Flakes was a movie I was looking forward to seeing at SXSW.
Starring Zooey Deschanel and Aaron Stanford, this romantic comedy centers around a cereal bar and Zooey’s desire for Aaron to motivate himself a little more and follow his rock dreams and get away from his dead end job. Along the way a rival bar [...]
This will probably go down as the best movie appearing at SXSW this year, and the most popular.
The lines to get into this movie were unlike any of the other films I had seen for any film at the festival, including the opening night premiere of ‘The Lookout.’ And the movie does not disappoint in [...]
This is an enjoyable film. Lean, tight, not a lot of fluff. It has a direction and stays with it till the end.
A nice, dramatic turn for Paul Rudd, who I’m used to seeing in comedy, playing a soon to be out of work clam digger in 1970’s Long Island, as the larger corporations move [...]

That very much carried over into the film as well, cheers and yelps from the audience as [...]
It is funny, that you can have a movie with an Oscar winner and so many well known actors and come out thinking that you just watched such a small movie. That’s a testament to either how hard someone worked on the film to give it that feel, or how hard it was to actually [...]
To be honest, up until an hour before I saw this movie, I had assumed we were going to see a documentary about pot growers - and was not looking forward to it.
But that is not what this movie was at all. It was actually a movie with real, honest to goodness actors, and a [...]
Web Developer by day, this site was first launched in 2005, when I realized I go to the movie theater a LOT more than the average person, and certainly more than the people I associate with.
Doing my best to see a double feature every Friday afternoon, this started as a place to review films, but I think over time I would like to change that to overall film and movie industry essays, with the occassional review thrown in when possible.
