Afterwards, Logan goes on and on about his last date and how well it went. Unbeknownst to Logan, his new love, Shane (Jacob Betts), is Wyatt’s ex, who he still hasn’t gotten entirely over.

The put-upon (lousy) window salesman has to come up with the mortgage money he’s been robbed of somehow, and concocts a series of rubbish schemes and scams to try and get financially flush again. But things just aren’t working out right.

All I can say is I must have missed the greatest five minutes in the history of cinema when I made that run to the mens room. Here’s what I did see: Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson regroup at Hogwarts for the new academic year. As happens every academic year, the place’s staff has remained more or less the same with the exception of a particular position. Each year seems to bring a new Defense Against the Dark Arts instructor....

The story begins with school teacher Gamel (Sammy Sheik) having dinner with his family at home in Kandahar, Afghanistan. He is picked up by the police, seemingly after being betrayed by a neighbor for a $500 bounty. Straight away, these early sequences are concerning as the Afghani security services who turn up to beat and imprison him are very small yet wear very large overalls. As a viewer, this instantly presents the quandary that you honestly don’t know whether it’s the film’s producers or the Afghani police who have serious trouble getting hold of uniforms....
The goal is to get your film to look like a big-budget blockbuster in any way possible. Consider that one scene featuring a conversation between your two lead actors, and rather than sitting them around a table or on a couch, how about putting them in the front seat of a car down a deserted desert highway or busy New York street? Plate Pros is the place to go. No, you don’t have to hire them to film to shoot your favorite location because they’ve already been there....
“Some Kind Of Monster” takes us inside the inner workings of Metallica for two years as they attempt to record a new album and reclaim their crown as one of the greatest rock bands ever. But what we get could hardly classify as interesting or even mildly entertaining (unless you’re a hard core fan). Simply put this is a TWO HOUR AND 20 MINUTE long documentary that consists of nothing more than millionaire rock stars bitching, whining and complaining about their problems....
Things seem to be moving and developing nicely, until chance requires the employment of a solicitor. Enter contract specialist Duncan Wedderburn (a delightful Mark Ruffalo). As he is setting into form the contract which will enable the rest of Bella’s future, Wedderburn being the scandalous and scabrous slimeball he is, tempts Bella with the prospect of a whirlwind adventure across the continents. Having been isolated at Dr. Baxter’s house her entire existence, Bella leaps at the opportunity to run away with Wedderburn....
Our story begins at the beginning of spring as we follow the family of Sasquatch, played by Jesse Eisenberg, Riley Keough, Christophe Zajac-Denek, and Nathan Zellner. In the opening moments of the film (and in the trailer), the father and mother, Sasquatch (Eisenberg and Keough), are having sex in the woods with their son and elder (Zajac-Denek and Zellner), looking on. Here, the mother becomes pregnant—a storyline that plays out throughout the film....
A reflection of Rodriguez’ modesty, the first credit to flash across the screen belongs to Frank Miller, creator of the beautifully violent, strikingly surreal graphic novels on which “Sin City” is based. Miller shares a directing credit with Rodriguez, so it’s no surprise that the film adapts his hard-boiled, corrupt stories and characters with a pulpy, complimentary sheen. In a blatant steal from Pulp Fiction, “Sin City” discards traditional chronology....
It’s Christmas 2019 as Robert (Jeff Clark, Jr.) and Michelle (Ashley Weismantel) anxiously await the results of the Christmas Mega-millions lottery. No millions and the couple have no presents for one another. The only gift Robert has is a Christmas Tree ornament signifying they are second in line for their daughter’s transplant.

She’s a leader…” Susan Feniger: Forked, A Culinary Disaster Bob’s Funeral Bob’s Funeral is a documentary-animation comedy hybrid....
Opening frames with panache you have Drag Race Etcetera Etcetera as a B-movie host who is delivering cryptical Ed Wood Logic in an imitation of the Amazing Criswell. EC comic palette abounds with colour and lighting; we get introduced to Sophie (Lauren Last) with her friend Spencer (Lewi Dawson), who, like most new film directors, are finding it hard when it comes to ideas and funding. However, at least she has a potential romance to keep life stable....

Together, these two gentlemen impose themselves on New York’s upper class society, either by sneaking into the opera or performing favors in return for allowed attendance as gallery openings or fancy dinner parties. Henry teaches Louis about the life of an Extra Man (or “gigolo,” as they’re more commonly referred as) even though the young writer’s interests lie elsewhere, more specifically, in wearing women’s lingerie and dating an environmentalist (Katie Holmes)....
“As the police start screaming, my natural reaction was to slam the door. I quickly turned to the boyfriend and said, ‘NOW what am I supposed to do?’ He just says, ‘I guess open the door.’ “So I opened the door. “Within seconds, they start their onslaught of screaming and I (immediately) told them what they thought was going on was not actually happening. Then, of course, they separate us to see if our stories match....

When the new millennium kicked over Gunn’s underrated superhero comedy, “The Specials”, arrived on the scene and, for my money, tromped the s**t out of “Mystery Men”. It was cool to see a pair of Troma guys (namely Gunn and his brother, Sean) hanging out with Rob Lowe and Thomas Hayden Church. It seemed to justify what we were doing on the ultra-low end of the indie scene. A lot of Troma fans got excited when it was announced that Gunn was writing “Scooby-Doo”....
