My first blog

I gotta say this is pretty sweet. I like just writing and stuff, mostly about movies, which I really enjoy, so expect movie reviews and everything. Just a blog to fill time.

DVD REVIEW: MONEYBALL

Image
 "Moneyball" is notable for a few reasons. It got robbed at the Oscars, 6 nominations with 0 wins. It was one of the last appearances of "Fat Jonah Hill." Fat Jonah Hill, known for his crude frat boy persona he developed in movies like "Superbad" and "Knocked Up," got an Oscar nomination.  Therefore he's now known as "Skinny Oscar-nominee Jonah Hill." One of Fat Jonah Hill's last appearances. Though none of those reasons adds up to why "Moneyball" was one of my favorite films of the year.  Once again I'll be perfectly honest, I don't really know why F.J.H. got the Oscar nomination, and a Golden Globe nomination to boot.  He was Brad Pitt's portly sidekick.  He was very smart, and came up with the whole concept for the moneyball formula, but he was still his portly sidekick. Brad Pitt on the other hand...he's incredible in this movie.  To see scribe Aaron Sorkin's (The Social Network) ...

REVIEW: WARM BODIES

First off, I must tell you a movie I fully recommend: "Django Unchained."  I didn't review it last week because of exams and the fact anyone who really wanted to see it probably saw it over Christmas when it came out.  It is a bold, extremely  gutsy movie that has become one of my favorite movies...not even of the year, but ever.  I'm still rooting for "Argo" come Oscar time, but I'd love to see Mr. Waltz pick up his second supporting actor Oscar for his remarkable work in this film. If you're thinking, wow, recommending a movie before the actual review...that can't be good!  It's not..."Warm Bodies" is absolutely a February movie, like the much-hyped "Mama" and "The Woman in Black" last year.  It's a (kind of) horror movie with some comedy and a whole lot of romance dashed in there, but not all of it works, and some of it is just downright predictable.  "Warm Bodies" works especially best as slum...

THOUGHTS ON MICHAEL CLARKE DUNCAN

Image
Reporting on every celebrity death would be tireless, constant work I don't know that I could do.  News anchors have to report on it, journalists...but I'm not sure I could do it.  The sadness and confusion of a celebrity death can unite people (see Michael Jackson's death) in mourning of that person, and that's what I think is really important to do now.  Sadly people will forget about Mr. Duncan's passing in a week, consumed with other news being shoved down their throat.  But the beautiful thing about an actor passing is that their legacy can always be carried on in the films they appear in, and that will never end. Oscar/Golden Globe nominee Michael Clarke Duncan died on September 3, 2012.  I turned on the TV to CNN to find this news, and it just broke me.  Being a movie critic means you get crucified if you haven't seen a certain movie in popular favor.  I hate when I tell people I'm a movie fan, and follow it up with "Oh, but I haven't see...
