“The HSM franchise is essentially a license for Disney to print money.”
– slashfilm.com, just a quick update on my previous post. HSM 3 made the Mouse House 16.5 million yesterday.
Cult School Musical
I’m supposed to have an alternative voice in these blog posts. That’s the “Jerk” way. When I was hired to write a film blog for Jerk Magazine, I was explicitly told to stay away from anything too mainstream and for the most part I feel that I’ve been covering independent, harder-to-find cinema.
That being said this review is going to be of a main stream movie. A very main stream movie. So main...
WatchI think I just OD’d on cuteness. Girls and Dogs.
TV Winner of the Week.
Everybody Hates Chris takes the first official title, with Saturday Night Live in a close second. Normally I only watch Chris because of Chris Rock’s running voice over commentary, which is usually funnier than the show. But this week it pushed its boundaries with 2 surprising fantasy sequences and 1 spot on Cosby Show parody. Chris enters the house of his potential homecoming date and...
Plot Synopsis of "Sexdrive"
liftoff:
Please see: Eurotrip
(At least, judging by the trailer…don’t want you to this I saw it or something.)
Please see every teen sex comedy, ever. Though the internet girlfriend/pen pal thing does seem very suspicious.

But finally tonight the show started attacking some deep themes head on (suicide!? nature vs nurture?!). And there was still a good amount of insane WTF moments, Hiro/Ando plot twist for example, as well as answers to big questions. It keeps getting...
How to see an Art House Film at Carousel Mall
There’s a special place at the Carousel Mall movie theater that is very dear to my heart. It’s a wonderful place, deep within the bowels of the mall. Many people don’t know about it and few venture to seek it out. It is a peaceful place, known only as the downstairs level of theaters. You may know them as theaters numbered fifteen through seventeen, but to me it’s home and I’ve been spending a lot...
“Why see the movie when we live it everyday?”

Choke
Sophomore year I attended a screening at the Palace Theater as a part of the Syracuse International Film Festival. The movie screened was Stay (or Sleeping Dogs Lie), written and directed by comedian Bobcat Goldthwait. That particular film is a comedy about a girl coming to grips and being honest with a sexual misdeed from her past. The nature of this misdeed involved fellatio and a dog. At the...

TV Update.
Apparently television viewing is down from last season. The networks are having trouble kick starting the viewer-ship for their fall seasons. Oh well, at least I’m watching. Here is a collection of random thoughts on the past few weeks of TV.
-Is it just me or did Fringe kick into high gear last night? The first few episodes though good were nothing spectacular, but last night’s...
