Buy: Jennifer’s Body

When it comes to Diablo Cody’s body of work, I’m on the fence.
Juno: Liked, then hated for it’s cutesy and forced dialogue and character non-development and soundtrack
United States of Tara: Liked. Not extremely captivating but had character development
Cody’s red carpet choices: No.
and now we’ve got Jennifer’s Body. Check the trailer and then we’ll discuss.

Okay. Let’s [...]

Buy: Mocking 2012

I’m one of those people who is pretty logical, but with a bit of over-thinking, I lose all sensibility and resort to panic. So after reading, hearing, talking, and watching about 2012, I lost it! What if it’s true? What if the world does come to an end? OMG OMG OMG! ALERT ALERT.
Well, I’m not [...]

Buy: Respectful Tributes to Michael Jackson

Buy: Vampire Battles

You know how the media finds one quote and blows it out of proportion? Well, that’s what I am going to do here.
Stephen Moyer who plays the lame, “responsible” vampire on HBO’s True Blood had this to say about Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight vampire star Robert Patterson:
He’s a pussy! He’s the Slim-Fast, Diet Coke of vampires.
Awesome! [...]

Don’t Buy: Reaction Videos

I looked up “reaction video” on UrbanDictionary:

A video, typically posted on YouTube, that depicts someone’s reaction to seeing or being shown a disturbing or frightening image or video. This is usually a shock site, a screamer or something similar.
This is a really lame concept. It’s the cheap-ass version of Sci Fi’s Scare Tactics: give [...]

Buy: Fake Trailers

Sundays are usually spent looping old movie trailers (from 2001’s Sweet November ["Redemption's not for sale today."] to 1992’s Home Alone 2 [Chris Columbus' best?]).
But what better way to spend 4:21 than watching RomCom movie stills set to wordless Evanescence-inspired tunes? I tried searching for the promotional preview of Alicia Silverstone’s swansong, Excess Baggage, and [...]

Buy: Sherlock Holmes Trailer

I had no idea what to expect when I heard about this movie. The trailer reeks of Guy Ritchie and is definitely not the Sherlock Holmes I was expecting. I am somewhat pleased with that.
Downey Jr. looks silly yet badass but not British. Jude Law with a stache is fun but I could have sworn [...]

Buy: Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl

Tell me that isn’t awesome? Although, this is obviously a buy, I have to say I haven’t seen the film, but it looks awesome! It has something for everyone. VG vs FG could work for both gory horror film fans and fans that are not, after all those effects are hardly realistic. There looks like [...]

Don’t Buy: G.I. Joe Trailer

Look out The Spirit. This could quite possibly be the worst movie of all time.
The only way i’d see this movie is if it was based on this:

Buy: Aziz Ansari’s ‘Randy’

Aziz Ansari is a comedic actor. You know him from “Human Giant” and “Parks and Recreation.” But like many comic actors, he also does stand-up comedy. His stand-up comedy is funny, as proven by this clip right here:

In the new Judd Apatow film Funny People, Ansari apparently plays ‘Randy,’ a Dane Cook-style terrible comedian who [...]
