Finale: Second Breakfast’s Top 100 Films of the Decade (So Far)

Yeah, not with a fizzle. Well, we’ll see about that. This is my final post as Second Breakfast, a blog I’ve been writing since October 2012. I’ve published every Sunday since then (I even once published from JFK airport). I think, having done that, I have achieved what I wanted to when I started. Without…

March Madness Round 13, Semifinal: ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ vs. ‘The Martian’

Well, that’s what we’d call a decisive victory. Ex Machina stormed ahead to the semifinal, defeating Kingsman: The Secret Service with a whopping 93% of the vote. Hot damn. Before it faces It Follows in a few days, we have our first semifinal: Mad Max: Fury Road vs. The Martian. This is where the voting…

March Madness Round 11: ‘Straight Outta Compton’ vs. ‘The Martian’

So, It Follows, rather appropriately has continued to advance upon the final at an unwavering, consistent pace, although the internal logic of that film raises some interesting questions about the relationship between Silvester Stallone and Vin Diesel. Moving on… Straight Outta Compton vs. The Martian. Will NWA rise to international stardom? Will Matt Damon make…

March Madness Round 4: ‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’ vs. ‘Crimson Peak’

That concludes Round 3. The Hateful Eight ended in a predictable bloodbath with no survivors, but Matt Damon at least survived another few days on Mars. We’ll have to wait to see if he actually gets rescued, though. Today’s poll pits Kingsman: The Secret Service against Crimson Peak. Need a refresher on either film? Click…

March Madness Round 3: ‘The Hateful Eight’ vs. ‘The Martian’

Over the month of March, we’re allowing our readers, such as they are, to vote in a championship-style bracket to determine the best film of 2015. Well, Round 2 is over, and although they could defeat an endless army of killer robots, the Avengers couldn’t hold back a single boxer and his grizzled mentor. Next,…

Second Breakfast’s Top 10 Films of 2015

Last year I struggled to make a top ten list because I had a hard time picking ten movies I actually liked. With the exception of a few irreplaceable gems, 2014 sucked. I had difficulty yet again compiling such a list, but this time because too many good movies came out in 2015. 2015 was…

Second Breakfast: ‘Suffragette’ Is Fine.

Well, Halloween’s come and gone, which means it is, yet again, Oscar season. If we’re counting The Martian, then this year’s Oscar season is already off to a much better start than last year’s notably terrible one. I can’t say I have particularly high hopes for most of the likely contenders yet to hit theaters,…
