Sucky and Unsucky Vampire Movies

Posted by: branwynne77 on: June 22, 2009

By sucky, I mean good.  That’s what vampires are supposed to do, right?  Suck?  So the opposite of that would be unsucky. That, by my new definition, means that a sucky vampire movie is excellent, two fangs up if you are into that, and an unsucky one is bad, a sacriliege of vampiredom.   The movies [...]

Friday the 13th

Posted by: branwynne77 on: February 14, 2009

Yes, it is Friday the thirteenth. Not only that, but the new “vision” of the Jason Voorhees saga came out today also.
It wasn’t as horrible as I thought it would be. I liked it, actually, as I didn’t go in expecting the Citizen Kane of horror movies. As per usual, it is a morality story [...]

Marley and Me

Posted by: branwynne77 on: January 17, 2009

Lots of people have complained that Marley and Me isn’t really a kids movie because the (SPOILER ALERT) dog dies.
The worse thing a parent can do is shield their kid from the inevitable fact that all life leads to death. Personally, maybe it’s better to learn it from a movie first, then in real life. [...]

Holy Homidical Clown, Batman!

Posted by: branwynne77 on: July 20, 2008

I’m going to keep this review short because I don’t trust myself not to accidentally “say” something…
I thought the new Batman movie was great, though it should have been The Psychotic Clown. Really, Heath stole the show. His mania filled the screen and made his presence just pop. Bale seemed a little dull compared to him, [...]

‘Roid Rage

Posted by: branwynne77 on: June 23, 2008

So I just saw The Incredible Hulk…and loved it. It was a fun escape from the toils and tribulations of this workaday world.
It’s completely different from Ang Lee’s version–Ang Lee tried to present a more cerebral vision of the brawny green giant and that didn’t exactly pan out. I guess one shouldn’t overthink a character [...]

In Short…

Posted by: branwynne77 on: May 20, 2008

Sweeney Todd + Tim Burton = homicidal awesomeness.  Yeah, I borrowed that word from the ISB.** What’s that blogger gonna do to me? Give me paper cuts from horrible, outdated, misogynistic comic books? I kid, I kid.
In truth, there IS a hero in this movie, but it ain’t Sweeney. Duh, I know.  And it ain’t [...]

The Golden Compass: Just a Novel/Movie or an Attack on Christianity?

Posted by: branwynne77 on: December 9, 2007

So the author is an atheist writing childrens’ books. I notice no one really objects that several Christian authors put some theology in their fantasy fiction. Anyhow, big whoopin’ deal. To be honest, a lot of kids are exposed to all sorts of different ideas in school, so they’ve already been “opened” to atheism. I [...]

In the air there is a feeling…of horror.

Posted by: branwynne77 on: October 6, 2007

There are some movies I’m going to see over the next few weeks:
Resident Evil: Extinction (love Milla Jovovich) and Saw IV.
I’m going to see RE tomorrow and Saw IV when it comes out on October 26th. (Sorry, Dustin, for not waiting for you.) Even though I like the Resident Evil series, I must say that [...]

The Day The Earth ….Stopped Coming up with New Ideas

Posted by: branwynne77 on: August 31, 2007

Please don’t ruin this classic movie for me by remaking it. What movie, you ask?  The powers that be have decided it would be a wise move to redo The Day The Earth Stood Still.
NOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Ok, so I never really liked TDTESS, but I recognize it as a good classic movie.  Hey, just because I dislike [...]

Best Simpsons Ever!

Posted by: branwynne77 on: August 5, 2007

Yeah, I got to see the Simpsons movie yesterday. Finally. To my dismay, the movie theater was packed. (Did I mention I don’t like throngs of people?) Noisy boys geeks sitting just behind me, well behaved kids in front of me (Ye Gods, why would anyone let an eight year old watch a PG-13 movie? [...]
