I usually don't look forward to too many comedy movies.  I'm more of a suspense/thriller kind of guy.  Even a good documentary type movie, such as Michael Moore's work, I can look forward to.  Comedy is a genre that I usually just stumble upon.  If it's funny, I keep watching.  If it's not, I eject or tune out. But the debut of The Social Network this... [Read more...]

I'm somewhat of a movie purist.  If given the opportunity to see the original version of a film - even if it's in a foreign language - I'd choose it over seeing the English language remake.  For example, I just saw the original Swedish version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.  Great movie!  I had no problem following the subtitles and now I have no desire... [Read more...]
