catch up!

live free or die hard - saw this opening night with charles and christine, it did not disappoint in the slightest. obviously some of the plot is a bit ridiculous, but the action sequences never stop and are fucking awesome, and the mac sidekick (of mac vs. pc) is fun without getting annoying. my personal favorite is how john macclane ( Read more... )

a mighty heart

it is a heavy charge to portray a story of such gravity as the kidnapping and murder of daniel pearl. a mighty heart manages to skillfully navigate all aspects of the story, from the personal story of a determined woman to the international climate of the time. it's hard to say which is the larger feat, as they are both done ( Read more... )

crazy loveit's terribly sad that this hilarious and fascinating documentary has received so little attention, it's a total gem. it follows the very fucked up love story of an old new york couple. he was an ambulance chasing lawyer, she was an attractive young girl. they dated off and on for a while and when she broke it off he hired some men to ( Read more... )

invincibleso, my friends (katie and kevin) and i have a 'true sports movie' club in which we watch movies based on true events. the quality varies (i'm sorry but 'rudy' is a bad movie), but 'invcinible' stands at the top of the pile, hands down. mark wahlberg is, of course, fantastic and plays papale so seriously and cautiously. the colors are very ( Read more... )
