Wall-E Not Very Subtle
I took my daughter to see Wall-E the other day. I really didn't go in with a lot of expectations since I had barely read many reviews. I kind of…
Watch the Damn Movie
I took Bridget to see Kung Fu Panda yesterday. We had planned to go for a while since it was her first day of summer vacation. I don't mind going…
Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner
Ever since I heard that Kevin Spacey intended to make a movie version of Ben Mezrich's book "Bringing Down the House," I knew I would want to go see it.…
Everybody Love Everybody
With some free time and no child to worry about on a Thursday evening, the movie theater beckoned. The stupidity of "Semi-Pro" delivered. Once again, my wife and I proved…
It Just Doesn’t Matter
I went looking for something good to watch this morning before the second day of the basketball tournament started. I scored big time as "Meatballs" was one on of the…
The 2008 Brians
The glamorous people will gather in Hollywood tonight to pat themselves on the back.
We’ll have a more low-key ceremony here for the sixth edition of The Brians.
Each year’s edition of The Brians brings something special. This year, we have taken the “Best Animated Movie” category from last year and re-named it “The Bridget” because I only get to see certain movies because someone would alert the authorities if I just let my daughter go by herself.
The three movies in that category – “Alvin and the Chipmunks,” “Enchanted,” and “Bee Movie” – will join the more grownup fare of “Superbad,” “The Bourne Ultimatum,” “Dreamgirls,” “Knocked Up,” “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry,” and “The Simpsons Movie.”
Remember, only movies I saw in the theater are eligible in The Brians, which have been Joan Rivers-free since 2003. The envelopes, please:
‘Juno’ Delivers
In the future, I might leave choosing the movie up to my wife. When I scanned the movie ad for the weekend, I didn't even see this listed. Thank goodness…
‘Best of Both Worlds’ Needs Coffee
I can think of a lot of strange ways to spend a Sunday morning, but I think I topped them all last week.
I didn’t intend to get up early and go see the Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus concert movie with Bridget, but I also didn’t expect the movie to sell out multiple shows before I tried to buy tickets.
Yea, I know that’s pretty stupid. I have no idea why I thought I could wait until Saturday morning to buy tickets for a showing that afternoon.
I don’t normally like getting up very early on Sunday mornings and watching a concert movie in a room filled with kids, but the sad look on Bridget’s face made me realize I had no choice.
Alvin!!!!!!!
So Jason Lee might be a wacky Scientologist nutcase, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying "My Name is Earl." And it didn't stop me from loving "Alvin and the…
Enchanted by Enchanted
If I wanted to write a snarky review of Enchanted, I could say that I liked it better the first time when they called it Splash and included John Candy…
