Dan in Real Life

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007

...probably the best romantic comedy I've ever seen. Dethrones Hitch for this title. :D

DVD Hack

Friday, October 5th, 2007

I'm using Netflix lately. I was using Blockbuster Online for a while because of the free rentals with an envelope, but there are only so many movies in a store (and hours in the day). Lots of Netflix DVD's have scratches on them. I don't get it. What are people doing ...

Cult of Scientology

Thursday, May 17th, 2007

BBC's Panorama recently did a segment on Scientology, Which you can watch here (it is in 4 parts, that is the first part). This, combined with how crappy Mission Impossible III was, has pretty much convinced me that I'm done watching Cruise movies until he is done with Scientology. Some other interesting ...

VHS -> DVD

Saturday, February 24th, 2007

I now have the setup to convert VHS to DVD, so if anyone is interested, I can do that.

Studio Ghibli

Tuesday, February 6th, 2007

If you haven't seen any of these guy's movies, they are great. Every one I've seen anyway. My favorite is Howl's Moving Castle, but I haven't seen them all. I'd really like to see Miyazaki and Pixar do something together (besides the Pixar intro to all the special editions of the ...

Miracle at Oxford

Wednesday, January 17th, 2007

Not a great screenplay, or very good acting, but there are lots of (I may be exposing how much I have forgotten) well done crew (i.e. rowing) scenes.

Stranger Than Fiction

Tuesday, November 14th, 2006

great movie... If you liked Dustin Hoffman in I ♥ Huckabees, his character basically returns in this movie... I love the Literature Professor who has taught a class on basically anything you can think of, and reads Sue Grafton through a plastic bag while lifguarding at the university pool. Strangely Firefox renders the ...

3 Movies

Sunday, September 17th, 2006

For the first time in a while I'm looking forward to some movies coming out... Fearless starring Jet Li Casino Royale starring Daniel Craig (looks like a different feel for a Bond movie? Maybe just wishful thinking, couldn't be worse than Pierce though...) The Departed starring Jack Nicholson, Mark Whalberg, Matt Damon, and ...

Before Sunrise

Saturday, September 16th, 2006

Sorry Thomas and Charlene... here is my review: Before Sunrise is My Dinner with André with a much less interesting conversation and a slightly more dynamic background. Before Sunrise is like reading the blog and all the comments in that blog of a person in an emo band.

Musa the Warrior

"5-Stars" --Dwight Knoll I'd put this right behind Hero and in front of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon as far as this genre goes...

Brick

Thursday, September 7th, 2006

Anyone see the movie "Brick"? I think I may have liked it during the time that I thought that things I did when I was in High School mattered.

Not so Dumb…er

Monday, August 28th, 2006

Lloyd Christmas: "What are the chances of a guy like you and a girl like me . . . ending up together?" Mary Swanson: "Well, that's pretty difficult to say." Lloyd: "Hit me with it! I've come a long way to see you, Mary. The least you can do is level with ...

Is it just me…

...or is the Iranian President that guy from Office Space?

Title Goes Here

Tuesday, August 8th, 2006

And Universal Pictures' "Miami Vice," the top film last weekend, took a steep fall in its second weekend. The film dropped an estimated 62% to $9.7 million. The film, which cost an estimated $135 million to make, has returned $45.7 million thus far. Universal is a unit of General Electric ...

Marilyn Hotchkiss Ballroom Dancing & Charm School

Saturday, July 29th, 2006

Interesting Film. I saw it with Sir Robert and Johanna last night. The flashback scenes in the movie are actually from a short film of the same name by the same director and writer.

Pirates of the Caribbean II

Tuesday, July 25th, 2006

I liked the first one... the second one is scattered and boring. Maybe it will be better once the second half shows up, but I cannot comprehend why such a shoddy movie is breaking so many records.

If you ever hear me…

Monday, July 24th, 2006

...trying to tell someone who is in a movie, and I just can't think of who it is, and I keep saying things like "He was in that Fatboy Slim music video" or "He was in Privateer 2" or "He was in one of the Batmans" ... just walk up ...

Crichton vs. Grisham

Sunday, July 16th, 2006

I really like Michael Crichton's books, but every single movie made from his books are horrible (Jurassic Park was alright as a movie, but having read the book, I expected much more. Every other movie has caused me physical pain.) John Grisham's books are alright, but the movies made from ...
