Eminem nice to meet you

Borat is a tough act to follow, but watching Eminem storm out of the MTV Music Awards sure brings my hopes up for Sacha Baron Cohen’s upcoming move Brüno.

Quick review: X-Men Origins: Wolverine

I got to see X-Men Origins: Wolverine on Sunday night. This is my quick review. But before you read, consider this: I was an avid comic book reader as a kid. I generally like action, science fiction and superhero movies. I liked all the X-Men movies.
Now with all this said, let me tell you that X-Men [...]

Rudo y Cursi

People seem to love anything that Mexican actors Gael Garcia Bernal or Diego Luna do, especially since the extremely overrated Y tu mamá también. Perhaps everyone finds them too hot.
So I was not surprised to find out during my last trip that the new movie in which they appear together Rudo y cursi is all [...]

I watched the Watchmen

On a whim I decided to attend the Watchmen movie premiere last night. I read the re-print of the original 1986 graphic novel a few months ago and it’s great; it’s even listed as one of Time Magazine’s best 100 novels of all time.
This is not your usual superhero movie based on a comic book character [...]

100 best Iberoamerican movies of all times

Via Alejandro, I received this list of the 100 best Iberoamerican movies of all times according to a poll organized by NOTICINE.

Bale Out – RevoLucian’s Christian Bale Remix!

Christian Bale loses it on set one day and the next thing you know, we have a techno remix.
This one has the potential of reaching the heights of the infamous All Your Base Are Belong to Us music video (a personal favorite). Not safe for work, people: Profanity galore. Do not mess with Batman.

Indiana Jones: The abridged script

I actually enjoyed the new Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (whew, what a mouthful) movie. That said, you’ve got to read this abridged movie script. It’s very funny, a little bitter, and full of spoilers, so don’t read it if you haven’t seen the movie.

U2 3D

I went to see the new U2 3D movie at The Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum. It’s not a traditional movie with a storyline and a plot; but full songs from a concert (in Buenos Aires) recorded in 3d IMAX glory. The sound is fantastic and way louder than your average movie, and the [...]

Paradise Now (review)

I finally saw the controversial movie Paradise Now. I even wrote a lengthy (unfinished) post about it. However, due to the highly explosive (pun intended? I can’t help myself!) topic, the review needs to be very carefully written and that’s a lot of work. So I won’t finish it. I’ll summarize it though:
It’s a good [...]
