Going to the movies

We’re crossing the parking lot and up ahead, two gentlemen in their 70s or 80s are approaching the ticket window. We slow down, half out of respect, half because it means less Army and Sprite commercials to watch inside.
It’s our third movie in a movie theater that we’ve seen in 14 months. Fiona is wonderful [...]

Cars

Thoughts from seeing Cars today (only the second time I’ve gone to the movies since Fiona was born — she was in daycare):
- Oh my god, the Ratatouille preview was awesome. Is that the sweet sound of PATTON OSWALT DOING COMEDY?! I can’t wait for Patton’s big film.
- The One Man Band short is mildly [...]


AVIs worth downloading

I’ve enjoyed a bunch of movies/shows in the past couple weeks and figured I might as well share. I like to watch a lot of documentaries and I like small films that never play where I live that I have to remember to catch up with later.
I love watching behind-the-scenes movies on the craft of [...]


. for Ossie

For me, Ossie Davis was a highlight of every Spike Lee film, and every film he appeared in for that matter, so I’m sad to see him go. I can’t imagine Ruby Dee without Ossie — are there any other marriages between actors that exceeded 56 years? Doubtful.


Oscar baby

Thanks to various situations where I was stuck in an airplane, hotel room, or at the end of a sold-out movie ticket line, I seen four of the worst movies in recent memory. Mr. 3000, Shark Tale, Fat Albert, and Taxi were good representitives of all the complaints people have about stupid movies with a [...]


Incredibles

I finally got to see The Incredibles last night and it was absolutely fantastic. If you’ve seen it, click through for more, if not, I’d say stop reading at this point and go see it.


Blogumentary published. Now rebuilding.

Chuck’s long awaited Blogumentary had its premiere last weekend, and he’s collecting donations to offset the cost of the movie. I kicked in enough to get the free mystery gift.


Every great movie ends with an awards ceremony

After four tries, I finally got to see Return of the King today. It seems living in a small town of 30k people that only has one cineplex showing the movie on a single screen makes for many sold out shows.
The showing I caught was turned up really loud and at several points I was [...]


Gettin’ the Led out

I crapped on School of Rock when I saw the first trailer for it, but lately I’ve heard one postive review after another. Apparently it could have been the crappy film everyone’s seen a thousand times before, but Linklater pulled it out and let Jack Black run with it.
I just got back from seeing [...]

The Animatrix

The Animatrix finally came out on DVD on Tuesday and it also became available on Directv as a pay-per-view movie. I paid the $3.99 and Tivo’d it last night, which is faster than waiting for Amazon to deliver a DVD. I’ve seen two or three of the preview versions on the Animatrix site, but the [...]
