I'll start off this blog by saying, I love this film. When I first saw it, I thought it was perhaps the 3rd best film I had seen last year. After 3 months and 10 subsequent viwings (yes, I mean 10), It's tied for my favorite film of all time. It's such a touching and original story that is still fresh after every rewatch. So you can imagine what my response to the news of remake… Continue

Im going to post this early as if I do end up seeing any more films this week, it'll be a second viewing of Coraline, this time in 3D. Since Coraline's the newest film I saw this week, I'll place it conveniently at top. If you'e wondering what else I saw this week, I have it down lower. Also, I usually write these for a column I do on IMDB so I use numerical ratings instead of the spill one we usually use. So... here goes:…

I've decided to put Taken on top of the list of films I saw this week in an effort to get this blog featured (:P). I've started a new weekly thing where I share all the films I saw during the week. It's a way for me to keep track of everything Ive seen and what exactly I thought about it when it was still fresh in my mind. Also, I get to give reccommendations and my thoughts on films you should and shouldn't rent next time you go to Blockbuster. Also, I usually write these for a column I do on… Continue

Yes I know how late this is. When I realized I wasn't going to watch Slumdog or The Wrestler anytime soon, I decided to post it.







10. Get Smart (2008) (Followed very closely by Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian)



Yes I KNOW this has only a thread of a plot. This film gave me everything I ask for from a summer film: a lot of laughs, some great action, and Anne Hathaway looking… Continue

Now remakes have been around for a long time. Even movies we consider classics are sometimes remakes themselves, such as Ben-Hur and The Wizard of Oz. But recently, we've seen a large wave of remakes and a lot planned in the coming years. The major problem is that Hollywood is not doing it right. Here are several keys on How To Make A Good Remake:







Find A Producer/Director Who Cares About The Original



Now if you're remaking some crappy 80's techtrance… Continue

For a more extensive history of the movies I like and dislike, go here: http://www.imdb.com/mymovies/list?l=37463023. For this time, I've changed around about 11 different movies. I really don't have a favorite film and I'm no good at putting some movies over others. but there are movies I really liked a little more than other movies I really like (?) so I'll have five categories: 50-36, 35-26, 25-16, 15-6, 1-5; each in no particuliar order (except for my top 5).



#50 to… Continue

Now you'd think movies intended as dumb fun would at least be fun right? Well, here's several action flicks that will prove you otherwise:

5. Final Justice (1985)



Why in the hell did anyone decide that fatass Joe Don Baker would make a good action hero? Who??? This movie features our morbidly obese hero as a man who cannot stop mumbling random crap from his lips. He makes for a poor man's Dirty Harry. My Advice?… Continue

For a more extensive history of the movies I like and dislike, go here: http://www.imdb.com/mymovies/list?l=37463023 . I can't remember every movie I've ever seen but this is about half. I really don't have a favorite film and I'm no good at putting some movies over others. but there are movies I really liked a little more than other movies I really like (?) so I'll have five categories: 50-36, 35-26, 25-16, 15-6, 1-5; each in no particuliar order. I extended it to 50 I took the time to reorder… Continue

I'd like to analyze a myth about movies that's known as the "perfect movie". A lot of people, especially on IMDB and other movie forums, like to proclaim the existance of "perfect movies" such as The Godfather, Citizen Kane, or 2001: A Space Odyssey. Now personally, I'll admit that I'm not as educated in "classic" movies as the average person on a movie forum such as this one. I haven't seen Casablanca, The Seven Samurai, The Third Man, and a couple other much older movies. But I find the idea… Continue
