So it is a few months late, but here goes my picks for the best movies last year. Now, these are in no particular order, and making a mental list I am already well passed five. Celeste and Jesse Forever Loved everything about this movie, just a simple and meaningful story.  Who can't relate to being a mess, and trying to get it together? ARGO Though not the most historically accurate

Thought this was a very beautiful, thoughtful story.  Sean Penn by no great surprise is just fantastic.

I thought it was very funny. For all the movies that claim to be the best comedy of the year, this one is certainly winning.

It has happened to all of us.  That tragic, tragic day when your favorite show gets canceled, it is never an easy loss, but sometimes it is far before its time and never really given a chance at all which makes it that much harder to say good bye.  So here are my Top 5 shows given the boot far too soon.  It was a hard one to narrow down, as pretty much any show I like is

I find it baffling that the powers that be in the movie and televsion biz don't understand the concept "too much of a good thing". We all know that the best characters in a movie is usually the zany wacky off the wall character.  That doesn't mean we want to see more of them though, the reason that they are so good is that they don't over stay their welcome.  With "Get Him to the Greek"

Probably the most impressive movie I have ever seen considering the non existent budget.

The rumor mill has started again on the casting of the next Batman movie. With a array of great villains to cast, it looks like the Riddler is going to be our next villain. Like the Joker, he has a bad rep. Most people remember his portrayal from the campy Batman series of the 60's, or the laughable Jim Carrey. We all know if there's anyone that can give back Edward Nigma's balls, it's Chris

I think I may have already found my favorite movie of the year.  "Cemetery Junction" is the latest collaboration between Steve Merchant and Ricky Gervais, and possibly the best comedic pairing since Laurel and Hardy.  This venture veers somewhat from the norm of what we usually see from them as "Cemetery Junction" is quite heartwarming. The premise is not a complex one.  Set in

Ed Burns is like a talented Woody Allen, but no one sees either of their movies.

Harry Brown has gotten US distribution and will be in theaters for everyone in the states to enjoy on April 30th.  Mark it on your calendars, you won't be sorry.... unless you want to watch a romantic comedy.  In that case you will be very disappointed.

The Losers, which was released this weekend, though based on the graphic novel of the same name is basically a rehash of the A Team.  CIA black ops agents get double crossed by flamboyant bad guy and they go renegade to clear their names.   Not by any means a ground breaking concept and not by any means executed in a ground breaking manner, but I did enjoy it.  It was fun and

So here is my list of the best movies that no one, or mostly no one bothered to see last year.  I will come off as a bit of an Anglophile in it cause it is a bit British heavy, but what can I say, I think they just make better films.  Also, it should be noted that Pirate Radio is not on the list simply because I think we have sung its praises enough on this blog. 5. Fantastic

Looks like it might be good, right? Well you would be very, very wrong. I had really high hopes for this film with it being John Krasinski's directing debut, and even adapting the screenplay from David Foster Wallace's book of the same title. Alas, hoping something will be good and it actually being good are two very different things as this movie proves. The premise, if you can actually put one

With Captain America searching for its leading man, I thought we could take some time to divulge in some fantasy casting, Batman style. Below are my top 5 picks for the next batman movie villains. 5. Harley Quinn: Although Joker is dead, this villain is likely never to see the light of the silver screen. Missed opportunity. 4. Hush: Family friend of the Wayne's, one of the few

Pick of the week: Carriers If you like end of the world stories, where the tension lies in really nothing happening, you'll love Carriers.

Playing off of Leah's recent pick of the week, I've decided to compile my top 5 reasons to see Pirate Radio, or for you British readers, The Boat That Rocked. Which, really, is a much better title but that's neither here nor there. I will also say that five things are as un-spoiler-ish as possible as I'm looking to design the list to get you to see the film and not to have to not to need to see

Seriously, why are so many pairings in movies and T.V. shows featuring pudgy, mediocre to not attractive at all men with super hot chicks?!  Why in the movie industry are men allowed to look however they please , but even the women they are paired with have to spend 2 hours a day at the gym.   Lets do some real casting people.  If you have a half witted, fat, balding man, he is not

It's been many years since I've read the original novel by Oscar Wilde. My memory is fuzzy on some of the details, so I will stick to just reviewing this work of film. First off, the casting was superb. I want to dislike Colin Firth, I try with all my being, but I just can't do it. He's too good. He plays Henry Wotton, the Lord that takes Dorian under his wing, and shows him the way of the
