Buy Or Don’t Buy

Okay, okay! I get it. There will be movies made based off childhood games. I’m tired of hating and complaining about this losing battle. Candyland is a land of imagination and tasty treats, a happy Hansel and Gretel! Monopoly… borderline boring, but not if it’s a Blade Runner-esque picture!
So now it’s Risk. RISK? I couldn’t [...]

What is up with this trend to take toys from yesteryear and make them into some hollywood travesty?
First it was Transformers, then GI Joe, and Candy Land and Where’s Waldo is in the mix, but now the clinch pin of childhood toys and memories: LEGOs!
Legos was the only toy that both my brother and I [...]

Remember Bridget Jones’s Diary? It was about some 30-something chubster approaching life as a teenager. Trying to figure out boys by writing in her diary.

1. Arrested Development
2. Veronica Mars
Let’s start with Arrested Development.
If you haven’t seen the show, then [...]

Around this time every year, fantastic films are shown in mainstream theaters nationwide. The violent and explosive blockbusters are put to the side as Oscar-worthy films are projected on the big screen. So what happened this year? Am I missing something?
What’s out there?
The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button? Too long of an effort-full epic drama. [...]

Find me one person who said they didn’t enjoy Ghostbusters. Everyone loved that movie. Me and you included, if my logic is correct.
On the same line of reasoning as why I am taking a don’t buy stance (as of now) on Ghostbusters 3, (rumors that Seth Rogan will be starring) I am all for the [...]

Sitting through Pineapple Express by myself wasn’t my first solo-movie going experience, nor was it even the first time I realized that I enjoy venturing to [...]
