The X-Files: I Want to Believe // he-said-she-said // movie review

Director: Chris Carter
Starring: David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson
Genre: Drama, Supernatural

HE-SAID
X-Files: I Want to Believe. Color me pleasantly surprised. I know that this film has been receiving quite a bit of flack from the general viewing populace, but I’m finding that for the most part, the people who are upset or disappointed by the film are casual [...]

Ballad of Narayama aka: Narayama Bushiko (1983) // he-said she-said // dvd movie review

Director: Shohei Imamura
Starring: Ken Ogata, Sumiko Sakamoto
Genre: Japan, Drama
Release Date: June 10, 2008
SHE SAID:
Sometimes I think movie awards are granted to the films that show the most boobies. Just show a little heart and a little tragedy and a lot of skin and there’s your accreditation. Take the laurel-gilded Ballad of Narayama for [...]

Stuck he-said-she-said movie review screener!

HE SAID
Unlike Diary of the Dead, the commentary found in Stuart Gordon’s latest is surprisingly subtle. Based on a true story, the film sees a health-worker hit a homeless man with her car following a late night dancing, drinking, drug session. Concerned with the loss of a possible promotion, she opts not to let anyone [...]

There Will Be Blood, No Country for Old Men He-Said-She-Said movie review

Two that we should have mentioned a while ago, but never got around to it. Writing full reviews for these is something akin to adding twigs to a forest fire – completely unnecessary – so here are our brief two cents.
There Will Be Blood
HE SAID: An undeniably well-crafted film from Paul Thomas Anderson, but [...]

Teeth he-said-she-said movie review

I have a feeling that what I saw in Teeth was infinitely funnier, grosser, and better thought out and executed than anything in Sexual Parasite: Killer Pussy. In the vein of Frankenhooker, Heathers, and Donnie Darko, Teeth is a late-night crowd pleaser concerning a God-fearing girl cursed with a vagina-dentata (that’s a toothed vagina, for you non-Latin speakers). [...]

Never Belongs to Me movie review he-said-she-said screener!

HE SAID:
Nympho teacher
cyborg schoolgirl hooker
penis gun
gay gangster
tiger man
crippled hands
tiger eat da penis…twice
Love makes you do crazy things.
Never Belongs to Me is quite possibly the weirdest film I will see this year. Far from the pretentious weird of last year’s Another Hole in the Head pick, Id, Never Belongs to Me is more the fun and [...]

MOVIE REVIEW [He-Said, She-Said] . Big Bang Love, Juvenile A aka: 4.6 Billion Years of Love

HE SAID
Ah, Takashi Miike. I think I’ve covered him enough in previous reviews to forgo the usual introduction. I mean, his popularity has grown to the point where I’ve even heard little children mentioning his name in excited tones at the local video store (I would imagine he would have it no other way). So [...]

MOVIE REVIEWS [In Brief] [He Said, She Said] . Eastern Promises, Rise: Blood Hunter, Planet Terror

Okay, so I said I’d be back on my queue films again, but Kris and I had a rather busy weekend — albeit one packed to the brim with pure awesomeness. In fact, we were so busy, I only made it halfway through Tales from Earthsea. Still, we managed to squeeze in a couple great [...]

MOVIE REVIEW [He-Said She-Said] . Sunshine

HE SAID
There haven’t been too many science fiction films focusing on the death of the sun. It’s a bit odd, given the sun is directly responsible for the abundance of life we enjoy on this planet. Really, the only film I am aware of to even remotely tackle this subject is Japan’s Sayonara Jupiter, though [...]

MUSIC VIDEO DVD/CD REVIEW [He-Said, She-Said] [Early] . Absolute Garbage

The DVD (SHE SAID)
Oh, you know those little mistakes in life you regret? I regret agreeing to do this review. First off, I remember thinking “damn, they ripped off Curve” when Garbage first hit the scene, then I remember being puzzled when my otherwise gentleman-y and sickly sweet friend said “Shirley Manson is [...]

MOVIE REVIEW [He-Said, She-Said] . DoA: Dead or Alive

HE SAID:Finally, a summer film that entertains throughout! Seriously, I’m not joking. Dead or Alive was the most fun I’ve had at a summer movie this year. It may be a videogame adaptation, but its ribald mix of kinetic action, sexy females, and tongue in cheek humor provided a consistent level of entertainment — something [...]

MOVIE REVIEW [He-Said, She-Said] . Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

SHE SAID:
Now this is going to sound pretty superficial (but it’s a mainstream movie, so I’m allowed), the main reasons I wanted to see Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer were Julian McMahon and Jessica Alba. If you’re going to do the same, you might be disappointed. First of all, they made [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Zodiac movie review he-said-she-said screener!

SHE SAID:
@$)^(*)!+ That’s the Zodiac killer saying the movie is really good. Or else that’s him saying dammit, you almost caught me.
David Fincher’s stab (eh) at the Bay Area’s gruesome Zodiac serial killer is decidedly un-Fincher-esque. If you’re a salivating fan of the director’s previous slick CG swoops or gloomy moodiness (i.e.: Se7en, [...]

MOVIE REVIEW [He Said, She Said] . Curse of the Golden Flower

He Said, She Said is back! And what better film to start with than Zhang Yimou’s Curse of the Golden Flower? On to the reviews.
HE SAID:
The first Yimou’s first film featuring Gong Li since their Shanghai Triad fallout, The Curse of the Golden Flower should be something of a cause for celebration. But, the former [...]

MOVIE REVIEW [SCREENER] . Silent Hill

Kris and I drove deep into the ghettos of Milpitas (Mill-pete-ass), braving hip-hop kids, speak-and-spell readers, and pretentious cinematic greenhorns (aka: film students) to catch a late evening screening of Silent Hill. Was it any good?
She Said:
Thanks to my awesome awesome friend “CapnT”, Chris and I got to view this sneak preview. Now I know [...]

S.W.A.T. he-said-she-said movie review / dreamlogic.net’s Infamous “GAY” Pictorial!

“ALRIGHT, LET’S PUT THIS FROG IN THE BIRD!”
Starring Colin Farrell, Michelle Rodriguez, Samuel L Jackson, Ladies Love Cool James, Jeremy Renner (aka Tobey Maguire)
HE-SAID:
I must say, this has been the week of surprises. After seeing the trailer for SWAT, which proudly proclaimed it was from the producers of XXX and The Fast and the Furious [...]
