    As expected, this was so damn fun to watch – and what a killer soundtrack (my early 90s represented). I’d say it only becomes a bit less interesting during the last half hour, when there’s less laughs and too much action – didn’t find much joy in watching extended brawls with the “invaders.” In fact,…

    What is it with black and white films shot in NYC? As cringe-inducing as the main character can be – I winced my way through the dinner scene – there’s so much to like here. My favorite sequences are the tracking scenes where the camera is following a character walking or running for an extended…

    I just didn’t like this. I wanted to like it, and thought that the Japan setting would make for an interesting film, but I didn’t like the story, and the action sequences did absolutely nothing for me (except for the fight on top of the Shinkansen). You can tell it was shot here, and most…

  • Savages

    I’d sort of been avoiding this movie because I hadn’t heard great things about it, but found myself in a mood for something like it a couple of weeks ago, and you know what, I had a pretty good time watching it. I’m sure going in with low expectations helped, but I did like how…

  • Silver Linings Playbook

    Well, everything that has been said about how good a film this is is deserved. Enjoyed the fuck out of this – although, yes, I’ll admit that I’ll watch pretty much anything with Jennifer Lawrence. Definitely not your average romcom – it’s too weird for that, and too interesting.

  • Orange Is the New Black

    I’d been wanting to watch this since it first came out, and I’ve finally gotten around to it and I’m really loving it – definitely one of my favorite shows this year. I’m about halfway through the season, and it just feels like it keeps getting better and better. Can’t recommend it enough, and I…

  • The Walking Dead: 400 Days

    Finally got around to playing the 400 Days DLC for The Walking Dead game (on iPad), and it’s definitely just as good as the rest of the game was. Really liked the fact that I was playing through all these tiny vignettes. Just makes me that much more excited to play the second season, that…

  • The Purge

    This is better than you would think. The premise is a bit hokey, but the tension is great, especially once the “invaders” make their appearance. Ended up having a good time watching this, up to the end. Doesn’t beat The Strangers though in terms of creepiest home invasion film.
