Sneaking Into Shit!

This is Farva. I’m a little drunk… Why am I so drunk? What did I do to deserve this? What the fuck is with the Platypus? I’ll answer some of these soon.Read More

DVD Review: A Single Man

This was not what I was expecting, nor a movie I usually watch on my own, yet it was one of the most moving films I’ve seen all year.Read More

Movie Review: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

Epic Movie Poster!

Before you read any further, I feel you need to know that I waited for half an hour to get into a midnight showing of this movie. I’m a fan of the Scott Pilgrim comics and will be getting the video-game as soon as it releases on the Xbox Marketplace. That said, I’ll try to be as unbiased and straight with you as I can in this review………………………………….

Movie Review: The Other Guys

I wonder what conditioner they use? Their hair is so perfect.

If you appreciate comedy at all, you’ve already heard about this movie. If your religious beliefs forbid you from laughing, let me fill you in. Mark Walberg and Will Farrell star as two cops whose careers are not where they were hoping they would be.  Constantly subjected to the ridicule of the other detectives, including the balls-to-the-wall hot shots played by Dewayne Johnson and Samuel L. Jackson, they’re just trying to get by. The previews show a straight-shooting Mark Walberg trying to deal with a less-than-normal Will Farrell and hilarity ensues. Question is, is it worth your time?

Ok, first of all I’ve got to get this out of the way. This entire movie is less-than-normal. Everyone is a satire on what they’re supposed to be, and the few characters that are supposed to be straight-laced come off looking like they’re in the wrong film. That being said, it’s a great “buddy cop” movie. The dialogue is very funny and I found myself laughing the hardest whenever Mark and Will were fighting. There is an exceptional argument concerning Lions and Tuna that almost made me leak a lttle of the cherry-coke I had been enjoying.

Review : The Sorcerer’s Apprentice

Make this live action? What can miss?

I’m not sure what to think of Nicholas Cage. He’ll put out a fairly average family-adventure movie (National Treasure) that my wife and I can watch in the same room without groaning at the others choice.  Then he’ll crank out a few steaming piles of shit (Wicker Man, Bangkok Dangerous) that make me all but give up on him. Then when I’m not looking, he’ll drop a monster of a performance on me (Kick Ass) and make me worship him yet again. I swear I need Lithium when I go to his films because he causes me to act bipolar.

Thank you Jon Turteltaub for making me believe again. Thank you for bringing back a Nicholas that my wife and I can enjoy together. Thank you for taking a musical cartoon about a lazy mouse with a penchant for fucking with janitorial tools and crafting a movie that I would be willing to pay to see again.

DVD Review: Operation: Endgame

Imagine taking a few “over the hill” actors, a few new upstarts, and a couple of “big time” comedians. Now make them all killers and lock them in a building that will explode within a given time frame and let … Read More

DVD Review: Brooklyn’s Finest

Much like my favorite General Tao’s Chicken, this movie continuously fills you up at first, but you find yourself wanting more substance later. Set in today’s Brooklyn, this tale of interweaving police work is hard hitting and … Read More

Initial Impressions: Limbo

Ok, can someone please tell me who animated this beautiful nightmare of mine? The game opens up simply enough. Press start, look at the creepy world of shadows, watch a little boy wake up alone in the woods, and start … Read More

Deathspanking the Tick?

I love Patrick Warburton. He is my ultimate man-crush. He is one of the funniest actors alive, and he’s the only person I know that can deliver his lines with such a “straight-man” appeal. Every time he makes a movie … Read More
