Double D Does the Movies

I watched this one because I thought TWiG might have had a shot at an interview with Oscar Nominee Richard Jenkins. Well, we didn’t get the interview because someone else was faster, but I still enjoyed some things about this film. It’s not a very exciting movie first of all, …

It’s kind of strange, but this is slowly becoming the king of 2008. It’s won nearly every other award possible and it’s poised to win up to 10 Oscars at the time I’m writing this. There’s a reason why it has so much attention however. Slumdog Millionaire is one of …

Speaking of John Hughes, here’s a John Hughes comedy for ya’ll. This is one of the few John Hughes movies I haven’t seen actually. This is probably the first one I should have seen however. Ferris Bueller is pretty much the epitome of John Hughes’s talent for making rebellious, yet …

Kevin Smith’s second movie in his Askewniverse saga. I rather enjoyed this one. It, once again, was not as good as Clerks, but was still a very entertaining film and also kick-started the career of future “My Name is Earl” star, Jason Lee. The only major problem with Mallrats is …

Yeah, that’s right. I’ve never seen Jaws, until now. I thought it was great. It’s a simple story, with no moral and barely even any character development, but the way its depicted is so effective that you get drawn right in and want to kill that stupid shark just as …

The third movie in the Askewniverse Saga. Yeah, I know I watched this before Mallrats, but this one was readily available so what the hell? I liked it. Kevin Smith was taking his movies seriously here. Something he never really did before or since, at least not to this extent. …

I said no more Jean Claude Van Damme movies. I didn’t say no more Jean Claude Van Damme spinoff movies. This is probably the last one of those I’ll review though. I was interested in watching this after seeing the original Time Cop after seeing it at the Bloor around …

I’ve wanted to see this one for the longest time, since I live in Canada and this is the highest grossing Canadian film of all time. Well, with a killer that picks off hockey league stars and enough bilingual jokes to confuse even the most versed of both languages, this …
