• Third Moviepalooza Post

  Hi, Will here.  The movie I just saw was Atonement, and I have just a couple of things to say:  First, Keira Knightly she needs some intervention.  The girl is most anorexic person I have seen in a long time.  Secondly this movie is probably the fourth weakest of the best picture nominees. [...]

  Hi there, Will here. I just finished the 2nd movie of our movie marathon, There Will Be Blood, and my initial reactions to be the first time I saw it were confirmed. The characters played by Paul Dano and Daniel Day Lewis, who were the preacher Eli Sunday and oilman Daniel Plainview, were [...]

• First Moviepalooza Post

  Hi, Will here. Just finished watching the movie “Michael Clayton”. Just wanted to say that George Clooney put in an excellent performance and Tilda Swinton did likewise. The ending confrontational scene between them was just amazing. I’ll post some other updates later. Bye. listen

• All I Need

  One of my favorite Steve Martin movies is The Jerk, in which Martin plays the character Navin Johnson, a white man raised by a black family.  Johnson is also a complete moron, who somehow rises to the top of the world due to a simple invention of his, which makes him a multi-millionaire.  At [...]

• Across the Universe - A Short Review

  Across the Universe - The story is a timeless one:  boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back.  The music is also timeless, including some of the best tunes ever written by the Beatles.   The director, Julie Taymor, is innovative and has a great eye for the visual (see her previous work on [...]

  As a recently converted fan of Cormac McCarthy’s fiction (I have read The Road and All the Pretty Horses and will soon read The Crossing) and a long-time fan of the Coen brothers’ films.  I am very intrigued about the upcoming release of  the film No Country for Old Men. Set for [...]

• Best Zombie Movies of All Time

  Pajiba had a link today to a site listing the top 20 zombie movies of all time.  It’s a pretty good list, though I have to object to “Plan 9 from Outer Space” making the cut, and “28 Weeks Later” not.  The link from Pajiba to Retrocrush is below (film clips are included with the list.
