Last year, as Hollywood Video was closing its doors here in Rochester, MN, I was running around the place grabbing any movie that looked halfway decent… and a bunch that weren’t even that. If you think “Hump Day” sounds hilarious, you’re right: it sounds hilarious. The back of the DVD talks about two guys who …

“Green Lantern” movie review
I am, perhaps, not the person to write this review. I may be the world’s biggest Elongated Man fan, but of the big guys at DC Comics I was a Green Lantern fan going all the way back to his first appearances on Super Friends. Hal Jordan was my hero. He had determination and strong …

Can we see Joihn Wayne’s Alamo restored now around its 50th anniversary?
I never knew that the 50th anniversary of this epic picture has come and gone. I never knew that the celebration was coming and was never in a position to properly celebrate it regardless. Dan Gagliasso writes thus. The other weekend in San Antonio over 600 people gathered for the 50th anniversary re-premiere and celebration …

What Makes Lightning McQueen Run? (Tick? Turn Over?)
Someone cut open Lightning McQueen. This must be one vicious Disney chop shop. Although all told, he does look pretty happy. Click to make big. (Keep in mind that I’m stealing bandwidth here, and pray someone forgives me). Now since Pixar typically packs in a good number of (only necessary) details on how each world …

Review: Toy Story 3 in 3-D
I’m 40 years old this year. “Toy Story” debuted when I was 25, and though I was no longer a kid, that film transported me back to the years when I would let my imagination run wild just like Andy in the movie. Pixar immediately established itself as what the Disney brand used to be: …

Podcast #6: Avatar and More
Erik and I did a pile of podcasts in January, and it’s taking me a while to edit them. However, I couldn’t let Avatar hit shelves without posting Erik’s thoughts on it and several other films (then in theaters, now on DVD). Discussed in this podcast: Avatar and More [ 0.01 MB ] Play Now …

No flying cars, neither.
So I’m watching “Can’t Buy Me Love“. It’s a 1987 movie from when Seth Green was a little punk. In it, Patrick Dempsey plays a 17-year-old geek who arranges for a senior class hottie to date him for a month so that the “In Crowd” will consider him to be one of them. As the …

Podcast #5 is up…and it’s still 2009!
I promised Erik Burnham that I would have all of our older recordings published before the end of 2009… and I have 1/2 hour left to make that promise KEPT. This one’s less than 10 minutes long. Just a brief recording that wasn’t worth throwing out, despite some audio problems, because I relate to Erik …

Podcast #4: Chatting about Movies and Star Trek
This started out as a test of my new equipment to see if the sound quality improved (it did). Unfortunately, you should not get two guys with extensive video store clerking experience chatting about random movies. We talked for about 50 minutes! We learn that Erik pronounces “bio-pic” without the hyphen. I tend to be …

Phantom Menace epic review (or epic fail?)
This one is especially filled with obscenities, so please be doubly-warned before pressing play. But really…if you like funny reviews, you need to see this! It’s hilarious, and yet it makes some hard points…such as: WHO was the main character of the Phantom Menace?

RedLetterMedia’s ST: Nemesis review (hilarious!)
I know I didn’t like Star Trek: Nemesis, but this really helps bring to light that I only thought of half the reasons it sucked.

RedLetterMedia’s Generations Review
I haven’t posted in a while. To make up for it, here are a ton of reviews on YouTube that I found. These are hilarious and insightful, culminating in a wonderful takedown of Phantom Menace. PLEASE NOTE: A lot of these have language that is NSFW. Let’s start with his review of Star Trek: Generations:

A few more thoughts about G.I. Joe
These thoughts regarding G.I. Joe contain spoilers, so I’m hiding them after this break.

REVIEW: Cobra assaults civilization; “G.I. Joe” assaults senses
One of the highlights of the film is a sequence where our heroes pursue terrorists who are threatening to destroy Paris with a W.M.D. Guns blazing, they take out the terrorists but not without many casualties. While Paris and millions are saved, the Eiffel Tower is destroyed and it is a Pyrrhic victory. But enough …

My review of UP
Well, I just came back from seeing it, and to be honest, judging from the first trailer , I didn’t have high expectations. I remember when seein g it originally, I thought, ookay, flying house and an old man, so where’s the story potential? Even the title ‘UP’ sounded lame. I’m just glad to be …

Capsule movie review – Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
It is a sign of a great movie that I love it despite the massive hippie-ness that infests the plot. Star Trek IV is a great movie. If they needed to go back in time to fight Gorn Marines to save San Fransisco hippies to insure the future… it really wouldn’t change the fact that …

Movie Review: Oliver Stone’s “W.”
I just saw Oliver Stone’s biopic of President George W. Bush, “W.” I am a Democrat and proudly liberal. I did not vote for Bush, did not like Bush, did not agree with his worldview, his policies both foreign and domestic, or his actions. I furthermore do not think he was a particularly good President. …

Watchmen: First thoughts review
I’m sure I can put together a lengthier, more thoughtful review when I’ve had time to reflect on it, but this is my initial take after leaving the theater: The special effects are great… …and that about says it all when it comes to Hollywood’s adaptation of a book that is mostly conversations. Spoilers ahead; …

Batman Movies, part 1
Our first podcast, sponsored by TooManyLongboxes.com. Erik Burnham and I discuss the Batman movies from the serials to the Adam West era. This was an experiment and the sound is a bit mediocre. My apologies to Erik that this took over a month to edit and post. The next one, needless to say, will be …
