Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans
I know it might be hard to imagine Nicolas Cage doing a respectable job as an actor nowadays, especially after that little bear suit incident in The Wicker Man, but apparently he does just that in Werner Herzog's remake of the original Bad Lieute...
Animal Collective - Fall Be Kind EP
With 2009 coming quickly to a close, Animal Collective has one more collection of for all you animals out there to severely overrate. This one, dubbed the Fall Be Kind EP, contains some old live tracks, as well as a few new ones. Here's Mason's t...
Curb Your Enthusiasm (S07E06)
As funny as Curb Your Enthusiasm can be, I sometimes just can not get past the cringe-worthy awkwardness, or the turn-your-head-embarrassing obviousness of some situations, but I guess that's the point of the show. Here's Mason's take on the newe...
House of the Devil
Wouldn't a house of the devil be a makeshift satanic church of sorts? Here's an idea: just stay the F out of it, dummeh. Actually it could prove to be a pretty interesting experience. I wonder what the food equivalent of the body and blood of sat...
Chocolate Raspberry Yoplait Delights
These Yoplait Delights Parfaits look made for a woman, but delicious enough for a man, as well. Finally! A flavor of yogurt I can eat without feeling emasculated! Mason plunged his way into womanhood long enough to get some impressions of these d...
Antichrist
If you were casually walking down the street and happened upon the antichrist, would you offer him/her lunch? How about a bagel? No? Well consider this: If the antichrist were to stumble across your path one day, wouldn't you want a bagel? Exactl...
It\'s Always Sunny In Philadelphia (S05E03)
I wish instead of writing this text that I'm typing right now, I could just append a nice little .gif of Frank hanging from the ceiling of Paddy's, swinging back and forth slightly, and then opening his eyes and talking. If anyone has that, let m...
Dirty Projectors - Bitte Orca
Dirty Projectors wouldn't allow you to see much, I would think, but hey, maybe that's part of why they chose that name. All I know is that Temecula and Stillness Is The Move are songs that pretty much defy most of the conventions that I'm used to...
The Office (S06E01)
I would rather eat a whole pie of Alfredo's Pizza Cafe pizza before going another week without The Office, even if that pizza was inside a jello mold. That would be really hard to do - That's what she said. Reviewer Mason Categories TV Sh...
True Blood (S02E12)
Even though that's all for True Blood this year, we have a lot to look back on, and a lot to theorize about, given what partial answers they've provided. The finale was literally action packed, not even slowing down to catch its breath. Here's Ma...
Inglourious Basterds
I have to say, the only thing Inglourious about Inglourious Basterds is how little screen time the actual Basterds got. Some of the more glourious aspects? Nazi scalping, the Bear Jew, Lieutenant Aldo Raine's branding mark, and, of course, Shosha...
Mad Men (S03E01)
Mason is pretty into Mad Men, even though he himself looks more like a seventies kinda guy to me, but maybe in his free time he wears classy vintage suits, I actually don't know. All I know is it seems like aspiring to be like Don Draper might be...
True Blood (S02E07)
It's about time True Blood got some of its interesting back. It seems like we've finally gotten to where the whole season has been heading. I was worried for a bit there. Basically the only redeeming thing before this was Paquin's constant nudity...
Moon (film)
The Moon is a pretty durned mysterious place, all dusty and big. Wouldn't it be funny if the little guys on the "dark side" of the Moon were making a sci-fi movie about the dangerous beasts and creatures that reside on Earth? "Planet Earth", they...
Away We Go
If your name is John Krasinski, you pretty much have the golden ticket to Hollywood right about now. And if your name is Sam Mendes, and there may be a few of you, your debut film garnered about $350 million worldwide, so you're not doing too bad...
Entourage (S06E02)
Idea! Someone (not me, a famous person) should start an organization that forces famous people to adopt a middle class person. If they're gonna make us watch how great it is to be them, it's only fair. The "Thanks-a-lot-Wahlberg Foundation", they...
Entourage (S06E01)
Like it or wanna punch it in the face, Entourage is back for a sixth season. No matter what you do or say. Well, I guess turning of the TV, or changing the channel, is an option, but what if you can't find the remote, or worse, it's ALL THE WAY o...
Public Enemies
The only public enemies I know are lettuce, and Chuck D. and Flavor Flav. I guess I'm just a child of a different era. Nowadays no one really has to worry about explosive bank heists, or the charming men that craft them. Just bank failures. Revi...
Wilco (The Album)
You've gotta be pretty audacious to name not only an album after yourself, but a song on said self-titled album. Either that, or they just really don't care at all, which seems a hell of a lot more Wilco to me than the former. Here's Mason's self...
Cigarettes and Coffee
Paul Thomas Anderson's not really a cookie cutter director, having created such originals as Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Punch-Drunk Love, and There Will Be Blood, but his early film, Cigarettes and Coffee, really shows what he had in him. Reviewe...
True Blood (S02E02)
Mason told me he tried making his own TruBlood once. He mixed up some water, flour, and food coloring, then added a bit of Garlic and put it all into a silver flask. I told him that was kinda defeating the purpose, but I don't think he understood...
Year One
Lots of stuff happened in the year one, man. Wait a second, if it's the year one, how is Jack Black like forty years old? Seems to me that everyone should be in some sort of baby phase. At least there weren't any Dinosaurs. Someone told me they l...
Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
I don't think there was ever a guy who like both guns and drugs as much as Hunter S. Thompson did. I also don't think there's a guy with a cooler, more hilarious mass-remembered catchphrase than "We can't stop here, this is bat country!" Fun guy!...
Desaparecidos - Read Music/Speak Spanish
Speaking Spanish is good and all, but I'd rather be able to speak music. While we're at it, why not speak some colors and some smells, too? Hell, maybe I could just speak myself a new MacBook, and a new 240sx. Yes, ladies, my mouth does have magi...
Taking Back Sunday - New Again
It's a double dose of Mason today, folks. He already enlightened you about Checkers Prime Rib Burger, now let him opine to you the qualities and/or lack thereof that combine to make up Taking Back Sunday's newest release, New Again. Reviewer ...
Checkers Prime Rib Burger
This new Prime Rib Bacon Burger is put together with slices of Prime Rib and a burger patty topped with bacon and some weird sauce I didn't like very much. Checkers takes this delicious looking burger and somehow gets it to taste just like a Chec...
Drag Me To Hell
Once you finally do get dragged to hell, you'll be given the opportunity to face the robot devil in a bout of dueling banjos. Emerge victorious, and you may find your stay a bit more pleasant. Mason and Chris returned from the fiery depths with d...
Summer Heights High
Listen, you may or may not like school, but just be happy you don't have to attend Summer Heights High and have to deal with little Jonah Takalua. Or Ja'mie King (drama queen) and Mr. G (drama department queen), all of whom are Chris Lilley. Rev...
True Blood Season 1 DVD
Vampires really kinda exploded again last year, what with Twilight and True Blood. True Blood takes a slightly different approach to the vampire world, though. Or does it? I guess that'd be your call, but Mason's here to guide you if you need it....
Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band - Outer South
Conor Oberst is a man of many facets. One day he's labeled an emo founding father, the next he's a folk rock hero, garnering Bob Dylan comparisons left and right. Then, sometimes he's an electronica dude. Sounds like a pretty lucky guy to me. R...
