Wall-E
The Plot: The story of a robot that looks like Johnny Five and talks like a mogwai.
Is it worth eleven dollars?: Yes. Very much so. Although I think it will be hard for anything to compare to the wonder that was Ratatouille, this sounds like it’s going to be great. It’s already got a 97% [...]

GMO Corn To Makes Men Sterile

The Love Guru
The Plot: Mike Myers juggles midgets, goofy accents and dick jokes while simultaneously beating a stampede of dead horses.
Is it worth eleven dollars?: No. The trailer for this, which I’m sure contains most of the funny jokes from the film, is painfully unfunny (with the exception of Justin Timberlake doing a Québécois accent). [...]

An Open Letter to the Fucktard Who Tried to Mug Me Yesterday

Dear Quitter,
I would like to give you a piece of advice.  Now I would no more presume to know about the field of Purse Snatching than I would about being a docent at the Newark Museum; neither is within the small realm of my expertise.  However, I will say this.  Quitters never win, and winners [...]

The Incredible Hulk
The Plot: The Hulk is back! Did you miss him? No? Me neither. 
Is it worth eleven dollars?: I’m not going to lie, the movie looks action packed and is getting good reviews already. But really, was Ang Lee’s Hulk so bad that it warrants a remake as little as five years later? Of all the [...]
