Sh!#ting on the Classics: The Great Gatsby (2013)

I recently attended director Baz Luhrmann’s new screen version of The Great Gatsby. No matter what you may have heard about this movie, I was not disappointed. I went in expecting to hate it, and I did!

Review: The Great Gatsby

by Adam Riske
Find a nice quiet room. Turn on four stereos, each playing different styles of music. Now invite over 500 people who have been drinking all day and doing speed all night. Pick the most boring person of the bunch and ask them to read you The Great Gatsby. This, my friends, is what the first 30 minutes of Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby feels like. I wanted an ejector seat. It felt like Vietnam. Then a miracle happens. The movie settles down and while never becoming good, it ceases to be terrible.

Movies I Love: Django Unchained

There wasn't a movie I was more excited about in 2012 than Django Unchained, the seventh film from Quentin Tarantino. I saw it. I loved it. It took the number two slot on the list of my favorite movies of the year. But that was on a single viewing, and I knew I wanted -- nay, needed -- to see it again.

Now I've watched it twice in a week, and I love it even more.

Sh!#ting on the Classics: William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet


William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet (1996)

Okay, this one writes itself.

I have despised Romeo + Juliet since it was first released. I have taken every opportunity to badmouth this film for the last 15 years. I will go into my “anti-Baz rant” at the drop of any hat in my Film Studies class. I hate this film, and you should too.

F This Movie! - Inception

JB returns so he and Patrick can engage in a spoiler-heavy discussion of Christopher Nolan's 2010 masterpiece Inception. Hear them complain about the film's cold literalism, quibble over every minor flaw and dump all over the movie...IN YOUR DREAMS!! Because actually they love it.
