Today’s entry is presented through some of my favorite clips and quotes from Dumb & Dumber. Sometimes, when I tell people that Dumb and Dumber is one of my favorite movies, they just sort of look at me in confused silence… It’s a dumb Jim Carrey movie from the 1990’s with almost no plot, they…
This is an entry in the Pokemon Movies Retrospective Movie #6: Jirachi – Wish Maker “Jirachi will only be awake for the seven days the Millennium Comet is visible. To protect itself during this time, they say it selects a kindhearted young boy to be its partner.” – Butler (Japanese dub) Jirachi – Wish Maker, 「七夜の願い星 ジラーチ」(lit.…
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a very funny movie. I don’t think that is heavily disputed by too many people. Humor is also very, very subjective. I personally think Forgetting Sarah Marshall is an absolutely HILARIOUS movie. I love how quotable it is. Some hilarious movies (I’m thinking of Superbad right now) have great joke-packed scripts,…
I’m in the camp that Frozen is entertaining if a tad overrated. People are coming out of the woodwork to support the movie, which won two Academy Awards, two Annies, and a slew of other awards. I’ve seen it twice now, once in theater and once in our living room, and I quite enjoy it……
This is an entry in the Pokemon Movies Retrospective Movie #5: Pokemon Heroes – Latios & Latias “If the Soul Dew should be used for evil, its power will be tainted, and the Soul Dew will disappear along with the island.” – Legend of the Soul Dew (Japanese Dub) Pokemon Heroes – Latios & Latias, 「水の都の護神 ラティアスとラティオス」(lit.…
5. Dawn of the Dead (George Romero, 1978) “When there’s no more room in Hell, the dead will walk the Earth.” Back before the zombie genre exploded in poularity circa 2004 (with the release of 28 Days Later, Shawn of the Dead, and Zack Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead remake), George Romero was the undisputed king of the…
Sigh. Some of our four loyal readers may be all Oscar‘d-out, but after that atrocity exhibition of a telecast last night, I just can’t sit idly by while it goes largely accepted. As I’ve chronicled, I love (the idea of) the Oscars, which is why it irritates me so much that we can’t get the…
It’s almost unreal how good animated movies have been the past ten years. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that some individual years have had a better slate of animated movies than entire previous decades have. It’s almost an embarrassment of riches. So where have these films come from? A variety of places. Some…
I’m a bigger fan of the Academy Awards than anyone else I know. That’s not all on my end—I don’t view the Oscars as some flawless representation of entertainment or anything. No, I make that statement in part because the Oscars—coming up this Sunday night—are one of the easiest punchlines in the world. No one, it…
So I’ve spent the last ten minutes staring at a blank screen trying to decide what I could possibly contribute to anyone’s life by writing about the eight Harry Potter movies. This is the highest-grossing series of all time based on the best-selling book series of all time, an iconic pop culture franchise of ultra-scrutinized…
