Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was one of the funniest films I’ve seen recently, mainly for the sharp dialogue between Downey, who plays a small-time crook that gets mixed up into a Hollywood audition when a robbery goes wrong, and Val Kilmer who plays a Hollywood private detective that’s also gay. Downey finds himself mixed up [...]

Family Plot was Hitchcock’s last completed film as his health declined. Naturally, I watched it first to inaugurate my Hitchcock marathon. It was classic Hitchcock but far from his best work. I was shocked at all the gratuitous foul language. Not sure what it is but I like my classics devoid of any swearing or [...]
I liked Sandler’s Click probably because I’ve been watching way too many of his films lately. I end up enjoying his serious stuff along with the juvenile stuff and all the stuff in between. I actually like this movie because it really showcases all of Sandler’s talents as both a comedian and an actor. I [...]
These past two weeks I’ve had the distinct pleasure of coughing up prodigious amounts of phlegm every morning. I’d get way better once I cleared out the phlegm but it would somehow build up during the night and creep into my nasal cavities. It was really a nasty sight to behold. I guess overwork + [...]
If Unleashed isn’t the first film I’ve seen Jet Li act in I don’t know what is. Jet Li plays a human dog, trained to be vicious when a heavy-duty collar is taken off to attack anything that the master says. With the collar on he is like a little boy with a small vocabulary [...]
This last month was living hell if it ever was one. Let’s see, I’ve already racked up close to 60 hours of overtime and I still have a whole next week for more. There were a couple days where I showed up at the office at 8AM and left 11:30PM. Not to mention I caught [...]
I’ve seen a couple Adam Sandler movies so naturally I’m now an expert. The guy’s probably one of the most under-rated actors out there today. I’ve seen him in Reign Over Me and Punch Drunk Love as well as a couple of his comedies. When it comes to serious drama he really shows a wide [...]
3:10 to Yuma was a good film. Authorities finally capture the notorious highway robber, gang leader and killer Ben Wade played by Russel Crowe. Christian Bale is Dan Evans, a crippled Civil War veteran with one leg struggling to stay a rancher and support a small family. Evans is under the burden of debt and [...]
The iPod touch is now 32GB, at least the top of the line model. I’ve got a 16GB model which is now the middle version a video iPod with 30GB (60 was the max, which is now 80GB and 160GB respectively). It’s hard not to feel shafted when Apple keeps pushing out products that improve [...]
The Italian Job was an entertaining remake or remix depending on how you see the original 1969 version. It was an enjoyable Hollywood heist movie centred around a robbery gone sour after a backstabbing coward reneges on a heist and kills the father figure and mastermind of the group. The stake is $35 million in [...]
