Avenging "The Avengers"

No, not the Marvel movie. I'm talking about the 1998 film starring Uma Thurman and Ralph Fiennes (who looks damn good when he's not all Voldy btw). If you've never heard of this film, which received some of the worst reviews in movie history, as well as a Razzie award for worst remake or sequel, it's based on a 1960s British TV series. When Americans redo British shows, they typically pale in comparison  (with the exception of The Office, which is infinitely better, from what I've seen). The quick-witted, subtle humor often fails to excite the audience to laughter and awareness that there is in fact great chemistry between the two protagonists (a magazine also voted the pair the worst of all time). If we don't actually see them engaged in the sweaty throes of passion, there's obviously nothing there, right? The attraction is evident, but there's nothing wrong with exercising some restraint in the name of mutual respect and maintaining an air of profe...

When DID Harry Meet Sally?

A similar question might be, "When the fuck did we get ice cream?!" If you've never seen the film co-written by Norah Ephron and Ron Reiner, then you're welcome to keep reading. You're way behind the times anyway...granted I had never seen it either til a few years ago when I was living with Jake, CJ and Laura at the scenic Lakewood apts in Tomball. Amenities include an on-site cemetary, which they don't mention online or include photos of in the brochure--but that's another story. My intention for this post is to attempt to answer that age-old question posed by Sally in my own words: Can men and women ever be "just friends" with each other? Why or why NOT? My heart wants to answer this question with a resounding YES. My head begs to differ. Maybe that's on opposites day. Lets figure it out TOGETHER! Obviously when we meet someone we connect with and lo and behold even *gasp* LIKE...we may have this holy-shit-eureka type momen...

Three Movies that Wrecked My Psyche

1. The Butterfly Effect 2. A Clockwork Orange 3. Tusk The theme all these films have in common is related to sexuality issues. I sneaked into the theater to see The Butterfly Effect, starring Ashton Kutcher. The movie was released in 2004, so I was fourteen years old and extremely impressionable. My cousins were with me there, at least one of them in that theater. I think we watched a few movies back to back that day. I looked on in horror as I saw child porn being made and to this day, I can still see that scene (thanks a ton, photographic memory). CHILD MOLESTATION IS THE LOWEST ACT THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE COMMITTED BY THE SCUM OF UNDESERVED LIFE. Other than that, the sickening portrayals through time and tries to fix everything in the past made by psych patient, Evan (little did I know I'd be visiting several wards myself one day), are enough to make your skin crawl. The poor man tries time and again to reverse the injustices inflicted upon his friends based on ...
