Review: Your Highness

The development metformin weight loss clomid process leading up to Your Highness went something like this:

Two studio executives kick back in a corner office bouncing ideas off one another.
Exec. #1: “ Hey I metformin hcl dosage just finished reading this awful script my assistant plopped on my desk. I bet we can sell the shit out of it!”
Exec. #2: “Fantastic!… So who do you think we can get?”
They email the script to Natalie Portman and Exec. #1 later follows up with a phone call.
Exec #1: “Natalie!… So you got the e-mail? Good. Now I understand you probably have some   reservations about the, um… scene. I realize you probably don’t want to do this, but if I might add… Oh. So you do want to do this?… Well great! I’ll have the thong overnighted to your house for a test-fitting!”

Killing Time 3: Quickfire Reviews

When I began my first website I used to do something I called “Quickfire Reviews,” which is pretty self-explanatory. I partially did it to just quickly roll through a bunch of films I had recently seen, and I partially did it because sometimes a thousand words are unnecessary when a few hundred will do well to get the opinion across. I’ve seen seven films in the past month I’d like to discuss in less than seven thousand words. But for now we’ll cover only four of those and leave the rest for the next round including Win Win, Super & Source Code.

Amy Adams is Lois Lane in next Superman

It’s official. The next woman behind the battling superhero (or, as she’s also known, the good-looking, sometimes sassy, chick behind the dude up front in the tights) is set. Amy Adams will take on the role of Lois Lane in Zack Snyder’s next comic-to-screen feature, Superman: Man of Steel.

Remade Right: Blade

The people have spoken. The world has had enough and so have I. The oversaturated modern vampire genre has reached its breaking point. The Twilight saga… True BloodThe Vampire DiariesHellcats… Things have gotten seriously out of hand around here. Vampires had a chance to redeem themselves with 2009’s Cirque Du Freak adaptation, The Vampire’s Assistant, but that turned out to be the worst raping of a good book since God Hates Us All was turned into A Crazy Little Thing Called Love. The time has come to kill off this cinematic plague with an anti-vampire remake about the world’s most prolific anti-vampire. I am of course talking about the one they call Blade

Review: Battle: Los Angeles

Battle: Los Angeles is more of a war film than a typical science fiction alien invasion plot, but you don’t need me to tell you that. The trailers and TV spots make it perfectly clear that Battle: LA owes more to films like Black Hawk Down or The Hurt Locker than Independence Day and War of the Worlds. Director Jonathan Liebsman uses the same visceral, “down in the trenches” style of camerawork that has become synonymous with the modern war epic to great effect. Instead of watching the battle from afar on a world-scale, you feel like you are witnessing a real invasion on ground level. The stark realism never fades and it is this quality that distinguishes Battle: LA from its contemporaries in what has become an increasingly crowded genre.

Review: The Adjustment Bureau

Let’s get this out there now: The Adjustment Bureau may be the best movie of 2011 so far. That might sound like faint praise considering we’re not even one full week into March, but it stands head and shoulders above the usual crop of scheduled mediocrity we get saddled with this time of year. Owe it to the story’s Philip K. Dick roots, the focus groups responsible for picking out Matt Damon’s ties, or Terrence Stamp, but somehow everything in The Adjustment Bureau clicks. It just feels right.
