If we’re judging by the past two movies I’ve seen in the theater, parents have completely lost it.
I saw “Step Brothers” last night. Hilarious. I’ll get into my thoughts in a second. But first I have to sadly report that the exact same thing happened during that movie that did during “The Dark Knight”. Two young women sat in front [...]

Things I’ve learned from “The Dark Knight”

I swore I wasn’t going to cave in to the pulverizing temptation to blog about what I learned from the most creepily-anticipated movie ever made, “The Dark Knight.” I promised myself I would not allow the phenomenom of the morbid to sweep me up in its black cape. I would not ride the coattails of a dead antagonist. [...]

Even though I’m 28, I love Pixar movies. I was hooked ever since I saw the first “Toy Story.” That movie revolutionized the animated film, in some ways for the worse as studios no longer hand-draw their illustrations. It’s all on the computer. I think that’s kind of sad because some of the best animated [...]
Things I’ve learned from “Predator”

When I was in college, we used to do an impression of a line from “Predator”: “Quickly, everyone, get to the chopper.” It was of course awash in Arnold’s signature accent and – aside from the one, constant pronunciation of “chopper” as “choppa” – everyone had a different way of inflection. We eventually [...]

If you were forced at flamethrower-point to name your top three favorite 80s’ movies, would one of them be Richard Donner’s classic about a band of misfits on a convoluted treasure hunt? Maybe, maybe not. As far as I’m concerned, it’s not. It’s probably number 24 or so. But that doesn’t mean “The Goonies” isn’t a [...]

I’m a sucker for a comic book hero movie. I’ve seen every one since the first “X-Men” came out (the start of the trend in Hollywood). When I was a kid, I collected both comic books and Marvel cards. In fact, I still own Series 1 through 3 and all the related [...]

Saw Stanley Kubrick’s final film in its entirety last night for the first time. Previously, I’d only made it to after Cruise leaves the masked orgy. Turns out I really liked it, even if they could’ve sped through some parts. Here’s some things I’ve learned.
#15: When searching for the most menacing mask available, chose that [...]
