Army of Darkness - 3.5 stars: Inarguably dumb, but I find it hilariously entertaining. There are some truly awful scenes/lines/acting here, but I don't care. I think that was kind of the point of the whole thing. To make fun of itself and entertain us along the way. Mission accomplished.

Dear voOm, I'd like closed-captioning for your programming please. Why do you hate deaf people? Love, Timm

Holy crap. Didn't see that coming. P.S. "It's like fat and sugar making love on a plate!" :) !

Now THAT was good stuff! I'm glad to see it got back on track. Rock on. And Perry's back! And gay as ever!

Run Lola Run - 4 stars: This is one bad ass movie. Creatively filmed, thumpin' soundtrack, butterfly-effect-type time-space continuum deal. Oh, and Franke Potente, running. A lot. I bought the DVD years ago and still enjoyed seeing it in HD -- even better. Sure, some of it could go -- I...

Meh. I actually didn't love this ep. Didn't hate it, but... The chicken story line didn't amuse me at all. And I thought the food-as-sex thing was kinda stupid and not very original, but done well enough for what it was. Same thing with the chick sneakin' out of the room and sneakin' back...

Requiem For A Dream - 4 stars: This is not an easy movie to watch. But it's good. It deals with some heavy topics, like addiction and loneliness and sadness. It is very creatively shot. Ellen Burstyn is outstanding. Other parts aren't quite so well done (I'm looking at you , Jared Leto)...

^ Actually, no, I didn't notice. And I guess I don't really miss her much. This has pretty much become my favorite show.

For Keeps? - 1 star: Pretty bad. Molly Ringwald plays a high school girl who gets pregnant. And then the families act like the world's gonna end, and the actors portray their characters with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer. Nuanced, it ain't. It's a chore to watch. I'm not sure which is...

Enron: The Smartest Guys In The Room - 3.5 stars: Really good documentary. It entertains, and informs, and pisses me off. What more can you ask for from a documentary?

Dick - 3.5 stars: Just plain fun. Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams are very good, not to mention cute, as teenagers who become "Deep Throat" - the source for the Woodward and Bernstein stories that exposed the Watergate scandal. This is funny stuff, with some very good performances from a...

Backyard - 0 stars: According to the PG, this alleged documentary "examines the politics that have arisen from whites and blacks living together in the modern South". Um, no. It does take place in the south. There are blacks. There are whites. I'm not so sure 1984 qualifies as "modern"...

Go - 2 stars: Pretty stupid movie, but I gotta admit that it actually held my interest. It's one of those movies with four or five different plots going on all sorta tied together. But they're all pretty dumb. It does have a decent cast of second-level "stars" though - Katie Holmes, Sarah...

Caught the Jewel SoundStage today. It made my ears happy -- and the eyes weren't complainin' either. Damn, that woman can sing. My only complaint would be song selection -- they left out many of my Jewel favorites (Again and Again, Standing Still, Love Me Just Leave Me Alone, Chime Bells --...

Tap - 2.5 stars: If nothing else, crank up the ol' surround sound and listen to the opening scenes with Gregory Hines tap dancing in his jail cell. Then come back in a couple hours to listen to the wacky sound effects during his final tap routine. In between? Well, there's some really good...

Running On Empty - 4 stars: The scene with everyone dancing around the kitchen to "Fire and Rain" by James Taylor is one of my favorite scenes in any movie ever. The other thing I love most about this movie is Martha Plimpton -- man, did I have a crush on her after seeing this movie as a...

WarGames - 2.5 stars: ZOMG!! We're all gonna die!!! Or...not. What we have here is the classic '80's theme of man vs. computer set against a backdrop of the threat total nuclear destruction. Throw in Dabney Coleman, Ally Sheedy, and Ferris Bueller, and you get a watchable movie. Predictable...

10 Things I Hate About You - 3 stars: Just another cheesy teen romance flick. But I LOVE cheesy teen romance flicks! And this one has Julia Stiles. And Heath Ledger, before he becomes a gay cowboy, is a pretty good high school bad boy. It's a fun movie, if predictable -- and hey, it's based...

Music From Another Room - 3.5 stars: Wow. Where has this movie been? With such a great cast, I'm surprised I've never even heard of it -- leave it to voOm to dig up another hidden gem! The cast included Jude Law, Gretchen Mol, Martha Plimpton, Jeremy Piven, Jennifer Tilly -- who were all...

Dancing At The Harvest Moon - 1 star: Ew. Terrible title -- and that's probably the best thing about this schmaltz-fest. It's awful. It's about as well-done as a Hallmark commercial, with just as much depth to the characters. I more or less gave up on it -- I kept it on, but stopped paying...

Summer of '42 - 4 stars: I love coming-of-age flicks -- and this is a great one. Well-written, believeable characters that you find yourself actually caring about. It'd been many years since I'd seen this movie -- I liked it then, I like it even more now.

I liked last night's ep -- likely because it was relatively Hiro-free. Now they say we get all the answers next week, and I think they said something about getting to know Sylar a bit, or someething. But I'm not really an "answers" hound -- just entertain me for an hour at a time. Last night...

I'm just glad as hell that it's not up against Lost anymore. :D I LOVED the first season of this show, but didn't follow it much last year --- I just couldn't pull myself away from Lost. And I loves me some Kristin Bell, and her moxie (some call it "spunk" ;) ).

^^^ yep. I can't remember the last time I laughed out loud so many times at a sitcom. My personal favorite was the Thanksgiving dinner with the gay couple and the "straight" husband and his "straight" father-in-law. Tons of humor opportunities there -- and they took advantage of just about...

Shaolin Soccer - 3 stars: This is one stuuuuupid movie. That I liked. A lot. There are countless cringe-worthy moments that are almost embarrassing to watch, and yet I very much enjoyed the ridiculous special effects and overall tongue-in-cheek making-fun-of-itself tone of the movie. It...
