All right, so, now that the remake of Red Dawn has been released, I feel like it’s time to offer up what everyone’s been wanting. Pretty much all the traffic to our blog over the past week has been people wanting to know some spoilers about the remake and how […]
Hitchcock is delightful and quirky with darker elements lurking in the corner.
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rQuRLERl6A?feature=player_detailpage&w=640&h=360] IMDB Link First and foremost, if you’re looking for a film that explains how Hitchcock directed Psycho or focuses on Psycho, then this is not it.

You’re Probably About To Revoke Any and All of My Credibility But I Really Did Enjoy the Selection
I did not go into this book intending to like it. In fact, I think that I was judging it a bit unfairly before I even began and I approached it harshly when I first started reading it. I regret that now. I regret not letting myself just enjoy the […]
An Adventure to Find the Last Twinkie

I don’t know how many fans of the original Red Dawn (1984) there are reading this so if you haven’t seen it before believe me when I tell you that there are few more epic movies from the 1980s than this anti-communist action movie.

Skyfall is not an “action packed” movie, but it is an awesome espionage film.
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kw1UVovByw] It doesn’t lack explosions, but Skyfall is not a classic action movie. You can’t sit there, slurping your drink, waiting for people to fight and shoot at each other. Growing with the modern age, James Bond is a heavily developed character relying heavier on his own personality and skills rather than […]

Never before have I been sucked in to something quite like I was […]
