Ranking the films of the greatest director of all time. Let’s get to it.   13. Fear and Desire (1953) Kubrick’s first film isn’t really that bad. The camera techniques are very advanced for a debut and the script isn’t terrible either. But, the characters aren’t interesting at all and the acting is bad. I mean IT’S…

What’s up with two deaths of awesome people in the same damn month? WTF? Anyway, Harold Ramis (Egon Spengler) died today at 69. It’s a pretty shocking and saddening loss, considering it’s one of the greatest comedy writers ever. Please keep him in your thoughts, and remember, DON’T CROSS THE STREAMS!

This is a strange idea for a post since I never really do anything involving music, but with such a cool dude like Tom Waits, I felt compelled to do this list. He’s one of my favorite artists to listen to. His signature growl, creative instrumentation, and earthy sound makes him a unique cat. Anyway,…

One the greatest actors of all time, Philip Seymour Hoffman, died earlier today at the age of 46. It is depressing and utterly shocking that he is now gone. RIP Phil.

Hey, guys! I would like to say merry Christmas and happy holidays! I’ve decided to share my current Top 100 in time for Christmas, because I know it’s been in such high demand (that was sarcasm). While a lot of things are the same, more things are different (including the #1 spot). Anyway, without further…

For the second review in the Classics series, I have decided to review a film that is cherished by audiences and critics alike, The Untouchables. However, is this film really a classic? Roger Ebert gave the film 2.5/4 stars and the film’s score on Rotten Tomatoes is 80%. So, is this film worth the praise?…

Hey, guys. I’m going to start a new series called Classics, in which I talk about classic movies and discuss whether they’re classics or if they’re overrated. We’ll start today with Easy Rider. Before we start, I’d just like to say this is entirely subjective. Okay, let’s begin. Easy Rider was released in 1969 and…

I would just like to embrace the everlasting legacy of the greatest film critic of all time, Roger Ebert. Roger died earlier today, due to a resurgence of his cancer. Along with Gene Siskel, these two legendary critics helped reshape film criticism with their show, “At the Movies.” But, I also admire both critics for…

Hey, guys. I just saw Skyfall. Here’s what I think.   This film was really hyped and I was very excited to go see it. For the first 20-30 minutes of the film, it’s really fast paced. Almost like a Bourne film, instead of a Bond film. That was my main problem with the previous…

Since I just finished watching it, I would like to make my top 10 list of my favorite characters in the Wire. So, without further ado, here they are. 10. Scott Templeton Not that he’s a good person (he’s actually the complete opposite), he’s just a really interesting character. He first comes off as an…
