In my review of Paranormal Activity I mentioned how much I despise the AMC/Lowes theater in town. About a decade or so ago a theater opened here that was part of a small local chain called Ritz Theaters. They specialized in art houses and built this flagship location after years of toiling in the business […]
Saw Up for the second time on Sunday night. Just wanted to say briefly that it’s quite a film. It was extremely impressive in plain old 2D with many vibrant colors. I also found it even more emotional this time around. The jokes were also just as funny. The pre-movie short was also more impressive […]
Just for the heck of it I decided I’d put up my ranking of Pixar‘s films to-date (they’ve done 10 so far): 1. Finding Nemo 2. Toy Story 3. Ratatouille 4. Up 5. Toy Story 2 6. WALL-E 7. The Incredibles 8. Monsters, Inc. 9. A Bug’s Life 10. Cars It’s hard to not put […]
Okay, I’m not sure how this is going to come off especially so close to my other questionable post about Dunkin Donuts but here goes….. Martin Scorsese is set to bring to the screen a biopic of Frank Sinatra. This effort has the full backing of the Sinatra family and, because of that, is supposed […]
Another year, another compilation of the movies I saw over the past year and to crown one as the best film and worst film that I saw all year. 2008’s movies have taken me nearly into February to see the full lot. I didn’t quite get up to last year’s 58 but still managed to […]
I do not believe in DRM (Digital Rights Management) for music or any media. It’s a form of copy protection and I’ve written many times about the issues of copy protection. It protects almost nothing, annoys most everyone (except the pirates) and reduces revenue. Anyone thinking this helps capitalism doesn’t have a clue what they’re […]
On Labor Day I saw Mamma Mia again. This time for a sing-along version. The hilarious part of this was that it seemed quite evident that no one else in the theater was aware that this was a special sing-along version. The fact that all the words to the songs were at the bottom of the screen […]
Every year I see a lot of movies in the theater and this blog seemed like a good place to keep a lasting record of my thoughts on them. Now that the year’s at an end it’s time to compile my list of the best and worst movies of 2007. While not a complete list, it […]
Well, Fandango got back to me about an e-mail I sent regarding the Reservation Rewards scam that I managed to fall into. Turns out that my information was sent to this group by MovieTickets.com and not Fandango. They both use this same service. Of course the e-mail made it out like my issues were no […]
For those who may not know it, Fandango is a company that allows consumers to buy movie tickets online. I’m not exactly sure how many chains use Fandango but the huge AMC/Loews theater in my home town uses them and we’ve used their service fairly often. Some time ago Fandango partnered with another company and […]
My wife was busy with a work function tonight so I decided to make it a boys night out with my 10 year-old son. Friday marked the opening night of Wallace & Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit. My son likes the characters and anything even remotely cartoon-like and I’ve found past snippets of this pair […]
