JUDGEMENT!: Catfish

Catfish functioned off of the same marketing brilliance that The Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity utilized, promising audiences a massive payoff of spectacle at the end of an (allegedly) true documentary. While Blair Witch and Paranormal both are admittedly fictional, however, Catfish rode the majority of its press junkets insisting that all the materials held within were, in fact, 100% factual. And regardless of the content, any event that promises, overtly, that all of its contents are COMPLETELY true is obviously broadcasting the notion that what you are about to view is simply TOO incredible to be true. In the case of Catfish, however, nothing could, in fact, be further from the truth.

JUDGEMENT!: Let Me In

Hey DNA-ers!  (Man, I gotta work on that)  This is Alex with another review of Hollywood's recent offerings.  This particular review is of Matt Reeves' remake, Let Me In.  Enjoy?  Enjoy!

Despite the fact that I am an unabashed opponent of 90% of all remakes done in cinema, there is occasionally an actual, valid excuse for producing one.  Whether time has lapsed and a story of yesteryear feels as though it can benefit from being reincarnated in the present pop-culture landscape (Ocean’s Eleven), or a director has been saving a passion project for years that he feels can only be served best by his own, personal spin on the tale (The Fly), there are reasonable means for endeavoring a remake of a production.  Unfortunately, Let Me In does not contain a single one of them. 

JUDGEMENT!: The Social Network

Hey gang!  And by gang I mean the two people who accidentally stumble across our page a day!  It's your friendly-neighborhood Alex here with a new component that I hope to bring to The DNA Show.  Along with our podcasts in which Dante and I cover multitudes of pop culture all in a handy-dandy audio format, I'm also going to be posting in-depth written critiques of current entertainment endeavors.  First off, I'd like to start off our adventures on this site with David Fincher's The Social Network.  These posts will also be uploaded on my personal website, Shwayblog, so feel free to drop by either or and gives me the traffics! <3
