye rolling that I can't see straight, but for some reason I was entertained.

I won't try to safe this film in any way or form, is the worst of the franchise hands down, it feels so unreal and the CGI looks horrible!

Now, with all that said and dusted, I…

I've never been a fan of Star Trek, actually, some hardcore "Trekkers" made me dislike it without even watching a single episode of the tv show or any of the movies. When this new one came out, I not even gave thought or consideration about seing at the theater or anywhere else, I just decided it was bad, and I remained that way until last year when I saw a scene of this movie with my father on TV and…

"The heck ya mean?"

God I love this film. Love it.

I remember hearing about this way back in the late '90s. I don't recall what I heard but I do remember being slightly interested but mostly indifferent since it sounded like it wasn't action packed enough for a young child's taste. Also, I remember thinking that this was about a Postal Service worker--Marge's hat still reminds me of a Postal Worker for some reason.

Now, years later, I'm older…

Sunday Morning Review!

I've been reviewing big, classic films on Sundays for a while. My choice this morning wasn't exactly a "classic" but I'm sure its bound to be a certain kind of classic sometime down the road. A cult classic if you will.

I'm of course talking about the ass kickin, blood sprayin, explosive party of stern mandibles that was Dredd. This under the radar hit from last year set fanboys pants aflame like an incendiary round because despite…

#1 Marvel Phase One Film marathon: 2:00pm

What better way is there to spend a lazy Sunday than tackling a 6 movie marathon? None.

We begin with the first, and unfortunately for Marvel, the best film in the lead up to last years 'The Avengers'; one that wouldn't be bettered let alone matched. Much of that is down to the fact that Robert Downey, Jr. managed to rise up out of his world of a drug induced shit-storm and managed…
