Bad Teacher, 2011, ComedyPlot: A teacher goes through a semi-midlife crisis and begins to date one of her coworkers. Thoughts: Jason Segel really saved this movie with his comedic timing. JT really just needs to stick to singing because I have yet to be impressed by his thespian skills. The story was paced pretty well,Continue reading “Bad Teacher”

Natural Born Killers, 1994, Psycho-Drama (if that’s a genre)Plot: A psychotic couple travel along a highway, killing people for no good reason and are exploited by the mass media. Thoughts: This was a movie that could only come from Oliver Stone or Quentin Tarantino…and of course it did. Woody Harrelson continues to be one ofContinue reading “Natural Born Killers”

Monsters, 2010, Sci-FiPlot: A woman and her guide make the trek from Mexico to America despite the dangerous giant aliens that loom in the Central American jungles. Thoughts: This movie felt shorter than it actually was but it was beautifully shot (by far Central America has the best landscapes for film). The special effects wereContinue reading “Monsters”

Girl in Gold Boots, 1968, DramaPlot: A girl goes for a life on the edge wanting to become a go-go dancer in the city. Thoughts: This movie was lame and that’s pretty much all I can say. The MST3K version was fantastic though. The story includes a character literally being inserted midway into a shot.Continue reading “MST3K: Girl in Gold Boots”

Old School, 2003, ComedyPlot: After being cheated on by his significant other, a man has a mid-life crisis and, along with his 2 best friends, founds a fraternity at a local University.

MST3K: Touch of Satan, originally released 1971, HorrorPlot: A man travels to a random town and ends up staying with a cursed family. Thoughts: The premise of this movie is part of the problem…everything else enhances said problem. The acting, dialogue, special effects, anything. I was creeped out by the old lady but more so byContinue reading “MST3K: Touch of Satan”

Pan’s Labyrinth, 2006, FantasyPlot: A young girl’s taken on a quest that has the ability to sway the momentum during the Spanish Civil War, but is her new life purely imagined?

Tales from Earthsea, 2006, FamilyPlot: A kid investigates after people begin to see dragons around their area and meets someone who may be friend or foe. Thoughts: This was created by Miyazaki the son not the father; and, in so many words, it showed. The story was paced well and beautifully animated but it justContinue reading “Tales from Earthsea”
