Movie of the Day – The Hunger

April 8, 2013 Leave a comment

I am not going to lie, David Bowie is really the only reason to watch this movie.  I mean I have been on a Bowie kick as of late with most of my trivia hosting comprising of Bowie songs in between rounds, watching the Prestige and even catching the 35mm print of The Man Who Fell To Earth at the Drafthouse.  Also I am really hoping that I win the bidding for the Craig Drake screen print of David Bowie from The Hunger, I mean it’s a fucking gorgeous print.  Take a look!

Movie of the Day – Inframan

March 6, 2013 9 Comments

Oh my god yes!  This is what cinema is for folks.  Movie like Inframan are the reason that I go to the movies, watch untold hours of movies and generally love everything about movies.  Infra-Man is basically something that a 10 year old version of me would make if given the opportunity to take my adolescent ramblings about robots and karate and turn them into a reality.  A completely off the wall action film the likes you have never seen before and I am going to talk a bit about this movie today in preparation for my chance to see it on the big screen next week at the Alamo Drafthouse.  This is the shit folks.

Movie of the Day – The Day After Tomorrow

February 26, 2013 1 Comment

Well the snow storm Rocky came and surprisingly it wasn’t that bad.  I mean yeah my dog gets lost in the snow drifts that are currently sitting in my backyard, but he’s a dog and he liked jumping around in them.  Although snow storm did look cool for the time it was happening, it was made better by my hate watching of The Day After Tomorrow, a movie that is so grandiose and bad, that I actually enjoy the large scale, global destruction cause Roland Emmerich is the fucking Picasso of end of the world movies.  Oh yeah, it’s time for a global scare.

Movie of the Day – The Toxic Avenger

February 19, 2013 Leave a comment

In my last post, I talked about Poultrygeist and how it was going to be part of a double feature with Mr. Lloyd Kaufman at our local Alamo Drafthouse.  As nutty and shit house insane that movie was, the Troma is well versed in the absurd as The Toxic Avenger is the ultimate flagship property and mascot of a company that deals in exploitative schlock.  And this movie also happens to be part of the Double Feature so why not cover it as well.

Movie of the Day – Argo

February 9, 2013 2 Comments

I don’t think that I enjoyed a movie more this past year than Argo.  I realize that is some high praise to give a movie that comes from Ben Affleck and is not a Spielberg, Tarantino or Paul Thomas Anderson movie, but damned if I am not still talking up this movie leading up to the Oscars.  Argo for me, might as well have been the movie of the year in my mind, topping all others with it’s fascinating story, intricate details of one the most successful and bizarre rescue attempts, and a compelling array of performances from phenomenal actors.  You don’t agree?  ARGO GO FUCK YOURSELF!  :-)

Movie of the Day – Air Bud: Golden Receiver

February 3, 2013 1 Comment

Let’s be honest, no one is really doing anything today other than the following three things: Watching the Super Bowl, watching the commercials during the Super Bowl, or watching the Puppy Bowl.  For me, nothing beats watching puppies playing in the annual Animal Planet Puppy Bowl event.  I mean why would anyone want to watch grown, burly men tackle one another, I will never know.  So today is more or less a phone in for today as I will be bartending tonight at the Alamo while we are showing great movies like Hansel and Gretel or that one movie with Stallone or whatever.  I anticipate it will be dead today.

So for today’s post, why not combine both dogs and football.  AIR BUD BITCHES!

Also Air Bud is apparently so damn talented that he can play both Football and Basketball.  Next you are going to tell me that he can play soccer.

Movie of the Day – Push

January 21, 2013 Leave a comment

Does anyone else remember this movie from 2009?  I mean I sure hope this little action, super hero-esque genre film isn’t completely forgotten because of the convoluted premise and wonky script, things that certainly hurt its standing with the critic community.  For me though, Push is a pretty fun little movie about people with kinetic powers basically battling one another to save a particular women who seems to be the key to stopping some big, scary government plot to develop super soldiers out of the kinetic enabled super humans.  Yeah, something that cool sadly got bogged down with plot issues and some lackluster pacing concerns.  Oh well, at least I get to watch Chris Evans basically wreck shit with his mind.

Movie of the Day – For Love of the Game

January 15, 2013 6 Comments

I don’t know about you guys, but I really like it when Kevin Costner stars in sports movies.  It doesn’t matter if it is Golfing, Cycling or Baseball, he just has the right look and feel for being this Joe Sportsman.  Granted he has only been in like 5 sports movies total, each one of them are incredibly touching and memorable in particular way.  I don’t much care for the shoehorned love interest angle that they have to put into the movie, but something about watching him struggle in the game he loves to play just gets the best emotional reaction.  I have already covered American Flyers, Tin Cup and Field of Dreams, so today’s is another underrated baseball movie that also happens to be directed Sam Raimi.  YES that Sam Raimi who made Evil Dead.  Who would have thought he had a touching, sentimental look at a pitcher at an impasse of his career movie in him.
