Wet Hot American Summer (the movie) and Addams Family Values. It's a summer camp double feature! Maybe I'll throw on Joe Dante's Piranha later, because it's the only other movie I own that spends a significant amount of time at a summer camp. And also because it is terrific!

I found EFC middling to enjoyable until season 5, which was dreadful. By season 3, Andromeda was borderline unwatchable at times. I think the main problem was that the show was at war with itself, and it showed. There were still some writers around from when the series developer was in charge, and they were still…

I never watch beyond the eighth season of The X-Files, or the ninth season of the Simpsons. I've actually become more lenient over the years, it used to be seasons 7 and 8 respectively. And I hardcore refuse to watch any episode of Andromeda after my namesake gets turned into a low-rent Xena ripoff. Not that I am…

It's either the nostalgia or the holiday spirit of it all that makes me temporarily forget how unlikable I find Chevy Chase while I am watching Christmas Vacation. The rest of the series (and the rest of his career)… ehhh.

I saw the Brendan Fraser "George of the Jungle" movie when I was 9 and to this day when I think of Tarzan it's all I can think of. Not sure if that's a good thing or not.

But that was all in keeping with the style of its day, which was more theatrical in nature than what we're used to today. I agree if one compares it to what we expect in a modern movie, you can find cheese aplenty in any movie of that era. I just think it's silly to look at it that way, because of course so much about…

I would disagree, I think "Them" holds up among the best of its era, for what it sets out to accomplish it's produced very well and remains an immensely entertaining film that is only cheesy if one takes the entirety of its era as cheesy by default, which is not an attitude I subscribe to. It's a well made monster…

Independence Day wishes it was half as entertaining as the least of those movies. And "Them" is a goddamn masterpiece.

Considering how big they made Godzilla for the last movie, they could still do a King Kong vs. Godzilla that was just Godzilla stepping on King Kong and calling it a day. That's what I'm hoping for, actually.

I prefer my Killer Klowns to be From Outer Space.

I like it. I've always found it underrated, and I love certain parts, such as the "Area 52" sequence, where Joe Dante manages to squeeze in references to This Island Earth, The Man From Planet X, Fiend Without a Face, Robot Monster and Doctor Who all in about 20 seconds. And he managed, once again, to work in cameos…

Joe Dante. His love of classic horror and sci-fi, as well as a healthy affection with the Looney Tunes gang and their brand of slapstick-fueled anarchy, shines through in pretty much everything he's directed and it really speaks to me, since I have pretty much the exact same cinematic loves. I've rarely felt like I've…

I watched the Scream series growing up because my friends were into it. But other than the original Psycho, if it counts, I've never been one for "slasher" horror, so it really wasn't ever meant for me. I *loved* The Faculty though, because Invasion of the Body Snatchers (in its oh-so many incarnations) is right up my…

It just feels wrong to have a new Independence Day movie without a new Mars Attacks coming to theaters six months later to unintentionally lampoon most of Roland Emmerich's ultra serious plot points while making 1/10th the amount of money.

I like Mark Ruffalo. *shrugs*

I am aware. The fact that it will also apparently star the Hulk gives me some hope that it will be more entertaining than the last two. But there's the distinct possibility I won't get around to watching it anyway.

I like the character, but I think she works best as part of the ensemble. Same goes for Wolverine, which is why I'm not that excited about the prospect of his next solo film either. Really, I could do without a lot of these super hero solo films. Did the world really need *Thor* to headline not one, but two of his own…

The first X-Men movie was the first "comic book" *anything* that I really got into. I wasn't big on superheroes as a child, some of my friends were huge fans of Batman or Spider-Man and I just couldn't have cared less. I went to X-Men honestly not knowing it was based on anything in particular (I somehow had managed…

I had a great time at X-Men, even though it isn't half the movie that the last two were. I knew as soon as they announced it was going to be about Apocalypse that it was going to be a weak link. The guy's just too damned goofy looking. And about a hundred times goofier in the comics, so I'm no loyalist there. I am…

It's not popular to say, but I enjoyed the Dark Shadows movie. There are some fine performances, it's visually gorgeous without being garish like Alice in Wonderland and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory were, and I sort of dug its weird collision of gothic monster stuff and 70s kitsch. It's the only Tim Burton movie…
