Two, two, TWO movie reviews in one!

I have been slacking with my SodBlog movie reviews… I’ve been slacking with my movie watching. In the past month, I’ve seen only four films, and two of them were this past Thursday night. I saw Indy IV : The Dream Master on opening weekend but was too slow in my reviewing of [...]



The Happening

The Happening

Oh boy, I hate this movie.
M. Night Shyamalan has brought us a movie that fails almost every step of the way, but for a strange reason, still has my respect. I feel some sort of sympathy for him, because he kicks off his film making career well with The Sixth Sense, but has been going [...]



Movie Reviews for Seniors

Movie Reviews for Seniors

A couple of months ago, my grandmother told me about a movie she’d seen with one of her friends; because she’s old and because I have my old-people stereotypes, I immediately assumed she’d seen something sweet, quirky and pleasant, like The Bucket List or Horton Hears A Who.
She saw Knocked-Up.
Seriously, Grandma? What the hell?
Her [...]

Ruining Transformers 2 before it has a chance to ruin you.

Fresh off of being named THE Greatest Movie Of All Time (Released In The Year 2007) at the MTV Movie Awards, the Transformers movie is getting a sequel. So what would you guess the title of said sequel should be? Transformers 2: Even More Explodey Shit Than Transformers 1? Close. The actual title for the [...]



Chaos Theory

By bcarlier • Jun 8th, 2008 • Category: General Sod, Movies

At the time of writing, this movie had an 8.5 average rating on IMDB, which even with only 1000-ish votes cast, is good. This caused me to check this movie, of which I didn’t have any previous knowledge except for the fact that it starred Ryan Reynolds, the actor whom I personally knew from Van [...]



Rambo on DVD (2008)

Rambo on DVD (2008)

The highly anticipated fourth Rambo movie came out on DVD last Tuesday, May 27th. I was fortunate enough to catch this one in the theaters when it first came out in January, even if it was the first Rambo I had seen. It was enough of a thrill ride for me to blind buy the [...]



MOTHER OF TEARS

MOTHER OF TEARS

So I saw Dario Argento’s Mother of Tears at Seattle’s International Film Festival, the biggest film festival in the United States (but not North America, no, that honor goes to Toronto).
Argento’s colorful four-decade career as an Italian horror master and auteur has been well-documented and much-commented-upon. His creativity was really at its zenith in the [...]



Indiana Jones & The Movie That I Genuinely Enjoyed

Indiana Jones & The Movie That I Genuinely Enjoyed

So sue me.
Aside from a few shitty script detours (Mutt swinging through the jungle on vines to catch up with the car chase, certain pockets of awkward dialogue, the ants(overdone), not enough with the undead Indian warriors) it was everything I had hoped it would be. It was pure popcorn and Jujubes, pulp cinema with [...]



Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Crapper

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Crapper

My 6-year-old son and I flipped a coin to determine what movie we should drop $14 worth of coin on (I hate that term… ‘coin’); Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Kingdom, Ironman, or the latest Narnia yawn-fest. The Legend of the Cursed Nickel struck and we ended up seeing Indiana Jones.
I’m an [...]



When in ‘Vegas’ bet on the supporting cast

When in 'Vegas' bet on the supporting cast

I’m assuming you’ve all seen the trailer for this recent rom-”com,” so you’re familiar with the plot. Joy (Cameron Diaz)–recently dumped at a surprise party thrown for her fiancé (Jason Sudeikis) in front of all her friends–and Jack (Ashton Kutcher)–recently fired by his father (Treat Williams) for being a goof-off–both run off to Sin [...]
