Riding some Hollywood marketing dick, West and Jonze put out this short film just in time for Google search optimization regarding the blockbuster movie “Where The Wild Things Are“.

“Squirt in your face and then I’m Swayze”

Posted in Films, PeD, Truth is stranger than fiction, tagged , , , , , , , on September 16, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

In rap music, the reference bank which holds white dudes whom are cool enough to name-drop, is essentially limited to Robert De Niro, Al Pacino(though more appropriately his character Scarface, who is actually Cuban), Bugsy Siegel, Hugh Hefner, and perhaps a few other prolific gangsters.
I never realized Patrick Swayze should also be in [...]

Windy City Festival

Posted in Films, Jake, tagged , , , , , , , on September 12, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

I love a good film festival, personally I can recommend the Toronto International Film Festival, but I heard Sundance is absurd. But not all film festivals are good, in fact, many are a load of cheaply made films that  fall very short of a culturally artistic experience. The primary mistake that film festivals make are [...]

Tougher Than Leather

Posted in 2009, Films, PeD, tagged , , on June 20, 2009 | 1 Comment »

I was thumbing through a collection of movie posters from the 80’s and I came upon this one. I don’t know how I never heard of this film but apparently Run DMC made a feature length film, Tougher Than Leather. Initially I thought it odd that I’d never heard of it, I mean, I [...]

We Heart Robots

Posted in 2009, Films, PeD, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on May 6, 2009 | 1 Comment »

For some reason people love robots. Mechanical interpretations of beings which are flesh-based are awesome; maybe it’s the absurdity of manifesting feeling and emotions and all that shit, through something that’s totally artificial. Scientists have just created robotic penguins that can swim just as well as their aviary inspirations and [...]

Adventureland: English Majors in Pittsburgh

Posted in Art, Films, LoL, Pittsburgh, tagged , , , , on April 13, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

I just wanted a lighthearted movie to to wrap up the weekend & Easter Sunday; when I scoped Adventureland, I had no idea I’d be getting a semi-biographical depiction of my life since graduating college: an English major graduates into a recession and is too broke to go to Europe (or anywhere else), can’t find [...]

Nas is Legendary

One spent his entire career bending ears, the other, well, biting them off. This new Nas joint “Legendary” is featured on the upcoming Mike Tyson documentary “Tyson”. So far, James Toback’s film has been getting rave reviews. I love both these guys, big up BK and Queens on this one.

During recession good life is contextualized

Posted in Films, Jake, Los Angeles, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on March 11, 2009 | 2 Comments »

When it comes to movies and documentaries I think of “The Show”, “Belly”, and “Shottas”. Even the Game’s “Belly 2″ which resembles melena more than cinema graces my Acer’s hardrive. So when coming upon a review of Ava DuVernay’s documentary “This is the life”, I was rather disinterested, obviously.  Duvernay’s film delves into the lives of 50 [...]
