The indie romance The Spectacular Now opened wide today and I checked it out. Wonderful movie. Fantastic, sweet, honest, and believable. I highly recommend everyone check it out. It’s basically a teen romance that’s been compared to Say Anything… it’s … Continue reading
Saw The World’s End, the new sci-fi pub crawl movie that’s a spiritual successor to Shawn of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. With great affection, I have to say I didn’t really love this movie. It’s got a lot going … Continue reading
