Krissy and I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest this afternoon (as there was an open house of our apartment form 1-3), and I have to say, it was very disappointing. It wasn’t a bad movie, but it lacked the “Wow, Disney effectively changed a popular theme-park ride into a movie” [...]
I had a rather busy weekend. I have a very odd work schedule now with the new Netscape launched. My editorial shift is basically 8-2 Monday through Thursday and then again on Saturdays. Since in addition to being one of the lead anchors for the site, I’m also the Managing Editor, I inevitably have some [...]
I discovered that Prom, if you aren’t young and/or dancing is insanely disappointing. It was like attending a dry wedding.
Yesterday was more fun, as we went to the movies, then dinner, then bowling (YEAH!) with Laura, Mike, Terry, and Mags in celebration of Laura’s birthday. The only disappointing bit of the afternoon / night was [...]
“I’m really glad Stanley Kubrick isn’t around anymore to make us feel uncomfortable.”—a few days after seeing Full Metal Jacket for the first time.
Check it out: Samurai 7, an animated series based on The Seven Samurai is debuting on IFC tonight. I’m glad I saw this post, so I can now record it.
Check it out. I interviewed a Director: Video Interview: Philip Groening, Director of Into Great Silence.
I’m tired. I’m in Utah, helping the Cinematical and Blogging Sundance teams cover all that can be covered at Sundance. We’re rocking the coverage with tons of reviews and a slew of mini-video reviews.
It’s fun and exciting but I’m feeling a little worn out from all the energy. Utah is beautiful with the snow [...]
Great interview over at Cinematical. And it’s only part 1.
I want these. Consider this an addition to my Christmas list, everyone.
Man. When people hate what I write, they really hate it.
Kristin, Mags, and I went to see A History of Violence last night, and I did something I haven’t done in a while; I wrote a review of it over at Cinematical:
I’m thinking of writing Karina, Ebert, and Roeper and asking for my money back on this one. It wasn’t horrible or even necessarily a [...]
Penguins
Originally uploaded by C.K. Sample, III.
We just saw March of the Penguins. Good film.
I enjoyed it, as did Kristin. During the credits, they run footage of the film crew working. I can’t imagine hanging out in those conditions to film what was filmed, but seeing [...]
There’s a Futurama movie in the works. It’ll be straight to video, but hopefully that won’t automatically mean that it’s a lesser version of the show.
PSP UMD Movie Reviews site is up and they have a downloadable PSP-viewable version of their first issue. Cool.
