‘Iron Man’ Irons Wrinkles Out Of Brain
Posted by The Gimcracker in Beratings, Movies on 19. May, 2008 | 1 Comment
That title is meant to be taken in a good way, although taken negatively it also aptly describes the movie. Iron Man is about the beginnings of a super hero: how the cockiest guy on Earth is convicted with the duty of saving humanity from an evil corporation that he helped build. He has no [...]
American Gangster
Posted by The Gimcracker in Beratings, Movies on 21. Apr, 2008 | No Comments
American Gangster is one of those movies that I wish I didn’t love. It’s not particularly edifying and it contains a lot of nudity. At least it wasn’t Eastern Promises nudity, and for that I’m thankful.
It’s the true story of a self-made 1970s drug lord who rose to the top and fell right back down [...]
Movies I’m Not Looking Forward To
Posted by The Gimcracker in Movies on 01. Apr, 2008 | 6 Comments
Baby Mama because I despised Tina Fey and Amy Poehler as the Weekend Update duo on SNL, and they’ll be up to all their old, tired antics again in this film.
10,000 B.C. because it looks terrible and it will dupe people into spending 10 bucks based solely on the played-out hype of Independence Day (amazing [...]
3:10 To Yuma
Posted by The Gimcracker in Beratings, Movies on 28. Mar, 2008 | 3 Comments
You don’t see westerns too often these days. The last good western I saw was Tombstone, and each time I re-watch it on TV (pretty much once a week), I realize how fast it’s climbing up the ranks of my favorite re-watchable films of all time.
Naturally, every western I see is/will be compared to Tombstone, [...]
Movies I’m Looking Forward To
Posted by The Gimcracker in Movies on 24. Mar, 2008 | 1 Comment
Coming Soon
Ironman because it’s Robert Downey Jr. so even if the movie sucks he will not I guarantee it.
Prince Caspian because it looks way better than The Lion, The Witch, & The Wardrobe.
Indiana Jones 4 because Spielburg, Lucas, and Ford create the perfect trifecta.
The Hobbit (both films) because imagine Lord of the Rings directed by [...]
Dan In Real Life
Posted by The Gimcracker in Beratings, Movies on 24. Mar, 2008 | 2 Comments
Dan In Real Life wasn’t the film I was expecting. I was expecting Stranger Than Fiction and I got The Family Stone mixed with Little Miss Sunshine. Although somewhat thrown off at first, I came to realize I liked it because it was nowhere near as excruciatingly frustrating as The Family Stone or awkward as [...]

OMG it’s getting closer! TEASER TRAILER IS HERE:
I have goosebumps on top of goosebumps having goosebump children. That’s disgusting. Stop it.
Cloverfield vs. I Am Legend
Posted by The Gimcracker in Beratings, Movies, Reference Burst Theory on 28. Jan, 2008 | 12 Comments
A few weeks ago I saw a little film – don’t know if you’ve heard of it – called I Am Legend. It was good. Dang good. Yesterday I saw another movie called Cloverfield. It was better. Dang better. And that’s saying a lot because I Am Legend got at least a 2/10 Berating (soon [...]
Cloverfield
Posted by The Gimcracker in Movies on 27. Dec, 2007 | 3 Comments
I saw a trailer for an untitled movie at the beginning of a special pre-screening for Transformers and I was utterly amazed. Now I finally know what that film is called: Cloverfield, and I know it comes out very soon: January 18th, 2008. I read up on it at Wikipedia and it looks really good, [...]
Casino Royale: Best New Bond Yet
Posted by The Gimcracker in Beratings, Movies on 18. Dec, 2007 | 6 Comments
I really enjoyed Casino Royale and let me tell you why. I got really tired of the Pierce Brosnan flicks which got progressively worse and worse. The franchise needed new life, and a new bond was the ticket. It’s sort of like the Batman pictures which started out great but declined rapidly until we were [...]
