Doc Review: “Winnebago Man”
Posted on02. May, 2011 by kvch.
Have you ever seen that Youtube phenomenon often called “Crazy RV Salesman,” or “Crazy Winnebago Man,” or just “Winnebago Man.” If not – don’t look it up if you don’t like swearing. What it is is left over footage cut together by a film crew from a industrial sales video about Winnebago RVs. The video [...]

Review: “Battle L.A.” = …
Posted on29. Mar, 2011 by kvch.
We’ve just gone through the Oscar season ad campaigns, and we’ve seen some fairly genius workings. “The King’s Speech” seemingly came from nowhere and stole the trophy from the sure-to-win “The Social Network,” and the same picture swiped the Original Screenplay statuette from “Inception.” These are all the good stuff that people recognize during the [...]

Review: “Rango”
Posted on23. Mar, 2011 by kvch.
I don’t know what it is about them, but animated movies always make a bucket-load of cash when they hit theaters. Maybe people automatically think “Cartoons! It’s obviously good for the kids!” and take ‘em regardless if what they’re seeing is meaningless. We saw that last year with “Dispicable Me,” ”Shrek Ever After,” and “Tangled.” Luckily [...]

Review: “Unknown”
Posted on04. Mar, 2011 by kvch.
Every week, the theaters get slammed with some new form of terrible B-movie action flick that the knuckleheads ask you if you saw and you say “No. Most definitely not.” Or at least you should. With a straight face. And when they say “It was good,” you know that their head isn’t exactly screwed on [...]

Review: “I’m Still Here: The Lost Year of Joaquin Phoenix”
Posted on03. Mar, 2011 by kvch.
We’ve all been watching as Charlie Sheen makes the most quote history in the past week or so with great ones like “I’m on a drug. It’s called Charlie Sheen,” which had better be what everyone who is asked “are you on drugs?” replies. …at least for a month or two… If it becomes like [...]

Review: “Animal Kingdom”
Posted on11. Feb, 2011 by kvch.
After “The Godfather” changed the crime film to center more around a big Italian crime family or something similar, the amount of good follow up films has been…minimal to say the least. But then again, the first two in “The Godfather” trilogy are two of the best American pieces of cinema spit out, so it’s [...]

Top 5 Films of the Year
Posted on01. Feb, 2011 by kvch.
While this is certainly a good 3 weeks late, that’s because I didn’t have a chance to see everything worth watching for the 2010 season until now, I can put up the Best Of list. I’m only going to do 5 because, really, that’s all I can muster up, as this year was…not very good [...]

Review: “Blue Valentine”
Posted on01. Feb, 2011 by kvch.
I’ve waited a little while to let this one sit with me so I could come back with a more educated and thoughtful response – hopefully I haven’t forgotten anything… After I saw the trailer and read the synopsis for Derek Cianfrance’s “Blue Valentine,” I declared “Holy smokes! My most anticipated of the 2010-2011 Oscar [...]

Review: “Exit Through the Gift Shop”
Posted on15. Jan, 2011 by kvch.
One thing that most people ignore in the theaters is the documentary feature. “Ehhh, I hate the History Channel,” blah blah blah. In fact, I had someone tell me that just yesterday. “Oh, is that so?” said I. “Have you seen ‘Exit Through the Gift Shop’? Didn’t think so.” Hopefully, you know who street artist [...]

Review: “The Fighter”
Posted on13. Jan, 2011 by kvch.
For a film that seemed to be in development hell for a very long time, swapping from hand to hand, this final product was a pet project of none other than Mark Whalberg. Once developed by Darren Aronofsky before he left to do “The Wrestler,” and offered to Martin Scorcese who turned it down rather [...]
