Four Christmases
There's a certain je ne sais quoi I find myself noticing every time I watch a new Danny Boyle-directed film. Many directors have trademark qualities that even a novice film geek could pick up on, from Quentin Tarantino's rapid-fire pop culture-inflected dialogue to Martin Scorcese's Rolling ...

Do you know anyone that's just so cheery and bouncy all the time that you just want to smack them in the face? Someone that seems so glad to be alive that you could swear that they molest puppies at night? Well, meet Poppy. She's the embodiment of that person. Nothing gets her down and, ...

I've seen the trailer for Doubt a lot lately. Looks good, but whatever. I keep noticing the following scene, where Meryl Streep's EVIL NUN FROM HELL shows how cruel she is by removing an instrument of fun (or something) from a student's head. To wit: Looks at first like an iPod, right? ...

Congrats to Wendymoon for getting GoldenEye , though I think she inadvertently sent THN into a deep, spiraling depression. This one...is really easy...if you just think about it for a bit. That's all I'll say for now. Standings: Jason/Daniel - 3 Evan Derrick - 2 Jason Soto - 2 ...

"Fezzik, are there spoilers ahead?" "If there are, we'll all be dead!" (Perhaps that isn't the best warning. Then again, there were rocks ahead, and neither Fezzik nor Inigo died. Anyway, on to the review.) Role Models is the kind of movie that I want to hate. I really do. Before it's five ...

That alphabet thingy has brought a bit of a spike in visitors lately, and though they (you?) are most likely reading that particular post and that one only, I thought now might be a good time to tell you a little bit about myself....things that are just off the beaten (movie) path. Also, I've ...

In no special order, here are all of
the people that took part (to date) in The
Alphabet Meme (that have linked back to BC). A big, big thanks to all that played, and even more to all that tagged and kept the game going. To all you movie blogs that ...

Headed for a long weekend in Dallas on Friday to spend some time with some friends. Will return Monday to Phoenix and to Blogland on Tuesday (most likely) with overdue reviews of Happy-Go-Lucky and Role Models . In the meantime, enjoy this brief TGITDNMAR, made even briefer by the scheduling ...

Have you managed to escape the destructive path of Hurricane Elizabeth? If you've been to the movies at all in the past 6 months, or are planning to anytime soon, probably not. Just this year, I've seen her in Definitely, Maybe, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, W., and Role Models . Thankfully, ...

Robert DeNiro heads a game cast including Sean Penn and Bruce Willis playing alternate versions of themselves in Barry Levinson's latest satire. DeNiro plays Ben, a producer constantly battling to climb the literally slippery Hollywood power slope. He's juggling his priorities between a ...

Call them what you want - character actors, "That Guy(s)," scene stealers - I don't care. This is a regular feature where I spotlight one performer, whether they be longtime veterans like J.K. Simmons or Barry Corbin, or a fresher face just making their way up the stardom ranks. For previous ...

It's that time again for TGITDNMAR, which (obviously) stands for Thank God It's The Day New Movies Are Released. Can you feel the magic of the holiday season upon us? I can't. Soul Men Tell me I'm not the only one that's been waiting two decades for the triumphant return of C. Thomas ...

As I'm sure all of you do, I try not to let the feelings of others influence the way that I feel about a film. I also attempt - though rarely succeed - to go into a film experience without prejudice. As an unpaid film reviewer, that's essentially an impossible task, since you're paying and you ...

Justin pulled out the last one , nailing the pretty-obscure Ten 'til Noon , which was released last year (and reviewed in this space). This time, after some semi-complaints that I've gone too hard on you, I've taken it easy. Don't get it too quickly, Cabin dwellers... ...

This is awfully similar to the Top 50

more about you. Besides, I thought this was a fun idea that could spread like wildfire. Also, I've had it in my drafts for some time now and I wanted to post it ...
