I am actually embarrassed to admit that I sat down to watch Dance Flick. I never got into any of the silly teen dance films, so what made me think that I would like one of those ridiculous parodies about the same subject? Unlike Scary Movie and a couple of the other parodies that were [...]

Cornucopia of Bad Movie Reviews
March 29th, 2010 
Chris Doelle It has been some time since I’ve shot out a movie review, so I figured I would do one of my buckshot reviews – a lot of little tidbits covering a wide range of film. Not sure if the analogy fits because equating a mini-review to a pellet being blasted from a 20 gauge doesn’t [...]

December 2nd, 2009 Chris Doelle There are a few things that put a guy instantly on guard when it comes to choosing a film to watch. First and foremost – is Sandra Bullock playing the lead? This is usually a sure sign that you are in for a romantic comedy complete with sappy love story and comic pratfalls. From the [...]

October 26th, 2009 Chris Doelle Netflix, combined with a weird sleep schedule, has been useful in allowing me to watch more movies recently. The selections I have watched recently are a bit eclectic – that is what happens when you have a queue with nearly 500 films. Being a longtime fan of Daniel Craig, I was interested when I saw [...]

June 24th, 2009 Chris Doelle I’ve fallen woefully behind in my movie reviews, so I’m not gonna waste any time – let’s jump right in. Since this is going to be a very long post, I thought I would list the ones that I reviewed up front so you can decide which ones you want to read. They range from [...]

May 20th, 2009 Chris Doelle It’s been a while since I did a film review and I figure its high time I went ahead and knocked a few out. I have no choice but to start with the film that surprised me the most. Sure, I knew it would be all that and more when it came to everything that [...]

April 14th, 2009 Chris Doelle Don’t get me wrong. I do love me some old Tarantino – not trash like Death Proof, but good stuff like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. He will be the first to admit though that all of his inspiration for those films comes from great directors like John Woo and films like Ying hung boon [...]
Quantum of Coolness
April 9th, 2009 Chris Doelle I watched Quantum of Solace tonight and have to say that Daniel Craig still remains one of my favorite Bonds – if not THE favorite. One of the few beefs I had with the film is minor when laid side-by-side with the entire 007 movie archive. Bond has always been over-the-top on impossible jumps, explosions, [...]

April 8th, 2009 Chris Doelle I finally saw the 1989 documentary Roger & Me by Michael Moore. I have stated that I am not a big fan of Moore’s. I often agree with his point of view, but find his documentaries a bit over-the-top and hyperbolic. All the extra theatrics and political slanting take away from his credibility and thus [...]

March 23rd, 2009 Chris Doelle Most films are easy to peg. Sometimes the title, maybe the poster, and certainly a trailer, provides clues as to what you have in store. Every once in awhile however, you come across a film that is nothing at all like you imagined. Lars and the Real Girl is just such a film. The story [...]
