theloudestvoice: “The Library of Congress on Wednesday announced…25 films chosen to be included this year in the National Film Registry. The oldest reels are silent films both from 1912. “The Cry of the Children” is about the pre-World War I child labor reform movement and “A Cure for Pokeritis” features the industry’s earliest comic superstar John Bunny.

Return Of The Jedi: The Review
Anybody who knows me well also knows that my favorite Star Wars film is the Empire Strikes back. I consider it to be one of the best science fiction films ever made (my complete list extends to Blade Runner, Alien, and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, but we’ll leave those for another day). Something never sat right for me in Jedi, and it has always been difficult to articulate what it is...

Mr. Plinkett Has A New Review! →
Well done Mr. Plinkett. I can’t think of a better way to enjoy this holiday. Well … maybe a few other ways … Regardless, RedLetterMedia has another great analysis of a critically panned film. Makes you wonder what the filmmakers were thinking sometimes … - Furstie

Speed Kicks Ass (The Film, Not Cocaine)
So I’m having some beer and watching Speed, with Keanu Reeves. I’ve come to a conclusion. This movie kicks ass. It has everything I’ve ever wanted out of an action movie. Everything that is dumb is forgivable and everything that is awesome is super awesome. While this may sound vague, don’t worry, I’ll be glad to elaborate. Keanu Reeves services both roles as action...

Fox continues to jerk us around. P R O M E T H E U...
So today Fox released something that shocked and astounded the world. Never before have I seen something as self-fulfilling as their trailer, for the trailer, of Prometheus. Now, I have a lot of faith in this movie. Lot’s of people are pumped, as they should be. And yes, it is true that there is a huge movement on the interwebs for this damned trailer to come out. But would Fox be arrogantly...

Ulterior Motive
Where the hell have I been for a while? I don’t know. I had finals and dropped off the face of the Earth. It tends happen to me under periods of heightened stress. I’m not pouring out my feelings, I assure you. I’m happily content with griping about film and music. I’m not sure how I feel at the moment though, and I need to vent it somewhere. As Ron Burgundy would say,...

Fox claims that Prometheus is "Not an Alien...
According to Fox CEO Tom Rothman (who will henceforth be dubbed “captain bullshit”), Ridley Scott’s upcoming science fiction film, PROMETHEUS, is “not a prequel”. Here is the direct quotation from the captain. “I suppose if you want to definitionally be that literal, but it does it a great disservice. I will tell you, here’s the way to think about it. If you...

Why We Need a Khan
So this afternoon while I was having a brew, I started thinking about why Star Trek (2009) just didn’t click on every level for me. It had action. It had neat Star Trek looking stuff. It even had a plot that wasn’t completely asinine. However, as my roommate struck me with a hefty box of Chinese food, a thought also struck me. Kirk needs a villain who can match him in wits, regardless...
