Patrick With the proliferation of YouTube and other video sharing sites on the internet, it’s surprising that there are still film festivals that like to call themselves “independent.” If it were up to me, anything with a budget over $10,000 is not an independent film, but rather a small company. Everyone works for some kind of [...]
February 16th, 2011 Patrick Hollywood lost another great comedic legend. Kenneth Mars recently succumbed to pancreatic cancer. Some of you may be wondering who that is. Kenneth Mars had a small but very memorable role in one of Mel Brooks’ most famous movies, Young Frankenstein. The thick German accent that Mars used and the wooden arm he used as a prop was one [...]
January 26th, 2011 Patrick What do Twilight, Sex and the City 2 and The Last Airbender all have in common? They were all nominated for Razzies. This “award” is the anti-Oscar, set aside for movies, actors, directors, etc. that are unmitigated disasters either critically, commercially or both. I have to wonder how badly some stars would like to see the Razzies disappear. [...]
December 13th, 2010 Patrick This season has been the inspiration for a number of classic movies. And some say that the movie you prefer reveals something about your personality. Newsweek listed some of the standard holiday movies and their interpretation of what character traits it reveals. Considering I was just talking about the importance of being optimistic, your answer [...]
November 16th, 2010 Patrick Last week, Zagat’s presented their list for the greates movies of all time. This week, MSN decided to list the 50 greatest sci-fi movies. I love science fiction and do consider myself to be a bit knowledgeable when it comes to movies, but after reading some of the entries on this list, I may have [...]
November 1st, 2010 Patrick There seems to be a glut of 3D movies coming to theaters. Some of them warrant it if they have interesting visuals. As much as I hated the movie, Avatar is one of those that deserved the 3D treatment. I haven’t heard of another movie since that isn’t some attempt to cash in on an [...]
October 25th, 2010 Patrick I’ve had a few friends ask about this whole RiffTrax thing I’ve been talking about, so I decided to post a sample video. I do own the Jurassic park rifftrax, but I did not put this video together. It does give you a good idea of how the two interact and how much fun it [...]
October 15th, 2010 Patrick I loved MST3K when I was growing up. If you never saw it, three people would sit and hurl jokes at an old, cheesy movie as the movie played. The three that did this changed during the course of the show, but three that ended the show got together recently to create the same atmosphere [...]
September 14th, 2010 Patrick I have to say that this recent reboot of Star Trek is a fun movie to watch. I know this is a blog post that’s a year too late, but I’m watching it right now, and as a long time fan of the series, I like the direction they took with the franchise. The story [...]
August 20th, 2010 Patrick My wife saw her first Jaws movie last night. She’s never seen the original Jaws, but I’ve seen them all, so I knew what to expect from this first sequel. I used that to my advantage. When the shark was getting ready to make a surprise appearance, I made it a point to have my [...]
