flashback review Casino Royale: A return to form

Casino Royale was touted as the relaunch to bring Bond back to his former glory. It has a grittier approach with a new face for Bond and a redefinition of the series. My short review of the film, it was crap, and it truly was a return to form. The same form that has been established with the preceding installments of the franchises films that lead to short box offices and hack attempts at continuing a legend. Before you buy the dvd on tuesday, consider this review when the inevitable double dip is right around the corner.

flashback review Borat gives Americas colonoscopy

Using absurdity to prove a point, Sacha Baron Cohen is a maestro at improvisational acting. After screening Borat (engage long title) Will Ferrel said he was near tears because he knew he could never be as funny as Cohen. Before Snakes on a Plane started, the Borat trailer ran and the theater audience went wild when he introduced himself and begged for their dollar. You could not even call it a cult film, as it lived up to its promises in spades at the box office. Read on in my flashback review, as originally written after first viewing.

Everything’s Gone Green is author Douglas Copelands (Generation X) freshmen outing into the film industry. I traveled to Hollywood to screen a film that had only been seen at the Toronto Film Festival thus far. Its a bit off the geek path, but I strongly feel its a total guys movie. I call it a romantic comedy without the romance. Read about this refreshing film partnered with a little side story in my review of Everythings’s Gone Green.

How not to get laid in Los Angeles. Part 1? Kevin Smith said it best. If you are a lady in the market for a man you could have your pick of the litter at the Marvel then and now presentation held at UCLA in December of 06. I held witness to Kevin Smith, Joe Quesada and the slightly confused man himself Stan Lee waxing on about Marvels history and the future to come. Read my report of the evening that had comics biggest names all under one roof.
