“This book kicks ass. There’s this talking snake, and a naked chick, and then this dude puts a leaf on his schlong.” “Cool.”
Poltergeist (1982) – Quickie Review
When I was a kid, this was it. This was the movie that scared the shit out of me. And to this day, I still get a little apprehensive when I go to re-watch it. It ends up not having the same effect, but those past memories are ever present. I saw this movie when …

Hobo With A Shotgun – Quickie Review

“Just because a man’s lying down doesn’t mean he’s dead!”
Rango – Quickie Review
Absolutely gorgeous looking, Oscar winning animated film. Definitive proof animation does not have to be in 3D to be rich in texture and to pop off the screen. Smart script, perhaps more geared towards adults, but still enough to keep kids’ attention. One of my favourite animated films.
