Gone Girl (2014) Review

So, I went to see Gone Girl in theaters a couple of weeks ago. In Mexico. In Puebla to be exact. First time seeing a movie in a Mexican theater for me. And wouldn't you know it, Spanish subtitles are not as distracting as I feared they would be. And I've been lazily sitting on my notes since then.

The Witches (1990) Review

Is it possible to take a critical look at a childhood favorite without falling into the nostalgia trap? Well, I don't know, but guess what, I'll try to review The Witches anyways.

Cosmopolis (2012) Review

Man, I'm normally always in for odd, heady stuff. Jodorowsky, Gilliam, Haneke, von Trier, you name it and I'll be there. But what I have to deal with here is really pushing the boundary. But of course, I am getting a little ahead of myself.

Give me... 5 upcoming films based on ridiculous source material

Remember in the not so distant past, when everybody questioned whether a movie based on a Disneyland attraction was the height of cinematic suicide? Well, 4 movies and a couple billion dollars later one can safely say that the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise was definitely a good investment (at least financially, let's not even talk about the "quality" of the sequels). But then somebody came around and said, hey, that worked out just fine, let's make a big budget movie based on a board game that is about as exciting as watching paint dry. The result of that experiment-gone-wrong was Battleship, the notorious summer 2012 sci-fi dud.
