George Lucas Makes Us So Mad!

Wednesday, February 22, 2012 No Comments

In this week’s video, L.E. and Nathan talk about the man deified by some, vilified by others; a man without whom we would have no lightsabers or Jedi. Of course, we would have no Jar Jar or re-re-remastered cuts, and probably no walkie talkies in ET either. Yep, we’re talking George Lucas. Click the link to watch!

It’s informative, funny, and is a fascinating window into how people reacted [...]

Rebecca

Rebecca (Blu-ray)

Wednesday, February 15, 2012 No Comments

Watching his films, we get but a glimpse into the inner workings of Alfred Hitchcock’s vast creative faculties. And Rebecca is but one example of his filmmaking prowess. This is not to denigrate any of the other folks responsible for the making of the film, as a movie is a collaborative effort, where each of [...]

Cold Hard Games

I got served… dinner, by Nintendo

Monday, February 13, 2012 No Comments

Tables swathed in black tablecloths, fitted with an array of glistening metal cutlery, glasses of various sizes, and delicately luminescent candles were setup in Tattoo Rock Parlour (in downtown Toronto) creating a very intimate atmosphere for the Nintendo Cold Hard Games event last Thursday night. For a Nintendo function, this was certainly out of the [...]

The Manchu Eagle Murder Caper Mystery

The Manchu Eagle Murder Caper Mystery

Wednesday, February 8, 2012 No Comments

The name was not the most ridiculous part of The Manchu Eagle Murder Caper Mystery. I was never sure while watching it whether the movie wanted to be taken seriously. There were many scenes, and certain dialogue sections that were all too wacky, but then at the same time, it tried to be this murder [...]

Manhattan

Manhattan (Blu-ray)

Tuesday, February 7, 2012 No Comments

I am not so fond of Manhattan, the city that is. Being brought up in the suburbs of Toronto, the hustle, bustle, and not to mention the cornucopia of rancid odors that permeate my nostrils with their distinctive, yet equally unsatisfying, aromas of the Manhattan ecosystem, never appealed to me. But as much as I [...]

Starbuck

Starbuck

Friday, February 3, 2012 No Comments

Starbuck opens with a man, a directionless man, who is deep in debt to the wrong people, and decides, in his vast brilliance, to start growing marijuana. We also learn very early on that his ex(ish)-girlfriend, who happens to be a cop, is pregnant. With these two big plot points, and their levels of interconnectivity, [...]
