Two days in a row with posts! Huzzah! To herald my re-emergence on such a glorious day, I give you a Star Wars conspiracy theory I actually buy into. If I’m wrong, oh well. I doubt we’ll ever get a … Continue reading →

Sweet, Sweet Comeuppance – Witchfinder General (1968)

Posted on July 4, 2013 by Sir Phobos

I love watching movies where royal assholes get what’s coming to them. I really do. There’s something about knowing the entire movie is building to one singular moment, and in that moment, the dick who’s been walking around like king … Continue reading →

Introspection and Then Some – Wild Strawberries (1957)

Posted on June 12, 2013 by Sir Phobos

It’s been a while since I’ve watched an Ingmar Bergman film. I don’t remember how I got into his works, but everything I’ve seen from him has made an impression on me. In fact, over the years, he’s become one … Continue reading →

Just in Time for the Weekend

Posted on May 10, 2013 by Sir Phobos

Let’s find the easiest target to pick on…hmm…ah, yes. Twilight. Right, so here’s a bad lip reading of New Moon. I have it on good authority that the dialogue in this video is orders of magnitude greater than the original. … Continue reading →

I See Boobs and Stuff – Burlesque (2010)

Posted on January 19, 2013 by Sir Phobos

Just so you know, this was my wife’s choice of entertainment a few nights ago. We tend to trade off; I’ll pick a movie, then she picks one. I’m just informing you of the situation, because Burlesque isn’t the kind … Continue reading →

Posted on January 12, 2013 by Sir Phobos

Valhalla Rising is an insanely atmospheric, slow-burning, contemplative, and violent story of an escaped slave (Mads Mikkelsen) who makes his way across the ocean in a very bizarre, very bloody journey of redemption(?) and/or fate(?). It’s kind of like something … Continue reading →
