1.) Ah, nothing screams, “I’m making an American director making a movie set in Italy than a credit sequence featuring Volare. 2.) Oh, cool. Is this going to be told from the perspective of another character and then have everything changed at the very end. 3.) It is not. The traffic cop was just introducing … Continue reading

What I Watched… Vol. 10
Attack the Block I had heard so much praise for this film that when the time came to finally watched it, I was very guarded. I didn’t want to get my hopes up too high and at the same time I really wanted to like it. The plot is like what Warriors would be like … Continue reading
What I Watched Vol. 9
Tucker & Dale vs. Evil I heard a lot about this movie during it’s very limited and brief theater run. The trailers and clips looked hilarious and so I expected this to be a laugh-out-loud horror comedy. Well, it’s not quite that, but it’s still enjoyable. A smart and often funny twist on the horror … Continue reading
What I Watched… (Vol. 8)
So yeaaa… it’s been a while since I did one of these. Sufficed to say, the previous year was pretty hellish and posting these updates were the last thing on my mind. But that’s all in the past and onward we march into the future. Underworld Awakening IMAX 3D I preceded watching this movie by … Continue reading
My Top Ten Movies of 2011
Every movie buff/critic/pundit/hack has one. These are my top ten movies of 2011. Granted, there are still movies that I wanted to see that I just didn’t have a chance to check out and short of going to a Redbox and emptying out 21 DVDs, I’ve capped it at what I’ve seen thus far. So the 21 … Continue reading
Favorite Performances of 2011
Originally, I was going to title this Top Ten Performances, but frankly, I’d want to limit those to the Best and Worsts lists. Instead, these are just a bunch of performances from actors that I really enjoyed. You’ll notice once I post my Top Ten list that some of the names and titles listed below … Continue reading
Top Ten Disappointments of 2011
I didn’t think I’d be posting back on here, but since I can’t post this kind of stuff on my Fandango blog feed, I’ve turned to this blog to get it out of my system. I’ll have the Top Ten list soon (a few more movies I need to catch up on) as well as … Continue reading
What I Watched… (Vol. 7)
It’s been a while since the last What I Watched entry, given the days leading up to the Oscars, the big day and then the fallout since then. Between the last post and this new one, I’ve managed to make it through quite a few movies, so let’s jump into this super-sized seventh volume! The … Continue reading
Oscar Watch 2011: The Big Awards
And so we have arrived with less than 24 hours before Oscar Day, it’s time to unveil the winners for the big categories, you know, acting, directing, best pic. If you’re interested in my selections for the other categories, check ’em out here. All right, enough pandering, let’s get to it. Adapted Screenplay: 127 Hours … Continue reading
What I Watched… (Vol. 6)
This is probably going to be one of the shorter entries considering, A., I watched two complete mini-series and B., my attention and time is geared more towards the Oscars at the moment. That been said, let’s dive into this sixth edition of “What I Watched…” The Pacific – Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks’ companion … Continue reading
Oscar Watch 2011 – The Auxillary Awards
Marty McFly has told me that in a future post, I’ll breakdown the more mainstream categories including Best Picture, Best Actor/Actress and such. So with that in mind, I’ll take this opportunity to rundown the awards categories that nobody really cares about and only watch to see who’s presenting. Visual Effects: “Alice in Wonderland” Ken … Continue reading
What I Watched… (Vol. 5)
Normally, I would have updated this blog on a weekly basis but due to a family emergency and the resulting fallout from that, I had to push back publishing another post for a few weeks. I’m finally ready to get back into the swing of things here, so let’s recap a bunch of movies that … Continue reading
