The Substance: Albert Hofmann’s LSD starts out with a visual trip of colours and random imagery, in a subtle way, suggesting that this might be how you might experience a good LSD trip. The very visual intro also makes the viewer a bit curious to what might be said about LSD in the documentary. Is [...]
I suppose it’s safe to say we’ve never seen an opening night like Dark Knight Rises, and I hope the actions of the crazed, lone gunman, James Holmes, don’t deter people from seeing this film, because despite its darkness and violence, it is a masterpiece. And I can assure you, Batman films did not and [...]
When I first heard about The Amazing Spider-Man last year I was pretty apathetic towards its production. I didn’t hate the Toby Maguire movies enough to feel the series needed to be rebooted so soon. When it first came out a few weeks ago I decided I wanted to see it, but my friend and [...]
When I heard about Adam Sandler’s latest film, That’s My Boy, needless to say I was hesitant to pay money to see it. The last Happy Madison Production I thoroughly enjoyed was Big Daddy – 13 years ago. So when I heard Sandler was making another daddy picture to be released, fittingly, on Father’s Day, [...]

I didn’t have to smoke pot to become a huge Harold and Kumar fan. When I saw the first film I was sober, and I loved it. But now that I do smoke, I have a new-found appreciation for the films that not only poke fan at potheads, but also find a way to support [...]
As you all know I have been foaming at the mouth for this film for years, so when The Rum Diary premiered Friday, nothing was going to get between me and that movie. I actually drove 6 hours roundtrip to see the film, so let me be the first to tell you that if you [...]
I’m sorry. I think the real movie title is Tron: Legacy, but for me the experience was pure Ecstasy. You see, Professor Heinous once graduated from College. On the same day I graduated, Tron: [whatever] opened. Coincidence? I think not! Two and a half hits of Ecstasy later I was feeling GREAT. We arrived at [...]
