Wishing You A Merry Christmas
I won’t lie. It’s been a pretty awful day. I’m sick; I’d like to thank whoever infected me with this sore throat/coughing malaise that’s turned me into a walking petri dish of viruses and general grossness. I managed to burn the hell out of my thumb and had a ...

#1488: The Spongebob Squarepants Movie
Oh, come on, whoever nominated this! This movie isn’t awful! It’s cute. Have a heart! It’s pretty much just the story of Spongebob and his starfish friend Patrick saving Mr. Krabs from Plankton, the evil little sea creature who wants to rule the world, but it’s ...

The Four Things Meme
I was tagged by J.D. , so I guess I have to do this, huh? FOUR JOBS YOU’VE HAD IN YOUR LIFE Waitress; hostess; video store clerk; cashier. I thankfully do none of those jobs currently. FOUR MOVIES YOU COULD WATCH OVER AND OVER AGAIN The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, Hot Fuzz, Speed, ...

This and That, You Know
So, with the Thanksgiving holidays and everything, my Netflix shipments have been backed up. This is actually pretty good, because it’s been giving my brain a break from all those awful, awful movies I’ve been watching (I feel a little fried, I can’t lie), so tonight ...

#1487: Worst Movies Ever - Win A Date With Tad Hamilton
Piggly Wiggly checkout girl Rosalee is Tad Hamilton’s biggest fan, much to the delight of her best friend Cathy, who is equally Hamilton-obsessed, and much to the irritation of her best friend/boss Pete, who can’t stand Tad. When Rosalee enters and wins a contest called ...

#1486: Worst Movies Ever - High School Musical
High School Musical isn’t actually bad. That’s not to say that it’s entirely good, either. The main problem with High School Musical is that it is so completely bland. Every character is like a overly simplified stereotype. The music is instantly forgettable and ...

#1485: Worst Movies Ever - Manos: Hands of Fate
There is a problem with your movie if the title translates to “Hands: Hands of Fate”. Confession: I had to cheat just a little bit on this one. Netflix doesn’t offer the regular version of Manos: The Hands of Fate , so I had to “settle” for the Mystery ...

#1484: Twilight
There’s not much more I can say about Twilight . The best part of the movie for me personally was people-watching. Twilight fandom is about as fan-wanky as you can get, and our audience clearly aimed to please. The girl next to me in line, for example, uttered this finery right ...

Entertain Me, Yo!
Oh my god, y’all. I have been waiting in the world’s most boring line for Twilight and I am surrounded by some hardcore fangirls. Please send a hug and some Stoli my way, dearests. All I can say is that this line is more epic than my line for The Dark Knight and that I fear the ...

I’m Only Mostly Dead
So…I’m partially alive, I promise. Real life events have been crazy here at 1,416 and Counting headquarters! And I’m still trying to fully process Manos: Hands of Fate …because…well…I think it might have lowered my IQ about eighty-five points. (I only ...

#1483: Worst Movies Ever - The Wicker Man Remake
It’s hard for me to hate on Nic Cage. Seriously, I have a lot of love for the man. I think it stems from the fact that Cage wasn’t going to settle for a merely mediocre film career; goddammit, if he was going to be bad, he was going to be the worst of the very worst. He would ...

#1482: Worst Movies Ever - Ax ‘Em
I present to you the IMDB summary for reasons that will become clearer later: A weekend retreat at a remote cabin in the woods for a group of childhood pals turns into a terrifying fight for survival, as a former friend whose family was killed years earlier comes along looking for revenge.  ...

#1481: Worst Movies Ever - Grizzly Rage
Okay. Normally I can find some measure of sympathy in my heart for even the worst movie. Oftentimes I find myself weighing the sadly few pros to the vast amount of cons, looking for good in even the worst piles of steaming crap. There is but one, solitary pro to the ocean of cons in ...

#1480: Worst Movies Ever - Camp Slaughter
I am a sick puppy or something because I find Camp Slaughter not horrifically bad, actually. Then again, this could just be from viewing Midnight Skater before this. Hmph. Okay, it’s your standard Z-list, straight-to-DVD horror flick. It’s got the normal rough edges and ...

#1479: Worst Movies Ever - Midnight Skater
In junior high school, I used to be forced into going to this ridiculous mandatory sex-ed assemblies, which were light on the education and heavy on the “sex kills”, if you know what I mean. I used to have to hear all kinds of horror stories about the inherent dangers of sex and ...

Welcome to the Hot Old Men Club, Dylan Moran
Oddly enough, Tsunami Bomb’s “Irish Boys Stink” just popped up on my Winamp shuffle. Huh. Please be in more Hollywood movies, Mr. Moran. Please . Funny guys = very cute. I give the jury Exhibit A.

The Alphabet Meme
So, I got tagged by Fletch at Blog Cabins for this meme - and the rules are pretty explanatory, so let’s just get crackin’, eh? The Rules 1. Pick one film to represent each letter of the alphabet. 2. The letter “A” and ...
In Appreciation of Finland: We Should Probably All Go See Sauna
Finland’s a pretty cool country. It’s the home of Santa Claus (no! REALLY !) and guys like Teemu Selanne . Finland first popped up on my radar mainly because my favorite hockey team was jokingly nicknamed “Helsinki South” for the staggering amount of Finns on the ...

Happy Election Day
For once, I’m making a non-movie related post. For us Americans, it’s election day! If you’re American and registered to vote, I beg of you to go vote. Since I’m a bit of a political geek, I figured I’d leave an open post to get y’all’s feedback on the ...
