BALLS OF FURY

  Year Released: 2007 MPAA Rating: PG-13 Running Time: 90 minutes |
“Balls of Fury” is a bundle of non-funny. I am still in awe that a film that has as many funny humans involved could be such a root canal of a comedy…

IN DREAMS: MY FUTURE”INLAND EMPIRE” REVIEW
I rented Inland Empire yesterday, never seen it before. I’m a big Lynch fan since the Twin Peaks days. Not as big of a fan of his surreal stuff like Eraserhead, but I can appreciate it. He’s a genius, no if/ands/buts. However, as usual, one thing led to another and I had NO time at all [...]

WOULDN’T YOU LIKE TO BE A HATEFUL IDIOT TOO?
Dear Mike Bennett, My name is Michael Ferraro and I am the author of the story entitled “I know who killed Chris Farley.” I was just doing my daily internet surfing routine when I came across your comment.

RANDOM ACTS OF MIKE WATT: HOW I DIDN’T SPEND MY SUMMER VACATION.
Since we spent our summer shooting our new movie, we haven’t had much of an opportunity to actually watch many movies, much to the chagrin of my Netflix list. The only thing that keeps depression at bay is that this summer has, for the most part, sucked for movies. I say that like it’s some [...]

CHRISTMAS CAME EARLY THIS YEAR…
I have in my hands, the DVD for the absolute GREATEST cinematic disaster of all time. “Exorcist II: The Heretic”. A movie that isn’t just bad, or badly made, but laughable and completely incomprehensible to an extent that has to be seen to be believed. I saw it as a wee lad when it played [...]
