This WAS my favorite movie of the summer, until I saw the new Superman movie, but it’s still really good. Possibly my favorite part? Another Beastie Boys song playing in Kirk’s room in the earlier part of the film. I love the scene in the first film where Kirk as a kid takes off with […]

Review: Man of Steel
I do not have a single complaint about this movie. That’s how good it was. By far the best Superman movie I’ve seen, and most assuredly the least cheesy, and I saw the old films with Christopher Reeve, and the newer one with Brandon Routh. The film begins on Krypton, a dying planet, with the […]

Why Javier Bardem Will Be The Best Bond Villain of the Past 20 Years
I just learned who will be playing the villain in the next James Bond film: Javier Bardem. Yes, the really good-looking Spaniard from Eat, Pray, Love. Here’s why this was probably the BEST move the Bond film creators could have made at this point, after an inexplicably poor showing for the previous film, Quantum of […]
