Geeks can rejoice. The trailer for Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, Edgar Wright’s filmic adaptation of the fantastic comic book series, is quite good. It doesn’t shatter expectations, but it at least suggests that the movie is faithful to its source material. Having read the series, I can say Edgar Wright seems to have captured [...]

After a year on hiatus, the highly anticipated United States of Tara begins its sophomore season with a disappointing step. The episode meanders for twenty three minutes until it reaches a climactic reveal that is as predictable as it is miscalculated. Additionally, the subplots barely attempt to add resonance to the rest of our familiar [...]
TV Review: Breaking Bad – “No Mas”

The first two seasons of Breaking Bad took a fish out of water and turned it into a shark. The show’s once benevolent, almost sheepish protagonist, Walter White, mutated right before us into a callous, immoral man. Seeing him go so far into moral decadence has made the show’s tragic experience some of the best [...]

One thing this trailer expertly captures is Tony Stark’s vulnerability. It shows our protagonist, a charismatic, seemingly invincible narcissist, at the mercy of a menacing villain(s) and, more significantly, his own hubris. Particular struggles that make the hero’s chance at victory seem slim, such as the ones suggested by this trailer, are what make great [...]

Inglourious Basterds (Lost Art)
Posted in Poster Impressions, tagged Movie Poster, Quentin Tarantino on March 2, 2010 | 1 Comment »
To help raise money for Haiti, Quentin Tarantino and the Weinstein Company hosted an art exhibit that featured several artists and their Inglourious Basterds inspired works. These pieces are all unique, riveting, and extremely mature; it’s too bad the film’s actual marketing campaign couldn’t go this scenic route. Click to enlarge.

The Oscars. The most prestigious show that honors the esteemed works of an intimate community? Or meaningless, arbitrary titles that are granted to the elitists of Hollywood? Either way you look at it, here are my opinions on some of their nominations. Full List of Nominations BEST ANIMATED FEATURE Coraline Fantastic Mr. Fox The Princess [...]
