(Don’t miss the trailers at the end of the post!)
I haven’t done a review on themicrocosm in a long time, and I will not do that here, but I will give a little breakdown. I can only honestly recommend three movies from 2009 so far. But, those three I recommend to the hilt:
1. Star Trek [...]

From the very first narration, you know it is a “typical” Guy Ritchie film, but though he has not prodded a new genre, his mastery over the British underworld is supreme. Like Sergio Leone, who took the Spaghetti Western to new heights, Ritchie has proven he can master a niche. This film’s anti-hero is played [...]

So, I am reading this book called A Canticle for Leibowitz. It is a great PA (Post-Apocalyptic) story about a world that has survived the Fire Deluge (Nuclear War) and exists in future 3174 Utah. The world has reverted in a way to a similar situation as the days of medieval times. There are monasteries, tribal [...]

The last time I reviewed a movie was August 13! Whoa! Ok, I’m back in the saddle again.
Burn After Reading is the first Coen Brothers’ movie since No Country for Old Men. That in itself is an obstacle. It is like Aaron Rodgers taking the reigns from Brett Favre. The expectations are immeasurable. However, [...]

Finally, low-brow, happy-go-lucky humor that reminds me of my favorites from the ’80s starring the likes of Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Dan Akroyd, and Steve Martin. Take a simple concept and run with it. Create a ridiculous story around a single theme and premise and take it to the limit. That is where Pineapple Express works. [...]

Comedian Bernie Mac passed away this morning….
I always enjoyed his comedy… The man knew how to make people laugh- and, at the end of the day, what more can you ask of someone…

He just won’t DIE! I can’t be sure, but it is possible that this movie will have a darker, but a similar effect as Titanic did in my youth. Last night, my cousin came over and asked if I would go and see The Dark Knight with her again. I decided not to since it was [...]

Heath Ledger, Joker. This movie is an homage to building a brilliant character and taking it to the proverbial limit. After you see the film you think to yourself, that is the Joker. That is the way he is supposed to be. No, there is no other. You think to yourself, it is so [...]

As you may or may not be aware, the IMAX screening of I Am Legend had a special treat that ran right before the movie… The first six minutes of The Dark Knight, which hit theaters across the nation today… The [...]

Who’s the baddest of them all?
Since tonight at midnight many of you may be out watching the Batman with the new villains, it is time to remember our favorite old villains. Sorry if you did not get a chance to vote, but the new poll will be up soon.
