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 [...]
DVD REVIEW . A Chinese Torture Chamber Story
Ah, the classic Category III film. Their slew of absurd violence, near always strung together by a nonsensical plot, haphazard camerawork, and out-there acting, really make these an acquired taste — and quite possibly one that is easy to grow out of. For, as much as I have enjoyed the shocking lack of artistry delivered [...]
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. [...]
MOVIE REVIEW . Stacy (2001)
If there’s one thing Zombie films have long neglected, it’s zombie schoolgirls. You would think the loose-socked lot would be a natural host for the zombie apocalypse, given their somewhat valid stereotypes of superficiality, given their youthful self-obsession, blind adherence to fads, and susceptibility to peer pressures, but it took thirty-three years from Romero’s [...]
MOVIE REVIEW . Udon
It’s always sad when a film you’ve waited to watch disappoints. It’s even worse when it bombs. Udon has been in our queue for near three months now, and now that we’ve finally seen it, we have another entry on our list of the worst films we’ve seen this year.
The basic story of Udon concerns [...]
Third Keroro Movie on the Horizon
So Keroro-Movie.net has been revamped to promote the upcoming third Keroro movie, Keroro vs. Keroro.
I don’t know about you, but Kris and I find Keroro absolutely hilarious. While the Manga have been licensed here in the states, I know of no plans to bring the show or films stateside. This new film is scheduled [...]
MOVIE REVIEW . Man in the Chair
To be honest, when I first heard the title, I thought someone had adapted Edogawa Rampo’s The Human Chair. You know, the one about the crazy man who falls for an attractive woman, and then creates and delivers to her a Trojan-chair that conceals him in all his lecherous glory. It was only after reading [...]
DVD Drop-Box . Cougar Club, Nearing Grace, Sun Dogs *UPDATED*
Our second issue of Dreamlogic.net’s DVD Drop-Box brings us two titles from Vivendi Universal: Cougar Club and Nearing Grace. On with the show.
*UPDATE* And one from Palm Pictures: Snow Dogs.
Edit: It has been brought to my attention that Cougar Club is not a National Lampoon’s movie. Not sure where I picked that up, but [...]
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. [...]
The Shoe Fairy (aka: Renyu Duoduo) dvd movie review
Uh-oh, I just discovered that I’m a shoe whore. I’ve always bought way too many shoes, but only recently I’ve been actually wearing them like a girl and not a guy, which means I’m not just wearing one favorite pair until they basically fall apart anymore. Oh what a joy it is to [...]
Bubble Fiction: Boom or Bust (aka: Bubble e Go!) movie review
Given my distaste for any and all things business related, you might wonder why I would have any interest in a film whose primary focus is on Japan’s Bubble economy, and what could have been done to preserve that economic prosperity. Well, what if I told you that that film was also a time-travel-comedy, featuring [...]
MOVIE REVIEWS [In Brief] Ghost Train, I Think I Love My Wife, Wild Wild West
So, this weekend was pretty much taken up with outings in San Francisco and rearranging furniture at home, so I didn’t really have too much time to watch anything particularly new or “exciting”. But, then again, the theatrical offerings this weekend left me a bit cold (no slight to Gaiman, I’m just a bit tired [...]
MOVIE REVIEWS [In Brief] . The Ten, Cool Dimension, The Illusionist, Monster Squad
Summertime house cleaning continues, with the Ten Commandments comedy,The Ten, the female martial artist action film, Cool Dimension, the me-too magician film, The Illusionist, and cult classic, The Monster Squad. Enjoy.
The Ten . A comedy featuring ten short stories, each centering about one of the Ten Commandments, from the guys who brought you The State. [...]
Sodom the Killer dvd review
The name Sodom the Killer (aka: Sodom no ichi), to me, conveys a film promising debauched violence on an epic scale. However, in the case of this film, it couldn’t be farther from the truth. Instead, Sodom the Killer is full on parody of J-Horror’s grudge and occult films, such as Juon and Tokyo: The [...]
DVD REVIEW [Early] . Everything’s Gone Green
A beached whale brought them together. It’s true, in Everything’s Gone Green, Ryan (Paulo Costanzo) the chronically tardy hippie salaryman with the Buddha beads and orca-shaped telephone meets Ming (Steph Song) the leather-clad artistic type at the tragic scene of a gigantic mammal carcass. They exchange some philosophical anthropological banter and part ways, [...]
MOVIE REVIEW . Tokyo Eleven (aka: Tokyo 10+1)
You know, it’s always a shame to see a fun flick torn apart because of superficial reasons. “The film looks ugly because it was shot on DV. I hate DV. The film wasn’t serious. It looked cheap. The acting wasn’t Shakespeare. The people were too pretty. Others were too ugly”… and on and on and [...]
TRAILER WATCH . Sukiyaki Western Django, Jigayaku no uta, Get Smart, and much much more
I figure it’s about time for another round of trailer links. There’s actually a lot of interesting stuff coming up. For the most part, this lineup looks to be a nice break from the summer grind, if I do say so myself.
Sukiyaki Western Django . Most of you probably are familiar with Takashi Miike’s latest, [...]
