Nothing like celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with some stereotypical, unrealistic, Lucky Charms-accented Irishmen, eh?
The Boondock Saints takes place in South Boston, where a pair of Irish immigrant twins, Connor and Murphy McManus (played by Sean Patrick Flannery and Norman Reedus) are living in near squalor, attending church faithfully and working in a meatpacking plant. A [...]

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 [...]

I can think of no finer example of genuine movie crack than Dracula 2000.
It’s a godawful movie. It hammers you over the head with the subtext; the idea of (spoiler!) Dracula originally being Judas Iscariot is nothing new; it takes characters from the original Bram Stoker novel and warps them beyond recognition. It’s nothing new [...]

So, today was a blissfully serene day. I got some good sleep in; I lounged around for a while and did some nerdy things while I let my back rest a bit, since I apparently did something not nice to it this weekend. And after a while, I came to a startling [...]

I promised y’all some non-horror, so here it is.
And I never said Movie Crack was a pretty sight, you guys. Some of you may disown me, some of you may swear at me, but God as my witness I sure as hell love this movie.
There’s something insane and crazy about Spice World, It is, quite [...]

I was talking to a good friend of mine (and sometimes 1,416 and Counting commenter) about her thoughts on Empire Records. Her answer?
“Where do thoughts come from? They just appear!”
What makes Empire Records so infinitely watchable is the sheer fact that not only is it light-hearted fun, but it’s quotable like very few other movies.
Empire [...]

The first time I watched this movie, I kind of felt like, “Is this movie a joke? No, they’re for real! They’re for real! Holy cow, they’re serious. Oh my god, this is awesome in such a bad way.”
Jack Ryan is all business. First he takes on [...]

Someday, when the aliens invade and begins systematically changing people into their minions, Clue will be my litmus test to determine who’s human….and who is not!
That’s right, I said it: If you don’t like Clue, there’s something wrong with you and yes, you probably are a pod person.
I can’t tell you how many times [...]

Guys, I have to make a terrible confession. Have you wondered all these years why Nicolas Cage has a film career? It’s me, people, it’s all me. I’m the sole moviegoer keeping Cage in business. It’s sad to admit, but my name is Caitlin and I’m addicted to bad [...]

I was a child of the late ’80’s and ’90’s, so my first memories of movies were VHS tapes. With so many viewings and rewindings, you could wear those suckers out. Sure, you had to try really hard, but my family managed to do it several times. I think between [...]
