Didn’t I write this post?
I was just looking through a file in which I keep “in progress” posts on movies, and I found my partial thoughts on Hayao Miyazaki’s Howl’s Moving Castle, which I watched with The Daughter, oh, quite a while ago. A … Continue reading
Alas, poor Yori! I knew her, Horatio….
Via Cultural Compulsive Disorder, I see this poster for TRON Legacy. It’s a Hungarian poster, actually. Apparently the marketing strategy in Hungary for this movie is a bit different from the one in this country so far: But I also … Continue reading

Obtaining the Unobtainable
The Wife and I watched Avatar the other day. My reaction to the film is still pretty much what it was: I liked it as a well-made, beautiful-to-look-at SF adventure flick. Nothing earth-shattering from the story standpoint, but just an … Continue reading

Krull
Ah, the fine lure of 1980s cheese movies! I loved Krull when it came out, and saw the thing twice. It hit all of my sweet spots at the time. But then, I was 12, and I’ve grown a bit … Continue reading
“Somebody shoot this prick!”
During my college years, my mates and I would have “Movie Nights” on a pretty regular basis. Almost weekly, actually. This consisted generally of movies, pizza, and beer. Worse ways to spend a night, huh? One of our common staples … Continue reading
