District 9, A Sordid Tale. The first 30 minutes of the movie had me looking at my own tolerance for other cultures and races. With aliens sifting through garbage, toting AK-47′s and pee’ing on rugs these actions did not set the aliens as an omnipotent power in the universe, but something more like dogs. But [...]

Double Feature Nesting Party: Fanboys and Coraline
Mirth’s Movie Monday begins with much excitement and glorious awe. What good films I did partake of this weekend! They were consumed during a traditional nesting party, which is defined as food and good friends and numerous movies watched in succession. I ate far too many nutterbutter cookies and fig newtons, but I felt that [...]
Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince
Mirth’s Movie Monday presents Happy Potter and the Half-Gay Cast. The birthday celebration of one of my dear friends, Baby C, took place on this last Friday. We started at Pizzaria 712 and concluded at the viewing of the new Harold Potter joint. Here is what I thought:
V For Vendetta
Two Words: Smirch Sandwich Mirth’s Movie Monday begins with unconscionable odium for this film. Yet it was not always so. When first I laid my eyes upon this feature, I was impressed and endeared, moved to the core. I felt that the characters and premise were original and memorable, and each scene was exciting and [...]
Top 5 Worst Moments in Star Wars
Star Wars is stitched on the denim jacket of pop culture like so many badges of honor and interest. There is hardly a more recognizable franchise, literally Star Wars is in the galactic realm with McDonalds and Coca Cola (and dare I add Michael Jackson?). Apparently, when you are that BIG OF A DEAL, you [...]
30 Rock: Season Two
Recently a ready resurgence of desire to run early in the morning has struck me. For the past week and a half I have been rising at 6:00 am and mounting my treadmill so that I might pound my grotesque body into submission. But television sucks that early in the morning. I solved this problem [...]
“Mirage” by Youngwoong Jang
Song of the Day … Kinda This is not a song, but it is a short CGI movie by a Korean film student by the name Youngwoong Jang. The story is about this little cyborg who is after some water. The music behind it is simple and it needs to be. As you follow this [...]
Afro Samurai (Unrated Director’s Cut)
Not Smirched My love for Afro Samurai grows day by day. I finally got my blu-ray of the first season, and it has been everything that I expected it to be and more (with one exception: I expected MORE swearing than the game but I was mistaken, there are actually less F-BOMBS in the show [...]
Valkyrie
Mirth’s Movie Monday typed frantically during the maelstrom of work– I endeavor to not disappoint. Smirched? NEIN! Valkyrie is a wonderful film that provokes one to consider WWII from a strange perspective. The viewer follows a group of high ranking members of the Third Reich who are opposed to Hitler’s Germany. They form a conspiracy [...]
Metal Gear Solid: Movie!
Even the rumor of a Metal Gear Solid movie is too effulgent for me to let the topic die after one post. Thus I have decided to make another list, this time a list of components that are necessary for a great movie to be accomplished. Here it is:
