I was glad that they surrounded Tom Cruise with such a large supporting cast, because it distracted me from the fact that I was watching a movie with Tom Cruise in it. The start of the movie felt very much like an episode of Alias. I was happy to see that Greg Grunberg showed up […]

I find the idea of Dallas the Movie rather disturbing.
When I saw the trailer for The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, for the first few seconds I was wondering if it was a lame Hollywood adaptation of Initial D, either the manga or the movie. But when I realized that the hero of the […]

I don’t think I’ve ever had a more mixed reaction to a movie. I feel as if I’ve gone to see a wacky exhibit of installation art where someone made a sculpture of lovely diamonds embedded in a giant pile of rhinocerous excrement. Although I might want to appreciate the lovely diamonds, I’m distracted by […]

I get all my Death Note movie news from Telophase. The official web site shows you some goodies if you click around in Light’s room. Here’s a pixelated version of the movie trailer on You Tube, although a much higher quality version is available if you click on the power button on the TV to […]

I felt I had to watch Tom Yum Goong, because Nat and Jon have seen it, so I was ending up last on the list of bloggers I know who like martial arts movies who have seen this Tony Jaa movie. I watched the Chinese edition of this movie, so since I don’t know Thai […]

If this list is true, Chairman Kaga from Iron Chef Japan is going to be in the live action Death Note movie playing Light’s father (via telophase).

I have a horrible thing to confess. I hope you will not think less of me as I expose the depth of my ignorance. Before today, I have never seen a Sonny Chiba movie.
I don’t think his role in Kill Bill really counts, since Hattori Hanzo was more of a cameo role. I think you […]

Do you ever have a hard time remembering something and it starts to drive you batty? At times like these I am glad I’m a librarian, because if I sit down and think a little bit I will be able to use my librarian powers to figure out the answer. This afternoon I was wracking […]

I’ve been hanging out with the future Mr. Tangognat, going to a bunch of movies.
King Kong - Great special effects, but the action on Skull Island drags on too long. I think the best part of the movie takes place in New York. Naomi Watts did a great job, I thought Jack Black seemed a […]

Now that the future Mr. Tangognat is visiting, I’m catching up on some of the movies that I’ve been meaning to see. We went to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. I enjoyed Goblet of Fire more, I was surprised at how well the […]
