From what I know, this movie wasn’t part of a huge advertising mega-campaign. I really didn’t hear anything about it, and when I asked my buddy at work, he said he had heard exactly ‘jack’ and ‘shit’ about it as well. So, I’m just writing to give folks a heads up on this movie that is definitely good enough to deserve the attention. Beneath Hill 60 takes place during World War I and focuses on a group of Australian miners that joined the war effort to dig tunnels beneath the battlefields of Europe. If you are claustrophobic, this movie will most likely have you gulping for air. The craziest thing about the movie? It’s based on true events.
As is the case with most, if not all war movies (besides maybe Stripes), the movie is definitely a tear-jerker. There’s plenty of emotion in the movie and the cast does an excellent job keeping the viewer in the moment. Overall, a very good war movie, while the subject matter gives it enough twist on the normal to make it stand out.
*My home theater got a massive workout with this movie. The movie’s soundtrack goes from periods of dead silence to massive explosions and back again. Very cool.

Enjoy,

Good ole Banksy was invited to add his particularly neato sense of style to this intro of The Simpsons. Peep game:

I’ve always found it particularly awesome that so many Fox shows have taken shots at their parent company, while airing on the parent company’s channels. I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure this started with Married With Children, and has since been adopted by quite a few. I’d say the masters of this has got to be The Simpsons. Nice to see them give Banksy the chance to storyboard and script his own version.

I’m not sure how much publicity or advertising this movie got, but I only heard that it was made/released when it came out on Blu-Ray. I sat down to watch this, with meager expectations, due to the less than stellar previous releases in the Alien Vs Predator (AVP) series. This movie is actually more of a part 3 to the original Predator (1987) and Predator 2 (1990) films.
In my opinion, this movies was super fun to watch. I think it was cool on the action, the acting was solid enough to keep me interested, and the plot was an interesting twist on the first two. This is definitely the movie that fans of the original movies were looking for.
If you dug either of the first versions, I’d definitely recommend sitting down to this one. Overall a fun action/sci-fi to experience.

I checked out this movie called ‘Gunless’ the other night and was pleasantly surprised. It’s a Canadian movie about an American gunslinger that ends up in a small town in Canada…that is full of nice people. This isn’t one of those life-changer flicks, but it’s definitely worth checking out. It’s got some cool characters, the acting is well done, and the overall flow of the movie is just right for a relaxing evening on the couch. The main character is played by Paul Gross and the leading lady is Sienna Guillory. Both are convincing and believable. I guess the genre would be a comedy, drama, western.
Since I had never heard of it, it probably didn’t have a mega-million dollar advertising budget, so I’m helping spread the word. I’ll admit, I do dig the genre, so that probably added to my enjoyment of the movie.
Check it out for yourself.

I’m not a fan of the show, but the Boondocks definitely have one of the coolest theme songs on TV. Here’s the Season 3 intro sequence by Asheru:

*Plus lyrics:

“I am the stone that the builder refused
I am the visual, the inspiration
That made Lady Sing the Blues…
I’m the spark that makes your idea bright
The same spark that lights the dark
So that you can know your left from your right…
I am the ballot in the box, the bullet in the gun
The innerglow that lets you know
To call your brother sun…
The story that just begun
The promise of what’s to come
And I’m a remain a soldier ’til the war is won
Judo Flip, chop chop chop (etc)”

Don’t do it. I watched this last night thinking it was a comedy. You know, since it’s in the comedy section? I think someone made a mistake because this shit isn’t funny. If you are into drama’s about gay dudes, then this is definitely your type of shiz. If not, steer clear. I was all prepped for a friggin comedy, with the standard glass of booze at my side, and the next thing I know, I’m watching some soap opera bullshit.
The movie isn’t horrible, it just is not a comedy. Also, be warned: If you’re not gay or used to being around very gay men, this movie will make you uncomfortable. I don’t care what folks want to do in privacy…but watching two hairy dudes kiss just ain’t my type of shit.

I don’t know about the 100 greatest movie insults, but definitely some good ones in there.
