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.

In my life I have met two people who have never seen an Indiana Jones movie; not surprisingly, they live together and are best friends. Despite that odd occurrence, I would bet money (not real, obviously) that you’ve seen at least one of the Indy movies, if not all four of them. The original trilogy […]

Cloverfield surprised critics when it opened to a tremendous box office, taking in nearly $50 million; it surprised them once again when the film’s gross dropped 68% in its second week.
The hand-cam “Blair Witch meets Godzilla” picture is a unique one, that’s for sure. Numerous people complained of the shakiness and feeling nauseous in theaters, […]

There Will Be Blood was one of the more surprising movies of last year. What initially struck me as a boring, pointless film thats only saving grace was Daniel Day-Lewis playing a character he already played later turned into one of my favorite movies. It’s something you need to watch more than once to appreciate, […]

If I told you years ago that one of my favorite movies of 2007 would be a musical, I probably wouldn’t even believe myself. If I told you that musical would be a slasher film directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp, I definitely wouldn’t believe myself. Oddly enough, that very scenario happened with […]

Every now and then I’ll see a chick flick that I’ll admit isn’t totally terrible; you know, you can watch it and it’s okay, but you won’t want to watch it again anytime soon. Enchanted is one of those movies.
While it’s not the greatest movie I’ve seen (or even remotely in any Top X lists […]

At the end of South Park season 11, viewers were watching in suspense as an epic trilogy unfolded-that trilogy was Imaginationland. Starting off with Cartman and Kyle’s bet involving Kyle gently sucking on Cartman’s pubicle sack and culminating in a battle worth of Two Towers, it’s just as awesome as it was months ago.
The “feature” […]

If you watch movies or ever talk to people who do, chances are at some point or another someone you know has mentioned No Country for Old Men as one of their favorite movies from last year. The Best Picture winning movie certainly had a head of steam leading up to the Oscars, in no […]

Remember when Steve Carell was “That one guy on The Daily Show” and not a comedy superstar? And remember when he was by far the more popular of the Carell/Colbert duo on Stewart’s show? Me neither. Somehow Carell went from being that goofy guy on Comedy Central to being in every damn thing out there. […]

When I watched 101 Dalmatians the other night, I wasn’t sure what I’d get. I vaguely recalled liking the movie (and Saturday morning cartoon) as a kid and thinking Cruella was creepy, but that’s really all I remembered. (Well, I also remembered Lucky was my favorite puppy, but damned if I knew why or which […]

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 […]
