Summer Catch-Up 3: The Death of Summer (Tropic Thunder, Pineapple Express, etc)

by Chris and Kris   ⋅   September 11, 2008   ⋅   Comment now

This has been the busiest Summer I’ve ever experienced. Seriously, things have been insane. And, so far, Fall’s shaping up to be even more intense. Since my last update I’ve actually seen surprisingly few things, most of my free time being spent reading, researching, chilling with Kris, or simply indulging in old DOS games. When [...]

Iron Man — movie review

by Kris   ⋅   May 11, 2008   ⋅   Comment now

Iron Man was so good that I went into a Comic Book shop directly after our viewing just to find out more (and to appease my curiosity concerning the portended sequel). Already a huge fan of Robert Downey Jr (whom I have to say vintaged quite nicely and looks even better now than he did pre-prison), I didn’t even need to see a trailer to predict this was a must-see. Robert Downey Jr and robotics? I’m there. [...]

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 [...]

Fur: an Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus movie review

by Kris   ⋅   June 17, 2007   ⋅   Comments [4]

JUST SAY NO to Zaph Chancery font! How can a film with art direction and cinematography so rich start out with credit lines so faulted? It almost reduces it to a Made for Television style, when this film deserves so much better than that.
Behind the (ugh) titles, we see a woman on a [...]

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

by Chris & Kris   ⋅   February 27, 2007   ⋅   Comment now

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, [...]

Ooh, I want to see this! Zodiac

by Kris   ⋅   February 20, 2007   ⋅   Comment [1]

Okay, forget that it has cuter than cute Jake Gyllenhaal in the lead and the resurrection of the awesome awesome Robert Downey Jr, Zodiac is about one of my favorite psychological-plumb topics: serial killers. And it’s in one of my favorite cities: SF.
I’m not sure how well it will pan out, but [...]

Best and Worst Films 2006 *UPDATED*

by Chris and Kris   ⋅   January 1, 2007   ⋅   Comments [9]

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 [...]

BEST OF THE YEAR (so far)

by Chris and Kris   ⋅   August 9, 2006   ⋅   Comments [4]

A lot of critics seem to be putting out their Best of Year (so far) lists, so we’ve decided to do the same. But, rather than list films guaranteed to garner critical acclaim (and respect of our academic elitist peers), we’re choosing those we would honestly watch more than once.
Best films (Chris):
Shinobi: Heart Under Blade
So [...]
