My Popcorn is Stale #5: Raiders of a Lost Art
I first saw the Indiana Jones films when I was about 12 or 13. The second one scared the crap out of me, and to this day I refuse to rewatch it. The third was okay, but the one that stuck with me was Raiders of the Lost Ark. Pretty much every frame in the film is extremely iconic, from the opening shot of the Paramount logo fading into a real mountain, to the old … Read entire article »

My Popcorn Is Stale #4: Harry Potter and the Chamber of DOOM! (Part II)
Click here to read part I. Well… we seem to have gotten through the bumpy ride through the first four movies. Now we journey into much smoother and more consistent territory.

My English teacher had a few copies of each book, and made a waiting … Read entire article »

In 2001, on the heals of his successful Thumb shorts, Steve Oedekerk made an equal parts terrible and wonderful little movie called “Kung Pow: Enter the Fist”. When I first saw ads for it, I cringed and said “No thanks”. Then I caught Thumb Wars on UPN and reconsidered my interest when I found out it was same guy. The Thumb shorts, for those who don’t remember, were a series of half-hour parodies of popular … Read entire article »

My Popcorn Is Stale: Stop Throwing Things At Me!
I remember seeing Chicken Little on the big screen back in 2005 at a theater chosen to be part of the first wave of Disney’s master plan to spread digital 3-D across America. Before the movie, as the screen flashed “Put your glasses on now”, some guy behind me muttered “This better be good.” Well.. the movie itself wasn’t very good. I, as well as the audience, was wowed by the awesome power of … Read entire article »
