BSG, through season 2. Well, I just ran through a crap ton of Battlestar Galactica. I watched the miniseries about 5 years ago, and while I enjoyed it, at that time I didn’t have easy access to season 1 and therefore never ripped through it like I did this time. For those of you who […]
Total Recall (Trailer 1) Due to my harsh treatment of the teaser, I felt I needed to feature this one front and center. Plus, now that I have lots of footage with plot point examples, I can actually talk specifics. At first glance, director Len Wiseman’s Total Recall is a mix between The Fifth Element and […]
The Hunger Games, the new blockbuster directed by Gary Ross, is a surprising big budget picture that, unlike most popcorn films today, has a point to it other than making money.

So it all has come to this. The winningest program in college basketball history against the second winningest. Guido versus opie. The best freshman versus a scrappy bunch of less talented (although still incredibly talented) “upperclassmen”. So why don’t I care? This is the culmination of the NCAA Men’s Basketball season. After months of preseason […]
Monday Alcatraz – I really enjoy the violinist serial killer. Young Sam Neill jazz game! I dislike how the go-to coming-out-of-a-coma move is for something to lie perfectly still. Boom, close up on just the eyes. pause a beat. boom, open eyes. boom, cut to black. thats overplayed. Tuesday Justified – Dude running for Sheriff is […]
Harakiri (1962), directed by Masaki Kobayashi, Spine #302 of the Criterion Collection What a great film in which tradition and ritual are questioned while we audience members are confronted with our own emotions and views on morality. This is accomplished by a layered story that is slowly revealed through multiple character perspectives as well as […]
