Rudy.”KnowingOscar – “As long has his recessed hairline isn’t staring in it.” Nathan – “Maybe he will ...

This week, I bought the latest Death Cab for Cutie album, Narrow Stairs and it is just so gorgeous. The sound is immersive and the lyrics are spell-binding.As I was reading a devotion this morning from Psalms, I fell into some thoughts about the song “I Will Possess Your Heart” that gave it some real meaning. In Psalms 16:9-11, David says:No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice.My body rests in safety.For you will ...

Here we are, at it again. Saturday night’s trailer judges gave an average score of 7 (except for the German judge … 5 on that one). Enjoy the treats!Meet BillJimison – “Meet Stupid … he brought Bill with him.”Shotgun StoriesJodie – “Is he at least wearing pants at the funeral? Or is it just an undershirt and tightie whities?” Oscar – “Is that even how you spell tightie whities?”My Blueberry NightsJodie – “Tomorrow … we’re ...

We realized tonight that it has been a while since the four of us have gotten a chance to enjoy some yummy movie trailers together, so Jodie, Courtney, Jimison and I got together and worked our way through a few of the over 130 trailers we have missed. Hope you enjoy!BlindessJodie – “Danny Glover with an eye patch. Nuh’ said.”War, Inc.Jimison – “The Cusacks go to war!”Glass, a Portrait of Philip In 12 PartsCourtney – ...

Brick (2005) (uploaded by DRA Studio)5 out of 5 glasses of country Apple JuiceI usually don't like writing up reviews for movies I consider my favorites, which this film immediately became one of ... so go check out what this guy said instead or comment with what you thought about it.

Smokin’ Aces (2006) (uploaded by DRA Studio)5 out of 5 burst and bloody arteriesJust watched Smokin’ Aces the other night. Wow. And more wow. While there is far too much profanity and bloodshed to safely recommend this to any of my friends, it is by far one of the best movies I have seen in a while. The immersive story-line is great and similar to something like Ocean’s 11 … just replace every time ...

After a fun night out, our movie review gang (Jodie, Courtney, Jimison and I) headed back home and watched a couple of new movie trailers. Enjoy!Man in the Chair – “Hey, its the Karate Kid for film-makers!” – JimisonThe Perfect Holiday – “I saw Mommie cap’n Santa” … “probably gonna be the funniest line in this movie.” – CourtneyPerepolis – “Apparently they don’t have color in animated Russia.” – JimisonRambo – “He’s a legend of ...

So we hooked up the MacBook in the living room tonight and watched a bunch trailers together (Courtney, Jimison, Jodie and I, that is). We picked the best comments and posted here for your enjoyment. Let’s go!P.S. I Love You – “Creepy love letters from beyond the grave.” – JodieRedacted – “Words were never so noisy.” – OscarStarting Out in the Evening – “That girl was creepy … like the girl version of the joker.” ...

The title for this post seems fitting, seeing as how the many of the movies currently out and/or being promoted are of horrible quality/substance. Let’s see if we can find anything worth watching …Southland Tales – Neither Jodie or myself know what this movie is about. Seriously, this could be a trailer for any movie … or even a movie just pieced together with clips from 10 other movies. Would it help anything if I ...

I can’t wait to pick up the new Foo Fighters album … here is my favorite track so far … I really like the video for it.

So I know that I have been hitting the movie trailers pretty hard this week, but really, what is wrong with that? Here I go again, this time with some trailers that Jodie probably won’t want to watch with me.Saw IV – Wow. Not really much of a trailer at all … but then again, I haven’t really followed the series, so I don’t have anything invested in another sequel.Hatchet – Uh … this just ...

Oh … it is finally coming … I am excited. Now if only they would release a premiere date.Update: So I just finished watching the newest Totally Rad Show and they hated a LOT on the unreleased pilot for this show. Here’s hoping they were at least partially wrong.

It’s strikes back time … with our two cents on a few more movie trailers.I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With – So this is pretty much just Jeff Garlin’s real life problems, with some clean Sarah Silverman fun. Huh.The Comebacks – Makes more sense than “Walk Hard”, but still looks dumb.Eastern Promises – Viggo Mortensen isn’t enough to make me want to watch this … while it looks interesting, it seems a bit on ...

Jodie and I sat down in the studio and watched a couple of upcoming movie trailers … here are our thoughts:Beowulf – Jodie says that it crosses the line between having to hire actors and computer animation that looks exactly like the actors. I think minus Angelina Jolie it might actually be a good movie. Jodie also think it reminds her of video game cut scenes … which I tend to agree with. Will this ...

Here’s Round Three of my upcoming movie trailer reviews … this time curteous of the sweet HD Movie Trailers section of the iTunes Store that I forgot was there.Dan in Real Life – Was it just me or was this an unusual story-line that developed as the trailer went on? I won’t see this because as you all know, I don’t really do mushy … but I won’t hold that against Steve Carell. This actually ...

Round Two of my trailer reviews:In the Shadow of the Moon – I don’t my generation was really that big on the whole “space thing”, but that hasn’t stopped me from having interest and intrigue in the stars above. If you enjoyed the great From the Earth to the Moon series that was out a few years ago, this is probably going to be another great treasure for you.The Spiderwick Chronicles- This looks to be ...

I just got caught up on my Apple Trailers, so here’s the rundown on what looks good and what I wouldn’t waste my money on.Dedication – This looks like something that will be honest and real. I think I will like the ungrounded nature of Billy Crudup’s character (He was great in MI:III). And why not give the director, Justin Theroux, props on a cute little trailer intro … with his MacBook Pro flip-around.National Treasure ...

It feels good to get back into the swing of things and let loose on the posts. I toyed around with the idea of migrating to yet another blog system, but it is so hard to find a great client that supports Textile (which I am sick on now, thanks to BaseCamp) and with the recent re-domain-ing, SimpleLog seems to be pushing this out just fine.So what has been filling my eyes and head recently, ...
