Okay, I know. This isn't a post about movies! Well, you're right. But television programming and presentation has advanced so far in the last decade, or so, that much of it is cinematic in nature. Also, it's my site and I can do what I want. So, these are my Eleven Favorite Television Characters of all-time. As... Continue Reading →
My Top Five Favorite Comedies Okay, so the headline is slightly misleading. Wait, come back! Only "slightly"! While I often enjoy comedies, I really only have three "favorite" comedies, and then a bunch of others that I enjoy on various levels. But nobody is going to click on a Top Three list. And I really... Continue Reading →
2016 is flying by and here we are, with just three months left. Sometimes, after the huge summer films have come and gone, it feels like there's nothing left to look forward to. But never fear! Here's a list of the ten films, both big and small, hitting theaters from October through December - in order... Continue Reading →
Suicide Squad is now up to a $635 million worldwide haul on a reported $175 million budget. Without question, that's a financial success (unless we possibly take into account marketing costs). But as I saw the movie for a second time over the weekend, more and more issues jumped out at me. This column is... Continue Reading →
The weekend of August 19-21, 2016, was a very telling one at the domestic box office. Going into its third weekend, Suicide Squad had performed very strongly over the course of its first week, before plunging over 67% when comparing its first and second weekend grosses.

And here we are, a couple of days before Suicide Squad is being released and people everywhere are freaking out. The reviews from professional critics are dropping and they aren't looking too kind. As of... Continue Reading →
Here we are with the final mini-list of the week: my Top Five Favorite Films of the first half of 2016. (Don't miss Part 1, 2, 3, or 4!) Keep in mind that there's a distinction between "favorite" and "best". These are my favorites. I guess you can think of these as the ones I'm... Continue Reading →
Welcome to Part 4 of the 50/50 mini-list series! Don't miss Part 1, Part 2, or Part 3! Generally speaking, going to the movies is supposed to be fun. And nothing is more fun than when a movie sucks you in to the point that your heartrate actually elevates, your breathing speeds up (or stops... Continue Reading →
This is the second installment of the 50/50 series, celebrating the halfway point of the Movie March to 100. Don't miss part 1! Probably the best moviegoing experience one can have is sitting down in a theater with little to no expectations and then proceeding to have an outstanding experience. Maybe the reviews were bad. Or... Continue Reading →
This is the first of five Top Five lists for this week. Each day, Monday through Friday, will see a new 50/50 column covering the first half (50 down, 50 to go) of my March to 100. Well . . . the first 49, I suppose. But 49/51 doesn't have the same ring. If Thursday night's number... Continue Reading →
