Avatar is a game-changer. Just as Toy Story ended hand-drawn animation, Avatar makes 2D filmmaking look dated. The 3D isn't a gimmick but integral to every frame. The plot is simple, the acting excellent, and the whole thing is so gloriously beautiful it nearly moved me to tears.

Five months of hype vindicated: Snakes on a Plane is gloriously, unapologetically awesome. Samuel L. Jackson, snakes, a plane, B-movie clichés cranked to 11. Go see it.

Snakes on a Plane opens today! I can't see it until tomorrow, but I'm excited nonetheless. Snakes on a Plaaaaaaaaaane!

Pirates of the Caribbean was a thin, disappointing soup with historically ignorant Caribbean portrayals. Superman Returns, though, was pure joy: Singer finally got Clark and Lois right, Routh is genuinely believable as Superman, and the flying effects are perfect. I loved this movie unreservedly.

Keira Knightley had an early role as Queen Amidala's decoy in Star Wars Episode One. The makeup was so convincing that nobody recognized her.

Sexy, fun, and surprisingly cliche-free despite being both an action movie and a romantic comedy. Brad is hot, Angelina is hotter, and the whole thing feels deliciously naughty. Two thumbs up for pure fun.

I made a music video mashing up Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow with the Prodigy's "Spitfire" -- the connection being obvious once you notice it. Probably illegal. Definitely fun.

Been too busy living life to blog about it. Good weekend though: Popstarz with friends, a Green Park picnic, and The Bourne Supremacy (dull). Also added a music log to the site so you can judge my taste in shit.

Good popcorn movie with excellent gothic effects and surprisingly decent acting and dialogue. The plot is predictable and fumbles its climax, but the dark mythology is nicely fleshed out and there are some genuinely giggle-worthy moments. Go in with low expectations.

Ignore the terrible reviews. Van Helsing is a gloriously over-the-top monster movie that never pretends to be anything else. Great effects, genuine surprises, good acting (mostly), intentional and unintentional humor, and obscure B-movie references. Leave realism at the door and you'll love it.

Got my DVD copy of Camp this morning. Awwww yeah.

My friend Jamie started a blog. Also, disk space issues are temporarily fixed so upload away. Oh, and that leaked Catwoman trailer confirms the movie looks terrible. Michelle Pfeiffer was way sexier. Also I may be dreaming right now.
