Novocaine

/ / Movie Reviews
  • Title: Novocaine
  • IMDb: link

Novocaine is an odd film that starts out as an awkward romantic comedy, turns sharply into a Heat-esque serious hardcore heist film, and then for the remainder becomes an adrenaline-fueled action film which could only be compared to something like Crank. It’s one of those films where the wild antics don’t so much take over the story but, for the majority of the film, simply are the story. At times, it’s a bit much for my tastes and could have taken more opportunity to pull back and let its actors (who are doing a good job) breathe.

Green Lantern #20

/ / Comics

Green Lantern #20 offers a couple of stories. In the main tale, we get Hal Jordan on the planet Alteon-X where Erastus the Blacksmith has been consumed with rage, rampaging across the entire planet leaving bodies in his wake. Unable to reason with the hate-fueled madman, Hal attempts to try and let the rage run its course only for it to build to a climax leaving only destruction in its wake. While not a bad little story, there’s nothing all that memorable at the one-off baddie whose anger eventually destroys him.

Shifting Gears – Picnic

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Shifting Gears – Picnic
  • IMDb: link

“Picnic” focuses on the rivalry between Matt (Tim Allen) and Eve (Jenna Elfman) when Riley’s (Kat Dennings) boss adds a picnic table to the shared alley. The bickering between the pair never really escalates to anything of note, they eventually come to shared understanding and peace which is broken by a misunderstanding that is discovered but never acting upon. All in all, it’s a pretty lazy episode that also bleeds into the B-story involving both Matt and Riley struggling to give Carter (Maxwell Simkins) the sex talk which, like the main storyline, doesn’t have a real resolution either.
