MOVIE REVIEW – FINDING NEMO 3D
I’m the first to get cynical when it comes to 3D re-issues, reboots, remakes and all that. But Pixar movies are timeless, and I think should be back in theaters every five years or so, 3D or not.
THE MOVIE GUYS REWRITE: BLADE RUNNER
Ridley Scott’s neo-noir, cyberpunk vision of Los Angeles in 2019 is one of those touchstone filmic environments that is so imaginative and so fully realized onscreen that it immediately transports you into its reality. Would it were that something more memorable happened there.

Is this the best movie ever made? Well, the great thing about movies is that arguing what the best one of all time is can keep you arguing until you pass out. But this is certainly my favorite, hands down.

This film plays out like a quality western without the old west.
THE DARK KNIGHT RAISES (QUESTIONS IT CAN’T ANSWER)

Prepare for old people sex. Meryl moaning, crotch shots of Tommy Lee Jones. Just don’t say I didn’t prepare you.
TITLES THAT MAKE YOU GO, “UH?”
I started to ponder about stupid movie titles — titles that are quite odd or that don’t seem to know what the movie is they’re representing.
