You know, after seeing that this movie had something like a 23% on Rotten Tomatoes, I didn’t expect much. That being said, ‘Priest’ was a pleasant surprise. It could have used a little more vampire and the plot was a bit thin, but enjoyable nonetheless. What makes ‘Priest’ watchable is it’s authentic graphic novel feel in addition to it’s cowboy-western themes. Best film of all time? No way. Watchable? Yes.

Hilarious. In my humble opinion, it’s “The Hangover,” just better (the comparison had to be made, right?). There are a few moments where things feel slightly disjointed, but those moments are completely outweighed by how fresh and funny this movie is. Go see it. You shall chuckle a great deal.

As a side note, who is this Melissa McCarthy? She’s funny as sh*t.
What’s this? A movie review on a site that was once almost exclusively dedicated to movie reviews? Yup! Well, sort of…
Fifty Dead Men Walking is based on a true story, stars Ben Kingsley (hooray!), Jim Sturgess, and Rose McGowen. It mainly takes place in the late ’80s and centers around the IRA and British Police in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
If you’re up for an intense, morbid, depressing, edge-of-your-seat film, I’d recommend this one.

Thanks to a good and loyal friend of Owl Pellets, I found out about this: The Arcade Fire is re-releasing ‘The Suburbs,’ because, you know, they won a Grammy. And maybe, just maybe the people at Who is The Arcade Fire? will finally get their answer!
From Perez Hilton:
Nice!
Maybe now all the people that obnoxiously asked “Who are they?” when they won the Grammy
will give them an actual listen now! Ha!
Indie faves Arcade Fire have announced that their award-winning 2010 album, The Suburbs, will be re-released on June 27th, with two new tracks called Speaking Tongues and Culture War, as well as a bonus DVD featuring a short film and a ‘making of’ documentary!
Hopefully this new material will hold us over until they’re ready to release another album in a year or two!
Probably not, but hey! We’ll be patient!
Looking forward to this one, guys!
So excited!
Poor guy. Everyone is so mean.
I can’t help but be reminded of this video from College Humor:
Noise (2007) stars Tim Robbins as a New Yorker that hates noise and decides to “do something about it.” It a quirky comedy that mocks it’s own characters when they become overly philosophical about what drives them to do what they do. It’s a fun little piece of film.
The cast also boasts Bridget Moynahan, William Hurt, and William Baldwin.

Original. What could have easily been a film I’ve seen a dozen and a half times before, turned out to be fresh, funny, and uniquely warm.
I was more enthralled by this documentary than I have been by any other documentary (or fiction film) in a very, very long time. If you pay any attention to my Twitter (I know, I know, I know… I have freakin’ Twitter and it makes me sick and all that.. blah, blah, blah), you’ll know how much I enjoyed Outrage.
It’s a fairly limited release right now, but expanding quickly.* You can learn more at the movie’s website.
And as a word of advice, don’t be like John Farrell, who makes dumb assumptions without even having seen the film… pff.
