Okay, full disclosure. I just about wanted to kill myself watching the original Tron. I couldn’t remember much about the original Tron, but was given an opportunity to see it a couple of days ago, and jumped at the chance, figuring that it could enhance my viewing of Tron: Legacy, which I’ve been dying to […]
The end of a beloved saga is always going to divide fans. Revenge of the Sith (and even Return of the Jedi) have hardcore fans, and hardcore detractors. So do the final Pirates of the Caribbean series, and The Matrix films, amongst many others. It’s just impossible to please everybody. The final Harry Potter novel […]
Ya know, I’ve got to admit…I’m getting tired of Zach Galifianakis. To a certain extent, I was tired of him before The Hangover was even finished. I’ve never been a big fan of that whole “annoying guy that everyone grows to love” concept – in fact, I pretty much get sick of all characters/actors who […]
In the mood for blood and boobs in glorious, glorious three dimensions? Looks no further than Piranha 3D! We finally get some horror this summer (the last horror film released theatrically, I think, was Nightmare on Elm Street back in April/May), at the very end. I really am tired of seeing “Watch it in DIGITAL […]
Man, I love the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels. In case you don’t remember, my love for Scott Pilgrim is so strong that I attended a midnight release party for the sixth and final book, Scott Pilgrim’s Finest Hour. The series is funny, heartwarming, and full of awesome action and video game references. Well, now we […]
I’ve been a Sylvester Stallone fan my entire life. Just something about the guy and his rise to fame I find inspiring. I remember the bad Stallone years, right after Get Carter. That film flopped and no one liked it (I did), but then it was followed by either limited release movies or straight-to-DVD fare…not […]
Last Friday night, a buddy of mine and I decided to finally have the horror movie marathon we’ve been talking about for months now…a Freakin’ Fulci Friday Film Fest! What did Freakin’ Fulci Friday Film Fest entail? 3 Lucio Fulci Films – City of the Living Dead, The Beyond, and House by the Cemetary Italian […]
I really dislike Will Ferrell. I mean, sure, I like Old School just like every other dude, but I don’t think I’ve outright enjoyed any film since then where he was the lead (or one of the leads). Maybe it was because I wasn’t too familiar with him when Old School came out, and I […]
I remember, after seeing the trailer for Dinner for Schmucks, thinking “Christ on a bike, who the hell would want to see that movie?” before realizing that my buddy sitting next to me was excited about it. Begrudgingly, I agreed to see it with him, because he’s that movie buddy that will typically go see […]
Dinner theaters are tricky to pull off. There’s simply not one that’s going to please everyone. Hardcore moviegoers get annoyed at being interrupted during the movie with servers bringing food and drink. Casual moviegoers are turned off at the expense of the typically overpriced food. Not only that, dinner theaters are hard to maintain – […]
