Okay so here is how I did this: I went down a list of all the movies released in the past decade and wrote down the ones that I really liked a lot. Not the ones that I liked okay or that I found a bit amusing but really liked. Then I realized that the [...]

Patrick’s 10 Least Favorite Movies of 2009

31. December 2009

As good of a year as 2009 was it had its fair share of stinkers. There were a lot of movies out that looked terrible but that I didn’t see, like Bride Wars or Confessions of a Shopaholic, but there were plenty I did for reasons I can’t really explain. Some were movies I thought [...]

2009 turned out to be a great year for movies. In the past I have struggled to put together a top 10 list of movies I thought were truly great. This year it was difficult to choose just 10. There are a lot of movies that I would have liked to mention because I really [...]

Before we get to this I have to issue a disclaimer/warning. The following article will feature spoilers of major plot points in the Twilight Series and will do so with a level of contempt previously unheard of outside of the average review for a Michael Bay film. If you don’t want to have things [...]

It doesn’t happen very often, but once in a while you come across something that is so genuinely good and wonderful and completely above mockery that it must be shared.  Perhaps you have already seen it.  But, if not, enjoy!  It’s almost as much fun as kittens jumping into boxes.
I actually got a little verklempt.
If this [...]

See scientists, this is why nobody likes you. It’s not that you’re too smart for us, it’s because you make things like this:
Thanks goes out to Marc Chung for atleast getting us introduced to the bringers of end-times.
With Terminator Salvation release looming this Summer and these spider-robots being produced, I really have to wonder if [...]

Critics Pan Steve Martin’s Second Raping of Peter Sellers’ Corpse

13. February 2009

0 Comments

There should be a new rule in Hollywood:  no remaking comedies!
And they should call it The Steve Martin Rule. I’m going to write a screenplay for a remake of The Jerk, and I will try to make as grotesquely bad as Martin’s The Pink Panther revisits.
When I saw the remake of the classic 1967 comedy [...]

Grandmaster Phoenix or How To Throw Your Career and Integrity Away in One Swift Motion

Far be it from me to disparage someone’s dream. We all have dreams. One of mine is to somehow be financially solvent after two divorces and a devastated job market. Another is to make that money doing something I love instead of doing something I hate like retail, food, or putting up with assholes with [...]

Nobody Raped Your Childhood, Loser

Before there was an internet, you REALLY had to want your media news. If you wanted to know what the newest box office reports were, you had to really dig or watch hours of E! or Entertainment Tonight. You had to have your Entertainment Weekly and Variety subscriptions. You had to do the work to [...]

Step Brothers – Con te Partiro as Sung by Andrea Bocelli (Not Will Ferrell)

12. December 2008

7 Comments

So I watched Step Brothers the other night, overall, a very meh movie. Some parts are pretty damn funny “classic” Ferrell, but most of the movie is ultra-dry line delivery that seems to have become Ferrell’s norm recently (unfortunately) — the kind of lines where you can’t tell if you are watching something funny, or [...]
