So this upcoming Sunday will be the Academy Awards.  Unfortunately this week we were unable to get together and record our usual podcast.  We were planning on revealing our predictions for the awards.  So here are our predictions for the awards in written form for you to enjoy. (more…)

Film has always wanted to capture the future.  So why not give into the pessimists view that the world is going to end (as soon as tomorrow) sometimes because it just is, or because we’ve been horrible to it.  So here are my Top Ten End of the World Films. (more…)

So with the recent release of Micheal Cera’s newest film Youth in Revolt that has him playing two roles (Nick Twisp and Francois Dillinger) it’s time we spoke about how great split personalities can be in film. (more…)

In this week’s Top Ten list I plan on letting you in on my personal Top Ten Films that pick me up when I’m feeling down, or sick.  The topic came from non other than Dave from Screengeeks.com as I threw out suggestions for topics for today’s Top Ten (not sure what to theme it around), so thanks to Dave you can all feel happier by checking out any of these films: (more…)

This week, with the release of Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes let’s take a look at the world of Detective films. (more…)

Here I am again to anger fanboys and let you know what my WORST FILMS OF 2009 are.

It has been a long year and after many strong drinks I have done my darndest to try and forget these movies.  Alast no matter how many times I rewatch Inglorious Basterds, District 9 or (500)Days of Summer I can’t seem to get these movies out of my head. You ask what these vile things are that would make anyone contemplate suicide… well: (more…)
