    Hey Hollywood! Here’s a great idea: LET’S REMAKE EVERYTHING! Every single piece of material ever produced on film or on television needs to be remade.

    Get LOST, BOYS!!

    Thursday, March 13th, 2008

    Most creatures in this world serve some sort of purpose. Some are truly inspirational (like dolphins, or Ghandi), some are ingenious (like spiders, or Madonna), and some even unite others due to their own pure wickedness (like Hitler, or Rosie O’Donnell).

    For once, Hollywood has gotten it right.
    In recent years, movie fans have crawled like hopeful lemmings to their television sets on Oscar night, only to be crushed and broken by a series of bizarre winning choices. Bloggers like Piper over at Lazy Eye Theatre have gone on and on about the many terrible choices among [...]

    A Trailer Ahead Of The Game

    Thursday, February 14th, 2008

    Everyone has spent the day poring over the new trailer for INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL. While I thought the trailer was a whipsmart homage to the feel-good eighties era of moviemaking, something dark and cynical rose up from my aging heart while watching it.
    We’ve been through this before.

    2007 - The Year That Was

    Sunday, January 13th, 2008

    For months many critics have been talking breathlessly about the high quality of films in 2007. “This is the best year for films since 1999,” they exclaim, and they might be right.
    Hollywood Elsewhere posted a cool video compiled by Matt Shapiro of World of KJ that pays tribute to the many fine films of 2007.

    Cinematic Retards

    Monday, January 7th, 2008

    The evil Piper over at Lazy Eye Theater has written this article about what he considers to be Tom Hanks’ terrible performance in Forrest Gump.  Our other dear friend Burbanked chimed in with a slightly approving comment regarding Piper’s blasphemy.
