For the first time in forever, we rented a few movies. We had some time over the holidays, so I used a gift card I got for my birthday and picked a pair up at Blockbuster. We had want to see The Ex (which has somehow been re-titled “Fast Track) when it came out in […]
Like all good Americans, I have harbored homicidal thoughts about Jerry Seinfeld over the past few weeks as he constantly reminded us that his film “Bee Movie” was coming to theaters. The ad campaign turned into one giant “Seinfeld” skit. “Did ya hear about “Bee Movie?” I hear there’s a movie about bees coming out. […]
I didn’t find out until recently that there were plans for a second Harold & Kumar movie. I found out today that not only are there plans, but they have finished filming and a trailer has already been released. People really need to make sure I get this kind of information sooner. The original Harold […]
We finally got a chance to go see “Superbad” last night. As big fans of the immature comedy genre, we pretty much went in with high expectations. We were not let down. First, can I say that I am so glad that the R-rated comedy has firmly entrenched itself on the American movie landscape again? […]
A little more than a week ago in a dark movie theatre, I realized what I want to be when I grow up. I want to be Jason Bourne. Well, not completely. I could do without having to kill people. That would be bad. And I don’t want people chasing me all over the place […]

So Elton John has decried the Internet as destroying society, suggesting that the Web should be shut down for five years (as if there’s a headquarters that can simply pull the plug) because “(t)he Internet has stopped people from going out and being with each other, creating stuff.” First off, the Internet has created so […]
My wife and I actually got to see two movies last weekend. That doubled our total for the year in a span of 18 hours. These two flicks will join “Dreamgirls” and “Knocked Up” and anything else we see before the year is done in the race for The Brians next year. I Now Pronounce […]
We all need something to take our mind of Britney and Anna Nicole. Thank goodness the time has come for The Brians. This marks the fifth year I have given awards for the best new movies which I saw in the theater during the preceeding year. In 2006, I had to bend the rules and […]
Do you know how some years, film experts talk about the lack of good candidates for The Oscars? Well, it’s that kind of year for The Brians, now celebrating their fourth year. Actually, the quality of the films eligible remains very high. The number of films, not so much. In fact, I have had to […]
