#1513 – 1517: The Best Picture Showcase

On Saturday, Ajay and I attended the Best Picture Showcase at AMC Northpark, which showed all five Best Picture nominees in one day.    This was made possible by the kind people at AMC who let me take along someone with me.
All in all, it was a fairly enjoyable day; and outside of the fact that [...]

Academy Awards Liveblog

There’s so many questions for tonight. Will we see a new and exciting Oscar broadcast? Will there be any surprises? More importantly, will we see Hugh Jackman shirtless? Deep, meaningful questions, you know.
Right now, they’re running the red carpet so as soon as the actual ceremony starts, I’ll [...]

Please Excuse The Mess

This weekend it’s my goal to start getting the blog set up under its own domain and everything nifty like that so we shall see how that goes.   If stuff goes a little haywire, my apologies and please stick with me, since I’m definitely technology-challenged.  Hmm.

#1512: Troll 2 – Worst Movies Ever

See if you can spot the addition I made to Troll 2’s incredible movie poster:

Yes, when your movie is called TROLL 2 and has nary a troll in it, I think that’s a good barometer for how the rest of the movie will pan out.   (Wikipedia says that it was renamed Troll 2 to tie [...]

A Return (Unfortunately) To House of the Dead – Worst Movies Ever

I have previously reviewed House of the Dead here but it was submitted for the Worst Movies Ever, so I rewatched it.   Again.   I think this is the third time around.  It gets more abysmal every time I watch it.
I’d ruminate on what exactly is wrong with Uwe Boll but I find myself afraid to [...]

#1511: Worst Movies Ever – Bratz

Is the abyss looking back into me?  Not sure.

Yahoo Movie Mom, I respectfully disagree.
There’s a certain sense of dread and sadness that I feel when Netflix rentals arrive in the mail.   This sense was only amplified when I tore open an envelope to reveal this piece of work and I wish I was wrong about [...]

You Want To See Five Movies For Free, Right?

Of course you do, who doesn’t?
And of course, tagging along with me would just be the cherry on the top, correct?
If you live in Dallas and you’re willing to spend February 21 (that’s a Saturday) locked in the icy confines of AMC Northpark with me watching every Best Picture Winner, then by all means, please [...]

Yeah, I’m Pleasantly Surprised

THANKS, QUENTIN.  You really are going to get this movie out right on time, aren’t you?
A few notes:
I do not know how I feel about that accent of Brad Pitt’s or his line delivery.   This may be something where it’s better in the context of the film than ripped out in [...]

Movie Crack: The Running Man

You know, I kind of have a love/hate relationship with Arnold Schwarzenegger.    It’s the predictability factor; you can count on any Arnold Schwarzenegger movie having some bad puns and the requisite “I’ll be back” quote but there’s something comforting in that.   He’s like Old Reliable; you can watch almost any Schwarzenegger movie and feel like [...]
