The Worst Branding Ever

I was reading an article in ARS Technica about a drinkable meal called Soylent.  Really???  That's the best name you could come up with?  I'm intrigued by the idea of drinkable foods and meals, but naming something that conjures images of Charlton Heston yelling into the night, "it's people!" doesn't make me want to go "yummy yummy." So if this real, does that mean the apes are going to be taking over soon?

Skyfall - film review

I just saw Skyfall and wanted to know… how do I get that Red Box machine to give me my money back? I’m being superfluous, but not by much. Half of it was your standard action flick and the other half was like watching Masterpiece Theatre. I want Quentin Tarantino to write & direct the next one and to use his suggestion to have it set in the sixties again.

And I want more babes in the next one too!

Killing Them Softly (Film Review)

Killing Them Softly

 
Killing Them Softly is an anachronism.  It does what no other recent films do today: it takes its time to tell a story and develop the characters.  You won’t get a narration explaining everything, or see countless CGI scenes to keep you interested for more than 30 seconds, or even much of a soundtrack from this gritty crime drama.  If instant gratification is your thing, then this film isn’t for you.  But if you’re willing to be patient and pay attention to the story, I recommended you watch this film. It took guts to be involved with this movie, and it was a financial failure, so you won’t see anything this risky again for a while.  

Favorite Line:
Coogan (Pitt): I guess these guys just wanna go to jail.  They probably feel at home there.
