Watson’s Review of “Oz the Great and Powerful”

The amazing Technicolor dreamworld of Oz, as originally imagined at the turn of the 20th century by children’s author L. Frank Baum, was unforgettably brought to life in the iconic 1939 screen musical “The Wizard of Oz,” a groundbreaking masterwork that would enrich and live on in childhood memories for decades to come — just… Continue reading Watson’s Review of “Oz the Great and Powerful”

Life Lessons from Former Porn Star Ava Rose

My coming into porn was much like the first 15 minutes of a B-flick slasher film. I got a MySpace message from a 'porn director' and his girlfriend, a 'retired pornstar turned make-up artist'. I use the  term "artist" very sarcastically in this case. Anyhow, the message contained: 1) An introduction: Hi, I'm so and… Continue reading Life Lessons from Former Porn Star Ava Rose

Watson’s Review of “Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters”

“Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters” is a fairy tale remix that’s Grimm in all the wrong ways, a one-joke premise that’s stretched paper-thin before the end of the first reel. Its title will remind many of last year’s “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter,” a goofy comic-book actioner in which America’s 16th president was reimagined as an… Continue reading Watson’s Review of “Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters”

Watson’s Review of “A Good Day to Die Hard”

“A Good Day to Die Hard” is the worst of the “Die Hard” movies, not because of its restrictive 12A rating, nor its over-reliance on computer-generated effects, but because it is the first instalment in the 25-year franchise to treat its audience with open contempt — here is the “Die Hard" for the “Transformers" crowd,… Continue reading Watson’s Review of “A Good Day to Die Hard”

Life Lessons from Fetish Star Cali Logan

I'll always be a Cali girl at heart. There are so many things I miss about home...Mexican food, the beach, sunshine...most of all my friends and family. I didn't even know what a fetish was when I did my first shoot! I got hired to play a super-heroine and I thought it was just some… Continue reading Life Lessons from Fetish Star Cali Logan

Super Bowl Hangover

(written by Milly B. Chacon for The Sports Junkie Hippie) Let's put this Ravens Super Bowl win in context. The Ravens are, almost unquestionably, a great football team. They just beat what most people would have suggested to be the league’s three best teams in three consecutive games, with zero of those games played at home. They… Continue reading Super Bowl Hangover

Happy Post-Super Bowl Monday everyone!

There's not much I can say or do that will aid anyone on this post drunken Puppy Bowl ride into tedious jobs in the morning except that you should consider yourself fucking lucky you have one.My work is ongoing and I am attempting something old, new, borrowed and blue. I'm also dreading Valentine's Day, which,… Continue reading Happy Post-Super Bowl Monday everyone!

Watson’s Review of The Last Stand

“How are you, Sheriff?” Arnold Schwarzenegger’s grizzled lawman Ray Owens is asked in the central firefight of “The Last Stand" after hurling himself through the front doors of a bakery. “Old," is his deadpan reply as he staggers to his feet and brushes the debris off his dusty leather jacket. It’s one of several self-deprecating… Continue reading Watson’s Review of The Last Stand

Watson’s Review of Django Unchained

“The spaghetti western is one of the greatest genres, as far as I know, in the history of the world cinema and definitely in the history of the Italian cinema. The fact is that they've never been truly appreciated.” So says Quentin Tarantino, the exploitation maestro whose encyclopedic knowledge of cinema is legendary and whose… Continue reading Watson’s Review of Django Unchained

Watson’s Review of Les Miserables

Look out at the Toulon dock on the right day in 1815 and you shall see a magnificent sight: a monster sailing ship being dragged to dry land by ropes exhaustively heaved by a raggedy chain gang who are thrashed by waves as they sing a song of slavery. This is the big opening to… Continue reading Watson’s Review of Les Miserables

A New Year’s Resolution

After giving the site a small Facelift, I decided to focus more on the business and start taking things a little more seriously. If this is what I want to do, why not go for it and attempt to make it as big as possible? Now I can relax and see if the Philadelphia Flyers… Continue reading A New Year’s Resolution

Live Tweets from the 70th Annual Golden Globes

We didn't bother to cover the 2013 70th Annual Golden Globes in our traditional method of hits and misses this year. Rather, I took to Twitter in order to communicate with all of you who were watching the same event and arbitrarily comment about what we were all watching unfold. Here are the highlights that… Continue reading Live Tweets from the 70th Annual Golden Globes

Watson’s Review of “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey”

The problem with “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” — and it’s a problem many fans have likely foreseen — is that it follows in the Middle-earth-shattering footsteps of a giant. Peter Jackson’s masterfully assembled “Lord of the Rings” films, based on J. R. R. Tolkien’s classic fantasy book series, arguably made for the greatest trilogy… Continue reading Watson’s Review of “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey”

Watson’s Review of “Life of Pi”

It is as remarkable a culture clash as I can recall. In a small, wooden lifeboat straddling the waves of the vast Pacific Ocean sits an Indian teenage boy named Pi and a fully-grown Bengal tiger named Richard Parker. Victims of a shipwreck, they sit at opposite ends of the 27-foot boat, watching the horizon… Continue reading Watson’s Review of “Life of Pi”

Watson’s Review of “End of Watch”

“End of Watch” is a no holds barred, vivaciously visceral thriller centred on two workaday cops as they patrol the mean streets of South Central Los Angeles. Writer-director David Ayer has been working towards this film his whole career. In his previous efforts, such as “Street Kings,” “S.W.A.T.,” and “Dark Blue,” Ayer strived to enter,… Continue reading Watson’s Review of “End of Watch”

Watson’s Review of “Skyfall”

In a breathtaking, action-drenched prologue that boosts the heart rate and then brings it to a sudden, chilling halt, James Bond adventure “Skyfall” triumphantly vanquishes the bitter aftertaste left behind by the enduring M16 agent’s previous escapade, the chronically arse-numbing “Quantum of Solace,” and boldly promises that great things are to come. It’s an audaciously… Continue reading Watson’s Review of “Skyfall”

Watson’s Review of “Alex Cross”

Detective Alex Cross must be some kind of superhuman. He waltzes into a homicide scene, informed only of the basic details of the situation, and instantly knows all that has occurred. He knows how many were involved in the killing. He knows if the victim was drugged and whether or not they screamed. He knows… Continue reading Watson’s Review of “Alex Cross”
