The site will feature humorous critical posts about movies new and old, updates on my own experiences in the independent film industry, and a "Top 5 ____" list here and there.

3/8/11

Winner: Rango



Wasn't much of a contest as Johnny Depp's Rango easily beat out the competition.

Have to say I am glad this one won, I am intrigued with the way they made it (filming Depp and the other actors, recording their audio performances, and animating over the visuals) and the CG effects looks very impressive as well.

3/2/11

Winner: Hall Pass



Hall Pass won last week's abysmal poll, which is probably good because if history is any indicator Nicolas Cage's Drive Angry might not stay in theaters long enough for me to have seen it. Will be nice to see a comedy, here's hoping it is actually, you know, funny.

2/21/11

Winner: Unknown



Liam Neeson and his psychological thriller barely eked out a win against I Am Number Four, while Big Momma was a no show (thank goodness). Was busy this weekend (will get to that in a later post ^) but I will see it this week, scout's honor!

10/31/10

"Winner": Saw: 3D



No competition this week meant an instant victory for the modern horror franchise. Lets hope the makers stay true to their word and this is indeed the last one.

10/26/10

Winner: Hereafter



Okay, so while I was away, the Clint Eastwood drama completely dominated Paranormal Activity 2 in the weekly poll. Will be heading to see it soon.

10/18/10

Winner: Red



Happily, Red came away the victor in last week's poll. not to say I don't enjoy the highjinks of the Jackass boys, but I am in the mood for some more sophisticated humor.

10/10/10

Winner: My Soul to Take




Well it was pretty close but My Soul to Take came out on top this week. I think it is only available in 3D... ick.

10/4/10

Winner: The Social Network




Somewhat predictably, David Fincher's biopic about Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg easily won this week's poll. The Social Network is being called a "modern day Rashomon" which is good, but they said the same thing about Vantage Point.

9/30/10

Winner: You Again



The comedy You Again Won last week's poll, I'll be heading out to see it tonight.

In other news, reviews for the last four or so weeks are still coming, albeit slowly.

9/18/10

Winner: Easy A



Easy A easily won the weekly poll. I saw it tonight so I will have a review coming soon (as soon as I finish those other ones)

9/12/10

"Winner": Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D



Well, Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D just happened to be the only major release this weekend so it won by default!

Haven't seen any of the other films in the series, but unlike Twilight, I'm not going to bother catching up...

9/8/10

Winner: Machete



Well in the midst of a very busy couple of weeks, Machete won the weekly poll. I will be posting a review on it sometime after I finish the one for Its a Wonderful Life, and for Bachelor Party, and for Takers... methinks I bit off more than I could chew last week...

8/28/10

Winner: Takers



Hmm, not sure if I should call this an upset or not, but I was expecting the other film to win. Never the less, I will view Takers and let you know my take on it (ha).

8/21/10

Winner: The Switch



Well this last poll was a beast but the voters gave a resounding approval to The Switch. I'll be seeing this one later tonight, wish me luck.

8/8/10

Winner: Middle Men



Ok, so Middle Men won the vote which was a pleasant surprise. Unfortunately, the film isn't out in Denver yet (???) so I will have to wait on it, but as soon as I can I will watch it.

7/30/10

Winner: Dinner for Schmucks


Another boring poll led to another underwhelming turnout at the polls this week. Once again, the winning film didn't have much in the way of competition, as Winner: Dinner for Schmucks easily beat Winner: Cats and Dogs and Winner: Charlie St. Cloud.

I will be shooting for the 48 Hour film contest this weekend but I will see the movie as soon as is humanly possible!

7/22/10

Winner: Salt



Poll just closed, and its another landslide. Angelina Jolie and Salt easily beat out Ramona and Beezus with 90% of the votes. So, I will go check it out and let you, my devoted readers, know what I think. The things I do for this blog... (sigh)

7/14/10

Winner: Inception



Well there were a few hours left to vote on the poll but I'm calling it- The Sorcerer's Apprentice didn't put up much of a fight as Inception dominated the poll with 100% of the vote.

Wait that can't be right... let me recheck that... yep, NO ONE voted for The Sorcerer's Apprentice. Ouch.

Words cannot express how much I have been anticipating this film. Stay tuned.

7/8/10

Winner: Despicable Me



For the second week in a row, we had a dominating performance at the polls as Despicable Me ran away from Predators with 76% of the vote.

I'll check this out at the Westminster Promenade at midnight!

6/29/10

Winner: Eclipse



Can't say I am too surprised. Eclipse won handily with 60% of the vote. For those who have been living under a rock in a cave on Mars the last few years, this is the third part of the pale, good-looking, teenaged vampire chronicles (aka Twilight). Love Ranch and The Last Airbender tied with 20% each.

In anticipation of this result I have spent the last two days catching up on the first two films in the series (yes, I am dedicated). No review for the first two but I will say I am not going into tonight with very high expectations. But I will reserve judgment for later.

I'll be going to the midnight screening at Old Town 14 with my girlfriend. Wish me luck.

Oh and for the record, I am on Team Edward.
