I'm an old, miserable fart set in his ways. Some of the things that bring a smile to my face are (in no particular order): Teenage back acne, the rain on my face, long walks on the beach and redneck women named Francis. Oh yeah, I like to watch and criticize movies.
Why, oh why, do I do this to myself? I must be a glutton for punishment as that’s really the only way to explain my reasoning to watch the remake of The Amityville Horror. Where should I begin. I knew this movie had to suck ass before my wife and I sat down to watch…
I’ve finally given in. No, not to the dark side (unless of course you speak to my wife), rather I’ve finally given in and decided to watch Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. After the first two prequel debacles (“Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace” and “Star Wars: Episode II…

Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous. A mildly entertaining movie (of course). Ms. Bullock reprises her role as FBI agent Gracie Hart. The dressed down, seemly stupid…
I went into this movie knowing full well D.E.B.S. was going to be at best a close second to that shitfest “Elektra.” But, I had to take a chance on chicks with short skirts, thigh highs, and the chance of lesbian make-out scenes. I’m a man, damnit! However low my expectations were, I was still…
Wow. Another comic book . . . err, I mean graphic novel to movie adaptation. Which one am I talking about now? Sin City of course. An obscure graphic novel by the man who single-handedly made Batman cool again — Frank Miller. Although, most of the latest comics to movies have sucked ass (see “Elektra,”…
