Borat the movie! Trailer now online!

Kris and I love the Ali G Show. Love it. Sacha Baron Cohen’s humor is tip top. His last show to film translation was the wonderfully funny Ali G: In Da House. But, as much as we love Ali G, we felt the film could have used more Borat. Now, Borat has his own film. [...]

Sustainably Fried Chicken?

There was a van toddling down the highway that proclaimed it contained ”Sustainably Fried Chicken” which lead my mind to wander as usual.  How can you fry sustainably?  Is it the method?  Do they mean the oil?  Is it made from no-antibiotic free-range corn-fed birds crisped up in Certified Organic GMO-free soybean oil (although peanut oil is usually [...]

Kibakichi // Sukeban Deka: The Movie // Kekko Kamen: The Movie — movie reviews — capsulefest

Kibakichi – A werewolf/yokai/chanbara fantasy, Kibakichi is the tale of a lone werewolf/swordsman (name found in title), who finds a job in a town run by human munching Yokai. These Yokai don’t eat just any humans, mind you. Just ones with vices – say gambling, or sex. In fact, they have an agreement with the [...]

Bad Day for Ducks and Deer

I just want to take a breather from the political and entertainment reviews and just ask for a moment of silence. Although maybe some of you or maybe many of you are not animal lovers or do not own a pet, you must know that sometimes Nature can be hecka cruel.
This morning while downstairs [...]

Infiniti and the Fat Lady — Separated at Birth

Chris said he thought the rear view of the Infiniti RX45 resembled a rotund woman’s tushie. It didn’t bother me much until I found myself stuck behind one in traffic and felt sorta grossed out, desperate to switch lanes!
Well I thought that might be a fun little “look alike” project, but when I tried [...]

The Guard from Underground — movie review

Poor Miss Narushima. On her first week at a new job, she is sexually accosted by her new boss, informed that her department will soon be eliminated, she gets trapped in the creepy storeroom and is stalked by a giant (albeit welterweight at best) ex-sumo wrestler turned security guard with a penchant for wearing [...]

Nacho Libre movie review Screener!

Nachooooo! If you loved Napoleon Dynamite, you’ve probably been waiting forever for Nacho Libre’s premiere. Written and directed by Jared Hess of ND, Nacho shares all the quirks of it’s predecessor with the same offbeat antics of a fantastic duo and upbeat message of “do the right thing”. Only in a Jared Hess film would [...]

Fast and the Furious 3 Tokyo Drift movie review screener!

She Said:
So I wanted to see Fast and the Furious 3 because a) it’s in Tokyo and I haven’t been there in ages b) Chris does a mean slide that will evolve into a scary drift when the popo are at bay c) what the hell, it was free. Should I also mention that I [...]

Watch Escape from Alcatraz on Alcatraz Island!

One of the coolest screenings Kris and I ever attended was Friday the 13th part 3, in 3-D, at midnight, on Friday the 13th at the Alamo Drafthouse in downtown Austin. These guys know how to screen cult films. As cool as the Castro and the Red Vic are, they’re not even playing in the [...]

Lucky Penny 24-hour Diner // restaurant review // California

Tired of all the posh snobbery and “clean” places to eat in the City? Want a place that’s just as gaudy on the inside as on the outside? Check it out: pastel “Easter” pink with marshmallow peanut orange trim opens up to cracked leather turquoise booths. Ooh, appetizing already. Chris and I had [...]

MOVIE REVIEW . Running Scared

Who woulda thunk? Who woulda thunk Running Scared would be such a fun rush. When Chris first asked me to watch it with him, I just blinked at him thinking he meant the Gregory Hines/Billy Crystal movie with the same title, except in my mind it was the Gregory Hines/Baryshnikov movie and I was [...]
