The Pelican’s Perch

Burn After Reading
Directed by the Coen Brothers
Perch Score: 8.672

I went with a few friends of mine late last night to catch the Coen Brother’s new flick Burn After Reading and loved it.  I’d read plenty of reviews going into it, all saying one of two things.  One, that it was fun, way over the top, [...]

If some big publication took a quote from my professional review of this movie, it’d probably be something like this.
“One of the most visually stunning, beautiful movies I’ve ever seen with a simple plot that centers around storytelling itself and taps into a childhood sense of imagination that is found in all of us.”

Ah, where to begin with this fantastic movie.  Wall-E, Pixar’s latest masterpiece, left me completely in awe and smiling ear to ear as I left the theatre.  As most of you know, Wall-E follows a robot of the same name, who has fulfilled his trash compacting duties on Earth for the 700 years since humans [...]

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Perch Score: 6.340
I could tear this movie a new one if I really wanted to, but c’mon, we all knew what we were getting into as we stood in the line of nerds waiting for the doors to open finally and our Indiana Jones adventure [...]

It’s such a nice day out today. How about a movie review since a number of you have been asking my opinion on this movie?

From the first time I saw the trailer for Be Kind Remind, Michel Gondry’s new film, I was simply ecstatic and couldn’t wait to finally see it. The [...]

The one good thing about being too busy to check out your usual blogs is when you finally have time again, you’ve got a solid 20 or so minutes of great reading.  That just happened to me with Slash Film.  I get on movie fixes just like I do with music, and while movies don’t [...]

Before we begin…while I was on the ball this year as far as music goes, I can in no way say I was even close to on the ball with movies.  For a while there, I went from watching at least a couple movies a week, to not watching a single new movie for a [...]

I raved about The Kite Runner not too long ago, and over the break I found some time to sit and watch some movies finally. Luckily for me, all three movies I watched ended up being really good. Without further adou…

The Kite Runner
Dir. by Marc Forster
Score: 8/10
I watched this movie last night on a whim, which is what I tend to do a lot over Christmas break, but not since Once have I felt like sharing a movie with you guys.  The Kite Runner moved along swiftly the first 3/4ths of the movie with not [...]

What a charming little feel good movie this turned out to be.  By the end of it I was all smiles and really glad I sat down to watch it.  During the first couple scenes I remember thinking, “hey, it’s Sondre Lerche!”.  Then another scene came up and I was like, “that’s a very Sondre [...]
