Battlestar Fantastic

July 16th, 2007 · No Comments

I know I’m late to the party on this one, but I just watched the third season finale of Battlestar Galactica, and man was that good. Overall I think the third season was better than the second season, which had a few too many weak episodes, and it cemented Battlestar on my mind as one […]

I Think I Don’t Hate Eli Roth

June 7th, 2007 · No Comments

I was reading this interview with Roth and found myself interested in what he had to say and even agreeing strongly with some of his points. He seems like a likable guy.

Here is something I didn’t know

May 17th, 2007 · No Comments

Out of the top ten highest grossing Japanese movies from last year, four were animated, including the highest grossing one,  Goro Miyazaki's "Tales From Earthsea". It's not like the US doesn't have it's own share of high grossing toons (Shrek anyone?), but I'm still always surprised by how popular home grown animation is in Japan. […]

I’ll Take Kristen Dunst Movies that Don’t Suck for $200 Alex

May 14th, 2007 · No Comments

I happened to catch “Bring it On” on cable a few days ago, and I have to say, that movie was actually really good. Not quite top ten movie of the year good, but still very, very good.
Who would have thought, right? A Kristen Dunst movie about competitive cheerleading that doesn’t suck.  
What “Bring […]
