Re: New Joss Whedon show Not always, and usually when he does he's actually spot on with it, ie; not shoving morals onto people who don't have any. I do get you about the not wanting to hear about problems bit. It felt to me like they just dropped in this episode after brilliantly bringing...

Re: New Joss Whedon show I started the first season and enjoyed the first 7 or so episodes, but then Joss seriously screwed up by moralizing every episode and the show has gone downhill since then. Because I'm this far, I'll at least finish the first season. The problem is that Ballard never...

Re: New Joss Whedon show Pretty disappointing, mainly because the set-up was laughable. Either Ballard is a moron, or the writers think the audience are idiots. So, a guy who believes the dollhouse will kill him follows Ballard into the dollhouse (the key there is follows because Ballard always...

Re: New Joss Whedon show There will be spoilers below, So yesterday's episode was a perfect example of the mediocrity I see in this show, and it all boils down to Joss' failed attempts at moralizing. He tries to play Adelle's friends plight as a sympathetic one, but when you are cheating...

It's pretty easy for me, only one ever made any kind of mark on me and that was Firefly's theme.

Re: New Joss Whedon show It's made me think, but it's also had far too many areas where Joss failed in putting forth ideas worthy of thought. None of that matters though, because according to Felicia day it's canceled after episode 13.

Re: New Joss Whedon show I was not a fan at all of the last episode, more attempts at moralizing by Whedon where he gets the moral structure completely wrong. He's creating a show where every character is deplorable on some way and not giving me anyone to root for or even care about. Anyone who...

As usual, full reviews can be found at, Bill's Movie Emporium http://billsmovieemporium.wordpress.com/ Gone Baby Gone (2007) I really did love this movie. I liked Ben Affleck's direction, he didn't do anything spectacular, but he kept me engaged in what was happening and there were certain...

Good point, this has always been a nagging issue with me as well.

I don't recall there being any sympathetic music played when the French were the victims, that was one of my main beefs with the film. Maybe I'm wrong, but it is a film I plan on going back to at some point so I'll look more into that the next time. It was local critic and former host of At...

As usual, full reviews can be found at, Bill's Movie Emporium http://billsmovieemporium.wordpress.com/ The Strangers (Unrated) (2008) The Strangers unfortunately suffers from the gore horror backlash that has been taking place among non-horror fans for a few years now. The funny thing, The...

This seemed as good of a place as any to post this, I have a new poll running at my blog. At some month in the unknown future I will only reviews films from whichever decade wins the poll. So vote and stuff! http://billsmovieemporium.wordpress.com/what-should-i-review/

As usual, full reviews can be found at, Bill's Movie Emporium http://billsmovieemporium.wordpress.com/ Amadeus (1984) Outside of one major, "huh" moment and some light breaks in narrative structure, a beauty to watch. Genius when handled correctly can be exhilarating and frustrating to watch...

Re: New Joss Whedon show I'd really like my protective parental figures to allow me to go out and be used as a hooker with no memory of it all the time, to be raped, beaten up and abused. That's what I want from my parental figures. Seriously though, that is one of my main problems with the...

As usual, full reviews can be found at, Bill's Movie Emporium http://billsmovieemporium.wordpress.com/ Smultronstället (1957) It's Bergman, so that's already a plus. Bibi Andersson is in it, that's another plus. But, the performance of Victor Sjöström as Borg makes the film as great as it is...

He did it when he was training to, and Creed did the same stuff. I wouldn't have had a big problem with it in the fight, because In understood the dramatic reasons for it there. But training is when even brawlers do everything right, then go out and start brawling in the fight while their...

I train in the sport now, have for close to four years. I've competed in amateur boxing and professional kickboxing, and the boxing in Rocky is ridiculously bad. It's all haymakers and direct shots to the face with no one ever covering up or bother to actually use head or foot movement. What...

There's nothing wrong with elevating Rocky to that level, if the actual boxing wasn't so ridiculously wrong and bad I would have it among my best, As usual, full reviews can be found at, Bill's Movie Emporium http://billsmovieemporium.wordpress.com/ The Great Escape (1963) This was fun, but...

I loved it, its up there for best comic based movie. The acting was great in parts, and the lesser performances were still decent. I most loved the changed ending, makes much more sense than in the book and the use of violence as a message about heroes, especially in the Rorschach scene, you can...
