In answer to Trader X’s question, here are some of my favorite movies. There’s no way I can rank them beyond maybe the first three. Nor could I stop at just twenty so with the help of my historical rankings on NetFlix I’ve gone 40 deep. Depending on my mood, any of [...]

Sounds like the DVD of ‘Ray’ is well worth checking out, even for peeps who saw the movie in the theater:

Too often the “extended editions” of popular films released to DVD seem to contain little more than a few minutes of filler scenes that didn’t work well enough to be included in the theatrical cut, [...]

I just finished watching the ‘film/movies’ episode of ‘Black in the 80s‘. It was an entertaining and informative trip back to the 80s. It made me realize that I need to add some (major) movies to my NetFlix queue that slipped by me. I also have to watch Hollywood Shuffle again! [...]

A friend of mine just recommended ‘The Corporation‘.to me. After seeing the trailer its definitely on my list. Here’s what it’s about:

One hundred and fifty years ago, the corporation was a relatively insignificant entity. Today, it is a vivid, dramatic and pervasive presence in all our lives. Like the Church, the Monarchy and the [...]

‘Fahrenheit 9/11‘ just broke the $100 million mark, setting a new record for a documentary. I just heard a report on CNN’s ‘The Biz’ which said that Michael Moore pointed out that ‘Fahrenheit’ has now made more than any Disney release this year. I wonder how Michael Eisner is feeling about refusing to distribute [...]

Some things never seem to change. Go read Movies ‘Magic Negro’ Saves the Day - but at the Cost of His Soul to see what I mean. (via Monique)

There’s a Tupac documentary due out in November. It’s called Tupac Resurrection: In His Own Words. It looks like it should be a good one based on the trailer.

Gothamist is hating on Halle’s Catwoman suit for the upcoming Catwoman movie. I understand their point when they say “This Catwoman get-up is so in-your-face it’s not sexy.” Sometimes less is more. Or in this case, more (material) is more. But I think the studio is banking on all that skin [...]

Quentin Tarantino doesn’t like all the CGI in movies these days. And I don’t blame him. I can think of several movies that went way overboard with CGI, like the avalanche scene in XXX, or the concept of the Hulk. Though I’m not as hard-core as Quentin, I wouldn’t mind seeing less [...]

I saw a sneak preview of Once Upon a Time in Mexico last night. I was very excited to see this movie because I loved Desperado so much. So I’m very disappointed to say that ‘Once’ was terrible. I really wanted to like this movie but I couldn’t find much to like. [...]
