Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure

Thu, 04 Oct 2007 11:51:27 -0400

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is a 1989 comedy/sci-fi film about two slackers who are destined to save the entire universe by traveling through time by a guitar-playing guru from the future. William "Bill" S. Preston Esq. (Alex Winter) and Ted "Theodore" Logan (Keanu Reeves) play two high school friends, and Wyld Stallyns band members from San Dimas, CA who make for an unlikely cast to save the world. In their time travels they get the help of many historical figures including Napoleon Bonaparte, Socrates, Billy the Kid, Sigmund Freud, Beethoven, Genghis Khan, Joan of Arc, and Abraham Lincoln.

Like all movies about time travel, Bill and Ted's Excellent adventure raises many questions about the possibility and paradox of time travel. The entire film is an example of the predestination paradox in which Bill and Ted are "pre-destined" to travel back in time in the future forming a self-consistent causal loop.

Spoiler alert: In the final moments of the film, the time travelers exploit the Novikov self-consistency principle in order to break themselves into jail they promise that the future version of themselves to travel back in time and steal their Dad's keys and place them in a predetermined location. In a subtle moment at the beginning of the film, you'll notice that the Dad is missing his keys. Thus, Bill and Ted were pre-destined to succeed. Dude!

Shaun of the Dead

Sat, 18 Aug 2007 23:42:12 -0400

Shaun of the Dead was released in 2004, referring to itself as romantic zombie comedy (aka rom zom com). A satirical look at the zombie genre, made popular by films like Night of the Living Dead and its sequel Dawn of the Dead, Shaun of the Dead stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as Shaun and Ed trying to survive in a world quickly being taken over by zombies. Unlike other zombie movies, this film is much more of a comedy than a horror, and was initially inspired by an episode of the Brittish sitcom Spaced in which Simon Pegg's character, while under the influence of amphetamines imagines that he is fighting zombies.

Shaun of the Dead was both a critical and commercial success in the UK and North America and is now available on DVD. Director Edgar Wright released Hot Fuzz in 2007 in much the same style as Shaun of the Dead, but this time taking on a parody of the cop film.

Eclipse (Film)

Sun, 04 Apr 2010 13:49:28 -0400

Kurt Cobain About a Son

Wed, 07 May 2008 16:28:12 -0400

About a Son is a documentary featuring excepts of audio-interview recordings Michael Azerrad conducted with Kurt Cobain in the early 90s. The visual backdrop of the movie features very interesting graphical representations mixed with actual footage of the places and people in the story. The recordings allow Kurt Cobain to tell his side of the over-sensationalized Nirvana story in his own words. This really strips away the glam and provides a real human-side of the story that makes a lot of sense and gives real insight into what Cobain really thinks...he loves music....he is lazy...he has a twisted view on society....he deals with severe stomach and back pain....he doesn't like people that much. The soundtrack features music that Cobain listened to and helped form his musical sound. There are no Nirvana songs in the soundtrack....but they started as a CCR cover band anyways. Michael Azerrad used these recorded interviews as the basis for his book, "Come As You Are", which is a fully-sanctioned Nirvana biography.

What the Bleep Do We Know!?

Fri, 03 Apr 2009 21:30:19 -0400

What the Bleep Do We Know!? Is a film that combines documentary-style interviews, computer animation, and an overal narrative that posits a spiritual connection between quantum physics and conciousness.

The plot follows the story of a deaf female photographer; as she encounters emotional and existential obstacles in her life, she comes to consider the idea that individual and group consciousness can influence the material world. Her experiences are offered by the filmmakers as an illustration of the movie's thesis about quantum physics and consciousness. The 2004 cinematic release of the film was followed by a substantially changed, extended DVD version in 2006.

Bleep was conceived and its production funded by William Arntz, who co-directed the film along with Betsy Chasse and Mark Vicente: all of these individuals are students of Ramtha's School of Enlightenment. A moderately low-budget independent production, it was promoted using viral marketing methods and opened in art-house theaters in the western United States, winning several independent film awards before being picked up by a major distributor and eventually grossing over $10 million.

The film has been criticized for misrepresenting science and containing pseudoscience.

Zoolander

Thu, 08 Dec 2005 11:04:07 -0500

quotes from "ZOOLANDER"

Matilda: Every day after school I would come home and you know, I'd flip through the pages of my mom's Vogue and Glamour and ? I'd just ? I'd look at these women .. These perfect, beautiful ? just unbelievable skinny women. I just couldn't - Oh, I just couldn't understand why I didn't look like them. I just didn't get it. So um ? so I became ?

Hansel: What?

Matilda: Bulimic.

Zoolander: You can read minds?

Matilda: Derek, I don't know if you're familiar with the belief that some aboriginal tribes hold. It's the concept that a photo might steal a part of your soul. What are your thoughts on that if someone gets his picture taken for a living?

Zoolander: Well I guess I would have to answer your question with another question. How many abo-diginals do you see modeling?

Hansel: So I'm repelling down mount Vesuvius when suddenly I slip. And I'm just falling, terrified and then I think, "Hey, Hansel, haven't you been smoking Peyote for six straight days and couldn't some of this maybe be in your mind?"

Derek Zoolander: And?

Hansel: And it was. I was totally fine. I've never even been to mount Vesuvius.

Hansel: I hear a lot of words like "beauty" and "handsomeness" and "incredibly chiseled features." To me that's like a vanity, a self-absorbtion that I try to steer clear of. I dig the bungee. For me, it's just the way I live my life. I grip it and I rip it. I live it with a lot of flair. I live it on the edge, where I gotta be. I wasn't like every other kids you know who dreams about being an astronaut. I was always more interested in aaaaa ? what bark was made out of on a tree. Richard Gere's a real hero of mine. Sting. Sting would be another person who's a hero. The music that he's created over the years - I don't really listen to it. But the fact that he's making it, I respect that. I care desperately about what I do. Do I know what product I'm selling? No. Do I know what I'm doing today? No. But I'm here and I'm gonna give it my best shot.

Zoolander: Modeling, to me, isn't just about being good-looking or having a lot of fun and being really, really good looking. The calendar was great because it gave people a chance to see a side of my versatility. The original Greek word for model means "misshapen ball of clay" and I try to think about that every time I get in front of a camera.

Zoolander: Who am I? I don't know. I guess I have a lot of things to ponder.

Derek Zoolander: If there is anything that this horrible tragedy can teach us, it's that a male model's life is a precious, precious commodity. Just because we have chiseled abs and stunning features, it doesn't mean that we too can't not die in a freak gasoline fight accident.

Larry Zoolander: I just thank the Lord she didn't live to see her son as a mermaid.

Xena: Warrior Princess - Season Six

Tue, 01 Aug 2006 20:31:07 -0400

Taped just months before Cobain's death, Unplugged in NY is both startingly raw and disturbingly planned, with the band playing amongst candles and stargazer lillies--more than a few people noted it seemed like a funeral.

Thu, 03 Aug 2006 10:18:50 -0400

The hilariously irreverent and enormously popular animated series THE FAMILY GUY expands to a feature-length movie in order to explore the true origins of maniacal baby genius Stewie Griffin.

It all starts out with Stewie's near-death experience, after which, shaken and questioning his life, the baby goes on a drinking binge. He resurfaces only when he sees on TV a man who looks just like him, and it dawns on him that this is his real father. Stewie embarks upon a road trip, intending to get to the bottom of it all, while meanwhile Peter is fired from his job for being a bad parent. A must-see for fans and neophytes alike, the movie delivers what audiences have been wanting all along: more FAMILY GUY!

Death Race 2000

Mon, 11 Dec 2006 10:23:54 -0500

"Low budget films allow one to experiment, to take chances with a zany idea like DEATH RACE 2000. Paul Bartel had the type of black humor that was required to direct this cross-country racing mayhem; while Chuck Griffith handled 2nd unit direction for the action sequences, featuring futuristic fast cars created by an award-winning designer. To compete with David Carradine's dark hero, I cast Sylvester Stallone as the heavy, whom I had first noticed with his brilliant performance in THE LORDS OF FLATBUSH. This combination was particularly effective, and DEATH RACE 2000 remains one of my most successful films of all time." -- Roger Corman In the year 2000, hit and run has become the national sport. It's a no-holds barred cross-country race, in which the aim is to kill off not only your opponents, but as many pedestrians as possible. David Carradine takes on Sylvester Stallone in this classic adrenaline thriller that will make you look both ways twice before you cross.

The fight sequences are orchestrated by Yuen Wo Ping (Hero, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon) and has a great mixture of Chinese martial arts with Western boxing and Japanese sword play and open handed fighting. It is very rare to see this mixture of styles so well cheorographed in a film.
