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, [...]
DVD REVIEW [Early] . Ebola Syndrome
Hot off the heels of the success of The Untold Story, Herman Yau and Anthony Wong teamed up for their first Wong Jing production, Ebola Syndrome. Outdoing The Untold Story in near every aspect, including violence, gore, language, nudity, and all around political incorrectness, Ebola Syndrome has become something of a legend in cult film [...]
MOVIE REVIEW . The Heavenly Kings
A determined Daniel Wu walks at a heightened pace through a modern building’s corridor towards a fated elevator. As he puts on his most serious face, info screens à la Power Point cut in, informing us that in 1995, the Hong Kong music industry revenue was $1.68 billion, and in 2005 even though 40 [...]
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 [...]
MOVIE REVIEW [SCREENER] . Aachi & Ssipak (aka: Achi-wa ssipak)
Aachi & Ssipak has no shame. The Korean animation touches upon almost every taboo subject and exaggerates it, which can make it comical for some, perturbing for others. They got yer violence, drugs, bondage, and something you don’t see too often in cartoons: poo. In fact, the entire plot revolves around the [...]
MOVIE REVIEWS [In Brief] . Pervert!, Dust Devil, Frankenhooker
I had some pretty nice capsules for El Topo and Pistol Opera, but unfortunately I seem to have misplaced them. Well, these capsules of Pervert!, Dust Devil, and Frankenhooker will have to suffice. Read on, cult film lovers, read on.
Pervert! - This has been getting quite a bit of notice in the cult film [...]
ANIME REVIEW . BoBoBo-Bo Bo-BoBo vol. 2: Scream for Ice Cream
It takes a special kind of weird to make me crack up. It’s the type of comedy that is so out of left field, so unpredictably off the wall it challenges viewers to even describe its humor. Shows like Aqua Teen and early South Park pull this off wonderfully. You either get these shows, or [...]
DVD REVIEW [HE-SAID SHE-SAID] . [Early] . Happily N’ever After
SHE-SAID
The story of Cinderella has got to be one of the most replicated and remade romantic fairytales. I actually never saw the Disney classic, but I had the read aloud/along storybook/recording. Like most girls, I thought her dress was keen (the animals made it for her!). Unlike most girls, I thought the [...]
Knocked Up // movie review // guest // Screener!
We’ve received another guest review, this time courtesy of Craig Merry, upstanding citizen and longtime friend of Dreamlogic.net. I know a lot of you out there are probably fans of either The 40 Year-Old Virgin or Freaks and Geeks, and therefore are interested in seeing this film. I know I am. Without further ado, on [...]
MOVIE REVIEW . Blades of Glory
Blades of Glory is unabashedly funny stuff. Just imagining Will Farrell and Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite) carving and twirling in ridiculously revealing costumes is giggle worthy, but there were a lot of truly hilarious scenes.
Jon Heder plays beyond innocent if not metrosexual Jimmy MacElroy, adopted by the always uncomfortably comical William [...]
MOVIE REVIEW . He Said-She Said . Aqua Teen Hunger Force colon Movie Film for Theaters
SHE SAID:
Chris and I love the Aqua Teen TV series so we were excited to see how their theatrical translation would hold up. Like so many television shows, taking it to the bigscreen = box office death, and because an Aqua Teen episode is a bizarre non-linear mishmash of random characters and conversations, it [...]
New Michel Gondry movie with Jack Black
If you’ve ever thought to yourself “hey Self, wouldn’t it be great if someone would make a movie starring Jack Black, Danny Glover, Mia Farrow and Mos Def?” Well, Michel Gondry has answered that dream. Yes, the genius behind wildly beautiful Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and music videos rife with inventive [...]
ANIME REVIEW . Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo: Bo-Nafide Protector
Anime loves its afros. Take Afro Samurai and Keroro Gunso, for instance. Or even the stationery character, Afro-ken. All have out-there hair (Keroro often covers his in a helmet) and corresponding out-there fan bases. Maybe it’s because the afro is as fun to draw as it is to admire. Regardless, now you can add [...]
DVD REVIEW . Vermillion Pleasure Night [Series]
So Lost, Heroes, and the like are quite popular with the Gen-Y crowd these days, but I’m betting some of you elitist hunters of strange are hankering for some interesting hour long entertainment that doesn’t require a season long investment to appreciate. For you, I perscribe the weird world of Vermillion Pleasure Night.
Vermillion Pleasure Night [...]
MOVIE REVIEWS [Capsules] . Beerfest, Silver Hawk, Leave it to the Nurses
In an effort towards catching up, here are a few more capsule reviews. Note that we do have some full reviews in the queue, including Brick, Chiseen,The Glamorous Life of Sachiko Hanai, and Stereo Future. On to the capsules:
Beerfest . Holy crap! A Broken Lizard film that’s actually funny! Okay, so Super Troopers had a [...]
MOVIE TRAILERS . Night of the Living Dead 3D, The Simpsons Movie, and more
We haven’t done a trailer roundup in quite a bit, so here you go.

Come Early Morning. A comedy about life and love, starring Ashley Judd, and directed by Joey [...]
