MOVIE REVIEW . Memoirs of a Geisha

Over the Christmas weekend Kris and I attended showings of Brokeback Mountain and Memoirs of a Geisha. Having been reading the book for the past few weeks (I tend to read three at a time), and Kris being exceedingly busy with her new work, I decided to tackle the Geisha film myself. What follows was [...]

Sex & Fury movie review

Relesed the same year as Toho’s Lady Snowblood, Toei’s entry in the female-gambler period piece sub-genre of Sukeban (translated “delinquency”) shares more than a few similarities with that landmark film. In Sex & Fury Reiko Ike plays Ocho, a gambler/thief in late Meiji era Japan. Saddled from a young age with avenging the wrongful [...]

Lube Sheep Tupperware

Uh-oh, I’ve been putting leftovers in this.

MUNCHIES . Munchies the Sharing Chocolate

These things are cute! Imagine Rolos but in addition to caramel goop, there’s a biscuit bit in the center, and instead of being cylindrical, they’re cubic. Just like a mini Twix. They come stacked end to end in a long rectangular package with a request: SHARE ME. Of course it’s so [...]

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Happy Holidays from Chris and Kris at dreamlogic.net! We’ve been pretty busy with end-of-the-year shtuffs so just wanted to quickly say Merry Christmas, Kwanzaa, Ramadan, Hanukkah, etc.. ! :)

MOVIE REVIEW . [CapsulePalooza] From Aeon to Zebraman

These past sixteen weeks have been insanely busy for me. A semester of Java, Discrete Math, Calculus and American History more than put a damper on my free time (I’m proud to say I passed all classes with flying colors). What I’d like to do is to present a few quick blurbs about films we [...]

MOVIES . The New World Slideshow

The film Kris and I have been looking forward to the most out of any film this year would have ot be Terrence Malick’s The New World. Being fans of The Thin Red Line, which is easily one of the most beautiful and poetic films of the past decade, to say we were excited about [...]

Paramount Acquires Spielberg’s Dream

Just as the headline says.. Steven Spielberg gives up his “dream” to become an official employee of Paramount as he hands over his rights to Dreamworks, the power triad he instated with Geffen and Katzenberg. With it goes the ~835 million dollar debt. Under new big boss Viacom’s contract, he and Geffen need [...]

MOVIE REVIEW [SCREENER] . King Kong (2005)

Come see costars get clobbered while the main characters defy gravity and all physics in Peter Jackson’s rendition epic of King Kong! Why, they survive a stampede and avalanche of not one, not two, but a bunch of brontosaurii, not to mention a swarm of freakishly giant lampreys and insects! Naomi Watts as [...]

MUNCHIES . Coffee-like Coca-Cola Blāk

France will be First of Many Key Markets to Launch in 2006
Atlanta, December 07, 2005 - The Coca-Cola Company today announced that it will launch Coca-Cola Blāk in January in France, the first of several countries – including the United [...]

Gay cowboys pack the houses in San Francisco

So I’ve been promising to take Kris to Brokeback Mountain since she first covered the story back when we were writing for Filmrot.com as Gopher and Kitten. Well, such promises proved void and null this weekend as ever single showing, morning, afternoon, and night, sold out at the Embarcadero theater in San Francisco. Though we [...]

MOVIE REVIEW . Cutie Honey

In Cutie Honey the movie, Go Nagai’s android super-heroine blasts onto the big screen. Although the material has certainly undergone a de-smutification when compared to Nagai’s 1973 source material, Cutie Honey is still a cornucopia of cheeky humor, hyper-colored visuals, skin-tight suits, and seizure inducing action mania. With a slap of the heart-shaped button on [...]

MOVIES . Silent Hill Teaser

The Teaser for Christopher Gans’s adaptation of the Silent Hill games is up. I don’t know about you, but Kris and I are pretty big fans of the Silent Hill games. I actually remember skipping a play rehearsal for an English class (don’t ask) just so my buddies and I could beat Silent Hill 2. [...]

Doppelgänger movie review

Let me remind you that Yakusho Koji (Tampopo, Charisma, Memoirs of a Geisha) is much more than a pair of walking cheekbones with a ‘fro. He possesses the ability to simultaneously emote strength and warmth, intelligence and naïveté, charming fragility with weight-of-the-world endurance. This is why he’s perfect in the role of Michio [...]

MUSIC REVIEW . Curve . Doppelgänger

Yah, I won’t be the first to admit that Curve can be a wee-bit um, redundant, or do I mean consistent? Their shrieking wall of guitar fuzz, insistent bass, 120 minimum bpm, Toni Halliday darkly throating the epitome of whine-rock lyrics. And nevermind their internal bickering, their demise wholeheartedly encouraged by copy-cats like [...]

MUSIC REVIEW . Sea and Cake . Nassau

Call it “variations on a theme” that leads repeat listenings of Nassau, Sea and Cake’s second album. While each song is unique, you might swear you’ve just heard a tune on repeat for they all share the jangly-to-fret-tickled guitar of Archer Prewitt, the energetic basslines of Eric Claridge, John McEntire’s wacky tropical percussion and [...]

MUNCHIES . Cadbury Flake Chocolate

I saw this oddly wrapped stick (not heat-sealed, just twist-closed ends) on our trip to New Orleans and again in Seattle. Well, it’s dang hard to miss, it’s hazard yellow. I passed on it in LA, but took a chance on it in WA, imagining the colder climate would prove a better buy. [...]
