The Riflemans Top Ten Movies of the Decade (first blog post)

Hello everyone, I'm the GumGumRifleman. Now while I am a major fan of Anime, I am also a huge fan of movies and TV. I have always liked to see movies ever since I was a little kid watching Jurassic Park. While I have been through two decades, one of them I was too young to really watch anything and too young to really right anything about movies yet. But I have been wanting to do this for quite a while and now I finally can. This decade brought us alot of amazing movies. Some small, some big and… Continue

Last Year In Film: Frost/Nixon

I am an all round geek. A jack of all geek trades and a master of none and one of the facets that makes up that geek whole is political geekery. I first started to become interested in politics around the time that George W. Bush came to power as the president of the United States and so my interest has always been with American politics, which is far, far more interesting than our rather underwhelming British system, and in particular the dark, shadier side of the political scene. It should be… Continue

Changeling Overlooked!

Wow, I watched this movie on my always handy Charter On Demand for 5.99 (WO!) in HD and I was completely in aww of the movie. Maybe I'm one of the few that thought it was an amazing film but I will stand by that bold claim. First off, Anglina Jolie, who I thought was no… Continue

2009 Razzie Award Winners - Whaaaaa?

So the 2009 Razzie Awards were given out Saturday (the day before the Oscars, as is tradition) and while I'd rather not argue with them (because everything on this list is MORE than deserving), I do feel like the voting may have been skewed a bit...

But first, the winners:

Worst Picture: The Love Guru

Worst Actor: Mike Myers - The Love Guru Worst Actress: Par… Continue

How To Fix the Oscars (No, not like that)

I recently read a story about how people in Hollywood are scared that the Oscars don't mean much to people anymore. Many A-list stars are turning down chances to present Oscars, or not even showing up at all. They feel that people just don't care about who wins anymore. So I have a suggestion for you, Hollywood: MAKE US CARE! The Oscars are entirely created, voted on, and presented by the Hollywood elite, and they're complaining that we don't like their little award ceremony. Well, I've come u… Continue

Oscar Winner Leaked?

On the eve of tomorrow night’s academy awards a internet source working closely with the academy have leaked a supposed list of the winner of the prestigious award. Whether or not we are to believe it is another story. This could be the truth or it could be something to take our scent away from the real winners. I guess we’re going to have to find out the truth tomorrow night. For now here are the winners (supposedly). Actor in a leading role: Mickey Rourke Actor in a supporting role: Heath Led… Continue

Why the oscars matter.

Okay as the day went on I went from being mad at the Oscars for not giving a nod to The Dark Knight to being mad at people for people saying the Oscars don't matter. I mean I feel like when people say that it's either because they don't give a **** about movie's or two they are just dumb. The Oscars matter a whole lot to people. Without Oscars all we would have is blockbusters with big budgets and small movies with no budget. What?! You say that we have now? Wrong! The Curious Case of Benjamin B… Continue

The nominations are in

This will be the 81st Oscar Awards celebration and we now know who the finalists will be. I am not going to cover every category or every nominee in every category but I notice every year there are always some questions as to how in the hell something got nominated. There is also my favorite question of “If it is nominated for best screen play then how does it not get nominated for best picture?” Today we are going to look at some these questions as I go through some of the categories and give… Continue
