2012 was a great year for movies and what’s better is the Academy Awards actually recognized that by nominating several worthy films and spreading the award love to a variety of different films (If you want the complete list of Oscar winners click the link). For the record, I was 18 for 21 on my [...]

When looking back at the films from 2012, I’m happy to report seeing a fairly solid line up. I’m not saying it was the best set of films, as I felt it lacked a certain passion that I prefer to have when rooting for the top tier. Nevertheless, this year’s showing was much stronger than [...]

Every critic with a web, print or radio outlet gives a top ten Christmas film list at some point or another. So I’m doing my duty and taking my turn at the Top Ten Traditionally Watched Christmas Movies. To be clear, these must be films where Christmas is the central theme or setting and one [...]

As an avid reader, I always find it entertaining to see pages come to life in the form of TV or movie; to see someone else’s interpretation of a tale come into fruition. The phrase “the book was better” has always rubbed me the wrong way, because the book will always be better. The characters [...]

I am a huge fan of the international man of mystery known as Bond… James Bond. Growing up in a household where 007 movies played on a semi-regular basis we’d compare notes on what we liked, loved and wanted more of when it came to the British spy and his fancy gadgets. Serious debates would [...]

With the nation’s Presidential Election wrapping up and Steven Spielberg’s LINCOLN soon to be released (not to be confused with last summer’s ABRAHAM LINCOLN VAMPIRE HUNTER), I got to thinking about some of the great President’s in movie history. I have no doubt that Daniel Day Lewis will earn another Oscar nomination for his portrayal [...]

This summer I have been admiring some of the recent superheroes that have graced the silver screen and realized that they don’t hold a candle to my smokin’ hot hubby. Smart, sexy and gifted with the super power of hilariousness, he is the ultimate superhero in my book. That being said, I thought I’d share [...]

The difficult thing about the Academy Awards is that it only lists the top five performances in a category. With such a subjective field as acting, it is inevitable people’s favorite performances will be left off the ballot. I actually liked all the nominees this year with only a couple of undeserving exceptions. These are [...]

The old saying that too much of a good thing is never a good thing is never more true than in Hollywood. But Hollywood is famous for taking a series and beating it to death and then beating it a little more. In some cases, you can never have enough sequels (James Bond, for example), [...]

Not everyone loves the Best Picture winner for the Academy Awards. Myself included. Like many people, my absolute favorite rarely matches up with what is decided as the best and is stuck on the bench of nominees looking in or worse, doesn’t even have the honor of just being nominated. But usually the winner is [...]

10. That’s a lot of nominations! – Nine Best Picture nominations were more than anyone expected. With the new voting system in place, all nine films nominated must have each received a minimum of 5 percent first place votes. This means each of these movies were an Academy member’s favorite film of the year. 9. [...]

2011 has come and gone and admittedly, it was a weak year in movies. Aside from MI4, none of the big budget blockbusters lived up to their potential. And with a few exceptions, none of the dramatic Oscar contenders managed to impress. So with another year behind us, it’s time to look ahead to what [...]

by Brad Sturdivant As 2011 draws to a close, I think we can now safely say that it was a rather rough year at the cinema. As much as I like the movies listed below, there’s nothing this year that stands out as a truly great film. In fact, 2011 is a year full of [...]

By Nathan Swank I firmly believe we have already seen a few of the Oscar contenders this year in TREE OF LIFE, MONEYBALL and THE HELP. However, there are at least ten Oscar picture potentials still to be released. And no matter how much I’m excited for MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: GHOST PROTOCOL or even SHERLOCK HOLMES: [...]

By: Nathan Swank With the excitement surrounding the release of THE MUPPETS, I have taken it upon myself to list my top ten personal favorite Muppet characters. While I’m thrilled to see Jason Segel’s passion in returning the Muppets, I must first thank the brilliant Jim Henson, who created these beloved characters and the amazing [...]

By Brad Sturdivant Full fledged musicals have been popular since the invention of the “talkie”, but we shouldn’t forget that some of the best musical moments in film history have actually occurred in some surprising films. You don’t have to live in a world where everyone sings and dances, sometimes it’s okay to just bust [...]

by Nathan Swank When I was in 8th grade, a girl had her friends ask my friends if I liked her. You can imagine my elated glee upon this news and I swiftly asked her if she would “go with me.” Now this phrase in 8th grade basically means we will talk on the phone [...]

By Nathan Swank Picking Ryan Gosling’s best performance in a film is like choosing your favorite child… It’s always the most recent one. Since Gosling is nothing less than amazing in every film no matter how good or bad the movie is, I’m going to order 10 of his best films by year. By his [...]

By Brad Sturdivant Many aspects of film can be debated, but one area of film that seems to be a source of contention is who the most beautiful actress of all time is. This question can range from the crass to the classy, but before I attempt to settle the age-old debate, I think we [...]

by Brad Sturdivant I’ve been looking forward to this July 4th weekend for quite some time now. No, it’s not because I’m looking forward to eating hotdogs and potato salad with a group of old friends, it’s because the Extended Edition of the LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy hit Blu-ray this past Tuesday and that [...]

By Rebeca Surber It is that time of year when we celebrate everything dad related: BBQ grills, neckties, power tools and you guessed it, movies. My dad has long been described as ‘quite the character’ which prompted me to wonder which iconic father figure in film would my padre represent? Finding it beyond difficult to [...]
