What is up with the Courier Journal, have they hired a new movie critic? Perhaps someone younger with a taste for pop culture and lacking the belief that every movie has to have a social conscious or be a dramatic production of world significance?

You're sitting in a theatre, or maybe at home, and see a preview for a movie that you're not sure about. It could be good, it could be funny, it could be great, but you just don't know. Few if any of your friends go see it. Then it comes out on video.
And it becomes a huge hit.
In honor of these occasions, I give to you m ... more
We were eating breakfast at a little diner near our home this morning when a news story on their TV caught my attention. They were discussing the possibly doctored photos of a 22 year old girl's ass showing cellulite. I didn't hear which star/actress/pop icon they were discussing and I really don't care. They attempted to l ... more
Most of us have heard the tales about how people stopped showering after watching, “Psycho,” or that “Jaws,” gave a reason for not going near the water. In the spirit of films influencing people and pop culture, here is my list of contemporary films that have done just that.
Scarface (1983) – This Brian DePalma film was p ... more

Seeing as yesterday I released the list of Marvel's production slate, it was only fair to devote today to D.C. Sad to say, D.C. is not fairing so well.

Can I get some points for double-entendre?
With the release of “Iron Man,” (the first film solely financed by Marvel) having grossed over $100 million in the first weekend, the question comes: what's next? It seems that Marvel is planning on tying all of their movies together, with the coupe de grace being an “Avengers” mo ... more
As I always promise...no spoilers. I hate when somebody ruins a surprise or spoils the ending. You can never unknow something.
This afternoon we went to see Iron Man (2hr 6min - Rated PG-13 ). It isn't often a comic book hero movie gets 3 1/2 stars. It is a good movie...even hilarious in places. The theater was packed and ... more
