It has been said that David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas is an impossible book to adapt to film considering it's six story-lines ranging from all genres that tell a tale of suppression and freedom between the years of 1849...

This is Spinal Tap (1984, Rob Reiner)
Nigel Tufnel: You know, very much, like, I'm really influenced by Mozart and Bach.
Nigel Tufnel: It's sort of in between those, sort of a "mach" piece.
Marty DiBergi: What do you call this?
Nigel Tufnel: This piece is called "Lick My Love Pum...
( I basically repeat myself so either watch or read my post, or both!)
Let me just say this, I'm not a huge horror film watcher. I don't even like watching those parody films like Scary Movie (2000). But when I do, I watch it for the sake of knowing the roots of horror films and to witness it's developments in the genre. Although the sheer sound of windows cracking can make my bones jump out of my body and my judgement...
Cloud Atlas is coming out this week and if you've seen the trailer and wondered who the Asian girl was, have no fear. I was quite surprise when directors Tom Tykwer and the Wachowski brothers decided to use South Korea's Bae Doona known as Doona Bae in America in their upcoming film. I first saw her back in 2000 in a Korean drama called RNA which had the creep factor of The Ring (2002). Then again in Bong Joon-Ho's debut film,...
I already wrote a review about Looper but I thought for the second vlog, it is a triumphant career highlight of Rian Johnson that should be overly recognized and congratulated. So enjoy!

The Facts of Life (1960, Melvin Frank)
Kitty Weaver: Am I really doing this? Me, Kitty Weaver? Secretary to the PTA? Den mother to the cub scouts? Am I really going to San Francisco to spend the weekend... with the husband of my best frien...
I've been very hesitant since the beginning of the youtube boom to start doing vlogs cause it seemed like a cop out to actually becoming a film critic the old fashion way: actually writing. But the more I contemplated the idea, the more futile the thought of just wondering it became. My friend just told me to go for it and here I am, all awkward and stuff in front of the camera. I start a...

Planet of the Apes is a brilliant piece of science fiction that analyzes the evolution of man with intricacy that it's no wonder it's been remade and rebooted so many times. Based on the 1963 French novel of the same name by Pierre Boulle--it is a timeless...
Foxy Brown (1974, Jack Hill)
Link Brown: "Foxy, I'm a black man, and I don't know how to sing, and I don't know how to dance, and I don't know how to preach to no congregation. I'm too small to be a football hero, and too ugly to be elected mayor. But I watch TV and see these folks and the nice homes they live in and all them fancy cars they drive, I just get so full of ambition. Now you tell me what I'm suppose...
New York Comic Con is in full throttle mode right now! And even though the official poster for The Last Stand already came out, this comic book style poster is much more appealing! The Last Stand marks the english language debut of one of Korea's notorious directors, Kim Ji-woon (A Bittersweet Life) or like they say in America, Kim Jee-woon. The film comes out January 18, 2013! I cant wait!...

Seven Psychopaths has three main key points that make up a terrific comedy: a versatile cast, witty one-liners, and a very "meta" story. But instead of executing a perfectly humorous picture, the lackluster story tries to cover up it's faults by making us laugh till we forget. Marty (Colin...
