What is this blog?

This blog is (as stated in the URL, and the title) about reviews of stuff. We'll check some stuff out and write about it. In all honesty though, most of this will be bitching about stuff. Some reviews may actually end up being useful. That's kind of the goal to bitch about stuff but in a relatively useful manner. We also encourage readers to participate and write your own rant and/or review of something. The reviews can be positive, or negative and they can be about anything you want; people, places, products, animals, culture, etc. So have fun reading and writing.

Hancock... and Get Smart...

Hancock was fantastic. If at all possible, skip the mind-melting ads shown prior to the film. But cinematics were stunning- great camera and CG work. And it was a surprisingly emotive film. There's a bit of a twist, that thanks to good directing and good acting, an observant/perceptive audience member can sense the very startings of (but not the intricacies and depth of)- that has been concealed well and not at all mentioned in the extensive trailers for the film. It's definitely worth the 10 bucks to see it in theaters.


Get Smart was funny. Sometimes. And kind of predictable and formulaic. It's good for a few laughs, especially at Steve Correl's expense. It's not a detestable film... but waiting to rent it for less than half the ticketed admission price is definitely recommended.
