6 Movies to Watch on Certain Days of the Year

Posted in Lists, Movies, tagged , , on February 14, 2012| 1 Comment »

Some movies revolve around a significant date that lends itself to propelling the story or adding a layer of complexity. Whether it be holidays or regular days of the year, there’s a lot of appeal in saving a day of the year to watch a specific movie. In this case, I have five days and five corresponding movies. I personally try my hardest to watch these five movies during the year. The movies below all use the specific dates and I recommend you make it a tradition to do the same.

[UPDATE]: How stupid of me to forget V for Vendetta on November 5th. Recently added.

5 Books I Want to Start and Finish in 2012

Posted in Lists, Movies, tagged , , , , , , , , on February 7, 2012| 2 Comments »

As I finish up the Great Gatsby in preparations for Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation starring the awesome Leonardo DeCaprio, there are a couple of other books I want to start and finish for potential movies or general interest.  I’m not a humungous reader because I honestly don’t have the time, but if the story is good enough, I’ll easily forsake school work to finish it up, like for what I did for the Millennium Trilogy.  Anyways, here’s the 5 books I have so far queued for 2012.

4 Hobbies You’ll Want to Pick Up After Watching Certain Movies

Posted in Lists, Movies, tagged , , , , , , , on February 6, 2012| 1 Comment »

Have you ever finished a movie and by the end, you’ve been motivated to try something that the movie greatly expanded on?  On several occasions, I’ve sat with my friends as the credits roll, and we’ve talked about how we could totally do what they did and reap the benefits of what the characters achieved on the screen.  Unfortunately, like most things, it’s far easier said than done.  Here’s 4 examples of me saying, ‘that could be us’ only to have me fall on my face.

10 More Amazing Monologues in Movies

A couple of months ago, I posted an article containing a couple of awesome monologue scenes.  I used the term monologue to describe a part when an actor usually has a lot of lines to say without anyone interrupting or stealing his thunder.  While the list I created was good, I picked up a couple more from my readers as well as a couple of other sources.  Here, I’ve compiled their respective Youtube videos that can be seen below.

10 Chick-Flicks/Rom-Coms I’m Not Ashamed to Love Out Loud

Posted in Lists, Movies, tagged , , , , , , , on January 26, 2012| 4 Comments »

Obviously there’s a lot of trash lying around in the entertainment industry also known as the romantic comedy.  What’s Your Number, The Bounty Hunter, most Katherine Heigl movies, etc.  These movies are specifically catered to the female demographic and the unfortunate souls they bring along with them to the movie theater or the viewing couch.  As a fairly metrosexual man myself, even I have limits as to what trash I will sit through.  Sometimes when I have conversations with women about movies, they’ll start listing movies such as these as their favorites and I have to force myself to not roll my eyes, but sometimes it’s just too much.  After shaking my head in disdain and slapping them on the hand for their poor taste, I’ll turn the conversation around on them by telling them these 10 movies that I consider rom-coms and chick flicks that won’t make your head explode from how bad they are.

My 10 Favorite Movie Characters of the Year

Posted in Lists, Movies, tagged , , , , , , , on January 13, 2012| 6 Comments »

One would believe that this post was inspired by the recent popularity of my Tuesday post, 10 Favorite TV Characters of the Year, but in reality, both of these posts were written back to back and I just simply queued this one for a later date.  And especially as the ‘new year’ escapes us, I wanted to publish as many of these, ‘wrap up 2011’ posts as quickly as possible.  So please don’t fry my buns and deem this post as a selfish attempt to get more views.  But even if you never thought that in the first place, let’s get on with the show.

As I searched through 2011 movies, I’m rather disappointed in the relative lack of new characters.  Another heavy year of sequels and remakes, it was difficult finding 10 worthy characters that truly inspired and put goosebumps in my skin.  Out of these 10, I believe only about 6-7 truly deserve any praise, but I chose 10 to give some benefit of the doubt.  Only unfortunately, I haven’t seen EVERY movie in 2011, especially the tons of December releases, but I made it about as clear cut as I could.  Here’s the list below.

My 10 Favorite TV Characters of the Year

Posted in Lists, Television, tagged , , , , , , on January 10, 2012| 145 Comments »

2011 had a lot of good television.  One thing that makes the television good is the likable/badass/hilarious characters that we’ve come to love, hate, or even love to hate.  Whether it be new or old, we had some of the most powerful performances this year and it’s quite difficult to rank them all.  And with each show having at least 5 main characters, choosing 10 characters from the best shows on air was rather difficult.    What made this even harder was that I had to balance the 2010-2011 midseason line ups with 2011 fall tv line ups, but ultimately everything eventually fell into place as I realized clearly who was better than the other.  Hit the jump to view the rest.

Best of Funny Or Die

Posted in Lists, Movies, Television, tagged , , , , , on November 22, 2011| 1 Comment »

Funny Or Die is a website created and partially maintained by Will Ferrell, Adam McKay and their production company.  It serves as a site very similar to CollegeHumor, that serves as an entertainment website for its readers.  On occasion CollegeHumor has featured celebrities that contribute to its already popular library.  But the up that Funny Or Die has is that it even more frequently utilizes A-listers to make videos that are absolutely hysterical with the 1st class production value.  So I’ve compiled some of my favorite videos from Funny or Die below.   I’m sure long after this post is done, they will continue to pump out more and more videos.  Most of these videos are un-embeddable, so most likely, you’ll have to jump over to Youtube to actually watch them.  Rergardless, enjoy below.

7 Mainstream Chinese Movies You Should See If You Haven’t Already

Posted in Lists, Movies, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on November 17, 2011| 5 Comments »

If you’re into foreign films, then you’ve probably stumbled upon a plethora of Chinese movies that are essential for calling yourself a movie buff.  But if you’re not into foreign films then you’ve probably never have heard of any of the movies that are on this list.  When you saw ‘Chinese Movies’ in the title, you likely probably thought, Jackie Chan, Kung Fu, and subtitles.  As stereotypical as it is, most of the movies on this list are memorable for those things.  But instead of ignorantly typecasting these movies as “foreign blubbering, sword chucking, Jackie Chan flicks”, think of these movies as films with their own heart, story, and characters.  You’ll be pleasantly surprised and will even consider some of these flicks better than some of the crap Hollywood produces today.

5 Awesome Monologues in Movies

Posted in Lists, Movies, tagged , , , , , , , , , on November 16, 2011| 3 Comments »

Even while writing this article, I became confused in whether this would focus on war speeches or just characters talking for a long time.  Then I decided that I could instead do both.  I’ll have an article right now for great monologues, which is defined a speech from one character speaking their thoughts aloud, and I’ll have a separate one for great wartime speeches for another day.  So in the movies you’ll see below, you won’t find the empowering words of William Wallace or Theoden, King of Rohan, but the long speeches that are particularly mesmerizing in their substance and delivery.  This is a very broad topic, so I’d imagine the choices I made could be considered lousy, and that there are more suitable ones.  That’s your job, to find them and prove me wrong.

Director Filmography Ranked: Martin Scorsese

Posted in Lists, Movies, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on November 15, 2011| Leave a Comment »

Martin Scorsese is widely regarded as one of the best directors in the industry today.  You don’t need to be a film buff to enjoy most of his work, but if you are, you can appreciate it all the more.  He has a large resume of impressive movies ranging from Goodfellas to Gangs of New York.  He’s directed some of the most mesmerizing performances from Robert DeNiro and Leonardo DiCaprio.  The last Director Filmography Ranked I did was for Christopher Nolan, and like him, it’s incredibly difficult to place one movie in front of another.  So I eventually had to base it more off of what I’d rewatch over and over again.  Hit the jump for the [very flawed and biased] ranking of the 8 Martin Scorsese movies I’ve seen so far.  Be sure to recommend to me any ones I missed.  I’ve particularly heard Casino is very good.
