Brendon Lindsey, here. I'm a 22 year-old living near Portland, OR. Currently, I work in videogame journalism at GamerNode.com, and sports radio. I've always had a love for movies, though, so I thought it was time I made my own movie blog. Don't expect a ton of groundbreaking intellectual discourses here--just the latest news, some reviews, and commentary from an often sarcastic film fanatic. While some people take this stuff way too seriously, I don't even know the meaning of that word. Or lots of words, for that matter.

Anyone who knows me has heard me rant in regards to last year’s Beowulf. A huge fan of the original epic (I’ve done several papers on it) and an even bigger fan of Neil Gaiman’s work, I was looking forward to the movie more than anything else in its timeframe of release. Unfortunately, it just […]

Talking with a friend of mine, we learned that the winner(s) for the 2009 Oscar’s have already been determined. It’s fairly obvious looking at the list, and I feel stupid for not having figured it out several months before. The final winners for all of the categories for the 81st annual Academy Awards are:
Best Picture: […]

I’ll admit it, I didn’t even know the Oscars were happening tonight. When you’ve dealt with them before, know people who have been there, and have been coerced into supporting the writers during the writer’s strike by ignoring any and all Oscar news things slip by. That being said, they did happen tonight. I didn’t […]

Attention those who have praised Akira as the best anime film of all time: finally you’ll get to see it all with real people! (Of course, whether or not it’s GOOD with real people will remain to be seen.)
As you may recall, Warner Bros owned the rights to Akira and let them slip out of […]

The Wall Street Journal has some information about the plot of the upcoming sure-to-be-a-smash-hit Toy Story 3. According to the article (which is about Disney licensing their products for videogames, and something I oddly enough was planning to use on GamerNode):
“In Pixar’s coming movie “Toy Story 3,” Woody the cowboy and his toy-box friends are […]

Variety has apparently confirmed the longstanding rumor that Ryan Reynolds will portray the Merc with the Mouth, Wade Wilson, aka Deadpool, in the upcoming Wolverine: Origins flick. Deadpool, a healer much like Wolverine, is easily my favorite character in any Marvel or DC comics. Whether it’s his rampant crossdressing to be part of the X-Men, […]

BTTF.com has gotten information that Christopher Lloyd is reprising his role as Doc Brown in an upcoming music video by O’Neal McKnight for his single “Check Your Coat.” McKnight–a huge BttF fan–wrote the song about him and Doc Brown heading to the future to scope out his future self and relationship with a girl he […]

In an oddly poetic cosmic move, the crew and stars filming the latest 007 movie, Quantum of Solace, have been caught up in Panama’s ever-growing gang war. Originally coming into the hostile area, the shoot’s guards and local police were given permission to shoot anyone who appeared to be threatening the crew or stars of […]

According to Uberazzi, actress Natalie Portman, who became every geek’s dream girl after she let the insanely dorky and much younger Anakin Skywalker take her to his room to show her his model robot, is making a statement against the current institute of marriage by… Well, by not getting married.
“I’m into monogamy. But I’m not […]
