Movie Review: Leprechaun

Way back in 1993, writer/director Mark Jones introduced us to his version of the Leprechaun myth. The rules may state that if you catch one, he must take you to his pot of good, but there is nothing that says he cannot hang around and do whatever it takes to get his gold back. That is what the tale here is all about. It opens up in the past, a fellow has caught he wee guy, taken his gold and imprisoned him in a box using a four leaf clover. I don't recall that bit before, but it makes sense, I guess. Doesn't matter, that is what it means in this movie.

Movie Review: We're the Millers

I'd like to say that watching a lot of movies has given some deep insight into storytelling or filmmaking. I think the only thing I can honestly say is that I've seen a lot of movies. Still, it has afforded me perhaps a ouch more recognition of where a movie could have been better, missed opportunities if you will. I have no idea how I would go about making it better, mind you, I just know that it could be. The latest to kick this buzzer off inside my skull is the comedy We're the Millers.
