Movie Review #51: Cabin in the Woods

Do you dare me to write 400 words about Cabin in the Woods without giving anything away? Dare accepted. 1. I love this movie. There’s four words right there. Hmmmm… what else can I say? 2. Thor is in this movie. That’s a fact. 3. This movie is Joss Whedon’s second best movie of the [...]

Movie Review #35: The Avengers

Yesterday, I was browsing the interwebs and came across a list. I was giddy! A LIST?!?! My favorite. It was a list of the top 10 greatest comic book movies of all time. In the blurb about the list, the writer announces that he and the staff have seen Avengers and yes it is on [...]

Movie Review #6: The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

Well, as long as we’re on movies that are in the theater right now, lets talk about David Fincher’s Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I’ll be honest, I looked forward to this movie greatly and I would not say that this movie quite lived up to that expectation. The reality is that I expected a [...]

Movie Review #150: Forget Paris

I was buying Christmas gifts on Amazon a few weeks ago and I came across something I didn’t realize I would need… a DVD copy of Forget Paris. You see, its not available on watch instant, though don’t ask me why that’s the case. It’s not like it’s God’s gift to comedies. It’s not like [...]

Movie Review #153: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt 2 (2)

Whilst playing a rousing game of mahjong it was decided that we would continue our Harry Potter Marathon, but we would jump ahead to Deathly Hallows 2 so that we could demonstrate one of the more confusing parts of the movie. It was up to question how harry had managed to come back from the [...]

Movie Review #152: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Part 1 of my review of Oldman’s career ruled. Part 2 was even better! But now for the end of the Trilogy. The best of the best. We had Oldman’s “Badass Period”, which he followed with his “Bored Period” and onto my favorite, his “Greatness Period”. Between 2001-2004, he did some weird TV stuff that [...]

Movie Review #151: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Last week, I went to Jess’ home and got to see her hometown. It was quite fun. Her favorite thing to do at home? Watch Harry Potter movies. I narrowly avoided having to watch HP1 or HP2. I convinced her to watch HP3. I nearly forgot that I did this, but it is important that [...]

Christmas Movie Fight #12: Home Alone vs. Eight Crazy Nights

Fight for the #7 Christmas movie: Home Alone (1-0) vs. Eight Crazy Nights (1-0) OK, I am voting for Home Alone on this one. Lets be clear that there is no reason to believe that Eight Crazy Nights is not a Christmas movie. It’s really a quite cute film with some really great comedy and [...]

Movie Review #147: World’s Greatest Dad

A few days ago I realized that I was surely going to make it to 150 movies watched this year. I hadn’t really intended to hit any milestones this year. I was very curious to see if I was going to go over 1 movie every 3 days. I hit that mark something like a [...]

Christmas Movie Fight #10: Die Hard vs. Love Actually

Fight for the #1 CONTENDER to the Christmas Movie Champ! Die Hard (2-0) vs Love Actually (2-0) What is with you people’s votes?! I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. Are we actually going to content that one of these movies is in the top 2 christmas movies of all time? I mean, I know [...]

Movie Review #145: Harry Brown

Did you know that I’ve never seen Lethal Weapon? I’ve never seen any of the lethal Weapons. It’s a true fact. I’m ashamed, but I have intended to fix that for some time now. So recently, when the GF announced that the movie she wanted to watch that was “exciting, but no rape”, I was [...]

Movie Review #143: The Return of the Living Dead

The best quote I can think of to describe this movie is as follows: “If i wrote the perfect movie when i was 14 years old, this movie would be that movie!” I know I’m a bit behind on knowing about this movie’s existence, but somehow it completely avoided my gaze for the longest time. [...]

Movie Review #140: Gamorrah

I swear. No joke. It took me 10 tries to watch this entire movie. I’d really love to hear more from someone that watched this movie and thoroughly enjoyed it, because to be perfectly honest, I’m at a loss for as to what it was that didn’t work for me. This movie had a bunch [...]

Movie Review #138: Die Hard

Can you believe that it took me all the way to late november to watch Die Hard for the first time all year. I wonder what % of my movies I’ve watched this year are movies I’ve seen before vs. what % are those I’ve never seen. I bet its something like 80% new. We [...]
