Common Sense

Many a fan is waiting for midnight Friday when they can purchase (legally) a copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. They are speculating themselves into coronary disease over the fate of a fictional character. I myself am going to purchase a copy on Amazon.
I’m also headed to Wal-Mart after work to buy a […]

I took my own advice and brought two more people with me to see SiCKO last night at the theater: My mom and my mom’s new boyfriend, Buddy.
Unfortunately, all three showings were sold out! Word is getting around and I don’t care if you are a Republican, a Democrat, an Independent or a fucking Martian, […]

Then you may have noticed I used old school Frylock for my Drive-Thru review as my rating standard. Originally, the Aqua Teens were corporate mascots that had taken over the show on the old Space Ghost: Coast to Coast show (Episode Baffler Meal). I don’t think there was even a Meatwad at the time.
Anyway, anyone […]

This post was originally going to be titled “How much wood could a woodchipper chip if a woodchipper could chip you?” I rented Woodchipper Massacre and was all excited when I popped it into the DVD player. Dead Mary had been sort of iffy and I was looking forward to some good gore.
And then after […]

Go see SiCKO.
That’s my review. You need to see it to understand it and it was well worth the price of admission to find out just how bad our health care system is in America.
Let me tell you one of the stories, so you can understand:
An EMT who did work on Ground Zero required special […]

I kinda wanted to see it anyway. I don’t know if any of you know this, but I happen to be a Michael Moore fan. For Fahrenheit 9/11, I managed to get my mom to drive us to Austin so we could see it together.
She was just as outraged as the rest of the audience.
Somehow, […]

Sad to say, American horror films started going downhill fast in the 1980s.
There was a time when Universal’s horror films ruled the box office and sequels meant The Wolfman meeting Frankenstein’s monster with Bela Lugosi in some role. Do you remember the first time you saw John Carpenter’s Halloween? The scene at the end when […]

I’ve had this post about Chubs dying up top for nearly a week and its gotta be bumming some of you out. How about we put up the shot of Paris Hilton after getting booked?
And this link to Sarah Silverman ragging on Paris at the MTV Movie Awards. It’s just like a full minute of […]

Thanks largely to the one-two-three punch from Buena Vista’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End,” Paramount’s “Shrek the Third” from DreamWorks Animation and Sony’s friendly neighborhood “Spider-Man 3,” the four-day Memorial Day weekend was one for the record books. The total boxoffice for the 109 films tracked by The Hollywood Reporter was $255.3 million […]

I waited one year to see what was going to happen, dutifully mind you, and I have to say, I was a little underwhelmed.
That’s not to say Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End wasn’t a good movie. Or that it wasn’t a great movie that I’m sure will shore up Disney’s summer tent-pole season. […]
