Central Park Five

The Central Park Five

January 17, 2013by Evil Genius Leave a comment

The really shocking thing about documentary The Central Park Five isn’t how completely these innocent kids were sewn up by the system, it’s that stories like this happen all the damn time. This one’s an excellent companion to The Queen of Versailles for a double-thick slice of fucked up America.

January 10, 2013by Evil Genius 9 Comments

A young man. A tiger. A small lifeboat. As the premise for a film, it’s intriguing. One simply must wonder: just how full of tiger poop can this thing get before it sinks?

Wreck It Ralph: About as Funny as Pong

November 24, 2012by Evil Genius Leave a comment

In order to tear something down, first you must build. Otherwise, there’s no loss, no drama. Wreck It Ralph took a by-the-numbers plot and over-gilded it with in-jokes, asides, and […]

October 14, 2012by Evil Genius Leave a comment

The tensest part of Argo came thirty minutes in, when I thought, “Did I leave the BBQ on?” That tension lasted through Ben Affleck’s last lingering close-up when I found […]

Hysteria: Better When It Was A Def Leppard Album

October 11, 2012by Supreme Being 2 Comments

And I don’t even like Def Leppard! I was going to say that at least Hysteria the movie has more female orgasms per minute, but on second thought, I bet […]

Dollars, A Movie You’re Lucky Never To Have Seen

September 23, 2012by Supreme Being Leave a comment

Goldie and Warren, why are you robbing that bank? Take that ridiculous fireman’s hat off. Look out! Germans! Do not view this movie. Watch Shampoo instead.

Arbitrage

September 10, 2012by Evil Genius Leave a comment

You know your thriller is pants when the climax doesn’t make a lick of sense. You did what when why? I think I saw this episode of Law & Order.

Back to School
