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

by Chris and Kris   ⋅   February 26, 2008   ⋅   Comment now

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 [...]

Great scott Marty! GM’s making fuel out of trash for less than $1/gallon!

by Kris   ⋅   January 14, 2008   ⋅   Comment [1]

When you saw Doc Brown in Back to the Future II “gassing up” his time-traveling DeLorean with banana peels and garbage, didn’t you think “wow, what a great idea! Why doesn’t someone get on making that a reality?” GM execs must’ve thought that, too.
General Motors, close to being toppled as the world’s top-selling [...]

Death Proof movie review

by Chris   ⋅   April 22, 2007   ⋅   Comments [19]

At just 80 minutes Death Proof is Quentin’s shortest film to date, and somehow his most interminable. Overly chatty and under-compelling, its tale of a stuntman/serial killer (a vehicular-homicidal maniac) lulls when it should wow and stalls when it should kick into high gear. The film is broken into two halves, the first concerning a [...]

Is it real? Toyota Supra 2007

by Kris   ⋅   March 18, 2007   ⋅   Comments [4]

Are they or aren’t they? Quit teasing us already! The debate is still on about whether or not Toyota is going to unleash a new Supra as early as October 2007. Hardcore enthusiasts have heard everything from confirmation and legitimate photos to No, sorry but the Supra is dead forever and you’re [...]

Pet Peeves with Regards to Bay Area Driving

by Chris   ⋅   February 6, 2007   ⋅   Comments [4]

So the Mercury News came out with a list of Bay Area driver pet Peeves yesterday. Ranked at number 1 was incorrect merging techniques. That was an interesting choice, but I find that I encounter horrible merges far less than other irksome driving habits. So, I’ve crafted my own list of 5 pet peeves. Check [...]

MOVIE REVIEW [SHORT FILM] . Sex, Love & Z-Parts

by Chris   ⋅   February 5, 2007   ⋅   Comments [3]

The second short film to be reviewed on Dreamlogic.net comes to us from Marcus Russel, a Los Angeles resident, filmmaker, and philosopher. His Sex, Love & Z-Parts “The Prequel” is a neo-noir/heist/black comedy that aims to represent Generation X’ers as they are, rather than as the media perceives them. Being a proud member of the [...]

Vrooming on voltage

by Kris   ⋅   January 8, 2007   ⋅   Comment now

If the idea of a mass produced electric car is in fact “dead” (according to the documentary Who Killed the Electric Car? referring to the discontinued GM EV1), GM is busting out the defibrillator, adrenaline push and administering CPR. “Clear!” *bzzzap!*
A couple of months ago, GM announced that they plan to be the first [...]

My X-tra X-travagant X-mas list

by Kris   ⋅   January 4, 2007   ⋅   Comments [2]

I know it’s too late for Christmas 2006, but these are items I will leave for my frugal mind to battle out with my consuming id until next Christmas. Just kidding, I know that my frugal mind is stronger. :)
This blurb was written shortly before I read this article where 10 people in [...]

BMW goes green

by Kris   ⋅   January 3, 2007   ⋅   Comment [1]

Bimmers bug me, mostly due to the fact that the 3-series are gamut with the “new rich” who apparently don’t know how to use their turn signals and are prone to cut you off like a Subaru, but if I were given a free one, I would probably choose a 7-series (I admit to coveting [...]

Saturn SKY.. fantastico or fugly?

by Kris   ⋅   August 28, 2006   ⋅   Comment [1]

Oh so Saturn made a sportscar? The fairy safety queen of boring rounded edges decided to embark on the speed demon market? Well, it’s a concept that audiences had to be slowly introduced to. In fact, its styling is directly lifted from the Vauxhall VX Lightning concept, but without the trippy vacuum [...]

Infiniti and the Fat Lady — Separated at Birth

by Kris   ⋅   June 20, 2006   ⋅   Comments [4]

Chris said he thought the rear view of the Infiniti RX45 resembled a rotund woman’s tushie. It didn’t bother me much until I found myself stuck behind one in traffic and felt sorta grossed out, desperate to switch lanes!
Well I thought that might be a fun little “look alike” project, but when I tried [...]

Fast and the Furious 3 Tokyo Drift movie review screener!

by Chris and Kris   ⋅   June 14, 2006   ⋅   Comments [14]

She Said:
So I wanted to see Fast and the Furious 3 because a) it’s in Tokyo and I haven’t been there in ages b) Chris does a mean slide that will evolve into a scary drift when the popo are at bay c) what the hell, it was free. Should I also mention that I [...]

“Oh what a feeling! Toyota Lawsuit”

by Kris   ⋅   May 4, 2006   ⋅   Comments [3]

“Oh what a feeling!” was a top slogan utilized by Toyota in the 1980s along with the lesser known “what will you do with all the money you save?” Well, Toyota Motor Corp is going to have to fork over $190 million of the “money they saved” while their employee was being sexually harassed, and [...]

Initial D movie review

by Chris   ⋅   November 23, 2005   ⋅   Comments [7]

When it comes to manga adaptations, much like American comic book adaptations, you run the full gambit of hits, near-misses, and absolute bombs. For every Ichi the Killer, there’s more than a few Eko-Eko Azaraks. Furthermore, when filmmakers of a country other than that of the source material’s origin decides to adapt the piece, [...]

Dukes of Hazzard movie review

by Kris   ⋅   August 8, 2005   ⋅   Comment [1]

DUKE IT OUT
There was a brief moment where I would’ve admitted that Johnny Knoxville was the hottest thing on the planet. Not as strange as my first real celebrity crush on Ivan Lendl (the stellar stoic tennis pro), but there are some similarities due to their stamina and offbeat handsomeness and trim muscle tone. [...]

Bugatti Fahrvergnügen

by Kris   ⋅   July 21, 2005   ⋅   Comment now

You know the car wars; the battle for buyouts continue until everyone merges with each other in some weird way. Ford purchased Jaguar (I cried that day) then Volvo and LandRover, Daimler-Benz joined Chrysler, VW bought Bentley and Rolls Royce right out of BMW’s grasp, although they later granted BMW the rights to build [...]

The Punisher movie review screener!

by Chris and Kris   ⋅   August 20, 2004   ⋅   Comment now

SHE SAID: Heylos all. We caught a late screener on Thursday night but haven’t had the chance to get around to the review until now.
The Punisher leaps and pounces, offering relentless action while shifting giddy humour to charismatic overdrive. Akin to this, you’ll see a tricked-out 1969 Pontiac GTO complete with a huge Pontiac [...]
