A story about "Vantage Point (Single-Disc Edition)"

nobody@allconsuming.net (petabyte) — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 05:31:16 GMT

Vantage Point (Single-Disc Edition)

Half’s gimmicky and interesting, the other half’s dull and predictable. Sigourney looks tired. Quaid is stiff. The scenes where the assassin(s) are in full swing (trans: POTUS getting smacked around) are a lot of fun. Vantage Point manages to be both stupid and cool, depending on when in the movie you decide to pay attention. Recommendation: This flick is good for a second-run matinee or a find in the used video bin.

Why I recommend "Bodypop"

Bodypop

by And One

Bottomline: Only 2 good tracks out of 17.

Got into And One after hearing a few tracks by them on compilations. And One’s synthpop stuff is pretty good. Catchy, snappy, sweet and hard in all the right places. Then someone dropped an EBM comp in my lap and it’s all oooooh ahh. So I decided to snag Bodypop. The album is ok. Half-disappointing (especially after Tales of Synthpop) and maybe-decent, it may be all right for first timers. If you’re on the jaded side best lay off this 2-cd.

A story about "Tonsillitis"

nobody@allconsuming.net (petabyte) — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 09:36:06 GMT

Tonsillitis

I wouldn’t risk self-diagnosis on this beastie. The viral type of tonsillitis, where gargling with warm water, salt, ginger tea, what have you? Perfectly all right. But what if it’s the bacterial kind that’s hit you? Soon as you’re sure you’re not getting better I highly recommend having yourself checked out by the nearest able medical practitioner and start on the antibiotics immediately. Otherwise it’s a week of hell: Not being able to eat, terrible pain in swallowing, your throat hurts all the time. Thick gooey saliva gumming up everywhere. Bad breath. Not being able to breathe at times. Some illnesses just annoy – this one is a sure character builder.

Seriously. At the first sign on tonsillitis, get on it and stomp it out of your system right quick.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

by Andrew Adamson

Made of fail.

The Spiderwick Chronicles (Widescreen Edition)

Too much stuff packed in one movie. The story’s good but suffers from lack of development. Very interesting human and non-human characters – but again, too little time and too many things, oh nevermind. Shoulda woulda coulda. Where Potter and all the other magic/fantasy flicks out there for the 15 and under crowd have accomplished, Spiderwick falls flat on its face.

One-hit wonder Shamalamadingdong strikes again.

The Happening [Theatrical Release]

Wahlberg, Leguizamo and ok, even quirky indie chick Deschanel’s stars dim just the slightest bit in M. Night however you pronounce his surname’s latest yawn-inducing pretentious wankfest.

This guy must be stopped. No more writing, directing, bit of a small role (he thinks he can do everything …wrong!) in what can be barely called “movies”. Movies, from what I understand – entertain and enrich our lives. Pay however much for a ticket, a bag of popcorn, some stale nachos and a supersized drink at the theatre, sit back, enjoy, tell the kid behind you to stop kicking – and gasp and wonder at the beautiful whatever it is that you paid to see.

The Happening barely qualifies in any of the categories that movies usually fall into. It’s not really a thriller nor a drama or anything. You want a head scratcher? Something totally incomprehensible and out-there it gives your brain a workout? Try David Lynch or any of the classic masters. You want your date ruined, your friends to hate you, your folks to disown you? Keep on watching M. Night “movies”.

MV’s not ready for primetime. Heroes writers better get back on track and do something quick before this guy fades away quicker than you can say “that guy that was on that show on tv”, something or other.

Enchanted

by Kevin Lima

Pip the CGI chipmunk’s antics = Awesome! First impression of red alert! this is a musical! ...groan!!! was replaced with wonder and glee (did I just say glee?) as the movie turns out to be not bad. I even found myself clapping a few times. Enchanted is very entertaining. Stick with it, you won’t be disappointed.

The Ruins

Turistas, Hostel, and all the other teens on holiday gone wrong! flicks have a leg up on this latecomer. If memory serves, Disturbia made it ok to trust in teens again. And it was oh, a halfway decent flick at best. The Ruins is joyless, bland, formulaic and straight to bin. Red Hour Films is a right rotten bastard to have wasted everyone’s time. Thanks a lot, Ben Stiller.
