Paranoid Park movie review screener!
Poor timing dealt from inopportune situations, that’s Paranoid Park’s premise. Highschooler/skateboarder (not necessarily in that order) Alex (sweet-faced, eternally Zoo York clad newcomer Gabe Nevins) went out to “see the freaks skate” at Paranoid Park (oh, you know it’s Burnside) one night in order to drown his own almost all-too-aloof adolescent angst (parents’ divorce, [...]
Trick: The Movie movie review he-said-she-said
HE SAID:
I’ve been promising this one for near four months now, and Christmas Break seemed as good a time as any to finally get this done.
When it comes to theatrical turns by popular television shows, the result more often than not leaves both fans and newcomers oddly unsatisfied. Oftentimes these assume a too-high familiarity on [...]
2007’s Films We Would Watch Again (and some we would not)
So it’s time for another go round of Dreamlogic.net’s “Best o’ the Year Picks”. For those who aren’t familiar, this is basically our list of favorite films for the year. These are not necessarily films that are of high technical or artistic merit, or those which have received major critical praise. Instead, this is [...]
Dororo movie review
Let’s get this out of the way. I loved Dororo. I thought it was a whole lot of fun. In fact, I found it far more fun than any of the summer films I’ve seen all year. If that’s enough of a recommendation, by all means stop here and go find yourself a copy. However, [...]
Michael Clayton movie review
I don’t think I’d have much respect for George Clooney if he had remained a fluff celeb cashing in on his devilish smirks and self-effacing clever humor. Instead he ambitiously strives to pursue political platforms, balancing entertainment and ethics. (We share a birthdate, along with Freud and Rudolph Valentino, thinker and feeler respectively, [...]
Wristcutters: A Love Story movie review
Chris and I saw the quirky black comedy Wristcutters: A Love Story nearly a month ago, but at least it’s not out in wide release across the country/globe just yet, so this is still pretty early, hehe.
“When there is trap/ set up for you/ in every corner of the room”.. oops, sorry. [...]
Ginger Spice Iced Cookies munchies recipe
Ginger is so Autumn, doncha think? The warmth of fresh Fall spices really inspire the soul and tempt the palate.. why, the very mention of it causes me to spout jenky poetry, apparently.
These Ginger Spice Iced Cookies are so soft and chewy and gingery that someone better stop me.. I feel a [...]
Gone Baby Gone movie review
Things are never what they seem. Scratch that. People are never what they seem. Abusive parents media-broadcasting fibs (one woman microwaved her infant last year, recent forensic details disproved her previous alligator-teared account), crooked cops, dirty drug dealers, pedophiles… who’s left to trust? Good thing in a small town (inhabited by [...]
Sam and Max Season 1 videogame review
As I’ve stated before, I don’t usually write about video or computer games, but I’ve found another that I have to say something about. You see, I was a huge adventure game enthusiast back in the day, and Sam and Max Hit the Road is easily one of my favorite adventure games of all time. [...]
Anime Foundationals . 13 Anime Films that are too cool to miss
I’ve been meaning to write this for quite some time, but it took an article from Twitch (and my being way too busy to see any new films this week) to spur me to actually put this list down on paper.
Now, whatever your opinions are on anime, there’s no doubt you harbor a few reservations [...]
YouTube Find . Tarantino Vs. Jan Wahl
If you live in the Bay Area you’ve probably heard of film reviewer Jan Wahl, or even had the misfortune of catching her weekly segment on the KRON 4 News. The woman is terribly uninformed, thickheaded, loud, stupid. I can’t stand her. I don’t know how many times she’s mangled the names of alleged favorite [...]
Murder Party movie review he-said-she-said screener!
Murder Party
SHE SAID:
Somewhere there is a man who looks like Chris Elliot, but you will actually care if he dies. Chris Sharp plays Christopher S. Hawley, a totally blah, totally random alprazolam-popping traffic cop whose sorry socialization solely involves interactions with his cat. One Halloween, when the battle for the armchair is again lost to [...]
Severance movie review
It’s no secret. The American horror scene is all but dead. The ultra corporatization of the horror film has stuffed our cineplexes with remakes, sequels, and tired “re-imaginings” on a near weekly basis. Take The Hills Have Eyes 2, Black-Christmas, Hostel, and Rob Zombie’s upcoming empty-headed Halloween remake for instance. The British horror [...]
Ten “Grindhouse” Films Worth Watching
With the arrival of Grindhouse in the theaters today, a lot of lists are coming out with “Grindhouse” films recommended by professional critics. Some of them are actually pretty good. But, for the majority of them, if you look closely at the lists, you’ll realize the recommenders never actually saw the films listed. Some of [...]
Japanese Spider-Man
With all the excitement over the latest Spiderman film, I figure we might as well drop a post on the old Toei production. It’s spiderman with the usual wall-crawling and webslinging, but with the added bonus of motorcycles, mechs, and a killer soundtrack. Back when I was about five or six years old, my parents [...]
Best and Worst Films 2006 *UPDATED*
We’re back again with our best and worst lists for the year. Once again, our criteria for Best Film status were the films that we truly felt we would watch again. For the nitpickers out there, some of the pictures listed played in their native countries at the tail end of 2005, but weren’t seen [...]

As always, feel free to post your list below. On with the [...]
