Other than Pixar, I can ‘t think of anyone with as much pressure to deliver quality movies as Christopher Nolan. Since The Dark Knight was released 3 years ago, moviegoers everywhere have been anxious to hear how Batman would follow up the disaster he was left in. Set 8 years after The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises (DKR) finds […]
Although I first played the Tron game in high school, I didn’t watch the 1982 movie until arriving at college. At that point, the technology, both in the movie and the special effects, were dated, and my friend Jordan and I laughed at the 80s culture. Even so, the imaginative take on the inner world […]
You must go to see this movie. Anything more that I would say would diminish the experience. You must go to see this movie.
(Author’s Note: shameless plug! A few friends and I are writing for a cooking blog at http://kitchenburn.blogspot.com/ . Check it out for some hilarity) Before heading out to the midnight premiere, my friend Leland emailed out a warning about the movie: 10% fresh on rottentomatoes.com .

I’ve been lazy lately, and I will continue to be lazy. Here’s a review for MacGruber that I just wrote for The Unofficial Stanford Blog. While you’re there, subscribe to the best source of real Stanford news.

My draw group talks about movies and TV a lot, and whenever we mentioned upcoming movies, Avatar came up. As such, Alex has told me at least 5 times, “This is the movie that James Cameron has wanted to make for 15 years but has been waiting for the technology to get good enough to […]
(in the spirit of reviews, I’ll try to dodge spoilers, even if the ending to this Harry Potter book was an internet frenzy) It’s been awhile since I saw Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, but a quick refresher from my last review reminds me that I didn’t like it. The movie felt […]
I had only just gotten out of my seat, not even to the aisle, before I already wanted to see the sequel. This evening, my dormmates and I went to a late 11:00 showing of “Star Trek.” Having watched the trailers, I got the gist of the movie. We were going to rewind all the […]
Many of you probably haven’t seen the movie yet, but promise me, you’ve seen this movie before. Though perhaps not quite so shamelessly. It was fun. I can promise that. My dorm organized a trip to see “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” this evening, mostly because of the trailer. Like any good action trailer, it flashes a […]
