The politics are subtle enough that you might think it's only an action flick. But there's also values and other junk like that, too. And as far as the "life of a 7.62" opening sequence goes, if I had an award to give it, I would. Time: 15 seconds. Categorized as: Movies and Reviews

Directed by Terry Gilliam My Advice: Matinee. It's the early 19th Century in French Occupied Germany. Two brothers, Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm (Damon and Ledger) make their way across Europe, helping out villagers who are plagued with beasties, witches and spooks of all sorts. Well, sorta. Really they're mining Jacob's knowledge of European folklore and going to where the legends say the beasties, witches and spooks are--because chances are very good they'll find superstitious people there willing to believe anything (like, for example, Kansas) and thus, willing to pay handsomely to have their fears dispatched. Because there are people willing to pay for such services, the Grimms are justified in their minds to relieve the people of the necessary coin. Only what if it's not all just heebee jeebie bullshit? What if there's a forest somewhere in France where Some Really Weird Shit is actually going down? And what if they were...compelled (psst--it involves being on the wrong end of guns) to go there?

Oded Fehr is Israeli, okay? Not Hispanic. Seriously, what the hell? Time: 9 seconds. Categorized as: Movies and Reviews

08.12.05 by Widge @ 1:42 pm  The name of the movie is The South Will Rise Again. And the title is brilliant because it is a Southern zombie comedy. The trailer is up on their site. Go watch it now. I laughed until my right asscheek fell off. Categorized as: Movies

08.03.05 by Widge @ 9:31 am  Justice is served. David Manning, as you might remember, was a fake film critic created by Sony to help them promote films that were essentially crap. Although I actually appreciated The Patriot. But the good news is if you found yourself unwittingly a pawn in their game and shelling out dough to see Hollow Man, Vertical Limit, A Knight's Tale, or The Animal in cinemas, they owe you. Next...Deuce Bigalow. Found via Boing Boing. Categorized as: Movies
