  • June 2008 Reviews (In the Name of the King, Balls of Fury, Reno 911!: Miami)

    [This was originally published on attrition.org.] This Movie Bits review is dedicated to a few recent comedies. In the Name of the King 2007 Some mythical land, some boring king, some farmer that must be a hero since there is focus on him. So normal and so not a hero that he is only known as Farmer, how…

  • March 2008 Reviews (I Am Legend, Rescue Dawn, Transformers)

    [This was originally published on attrition.org.] I Am Legend 2007 Jericho I like post-apocolyptic flicks. The idea of large cesspools we call cities being completely wiped of humanity is great. Let the animals run free, let the buildings fade away. Unfortunately, that movie isn’t appealing to the masses without a lone survivor to fight some…

  • Movie Review: Lucky Number Slevin

    [This was originally published on attrition.org.] This movie is either about horrifying the viewer with the worst wallpapers ever conceived, or one of the ultimate tales of revenge. This movie is also hard to properly review without ruining vital parts of it, so bear with me. Slevin Kelevra (Josh Hartnett) is the wrong guy in…

  • Movie Review: Dogma

    [This was originally published on attrition.org.] Upon release of this movie, the Religious Right were once again pissed off. And yet again they proved beyond doubt they had no sense of humor. If you can’t laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at. Dogma is the story of Bartleby (Affleck) and Loki (Damon), two angels cast…

    [This was originally published on attrition.org.] The Yards (2/5 rating) – Leo (Mark Walburg) is finally out of jail after serving 2 years for stealing a car. He just wants a straight life in order to take care of his family. Instead of a regular job, he falls back in with his best friend (Joaquin Phoenix)…

  • April 2001 Reviews (The Crow 3, Red Planet, The 6th Day)

    [This was originally published on attrition.org.] The Crow – Salvation (2/5 rating) – The Crow is a movie that is hard to describe, one that words can barely do justice for. As with many movies, the desire to make a sequel and keep the ‘story’ alive is based more in monetary profit than love of the…

  • Movie Review: The Replacements

    [This was originally published on attrition.org.] When this movie came out, I quickly dismissed it as a movie I could live without. You have a sports reject team put together (Major League turned football), and Keanu Reaves (Dude..). These two thrown together didn’t seem like a winner pick at the time. Months later and one…
