The Barkside: The New Volkswagen Commercial

Posted in Movies, Television, tagged , , , on February 21, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Ugh, still all about those Super Bowl Commercials? Get over it.  In case you missed it or international and don’t get the Superbowl: This circled around a couple of weeks ago and was instantly a hit.  The sequel to the famed The Force Volkswagen Commercial, seen here, it begs the question, what does this new commercial have to do with cars?  At least the other one had a Volkswagen car in it.  Is Volkswagen going to be making AT-ATs now??!?!!? Because that’s the only vehicle I saw.  Anywho, if you didn’t catch it at the Superbowl, here’s the video again for you to enjoy.

Jack Skellington is the maestro of Halloween.  He’s the scariest cat in town and seems to be the most ambitious.  After getting tired of celebrating Halloween for countless years, he tries to take another holiday for his own and ends up biting off more than he can chew.  So I’ve compiled a bit of a biography, image, and video gallery to honor the master of Halloween.

There’s something about the nice attire, sincerely superficial attitude, and general ass kissing aura that makes the award show photobomb much better than a regular celebrity photobomb.  Here’s a gallery of some hilarious photobombs during some of the most inopportune times.  It almost makes them seem human…

Coping with the Rise of the Talkies: The Artist Review

Posted in Movies, Reviews, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on February 16, 2012| 3 Comments »

Saying this only makes me look wet behind the ears and a greenhorn of a movie watcher: The Artist is the first silent film I’ve ever seen. Slap me on the hands, unsubscribe, believe me to lose any credibility I had, but I think admitting this is important to the impact this movie has had on me. For the longest time, I’ve put most movies made before the 1950s on the back burner because I’ve believed them to be ‘inferior’ and ‘a chore’ to watch compared to the colored, talking, and contemporary films that are being released today. And if the Artist is ANYTHING like the films made in the 30s, 40s, and 50s, then I’ve been wasting my time watching and reviewing movies like Real Steel and Happy Feet 2.

George Valentin (Jean Dujardin) is an arrogant and proud silent film star. After he helps a charming Peppy Miller (Bérénice Bejo) get a job in acting, he’s suddenly faced with changing times as the talkies begin to change the industry. When he gets left in the dust and watches Peppy on the road to stardom, George begins to take to drink and walks on a road to self-destruction.

[MAINTENANCE NOTE: I’ve added one more movie to the five movies to watch on certain days of the year. Check it out here for the mystery movie I shamefully forgot.]

6 Movies to Watch on Certain Days of the Year

Posted in Lists, Movies, tagged , , on February 14, 2012| 1 Comment »

Some movies revolve around a significant date that lends itself to propelling the story or adding a layer of complexity. Whether it be holidays or regular days of the year, there’s a lot of appeal in saving a day of the year to watch a specific movie. In this case, I have five days and five corresponding movies. I personally try my hardest to watch these five movies during the year. The movies below all use the specific dates and I recommend you make it a tradition to do the same.

[UPDATE]: How stupid of me to forget V for Vendetta on November 5th. Recently added.

The Setting Isn’t the Only Cold Thing Here: Happy Feet 2 Review

Posted in Movies, Reviews, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on February 13, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Musicals with animated animals have always been absolutely adorable.  So when the original Happy Feet opened, there was something even more adorable when we had an unlikely animal such as the penguin singing beats ranging from the 70s to now.  Throw in a likable penguin who can’t sing like the rest of the community but would rather dance and you don’t even stand a chance.  Maybe this is why it beat out Pixar’s Cars.  So how does the sequel stand up?

Mumble (Elijah Wood) is back with some kids of his own with his loved one Gloria (now played by P!nk due to the late Brittany Snow).  This time the community has embraced dancing and tries to teach it to its younger generation.  Throw in some elephant seals, some semi-likable Krill, a Puffin, a toned down Robin Williams,  and another global issue and you get a seemingly rushed and scrapped together film they call Happy Feet 2.  Despite all these issues, it still inspires some of the magic it once had through its spine tingling musical numbers and fantastic visuals.
