The Useless Critic 2.0

What you missed Nightcrawler .  Some people have compared this film to Taxi Driver, and when watching it you'll see why.  Jake Gyllenhaal is both compelling in terrifying in this unique and eerie thriller.  I thought this was wonderful and I'm sad to see that Gyllenhaal is not in the Oscar race. What you didn't miss Gone Girl .  I got excited because I love 'The Social Network', another Fincher film.  However, I just flat out did not like anything about it.  The standout performance was Carrie Coon as Margo.  I didn't like either of the main characters and found the story ridiculous and disgusting. The Giver .  The world portrayed is bleak, emotionless and soulless.  Granted, this is intentional, but the whole thing to me played out like mannequins going through the motions.  I didn't care about the characters or the stakes. What I missed Boyhood .  Shot over the course of 12 years to capture a boy growing...

Um, YES? Thank you, God. So October 22....is it really on like Donkey Kong? yes, yes it is. With help from folks like Ed Sheeran, her new album is OUT. I have no idea if I should like Ed Sheeran. Meh. He's not bad... Her first single is called " We Are Never Ever Ever Getting Back Together." I hope it is about Jake Gyllenhaal, personally. Girl is dating a Kennedy now. Get ittttt!!!!

- Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis were there. I am not sure what else happened. - Jenny Lewis was with Jake Gyllenhaal all night! - I should see the Social Network. local boy Trent Reznor cleaned up done good for that nom! mmm hmmm

did you go shopping today, Anne Hathaway? were you one of the crazies that camped outside Best Buy in the snow? because I sure as hell did not. this day frightens me. does Love and Other Drugs not look halfway horrible? HERE IS LIL' KIM TO BRING THINGS FULL CIRCLE oh shit! she's dissing Nicki Minaj. UH OH well, who went to jail and who didn't, Kim.

Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night, And I go back to December.... ALL THE TIME (my jam) Once in a life you buy a CD...and it turns out to be kismet. Or you simply buy a CD, which no one ever does anymore, and that in itself is a big deal. So there I stood at Starbucks, somewhat out-of-step on my lunch break. barista stares at me. " Americano ?" NOD. "Tall?" NOD. (I am a regular, stfu ) "Anything else?" I see Taylor and her poofy purple dress staring at me from the counter. it's tempting. Taylor, courtesy of Cara and Alice way back when, has grown on me. My mom is also a fan. I grab the CD. "This too." The barista continues to stare me down as if she is judging me. So woooot . I could have bought that stinky Katy Perry album instead! BITCH, I AM THE REASON YOU HAVE WORK. WORSHIP ME. The last CD I bought was Charlotte Gainsbourg's IRM in February. I have actually bought all of her albums. this is because a sma...

Prince of Persia is now in theatres. 1st Note: Forget Jake Gyllenhaal. 2nd: Gemma Arterton (seen above) totally rules. 3rd: Will I see this? Doubtful!!! But if you want to go, give some props to Gemma Arterton. She has done some very talented acting work in her career, but it doesn't seem like Prince of Persia will showcase her talent. The same really goes for Jake Gyllenhaal, I mean he has done some good films in the past, but I don't care because I don't find him hot!! After watching the trailers for POP, it seems like this movie will have some decent action scenes with lots of corny lines. I'm sure if anyone is a fan of the game, it is worth seeing. If you're not a fan of the vid game, it may disappoint you. Probably has lots of flash and lots of cheese when any of the characters talk. Source: Foresight and superficial assumption. QATFYG: Have you seen Prince of Persia yet? Do you like Jake Gyllenhaal? Do you like Gemma Arterton? What is your favorite video game-...

In the past few days, I have witnessed two trailers for upcoming films that have really managed to hold my attention. No, not "Old Dogs." Unfortunately. "A Single Man" is Tom Ford's welcome to the big screen (celebrated figure in fashion, can't remember all the details, did the cover of Vanity Fair where Keira Knightley and ScarJo were naked. Just one look at that trailer and you can tell, right off the bat. The fastitiduous detail! Based on the novel by Christopher Isherwood, it tells the story of an English professor in California in the 1960s who recently lost his gay lover in an accident. Following his life in one day (as you see- November in 1962). Julianne Moore co-stars as his best friend (ultimate best friend!), Matthew Goode as his dead lover in flashbacks and the boy from About a Boy as a student that resembles his lover. That kid really grew up! Do you think Erie is going to get this? No, no. I'm not sure if this is the edited or unedited tr...
