THE LAST STAND: HE’S BACK!!!

Staff Move Review: 21 Jump Street & Argo

February 11, 2013 at 9:26 am / Movie Reviews

21 Jump Street B+ This was a hilarious and refreshing take on the retro-tv-remake-movie. I laughed at nearly every scene, and I was massively entertained by both lead performances. I have always enjoyed Jonah Hill, but Channing Tatum surprised me with some genuinely brilliant deliveries. Argo A+ Argo is winning a lot of awards and it really does deserve it. An extremely solid and interesting script, a masterful (though sadly unrecognized by the academy) directing effort, and a phenomenal cast [...]

February 8, 2013 at 8:44 am / Movie Reviews

Hansel and Gretel, Witch Hunters (2013) GRADE: C- Director: Tommy Wirkola Starring: Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton In this new age, ass-kicking Grimm’s fairytale, Hansel (Jeremy Renner) and Gretel (Gemma Arterton) are guns for hire.

Staff Movie Review: Django & Lincoln

February 8, 2013 at 8:31 am / Movie Reviews

Django: Unchained A+ Django was a perfectly bloody homage to the spaghetti western genre. Setting it against the backdrop of slavery in the south caused for some discomfort among audiences, but I believe effectiveness and originality are at the heart of any great film, and these are qualities present in all of Tarantino’s works. This film exhibits them as expertly as any before. This is also, in my humble opinion, his best dialogue and soundtrack since Pulp Fiction. Lincoln B+ [...]

The Premiere is the End

January 18, 2013 at 9:47 am / Blog

There are countless times when I release a piece of work and I cannot help but wonder whether I am the only one who appreciates or cares to watch it. I joke a lot with my friends that I am probably the only person in a dark room by myself laughing at the jokes on screen or editing miniscule details that only I can see. What if no one ever watches what I make, or what if only 50 people [...]
