Last week, an earthquake ravaged the greater Washington area (the ground shook a little bit and I think a mailbox may have fallen over) and the good citizens of Rockville, Maryland were aflutter the next morning, visions of Roland Emmerich’s latest apocalyptic masterpiece (prophecy???) fresh in their hearts and minds. While this unprecedented catastrophe (the earthquake, not the Emmerich movie) sent the uninformed masses running frantically to consult the nearest Mayan calendar, I was merely inspired to dust off my 2012 DVD.

IT CHANGES COLORS
LIKE THE CHAMELEON
IT USES THE JUNGLE
Thrill as we blabber incoherently on the following:
- Inception – IMAX, speak up Ken Watanabe, is it all a dream (and does it even matter?) – spoilers ahoy
- Predators – Brodychest
- The Social Network – the evolution of David Fincher, director of the music video for Paula Abdul’s “Straight Up”
- The Room – meeting Tommy Wiseau
- M. Night Shyamalan’s Neckbeard Army
- Machete – we demand more Jeff Fahey
- Steven Seagal vs. vampires!
- the dearth of decent Nazi Zombie movies
- Zack Snyder makes a crazy owl movie
- You can’t see the eyes of the demon until him come callin
Get ‘em while they’re hot!

Review: Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

Here’s the main problem with Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time – it’s already been done about as impeccably as can be done in its 2003 video game incarnation. The movie never comes close to achieving the greatness that that game achieved; then again, Sands of Time is quite literally one of the ten greatest gaming experiences ever, so failing to reach so high a bar isn’t so bad for this movie.
What Sands of Time the film is, however, is a serviceable action-adventure that lasts too long and relies too heavily on very ugly CG and up-close camera angles. READ MORE!
Review: Kick-Ass
Matthew Vaughn has crafted the best superhero movie this side of Watchmen in Kick-Ass. The movie’s tone is all-at-once hilarious, relentless and violent in all the right ways.
Dave Lizewski is your average comic-book nerd dreaming of something better. He spends the movie narrating for us in much the same way Jesse Eisenberg’s Columbus guides us through the rules and wackiness of the world of Zombieland, or the Fight Club-style lecturing and posturing of James McAvoy in Wanted. Dave is a mere socially inept nerd and nothing more. By his narrative’s admission, if you’re looking for clichéd tales of vengeance for the death of a loved one, you’ll have to look elsewhere.
