[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…

[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…

[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.

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)…

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…

[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…

[This was originally published on attrition.org.] Mars is one of the many recent space exploration movies, focused on the exploration/colonization of the planet Mars. The mystical red planet with the oh so famous ‘face‘ that lead people to wonder about ancient alien civilizations. Anyway, on to the movie… As with any movie remotely technical or…
