Award season

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. [...]

Holiday movies

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 [...]

50 greatest Sci-fi films

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 [...]

RiffTrax

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 [...]

Star Trek

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 [...]

Jaws 2

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 [...]

Cant stop being a geek

I took a road trip to Minnesota this past weekend and its a 7 hour drive for me to get to my destination. In order to make the time go by faster, I listen to music like most people, but I listen a little differently. I listen to movie scores and other off the wall [...]

Macgruber – SNL style action

I’m not a fan of the current Saturday Night Live, and I haven’t been a fan for a while. The last time I watched an original airing of SNL was when Dana Carvey and Mike Myers were still doing the Wayne’s World sketch. Since then, I have had to wait for something that would require [...]

Which one is best?

This is one of those poll questions that is too early to ask, but I have pushed to my breaking point. The latest take on the fictional character Robin Hood opens this week, and it got me to thinking about the various movies. After realizing that this is a particular topic that needs to be [...]

The best and worst superhero movie ever?

Continuing with the poll typr posts, let’s pose another question: what is the best and worst superhero movie of all time? And when I say movie, I mean theater movie, not made for TV movie. For me, I have a hard time naming the best.  I grew up with many, the original Superman from the [...]
