Chew on This 2

By Matt • Jul 18th, 2010

Chew 2: International Flavor is a great follow up to the first installment of the series by Rod Guillory and John Layman.  There is always some apprehension when dealing with a bold idea like Chew.  Especially one includes poultry bans, vampires and food based superpowers.
Tony gets a “new” partner and sets off on the trail [...]



Sequel Hell

By Matt • Jun 29th, 2010

It has become a ridiculous cliche in our society.  A politician or celebrity gets caught doing something they should not have been doing in the first place, this sets in motion a public relations machine.  Eventually the confessor makes a forced apology on Oprah and we as a nation say they learned their lesson.
There are [...]



Chew on This

By Matt • Jun 8th, 2010

When it comes to comics I prefer limited series or those that are not part of the major DC or Marvel universes.  Those get a little out of control and I don’t feel like having Wikipedia open so I can look something up every five seconds.  The comics I really enjoy are those such as [...]



This Week in Netflix 3

By Matt • May 20th, 2010

This week was a mixed bag.  Each of the following films is available via instant view on Netflix so they can be watched easily.
Ong-Bak: Thai Warrior(2003)

Martial arts films have never been one of my favorite genres.  I just can’t get into them, that was until I saw Ong-Bak: Thai Warrior.  In a small Thai village [...]



This Week in Netflix No. 2

By Matt • Apr 25th, 2010

Hopefully in the next few weeks I will get a better schedule down for these reviews.  I don’t generally watch movies until I am really in the mood.  In the future I will try to get them out around Sunday but it depends on when I get around to watching them.
This week we have a [...]



Kick-Ass: The Review

By Matt • Apr 21st, 2010

Last Friday I sat in a darkened movie theater, wading through shitty trailers and waiting for what was in my mind the most anticipated movie of the year.  I was a little nervous at that point.  Could Kick-Ass possibly live up to the hype or was I being duped by another series of slick trailers [...]



Where were you when The Revolution began?

By Matt • Mar 27th, 2010

After watching Food Revolution’s premiere on ABC I came to two conclusions: School lunch is just as bad as when I was a kid and holy mother of god it may have gotten worse.  In this new series British chef Jamie Oliver is launching a campaign to improve the diets of school children in America [...]



Twilight and Hamburgers

By Matt • Mar 22nd, 2010

So last night Derek and I watched New Moon with Rifftrax.  Even with the addition of Mike Nelson and crew commenting on the film it was still a nearly unwatchable film.  It’s like some kind of thing that sucks the life out of you.  Now first I’ll point out that I do have two strikes [...]



Para-average Activity

By Matt • Feb 25th, 2010

Normally I would cheer on a film like Paranormal Activity.  It was made on shoestring budget and managed be one the biggest movie successes in 2009 raking in over 100 million dollars at the box office.  However, after watching it I am completely baffled by the positive critical response and by the buzz it generated.  [...]



Food Inc. Review: We have our Sinclair but where is our Roosevelt?

By Matt • Dec 10th, 2009

Food, Inc. is an evaluation of the costs and consequences of the food that we eat everyday.  It is also about the changes that have occurred in our food supply, most since the mid twentieth century.  Some are good some are bad but all have had serious consequences for both the consumer and the producer.  [...]
