It’s been a crazy week at work, so we didn’t make much progress on the AFI movie challenge this week. Early in the week when my eyes felt like they would burst into flames and my hands were blazing with early onset arthritis, we did take a break to knock one movie off the list. […]
Last week the wife came home and made a bold declaration. “There’s tons of movies … really good ones … that I need to see.” See, she’ll watch hours of Real Housewives and tons of useless crap on Bravo and E! but when I’ve mentioned watching movies of actual value, I get the eye rolls […]
If you don’t know the joys of Mystery Science Theater 3000, then I don’t know what to do with you. It’s a fabulous program that entertained me through much of high school and college. When the wife and I realized our shared love of the show, at least I knew we’d always have Joel, Tom […]
Time for a couple trailers for movies I am looking forward to seeing. Moonrise Kingdom is the real gem of this bunch. It’s the return of one of my favorite directors, Wes Anderson, he of Rushmore, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Royal Tenenbaums and Life Aquatic fame. My joy runneth over watching this trailer. The Dark Knight […]
A bonus Friday Funnies for you. Because it’s Christmas, and if Clark W. Griswold is who I can aspire to be as a grown-up, life will at least be full of adventure, and that ain’t so bad. […]
I know you’ve put up with my goofy obsession with movie bloopers, and while you may not enjoy them all, you have to take a moment and check this one out. And if you can’t see the amazing movie screwup here, then you are blind and have no sense of humor. Because how this happened […]
I’m showing off two trailers today that are geared toward the wife but for two wholly different reasons. First up is the trailer for One for the Money. The wife reads these Janet Evananonconcnnovovnivich books like I read UK recruiting news, which is scary since it means I probably have a problem that needs professional […]
A bonus edition of Friday Funnies for you, where I’m showing more movie bloopers that I find funny. This time, it’s from Star Wars, where George Lucas apparently didn’t digitally redo everything in the movies because he forgot about his too-tall storm trooper. If you don’t think it’s funny on first view, just hit replay […]
I know I’m probably alone when I ask if anyone else who reads this blog has played Portal and Portal 2. The sequel is one of the best games to be made this year, and director Dan Trachtenberg has gone the extra mile and made a faux movie based on the game. This is a […]
I’ve never watched any of the Final Destination movies, because the premise just doesn’t appeal to me at all. But I gotta say, this marketing pitch for FD5 is pretty unique and a good way to get us older folk who grew up watching Saved by the Bell and think watching spoofs of this is […]
