Mini Melts?

The problem is that the Razzies aren't a funny joke and the jokes in their nominees would be the kind of joke in a film nominated for a Razzie. It's the low hanging fruit and a sort of inverse Golden Globes, targeting big names (both in films and people) rather than by actual quality. There's a much needed place in…

The Last Jedi is the kind of name that sounds like it should be closing out a trilogy. Then again, that might just make parallels to the original trilogy a bit too on the nose.

Played a couple narrative focused games in The Beginner's Guide and That Dragon, Cancer and I'm a bit ashamed that neither really connected with me. The former's walking simulator format while tolerable in when it is used in the quick "rounds" or whatever of The Stanley Parable got tedious even over the maybe hour…

Oh goody, another list of films I can work on completing (I've only seen 114 of them http://www.imdb.com/list/ls…. I always appreciate a weird movie that does so naturally as opposed to the experimental cinema which seems to shoot for being weird intentionally. Weird is a fairly arbitrary term but I do think that…

Rise Of The Lycans is the only one that can be described as decent largely because it eschews Beckinsale and Wiseman in favor of an emphasis on the always extremely watchable Sheen and Nighy. Awakening can barely be called a film at all (maybe a holding pattern is a more apt term) and the other two are just kind of…

Because the youth who play football are probably not necessarily correlated with the youth whose parents can afford insurance for them.

I'm still a bit surprised there has never been an adaptation of Boy/Going Solo yet. Not that biopics are usually that interesting but Dahl does good work with those books.

"So Ben, do you really like having sex with women in uncomfortable places?"

Gymkata is a work of art and it always delights me when it shows up on TCM. Not quite as hilarious was Heavenly Bodies, the film they paired it with last weekend, but I still enjoyed it's almost parodic level of 80's genericness combined with the silly dancercize.

Recently emerged from an extensive binge on Stardew Valley in what may be my most extended and extensive run on a game in a couple years. It's just so simple and addictive (just one more day…) and easy to zone out and shut my brain down on. Probably need to counterbalance all that farming and peace though with some…

I've long had my dream of Portishead being handed a Bond theme, but they could do a great job with a full score as well (I'm thinking neo-noir).

Considering they already collaborated with John Murphy on the great score for Sunshine, your wish already has partially come true.

Spider-Man is like a door knob, everyone gets a turn.

The Committee To Project Journalists also does important work in keeping trebuchet producers in business.

Predators was a second attempt at making a 2nd film in the series so if anything this is a third attempt at making a proper sequel to the first one (I quite liked Predators though in spite of Topher Grace).

Nope unless you count festival premieres. I really had higher hopes for Don't Breathe considering the reviews and the Evil Dead redo but it was far too predictable and suspense free with a cast full of unlikable assholes.

Kevin Can Wait is certainly no Kevin From Work.

Hush seemed to come out of nowhere when it popped up on Netflix especially considering it comes from a director of some renown and turned out to be one of the best movies of the year.
