2007’s Films We Would Watch Again (and some we would not)

by Chris and Kris   ⋅   December 23, 2007   ⋅   Comment now

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 [...]

Gone Baby Gone movie review

by Kris   ⋅   October 27, 2007   ⋅   Comment [1]

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 [...]

TRAILER WATCH . Gone Baby Gone

by Kris   ⋅   October 11, 2007   ⋅   Comments [3]

Oooh, I nearly fell off the sofa when I saw the trailer for Gone Baby Gone. Ben Affleck’s directorial debut takes place in (duh) Boston and stars his super cute little brother (yay yay yay) Casey, who is doing double-duty theatre time with the recent release of The Assassination of Jesse James by the [...]

I know some of you out there might actually care about the mainstream releases this past weekend, and so I toss you these two bones. Given the nature of these two films, I think writing full reviews would be fairly superfluous. So, you get a capsule and a mini. Enjoy.

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 [...]

MOVIE REVIEW . Lonesome Jim

by Kris   ⋅   September 20, 2006   ⋅   Comments [3]

I’ve always held a soft spot in my heart for Casey Affleck, ever since he called Jason Lee a “tracer” in Chasing Amy. As if lines couldn’t get any better, there he was in Good Will Hunting slurring “want a double burrrrger” and “gimme my fuckin’ sammich”. Let us not forget his very [...]

Another Oceans?

by Chris   ⋅   March 27, 2006   ⋅   Comments [2]

Oceans Thirteen is set to start filming July 21st. Yup, it’s not just another fake IMDB entry. This time the film will star Ellen Barkin and George Clooney. Now, I’m as much a fan of The Clooney as the next guy, but do we need another Oceans? Does anyone remember the second one, or the [...]
