Now a lot of you might wonder why I would chose FX’s Archer to review with a martini rather than, say, any of the James Bond films. First off, I’ve never really enjoyed the franchise. Sure, I loved Skyfall as much as the next person, but it’s not quite my cup of tea. Archer is suave and…
I’m writing to you now from my second flight on the way to a math conference in San Diego. Lucky for me, United Airlines showed Trouble with the Curve (2012) on both legs of the flight. While there’s a little bit of alcohol in the movie–everyone goes to a bar a few times, Amy Adams…
A lot of people I know didn’t like Black Swan (2010). It had an awkward balance of horror and drama with a lesbian scene thrown in. Well, that’s wrong. Black Swan is one of the most intimate, provocative films I’ve seen in a while, wrapped up in a psychological thriller. It proposes a shocking duality…
Even though I watch Elf (2003) at least once a year and have gotten quite sick of it, it still holds as one of my favorite Christmas movies. It’s hilarious, well-written, and conveniently for me has some sneaky ways of incorporating alcohol. Grab a flask of your favorite syrup and a cup of coffee and join…
There are a variety of reasons I chose to review Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991). First of all, this is the sixth Star Trek film (6 just happens to be my favorite number), which premiered on Dec 6th, 1991. Dec 6th also happens to be my birthday (I’m 22 today!). Even more fitting, Star Trek…
It turns out that having a sinus infection is worse than you for drinking, so I slept all last week and Thirsty Thursday passed me by. In return, I present to you a seemingly unrelated double review: Harold and Maude (1971) and Charlie Bartlett (2007). “Now, what the hell could these two movies have in common,” asks the movie-viewer…
After a long 3 weeks, Seven Psychopaths (2012) finally came to Canton, NY. This is a movie that I’d been waiting to see for a few months now. If you need some reasons to see it, consider these: Sam Rockwell, Christopher Walken, Colin Farell, and Woody Harrelson. Regardless of whether or not I was going to review…
