Drive By Review: Twilight

What do you get you when you have a small northwest Washington town populated by a Benetton Ad with addtional sponsorship from Crest Whitestrips throw in a vampire "father" that sadistically makes his "children" attend highschool again and again and again and again (although his family are "vegatarians" - so, that's nice, I guess) add a dollop of "sex is so bad, you may very well be torn to shreds and (literally) eaten because of it"?

You get the cringe inducing Twilight.

P.S. Vampires are pretty.

P.P.S. Oooh, look he's brooding!

P.P.P.S. Oooh, look she's brooding, too

Drive By Review: The Dark Knight

"Wow"

The first thing out of my mouth as the credits roled - spontaneously, "Wow"

When someone asks me if The Dark Knight is really that good, I will have to say, "yes, it is that good"

"Wow"



I now return you to your scheduled break from TNTP...

Drive By Review: TRON, Wall-E, 10,000 B.C.

Three reviews today...

Saw TRON (1982, Disney) with Chad at The Castro.

TRON:
Someone thought, "Fluorescent tape. Black light. Computers. Now that would make a cool movie." And they were right. Prescient.

Wall-E:
Leave it the minds at Pixar to make the dusty, cold, barren earth of the future preferable to that of the bloated, technicolor human existence of the Axiom. Brilliant.

10,000 B.C.:
Thoughts going through my head as I watched 10,000 B.C.:
"I'll keep watching because it's got to get better."
"Oh my gawd, it's not getting better."
"Scissors! Must. Stab. Out. Eyes."
"Oh, oh, oh. STOP IT, PLEASE!"
"Why? Oh, why?"
"Nooooo!"

Drive By Reivew: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Dull

I forgot to post my review of Indy IV.

"Eh"

I am going to steal what Kyle wrote about Indy IV, too - it's perfect:

"No one does action like Steven Spielberg and no one tarnishes memories like George Lucas"
