Jiu Jitsu
I gave this flick a shot because (like many people, apparently) I was suckered in by the trailer. It looked like a big goofy corny ball of kung fu / sci-fi fun. The kind of thing that you can laugh … Continue reading

She Dies Tomorrow
Rented (on iTunes) the new high concept heist flick Money Plane. Despite the similarity in titles, not a sequel to Money Train. Also, despite the similarities to other heist films, a far cry from anything you might consider smart, sly, … Continue reading

Brahms: The Boy II
Also wasted my time on the new low-ambition, low-energy, repetitive, redundant horror flick Brahms: The Boy 2. A particularly awkward title to a sequel to a fairly lame creepy doll horror film from a few years ago. That movie (The … Continue reading

Beach Bum, The
The new theatrical release The Beach Bum stars Matthew McConaughey and is written/directed by weirdo indie film maker Harmony Korrine. If you don’t know him, it’s best to summarize him as a guy never interested in commercial film making. Or … Continue reading
