JNR was fantastic, but I’ll be honest, The Vibe is what turned me into an R&B addict. Rainy night set to “Have You Ever Loved Somebody” is perfection to the point that I put it at the top of my personal night driving playlist.

GTA IV’s soundtrack is perfect, just for a different setting. There’s nothing like driving around at night as Marvin Gaye’s Inner City Blues comes on.

I think that Townsend is one of those directors who stumbled with an early film and never really recovered. I have a mental rule that if a director can get through their first three movies with success they can generally recover from a bad movie. Even Shyamalan, by some miracle, managed to pull it off after a 10+ year…

As someone who rewatched the movie a couple of weeks ago that particular moment is still hilarious. I can’t help but give it points for being such a well-intentioned movie.

I’ll be honest Meteor Man seriously helped to normalize the idea of black superheroes for me when I was a kid. It’s one of those movies that I can’t help but love, warts and all. As cheesy as it is, I think the scene of uniting the gangs and police actually works and its the kind of thing I would love to see in a…

I know he’s in rough shape, but part of me thinks Fraser would be perfect for that Six Million (Billion?) Dollar Man movie we hear about every five years. I know that Fraser has acting chops beyond his action movie days, but it’d still be cool to get one more movie like that out of him.

Obligatory.

Yeah, I started that trilogy with Jackson as one of my cinematic heroes (even with King Kong, whose greatest crime is simply being an hour too long). By the time I was done with the special features I was reaffirmed that he was worth having as a hero. He’s just a guy who wants to make movies and entertain people, but…

It’s also because the gamer guys who spent so long being outcast feel like they should have had “their moment” after everyone started gaming. They wanted a moment in which the world turned, looked at them, and said “By Jove! You’ve been right this whole time, pasty faced gamer! Gaming is indeed wonderful! A thousand…

Oh, I’m not talking about the overall quality of the movie. I’m saying more specifically that Snyder’s movie would have been predictably bad in a way that made it easy to ignore. The extra dimension of having another director come in and finish a movie is usually a recipe for the movie to be a trainwreck because of…

What? Andy Samberg-lite isn’t enough character for the Flash?

I agree. Snyder’s movie would have simply been a dud and nothing more. But (allegedly) getting rid of Snyder and tacking on Whedon’s incompatible style turned the movie into a train wreck.

Yeah, the Middle-Earth movies have always had excellent special features (especially in the extended cuts). I was amazed that WB let Jackson get away with essentially saying “Yeah, on the Hobbit movies we were given no pre-production time to get the story or much of anything right after Del Toro left.” I mean, I know…

Someone’s going to make one hell of a documentary about this movie one day.

Unpopular Opinion: If we must have more X-Files let it be with new characters or even a reboot. The X-Files is the kind of show that thrives on its formula. Let’s be real: nobody gave a damn about Mulder’s abducted sister being an overarching story with a real payoff, let alone the impending invasion. The X-Files…

I’ll be honest, knowing full well how bad most of his movies are, I have nothing but love, respect, and admiration for Albert Pyun. He has been consistently screwed over and forced into compromises throughout his career (usually because the studios he’ll work with don’t actually have the money they need to make…

I’ll be honest, my introduction to jazz was through smooth jazz, an often contentious sub-genre and somehow in the sea of that sub-genre I still couldn’t stand Kenny G. (who I think now admits that he doesn’t do Jazz but Instrumental Pop). I will say I wish people wouldn’t dunk on smooth jazz as much as they do. It’s…

But Lambert has that...something that makes him watchable.
