Transformers

Marco Chacon | Jul 09, 2007

I missed the 1984 TV show by about 5 years: being in high school placed me outside the zone where I'd watch it. I was aware of it though: a Saturday-morning cartoon featuring overly literal n...

1408

Marco Chacon | Jul 09, 2007

I was introduced to 1408 in the audio-book collection Blood and Smoke, three stories by Stephen King that vaguely, barely, relate to death and smoking ... as in ... they have a cigar...

Ocean's Thirteen

Marco Chacon | Jul 09, 2007

The Ocean's movies have always, fundamentally, about getting George Clooney, Matt Damon, and Brad Pitt together and having them look cool. In fact, all you need to know about this movie is at the end...

Marco Chacon | Apr 18, 2007

Clerks

Marco Chacon | Apr 12, 2007

I've got to give Kevin Smith credit--he did something that's very hard to make work. Namely, he put himself in a movie without doing the "look-at-me! I'm-the-director!" thing. In...
