| The
Santa Clause 2 (week of Nov. 1) |
|
What the f*&k is Tim
Allen doing these days? Why he's making sequels, just like every
other shit-eating, talentless, dildo actor in Hollywood. I suppose
he does need something to occupy his time with since getting out
of the big house... This next anal instalment of Santa Crap really
has the makings of an equally handicapped, sit on the crapper
'til it bleeds, kind of feeling to it. I gather that our reluctant
Santa replacement has new challenges to face, new inanimate objects
to fall over, and all new jokes, guaranteed not to make anyone
over 4 feet and/or 13 I.Q. laugh. It turns out that Mr. Kringle
is out to score some poontang this Christmas by bagging a phat
hottie to whore into the role of Mrs. Clause. Finally, a storyline
we can live with: Santa takes all the village bicycles for a ride
before banging an appropriately well-endowed bimbo on the head,
and dragging her unconscious body back to his cave to polish his
fat-ass knob for all time.
I'm sure the kids will
love this one, but if you see it I will personally pee in your
hair while you sleep.

Harry
Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (week of Nov.
15)
|
|
Thank God that J. K.
Rowling finally put the British Empire back on the map. The World
was falling short on its quota of bad teeth and pomp. In this
sequel to the first Harry Potter movie, our hero, the ambiguously
sexually-oriented flying Quiddich-playing wizard Harry Potter,
finds himself in the middle of trouble. This sounds remarkably
like the first movie, doesn't it? Well, it's hard to beat up on
this movie too much, as it's a kids movie based on very well-written
books for kids. I don't have much to say about this one, other
than expect a repeat performance of Harry 1, only with a slightly
different plot and a few new characters and effects.

| Die
Another Day (week of Nov. 22) |
|
The only thing keeping
this ailing series alive is a consistent use of fantastic automobiles.
I think even the average mindless movie-goer is getting a bit
sick of this Bond shit. I know that I'm still waiting to beat
the crap out of whoever comes up with these idiotic titles.
In this movie, I can
only assume that Agent 007 (still played by Pierce Brosnan) shoots
people, orders martinis with specific instructions not to stir,
scores with a couple of doting bimbos, and ends up defeating some
bad guys with some cool toys.
Dependable? I suppose.
Consistent? Sometimes. Repetitive? Definitely. I give this series
another 1 or 2 shots, maybe. I think the Viagra's efficacy is
waning for poor Mr. Bond...

Analyze
That (week of Dec. 6)
|
|
Shoot me in the face...
The first instalment
of this gimmicky buddy psychiatrist-mobster flick made me want
to jump onto a pair of scissors. This sequel, and its incomprehensibly
retarded title, will cause my intestines to writhe and rupture
should I see even a second of it. Robert deNiro is as funny as
a burning animal shelter, and Billy Crystal is about as watchable
as a German scheisse movie.
This movie has all
the redeeming qualities of testicular cancer, not to mention it's
a sequel. You should devote your life to not seeing this piece
of shit. Ever.

| Star
Trek: Nemesis (week of Dec. 13) |
|
With a long, legendary
history of pathetic writing, unbelievably benign characters, asexuality,
and long line-ups of motherloving nerds, this 58th instalment
in the Star Trek series promises nothing new. Aliens that look
remarkably like humans, spaceships full of do-gooding losers,
goofy makeup, and a rehashed plot is what you can look forward
to.
Invariably the android
Data (played by a very gay Brent Spiner) will make a stiff attempt
at humour, the chubby Riker will try to act tough (which is about
as believable as Kelly Rippa winning a chess match against a tree
frog), some extras in strangely coloured uniforms will get zapped,
and the audience will be left feeling as though they just sat
through a two-hour brain-humping escapade. You can achieve a similar
effect by visiting your local Home Depot, purchasing a 12-inch
concrete nail, and then slowly insert it into your left nostril
until you reach the back of your skull.
Star Trek is the stupidest
genre of obsolescence ever to parade its inanity across movie
and TV screens around the world. Going to see this movie would
be announcing the absence of 4 fifths of your frontal lobe.

The
Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (week of Dec.
18)
|
|
Finally, a movie worth
seeing. Admittedly, about as many friendless virgins will be stuffing
their sweaty, overgrown bodies into the aisles in this one as
they will be for Star Trek, but at least this one has promise.
The friendless, overgrown, sweaty director himself, Peter Jackson,
drives a mass of idiotic overpaid actors in this second instalment
of Tolkein's classic fantasy series. Jackson deserves essentially
no praise for his work here, as Tolkein did all the work back
in the 50s. At least Jackson is smart enough to ride on the laurels
of a better man, instead of announcing his inferior IQ over a
bullhorn like the other 99% of directors in Hollywood.
This movie will have
too many effects, will take too many liberties over the book,
will bore you to tears at points, and will probably be the best
movie of the year. Go see it, but don't forget to pack a lunch
and bring your bedpan.

| Gangs
of New York (week of Dec. 25) |
|
Finally, after over
a year of delays, Scorsese's asinine depiction of underdeveloped
gang members in prehistoric New York pinches itself out of the
ass of LaLaLand to come to a comfortable, steaming rest on big
white screens around the world just in time for our saviours'
birthday. Whoopty-fu*&in-do. DiCaprio has always been a bleeding
scab to me, and seeing this pre-pubescent addict's pompous return
to the big screen after his recent God-sent absence will only
make me want to punch him in his vagina all the more. I mean,
come on, casting DiCaprio in the role of a hood is akin to casting
Tom Cruise in the role of Kareem Abdul Jabar. Every time I think
of that punk, Leo, I am reminded of his stellar self-portrayal
of Arnie in 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape?' The only worse than
using this high-priced dipshit is his being paired with a bunt
cake like Cameron Diaz, which only adds to my frustration. Daniel
Day Lewis also wastes his time with this worthless period piece,
playing some idiot called 'The Butcher'. DiCaprio has to fight
him because he killed his father or some brilliant and unique
plot tidbit like that, and Diaz probably gets in the way throughout.
Wait for this one to
come out on video so that you can rent a copy and fire it over
a cliff. I hear it's like 2 hours and 44 minutes long, too, so
it should travel a good distance. Don't waste your time, unless
you find sticking staple removers up your nose fun.
