Here, I will honor and exalt (and sometimes shit upon) those movies that were released in the months of June, July, and August: the real reason why movie studios exist. Sure, they might try and make you think that it’s all about those films that get limited released right at the end of the year, but we all know that it ain’t the Oscar that brings in the Benjamins.

Why the Star Wars Special Editions Suck

So George Lucas finally bit the bullet and decided to release the original STAR WARS trilogy on DVD. That’s fantastic, no? I mean, finally, after years of waiting, we can finally have digital, pristine, unfading copies of the original three movies that captured our hearts over twenty years ago. Everything is peachy and birds are singing and the world just became a better place, right?…

M. Night Shyalaman movies will forever be ruined for me. But I can blame nobody for this other than the man himself. Because, as I mentioned earlier in my VILLAGE review, people go to his films just to see the “twist”…

Ever since I first had heard of an Alien / Predator crossover in the comics over a decade ago, I swore to myself that I would see a movie version if it were to ever come out. And so opening weekend, I wasn’t missing ALIEN VS. PREDATOR…

While watching SAVED!, I couldn’t help but be reminded of an incident from over a decade ago. I was a freshman in College, and was putting around the streets of downtown Atlanta in between classes. I ran into a girl I went to high school with, who had a friend in tow…

I didn’t like FAHRENHEIT 9/11. Now, I know that you’ve already got your hate e-mail composed and ready to go, prepared to call me a “neoconservative” or some other ridiculous term that you probably can’t define, but listen up for a second…

I’ve heard a lot of critics giving NAPOLEON DYNAMITE a hard time, but those people need to lighten up. NAPOLEON DYNAMITE is a good movie. It’s a good movie for many reasons, but the main reason why the film rules so much is because it takes place in Idaho…
