The film Kick-Ass was released a little over a year ago. A tale of a comic-obsessed teen who decides to don a mask himself and fight crime, it sounds like something I would have loved to flush two hours of my life down the toilet with. Only I didn’t, my […]
Back in 2005, NBC put a titanic push into promoting their new comedy, The Office. I knew nothing about it at the time other than: 1. It was based upon a British show by the same name and 2. I wouldn’t watch it because obviously the British, who, by default, […]
Last week it was my friend Richard’s birthday. I wanted to do something nice for him because he’s one of the few people I know whose heart isn’t a ball of carrion which bleeds rattlesnake venom, so I figured I’d take him to a movie. The problem is, Rich’s taste […]

I watch a lot of movies because I’m an asocial homebody and they do all the living for me. Why play sports when I can just watch Major League or Raging Bull? Who needs to go out and party when Risky Business does it better than I ever could? Besides, […]
Ridley Scott has had an extremely prolific and successful career as a director. The man is responsible for Alien, Black Hawk Down, Gladiator (and, Thelma & Louise, strangely enough), just to name the highlights. Sure, he also made G.I.
