Wall-E Review

Posted in Film, Pixar, Reviews on June 29, 2008 by Aaron Garretson

Wall-E, big pimpinI don’t know what I can really add to the already heaping praise, but I will say that Wall-E is a flat out masterpiece. One of the more poignant sci-fi movies to come out in a long time. And it’s a fucking children’s movie!(?) I don’t want to go into detail on the plot, because this thing is much better going into it without knowing anything. All you need to know is that Wall-E is a robot and he falls in love with another robot, EVE, and that’s where the film truly shines. Read more »

[rec] Review

Posted in Film, Reviews on June 18, 2008 by Aaron Garretson

P

[rec] is a very interesting film. It’s a spanish language horror film, filmed with handy cam, and takes on the not-zombies genre. I know, it sounds lame/cliche , but it is very well done. In fact, as I sat through it, I was looking for moments that didn’t make any sense, and I can’t really recall any. Quite unheard of. Now, this review may contain some spoilers for those of you who want to go in knowing nothing, like I did, and I highly recommend it. So, skip over the next paragraph if you really want to stay spoiler-free. Read more »

Every Time Paul WS Anderson Touches A Property, An Angel Gets Aids

Oh, man. Where do I begin? How about how he raped the Resident Evil franchise by making up plot lines and characters that don’t fit with the games. I know he’s said several times that they exist separate from the games. But if that’s the case, don’t use characters from the games. You tarnished Jill Valentine and the Nemesis, and it looks as though you’re about to tarnish Claire Redfield, who is being played by none other than Ms. Chiklit-Teeth herself Ali Larter. Seriously, can this woman ever close her mouth? Every time her character appeared on Heroes, I just wanted to kill myself; but, I digress.

This latest installment, based off the teaser trailer, looks to amp up the action and zombie-age prerequisite singer turned actor/actress, in this case Ashanti. These reasons alone make me want to avoid this turd. It could turn out to be mindless fun, I can at least admit that, but I thought that about the second film RE: Apocalypse, and that is hands down one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. I’m not exaggerating, it’s that bad. I can think of nothing from that movie that would make me re-watch it, besides the girl who played Jill. Not bad, I say.

Watch for yourself. Don’t say I didn’t warn.
