Spoiler Warning: Worrying that spoilers will ruin this movie is kind of like worrying about a hangnail on a hand that just got chopped off, but if you don’t want to miss out on experiencing all the Snyderiffic magic for yourself, you might want to wait until you’ve seen the movie to read this. When […]
I didn’t know much about The Witch going in, but had a vague impression from half-skimmed headlines and Tweets that I would enjoy it. I did enjoy it, but in the way you’d enjoy an interesting show on the History Channel back before it got taken over by aliens and Templars. Sort of that “well, […]
Brainfart’s newest publication, 20 Movies You Probably Haven’t Seen Reviewed By Some Guy You Don’t Know, is now available in Kindle format exclusively from Amazon. As the name implies, it contains reviews of 20 movies that most people haven’t seen. Some of them are obscure, some are famous flops, and others are too weird for […]
Before I start the review, I want to thank Josh Burnett, Leighton Connor, Jeffrey Johnson, and Carter Newton. We discussed the movie during the monthly Hex Games Skype meet-up last night, and during the discussion they said some of the things I wanted to say in this review much better than I would have said […]
This review contains some spoilers, but that probably doesn’t matter because I doubt you’ll want to see the movie by the time we’re done. Krampus starts out looking like a standard Christmas movie with Adam Scott and Toni Collette’s family getting ready for the arrival of Collette’s sister, her Cousin Eddie-like husband (David Koechner), and […]
Vin Diesel is kind of an enigma. The first, second, and third impression of him is that he’s a dumb but sincere bro type who honestly believes he’s making great movies. But every now and then it seems like he might actually be in on the joke: he does an interview that borders on articulate […]
If you’ve seen the trailers, you know that The Martian is about Matt Damon getting stranded on Mars and growing potatoes while NASA tries to come up with a plan to save him before he starves to death. In that respect, the movie doesn’t hold many surprises. There are the expected complications, but that’s pretty […]
Hellbenders is the story of the Augustine Interfaith Order of Hellbound Saints, which is basically the nuclear option for getting rid of demons. The idea is that when exorcism and other demon-banishing tricks just won’t work, a hellbound saint will allow himself to get possessed and then commit suicide, dragging the demon to Hell with […]
I’ve always thought of the first half of the 80s as sort of a golden age of comedy film: the Not Ready For Primetime Players were branching out into movie careers, guys like Lands, Reitman, and Ramis were really figuring out what they were doing behind the camera, and the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker parody formula hadn’t gotten […]
I have a confession to make: I’ve never listened to Pet Sounds. At least not as an album; Looking over the track list, I have heard a lot of the songs, and a couple of them would be at the top of my list if somebody asked me to name the best Beach Boys songs. […]
