New Fast Food and Movie Reviews

From Del Taco:

Aside from Philadelphia, Santa Fe might just be the most name-checked city by fast food establishments. It theoretically gave us the best chicken sandwich Carls Jr. ever attempted (wholewheat bun, large green chile, chipotle sauce, cheese…yeppers) and now it presents, in name only, the Del Taco Santa Fe chicken soft taco. They could [...]

From the Memory Hole: My PASSION OF THE CHRIST review

Note to readers: during one of our site upgrades, the original review seems to have been lost. Thus, I am reposting it here, as I feel it’s one of my better pieces. This is the article I published here on the day PASSION first opened

I arrive at the Sony lot at approximately 1:30, for the [...]

The LO Down

(Obligatory Disclaimer: I have worked on prior films with some of the individuals involved in this one, and found the experience generally pleasant)

In a pitch black room, a young man named Justin (Ward Roberts) sits in a sacred circle, lighting candles, reciting from a Necronomicon-like tome, and drawing blood with a knife. He’s looking to [...]

Review round-up

Though I hope most of you at this point know to go to eonline.com every Friday to check out my stuff, and possibly geekweek.com too, I know some of you don’t want to have to keep track. So here’s a round-up of stuff I’ve done recently. Click the headers to go to the full article:

Geekweek movie review: 7 DAYS

In film school, one of the first things you learn about putting together the sound for your celluloid project is that you can never have “no sound.” Even “silence” sounds like something; if you literally put nothing on the soundtrack, it will sound like the speakers have failed, and the audience will be taken out [...]

44 INCH CHEST review

On the way into the screening for 44 INCH CHEST (I know the title should have a hyphen in it, but it doesn’t, and I’m a full believer in reproducing titles as shown), a colleague was heard to ask, “How come a movie called 44 INCH CHEST only has one woman in the cast?” Like [...]

Ten Years in Review

I have a large article over at Geekweek about the past decade in cinema. Here’s the lede:

(Cue Don LaFontaine voice)

“In a decade…when the world seemed led by self-righteous bullies…”

Okay, pause there for a second. I know some of you are instinctively jerking the knee, and assuming I’m going for [...]

Recent stuff by me

I know that even if you have bookmarked sites like Geekweek, the content moves so fast that it’s hard to keep track unless you have no life. So here are some links to recent stuff I’ve done:

A review, with pictures, of Mattel’s new WWE toys. It’s pretty geeky.  Sample:

Elite Rey comes with a [...]

Movies 2009: The Rest of the Best

1. Antichrist. See review.

2. Avatar. See review.

3. Fantastic Mr. Fox. See review.

4. Crank: High Voltage. See review.

5. Up. No review, but possibly my favorite [...]

ANTICHRIST, Superstar: LYT's Number-One Movie of 2009

Even though I had heard almost every single plot detail of ANTICHRIST, the movie itself was nothing like I expected. All the talk has been about how it’s incoherent, based on a dream Lars von Trier had, and there’s a fake talking fox and some castration. I expected the typically rotten production values of a [...]
