- Third time isn’t quite the charm for Agents K and J, but a time travel plot opens up some new possibilities for these otherwise tired jokes and characters, reminding us that aliens can still be fun.
- Sound of My Voice
- Review
- A time travel story with no time travel, Sound of My Voice is intimate science fiction with only one concern: constructing a smart, incredibly acted puzzle for viewers to lose themselves in.

Directed Viewing: "Eyes Wide Shut" and Careers Cut Short.
Minor typo:"I feel a really deep sense of lost at having Kubrick"I really enjoyed these Kubrick write-ups and I think I'm gonna go watch Eyes Wide Shut after reading this. I've never quite seen the film, just parts of it and criticism that dances around the actual film itself by fussing with context. I think you strike the right balance here though.And gosh, I am super looking forward to Von ...

I will not lie and say that I have been checking your blog weekly waiting to see when you'd post your piece on The Shining!You've made some compelling arguments for me to rewatch it again, I've seen it twice now. Once before I actively took interest in film and a second time a year or so after I started really thinking and paying attention to what I was watching, and ...

I'm a french major. I can help you.I don't know how far back I should go. I'll start with just the statement that France, more than almost any other nation, obsesses over its culture. It comes across as egotistical and "snotty", but every Frenchman is deeply aware of their authors and artists and how they interplay with each other. As such, French culture is very wrapped around itself. This makes ...

DV: "Dr. Strangelove" or How I Refused to Play into the Joke.
Strangelove is definitely one of my favorite Kubrick films, not as high up there as Clockwork or Barry Lyndon. But I think I appreciate Cold War humor more than most because I grew up in a Russian household where some of that tension still kicks around a bit. I think it does its absurd humor really well, and its done with a quality that almost gives it a sense of ...

It's The Shining, right? You think the Shining's stupid? Oh please, I'm so lonely.

The Shining is a cheesy, poorly acted mess of a film whose only redemptive quality is Jack Nicholson's performance.

Thoughts on the first two episodes?
on the The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra board.
The only thing I didn't care for was Mako. He was a bit too pre-fab love interest.But Tenzin is p. great and Korra is looking like a good lead.Miss Sokka though. and Iroh, obviously :(

Well, where else would jeff be living?
on the Jeff Who Lives at Home board.
The movie poster clearly suggests that Jeff lives with his parents. This would mean he is Jeff Who Lives at Home With His Parents.Jeff Who Lives at Home could be anyone. It could be you, if you are a Jeff. If I were to tell you "I live at home" you would be like "well, yes, surely."You wouldn't think: "Oh, you must mean with your parents."0/5 stars

Can people somehow not live at home? Why would you have a home and not live in it? Maybe you will argue that some people travel a lot, but then, isn't the road their home? How do you not live at home?

John Carter Pretty Much Bombs Domestically, Kinda Doesn't Overseas, and Other Super Important Box Office News.
It just occurred to me that Reese Witherspoon sounds like a name you would find in a fantasy novel. It is a very silly sounding name.

What's your opinion on the Hunger Games books?
on the Off-Topic board.
"Don't care for his writing" is beating around the bush. The writing is outright tacky. Everybody talks in sentences, the dialogue is robotic. Honestly, the writing is poor and stumbles over just about every faux pas you can think of.But the concept is pretty unique. Unique, that is, within the pool of popular young adult fiction. Outside of that pool, however, Hunger Games loses a lot of what makes it ...
