Second Breakfast: “Wow, I’ve Never Seen a ‘Cinderella’ Like This Before”

Disney is currently in the no doubt arduous process of remaking all of their classic princess movies as live action films, apparently shot for shot. No matter how many letters I write to Disney World politely asking for an explanation, they won’t respond. The only possible explanation for this, and for their secrecy, is that…

March Madness Round 15, The Final: ‘Selma’ vs. ‘The Lego Movie’

Well, folks, the results are in. Though the competition was fierce, The Lego Movie defeated The Grand Budapest Hotel by, get this, a single vote. So anyone out there who really really loved Budapest but was too lazy to vote and just assumed it would win, let the record now show that your votes counts…

March Madness Round 14, Semifinal: ‘The Lego Movie’ vs. ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel’

Well, that was unexpected, wasn’t it? Underdog-of-the-year Selma has proceeded to the final round after back-to-back victories against Interstellar and Guardians of the Galaxy, you know, two of the most successful and popular movies of 2014. Kudos to Selma for that one. The question remains as we move on to our last semifinal: who will…

March Madness Round 12: ‘Edge of Tomorrow’ vs. ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel’

Well, how about that? Selma defeated Interstellar in the quarterfinal, securing a slot in the semifinal against Guardians of the Galaxy. I wonder who’s gonna win that. You’ll have a chance to vote for that in a couple days, but first let’s determine the winner of our last quarterfinal to see who will face off against The Lego Movie for…

Second Breakfast: The Surprisingly Likable and Deep ‘Odd Thomas’

IMDb reckons about 9400 movies came out in 2014. By my count, under 100 of them might be worth seeing. The fact of the matter remains that people make bad movies. People make a lot of bad movies. In fact, most of what you run into out there in the great wide world of cinema…

March Madness Round 11: ‘Interstellar’ vs. ‘Selma’

Perhaps to nobody’s great surprise, The Lego Movie beat out John Wick, securing a spot in the semifinals to face off against either Edge of Tomorrow or The Grand Budapest Hotel. Should be an interesting final four, at any rate. Will miss you, John Wick, you fought valiantly and shot a bunch of dudes, but…
