The Adventures of Squintface McGee: A Totally Non-Biased Review of 30 Days of Night
October 24, 2007Spoiler warnings, as always.
30 Days of Night, as evident from the trailers, is a movie about a small Alaskan town so close to the North Pole, which for one month every year, the sun doesn’t rise. Vampires infest the town, as it is common knowledge vampires find sunlight deadly, allowing them complete and total reign for the month. It is based on a comic of the same name by Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith, which is why it’s being reviewed here.
As you noticed in the title, I’ve already made one joke about Josh Hartnett squinting. And that’s because he squints. A lot. Not nearly as much as in 40 Days and 40 Nights, another film with a number in the title that also refers to the rising and/or setting of the sun, but it’s still his main reaction face. Surprised? Squint. Confused? Squint. Happy? Fucking squint. He plays main character Sheriff Eben Genericlastname, and is competent in his role, despite the squinting.
612 Points of Lame: Review of Penance: Relentless 1 and 2
October 22, 2007Warning: May contain spoilers.
Penance: Relentless is deep. In fact, it is too deep for you. It is too deep for me. It is too deep for a certain sunglasses-wearing dog. It is also dark. It is so deep and dark nothing can escape from it, including hope, happiness, or coherent storylines. It is so deep and dark that you will want to murder all the babies to prevent them from growing up in a world which is just so dark, and so deep. Man, it is intense.
