Bradley Cooper gonna bring home the bacon for me. By that meaning he has a higher chance of winning than the oddsmakers are giving him, so a big payout is coming my way if he pulls it off. Whiplash sneaking some in with editing and screenplay wins hedge the bets. You're welcome.

The second I walked out of Birdman I knew 2 things: I didn't like it, and it would win best picture. But if you're a betting man (which I am) the best money to odds pick is Bradley Cooper to win best actor. The Academy likes him, and most of the guild awards happened before Sniper became a box office juggernaut. And…

Lucas didn't direct Return of the Jedi. The best movie he was involved in was Empire Strikes Back or Raiders of the Lost Ark if we're talking writing/producing credits, but I would say Revenge of the Sith was arguably the best movie he's directed, which was also his last one. Didn't take the balls that made the…

War of the Worlds is incredibly underrated. One of my favorite modern Spielberg films. If it has a fatal flaw, *SPOILER*, when the kid that went on to be in Shameless magically comes back to life at the end. This is most people's problem with Spielberg in a nutshell, the tacked-on sentimentality. But besides that, I…

Well the comment I just made is now rendered useless. Glad I wasn't the only one that thought he was going to hit the big blue.

Am I the only one who thought when Walt walked into the lab he was going to sit down and finally take a hit of his meth, then die? After thinking it I couldn't see them doing anything else, and was disappointed in Walt's non-meth-smoking. Still though, great stuff.

Most of the arguably great horror movies of the last 10 or 15 years have about a 50% on RT. I'm sure something like Texas Chainsaw Massacre would have had about a 15% at the time.

I wholeheartedly agree. This one is destined for cult classic status, and I think will really be appreciated in 10 years or so once the snobs have forgotten about it and are busy arguing over how the Juno remake wasn't as good as the original.
But I got that special feeling of seeing a special movie, which is always…

You are insane.
THE THING. BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA. ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK. ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13. THEY LIVE. HALLOWEEN. PRINCE OF DARKNESS. CHRISTINE. THE FOG.
Carpenter was a master. He just retired into hackdom. Though I still have dim hopes one day he'll return to us with a taste of his former glory.

That's a pretty accurate review of Lords, except the opinion derived from it is wrong. It's about mood, and that's why it's great.

Let me save you time and money. Garden State is, indeed, shit. It's not just that it's a bad movie (it is), it's that it's insulting and infuriating.

That is a perfectly accurate review of Juno.

So you've read a book or seen a documentary about the political killings and child soldiers in the Philippines? Just to pull from Sunday's episode. I'm sure you're more educated than myself and the rest of us, but I was just in the Philippines and didn't really know the extent of this issue, as it seems like something…

Jurassic Park. It's every bit a monster / horror movie, and quite effective at that.

I love Wong Kar Wai but I've been avoiding this movie. I still don't know if I should take the plunge and possibly sour my taste on him…

I would say it's pro-soft-torture. No information came as a direct result of torture in the movie, though the abstract fear of it gets them some nuggets. And so what? Yeah torture sucks, but we were doing it a lot, and I'm sure it got some useful information at some point. Whether it was worth it is another question.

I'll take my artists ego-less, sober, politically correct, white, suburban, Protestant, non-smoking/drinking, monogomous, and American/possibly Canadian please

To be fair Deray stupid as hell tho

Your closest early brush with rap music was Fred Durst, and you decided it wasn't for you?

Ross Shakur was always the smart one
