Zombieland – A Movie Review

October 27, 2009 John Comedy, Jesse Eisenberg, oody Harrelson, Ruben Fleischer, Zombies

Two men have found a way to survive a world overrun by zombies. Columbus is a big wuss — but when you’re afraid of being eaten by zombies, fear can keep you alive. Tallahassee is an AK-totin’, zombie-slayin’ badass whose single determination is to get the last Twinkie on earth. As they join forces with Wichita and Little Rock, who have also found unique ways to survive the zombie mayhem, they will have to determine which is worse: relying on each other or succumbing to the zombies. It’s just a fun movie, probably worth watching, but won’t make it on anyone’s greatest films ever award.

Desperate to get her son into a better school, Rose persuades Norah to go into the crime scene clean-up business with her to make some quick cash. Lay and I both agreed it is probably the best film we’ve seen recently.

Zack and Miri Make a Porno – A Movie Review

April 26, 2009 John Comedy, Craig Robinson, Elizabeth Banks, gay porn star, Jason Mewes, Katie Morgan, Kevin Smith, Porno, Seth Rogen

As Jackie Treehorn laments in The Big Lebowski, pornos these days lack plot, and production values, and feelings. Kevin Smith’s “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” would make Jackie quite proud. “Zack and Miri” gets very good performances from everybody and it manages to do what a lot of romantic comedies this year have not been able to do, which is earn the laughs and earn the love of it’s two characters. It’s funny and fun and worth every minute.

Synecdoche, New York – A Movie Review

March 23, 2009 John Catherine Keener, Charlie Kaufman, Comedy, Drama, Michelle Williams, Philip Seymour Hoffman

Theater director Caden Cotard is mounting a new play. His life catering to suburban blue-hairs at the local regional theater in Schenectady, New York is looking bleak. His wife Adele has left him to pursue her painting in Berlin, taking their young daughter Olive with her. His therapist, Madeleine Gravis, is better at plugging her best-seller than she is at counseling him. A new relationship with the alluringly candid Hazel has prematurely run aground. Worried about the transience of his life, he leaves his home behind. He gathers an ensemble cast into a warehouse in New York City, hoping to create a work of brutal honesty. Worth watching, but be prepared to have to think. I’m still trying to decipher the meaning of the burning house.
