That Not-Quite-So-Cheery Trek . . .

Posted on August 29, 2012 by

Awhile ago, I casted for a remake of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and despite the fact that I know a lot of passionate, diehard Trekkies, I received mostly positive responses. Emboldened by this praise, I toyed with the idea of … Continue reading →

Oh, The Atrocities To Choose From . . .

Posted on August 27, 2012 by

This wasn’t quite the vicious fight I had imagined it being. Your least favorite superhero film of the last decade? I thought this might end up being a three way tie between Catwoman, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and The Spirit, but Catwoman crushed its … Continue reading →

“This Is The Most Fun I’ve Had With My Clothes On.”

Posted on August 26, 2012 by

Action movie about a dude chasing another dude who’s riding a bicycle really fast around New York City? Eh, not that interested. Make one of those dudes Joseph Gordon-Levitt? Yeah, suddenly I’m there opening night.

“Copy, Dispatch. Send . . . More . . . Paramedics.”

Posted on August 23, 2012 by

As many of my friends could tell you, I’m a bit of a zombie enthusiast. Yet, sadly, I developed my love for zombies late in life (like, in my late teens/early twenties) and am thus still catching up on many … Continue reading →

The Monday Morning Blasphemous Poll is Back!

Posted on August 21, 2012 by

On . . . Tuesday. In the evening. Because I was exhausted yesterday, okay, people? Stop pressuring me! Ahem. Anyway, a few people mentioned that they missed my random polls, so I thought I’d start them up again. (Although they won’t … Continue reading →

Coming Soon-Ish: High School Reunions, Dog Thieves, and Charles Dickens . . .

Posted on August 17, 2012 by

10 Years Ah, the reunion movie is back. I’ll admit to being kind of a sucker for reunion movies, although there’s not usually enough violence in them for my tastes. Where is the murder mystery reunion movie? I am dying to … Continue reading →

“I Was In The Hall . . . I Know Because I Was There.”

Posted on August 15, 2012 by

My sister challenged me to write a review for Clue. I laughed at her. Then I tried it. Warnings for self-indulgent nostalgia.

100 Greatest Maniacal Movie Laughs . . .

Posted on August 12, 2012 by

I saw this video on io9 and had to have it for my own. (Or I had to share it for a much smaller audience. You know. Same difference.) Why? Because it’s Sunday morning — well, morning for me — … Continue reading →

Coming Soon-Ish: Zombies, Inspirational Family/Sports Movies, and AMERICA FIGHTS BACK!

Posted on August 10, 2012 by

Red Dawn The funny thing is, I’ve seen the original Red Dawn, but I remember absolutely nothing about it. I think my brain tried to block its existence, or something. I don’t know that this is going to be much better … Continue reading →

“Maybe It’s Time We Stopped Trying to Outsmart the Truth, and Let It Have Its Day.”

Posted on August 9, 2012 by

Finally. I thought I’d never finish this thing. I don’t think the movie’s perfect — I certainly don’t think it’s as good as The Dark Knight — but it is, ultimately, a very satisfying end to a trilogy.
