Movie Monday



In 2006 astronomers declared that Pluto was no longer considered a planet.


A few weeks ago Pluto Nash was named worst movie flop of the decade...

Lets be like astronomers and just strip it of its "movie" classification. Then we can blow it up with the Death star along with all the worlds worst movies.


A recent film that needs to explode is Paranormal Activity.

- 90 mins of Ghost Hunters does not constitute a movie. Especially if 84 of those 90 mins are more IN-active than a coma stricken quadrapolegic. "But she stood by the bed and watched him sleep for hours!!!" People, its not hard to speed up 10 mins of film, put a fake time stamp on it, and make it look like someone is the worlds most dedicated peeping tom. Not every movie effect is a giant tidal wave that destroys the world. If you thought this was real then its time to reevaluate your life.


However, if youre looking for an underrated movie check out Mr. Brooks.

It reminds me a lot of Showtimes Dexter, which i quite enjoy. Aside from Demi Moore thinking shes auditioning for GI JANE 2, and a Matrix-esque shoot out scene, i was pleasantly surprised. Somehow, this movie survives despite Dane Cook playing a fairly significant role (his acting is slightly more tolerable than his stand up) Kevin Kostner is fantastic as a conflicted family man and killer. Its clear that his career could have really benefited from playing the bad guy more often. But the scene stealer is William Hurt as Kostners twisted inner monolouge that really gives us a peek into the mind of a sociopath. Put it on your Netflix, you wont be disappointed.

  1. I wish Kevin Costner would spell his last name with a K. And admit to doing so cuz he's such a fan of Keeping up with the Kardashians.
