Bio: I like all kinds of movies, with a slight bias towards comedies, thrillers, geeky shit (sci-fi / fantasy / superheroes), and James Bond. Outside of movies I like politics, cats, Mexican food, retro video games, and New York City. I dislike lizards, peanut butter, and Lars von Trier.

61 The Landlord - Mar 21, 2010
Mini-Review: I chuckled a few times, which justifies watching a two-minute internet short. Still, as far as internet sketch comedy goes I prefer The Lonely Island and Derrick Comedy.
64 The Ghost Writer - Mar 20, 2010
Mini-Review: A watchable enough thriller for most of its duration with one of the most hilariously tacked-on "we couldn't think of anything else" endings I've damn near ever seen. I was having flashbacks to Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Nonetheless, it's entertaining enough to recommend if you like a good conspiracy flick with a political gloss to it.
31 She's Out of My League - Mar 19, 2010
Mini-Review: It's occasionally chuckle-worthy when the main guys are riffing, but that doesn't come close to excusing some of the worst, shallowest characterization I've ever seen. The female lead is this utterly flawless sex-on-legs goddess who loves our protagonist for absolutely no discernible reason, and one of the worst-written characters of this or any other year.
55 Cop Out - Mar 14, 2010
Mini-Review: Maybe I'm a little fucked up but unlike the critics and most of the internet I can't muster up any real ire for this movie. Not to say that it's good exactly, but the premise is basically just "watch John McClane from Die Hard and a cop version of Tracy Jordan from 30 Rock hang out" and I was down for that.
60 Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief - Mar 14, 2010
Mini-Review: Very bland and bloodless filmmaking (much like the first two Harry Potters, from the same director) but I dunno, I didn't hate it by any means. A few neat action scenes, some magic spells, Rosario Dawson shows up looking super fine. I probably would have loved it if I was fifteen years younger.
68 Green Zone - Mar 13, 2010
Mini-Review: A little preachy, but an otherwise solid little Iraq War thriller. Judging from my fifty-person opening Friday night audience I predict it's going to be a huge bomb, but I kinda liked it! Props to Jason Isaacs on his mad chameleon skills; I absolutely did not recognize him at all and was befuddled to see his name in the end credits.
71 A Nightmare on Elm Street - Mar 12, 2010
Mini-Review: It's rough and raw and its ending absurd even for this type of film, but it has a certain zest and creativity, and Freddy is a much, much more interesting and entertaining slasher villain than Michael or Jason. Also, young Johnny Depp!
63 Dare - Mar 11, 2010
Mini-Review: Indie drama about high school kids discovering sexuality; extremely trite subject matter somewhat salvaged by admirable awkwardness, getting a bit unexpected demented in the final act, and Zach Gilford's extremely strong performance.
54 Give 'em Hell, Malone - Mar 11, 2010
Mini-Review: Unapologetically schlocky private dick pulp painted in the broadest imaginable strokes with wall-to-wall cliché. However, I believe that's exactly what the filmmakers intended, so that's not necessarily an insult. It's too dumb and derivative to take seriously as a work, but it certainly passed the time. Shitloads of violence.
51 The Truth About Jane - Mar 09, 2010
Mini-Review: Pretty trite. If it gives comfort to some closeted teenage gay out there I guess that justifies its existence, but as a boring ol' hetero I found nothing to connect with here.
