Well, the Oscars are coming up in a couple days. I’ll get my picks and predictions and whatnot posted Sunday morning and then try to do some sort of real-time reaction thing like I tried doing with the Emmys a while back… In the meantime I figured I’d chime in with what I actually thought … Continue reading →

Jaws (1975) — From everything I’ve heard about it, the filming of this movie was tough. However that seems to have made the movie better. To say what a bunch of other people have said before, building the shark up as an unseen threat makes it so much more suspenseful. Plus it makes it better … Continue reading →

Paul (2011) — So the first thing to get out of the way is you need to manage your expectations. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost were the stars (and in Pegg’s case co-writer) of two of the very best movies of the 2000s: Shaun of the Dead & Hot Fuzz. Expecting Paul to be on … Continue reading →

Piranha 3-D (2010) — I outright loved this stupid fucking movie. And it is stupid. Oh so stupid. But that’s mostly what I love about it. It’s all about gore and nudity. Mostly female nudity but for those who prefer the fellas there is a penis… it’s just not attached to anyone when it’s shown. … Continue reading →

Piranha (1978) — This movie is a hard-boiled crime saga about the ruthless mobsters Doug and Dinsdale Piranha… nah, just fucking with ya. It’s about killer fish (geek props if you got the Monty Python reference). Conceived as a blatant Jaws rip-off the film forgoes the suspense and atmosphere of Spielberg’s film for the delightfully … Continue reading →
