I like Christmas movies. We have our favorites that we watch every year, but I'm always on a quest to find any unseen gems. After watching Silent Night Bloody Night last night, I think I'm still must continue my quest. Here's the story. There's this guy. He's selling this old house for super cheap because he doesn't want to worry about it anymore after he inherits it from his grandfather, but when he sends his old, ugly lawyer over there (with young, hot girlfriend in tow), it sets off a string Read more [...]

I watched this movie in about 12 parts, but still really enjoyed it. Every time I started it up again, it seemed like I knew exactly where I left off. Very much like reading a novel, I guess. There were lots of famous actors involved in this film, but I think my favorite was Anthony Hopkins, and my least was Gene Hackman.

I like movies, and it's not that I don't trust the recommendations, it might just be that by the time I've heard about it for the second or third time, I feel like I've already seen it. Let me give you a little bit:Guy: Have you seen this movie, Jiro Dreams of Sushi? Me: No.Guy: It's about this guy...Me: I'm guessing Read more [...]

First off, thanks to the good folks at Cinematic Attic for allowing me to post here. I'm sure it will be the beginning of a long and fruitful, er... should be fun... well, um... discussions will be had, I'm sure.I had two movie reviews sitting in my back pocket, which I'll write up in the next few days, but something just came to me which is seemingly much more pressing. Hopefully everyone here has heard that Peter Jackson filmed The Hobbit not only in 3D, but also at 48 Frames Per Second. No doubt, Read more [...]
