Man, I Get Sent Some Bad Films

Sometimes I wonder if I’d be happier or unhappier if I got more good movies to review:

El Mariachi has a lot to answer for. As does Clerks. Both were made in the early ‘90s on incredibly low budgets ($9,000 and $30,000 respectively; Clerks filmmaker Kevin Smith famously maxed out all of his credit cards to finance the film) and achieved…

Stray Thoughts on Iron Man “THREE”

Stray thoughts on Iron Man 3, which was like that narrated episode of Mad Men-meets-Kiss Kiss Bang Bang:

Iron Man 3 (or IRON MAN THREE as the end credits would have us believe, as if including the whole word as opposed to a digit makes it a more imaginative title) is a lot like those episodes of Mad Men or Angel where the lead character participates in…
