Kyle’s Top/Bottom 10 of 2011

Wednesday, February 1st, 2012

Hey it’s February 1, 2012.  I guess I should talk about my favorite and least favorite movies from last year.  I wasn’t exactly putting it off, I just needed to see one last movie or two (A Dangerous Method) before I wrote this up.  So I suppose this is the point where I reflect on [...]

BOOM from the Past – Gulliver’s Travels (12/18/10)

Sunday, December 18th, 2011

Exactly one year ago today, I experienced something.  It was something I’d never felt or gone through before.  And the feelings that this experience conjured in me are likely never to be recreated again.  It stands, and will stand, as a truly unique moment in my life.  Because you see, on the morning of December [...]

Things I Hate – Vol. 4

Wednesday, December 7th, 2011

Volume 4 – WHEN SOMETIMES PEOPLE WATCH TV IN MOVIES OR A TV IS SHOWN FOR BARELY ANY REASON AT ALL This happens more often than anyone on Earth will care to admit.  It happens like all the time practically.  Sometimes people watch TV in movies and it’s funny or it serves a purpose.  But [...]

THE LINCOLN LAWYER (2011)

Tuesday, October 11th, 2011

Pretty awesome.  Almost great actually.  The ending gets a little too strung-out and weak, but a supremely solid movie.  It’s not fancy amazing revolutionary blow your mind.  It’s a good story and interesting concept I couldn’t wait to see resolved.  Word up to that.  Unfortunately it’s got those stupid quick zooms like THE OFFICE or [...]

Crazy, Stupid, Love. (2011)

Saturday, July 30th, 2011

Hey so yeah.  I saw this movie and I laughed a lot at it.  And I think the acting is cool and the script and the other stuff, y’now? Some might call this “liking it.”  I don’t know if you want to call it that though so I won’t presume.  I will say this though, [...]

Things I Hate – Vol. 3

Tuesday, March 29th, 2011

Volume 3 – BASEBALL EDITING You know, like when you’re watching The Sandlot or Major League or Field of Dreams or Benchwarmers and someone’s up to bat.  They dig in.  The pitch.  They hit that shit.  Now let’s say for fun’s sake that this batter is a righty and you can clearly see the ball [...]

Kyle’s Top 10 of 2010

Wednesday, January 26th, 2011

Here it is folks.  The moment you’ve all been waiting for.  It’s only about a month late (or 200 yrs in internet time), but I’ve finally finished my Top 10 of 2010.  And overall, I’d have to say that it was an exceptionally weak year for movies.  Invariably when someone says this, some other moron [...]

Kyle’s Bottom 10 of Newly Seen, Non-2010 Movies!

Thursday, January 6th, 2011

What movies NOT from 2010 did I see in 2010 for the first time that were completely not good at all?  Here’s what 10… 10. Unbreakable (2000) Holy crap do I hate the direction in this movie.  Thankfully M. Night wised up and made The Happening. 9. Zandalee (1991) Nic Cage couldn’t even save this [...]

Kyle’s Top 10 of Newly Seen, Non-2010 Movies!

Monday, January 3rd, 2011

Confused?  Okay.  2010 has come and passed and the year-end lists have begun.  But they’re all about 2010 movies.  And that’s boring.  The majority of the movies I watched last year weren’t from 2010.  So it only seems right to recognize some of my favorite movies that are not from 2010, but I saw for [...]

Kyle’s Bottom 10 of 2010

Saturday, January 1st, 2011

Seeing as 2010 has come and passed, it’s about time for the whole end-of-the-year lists thing.  I won’t really get into my overall thoughts on they year quite yet.  I’ll save that for my Top 10 of 2010, which should hopefully come by the end of January (still need to see Somewhere and Blue Valentine [...]
