As usual, distilling the value of a film into a short paragraph and ranking it against every other film ever released in the same genre is imperfect, subjective and quite frankly, irrational — but it sure is fun. So continuing our “TMA’s Greatest” series that began with our TMA’s 25 Greatest Sports Movies of All [...]
2009 proved to be a big year for film, both blockbuster and independent. James Cameron made a triumphant return to the cineplex with “Avatar,” and J.J. Abrams made “Star Trek” cool again, all while indie film festival attendance grew more than ever. With thousands of films released every year, lists like these can’t possibly be [...]
Lists of this nature rarely serve any meaningful purpose. To include a film means that many more will be excluded. And in a decade’s worth of cinema, to make a list of the “best” at the expense of so many deserving films just seems wrong. Especially considering that there is no definitive canon of objectively [...]
Sports and movies have much in common. They make us laugh, cry, shout for joy, and smash things uncontrollably (this only happens at really bad movies). So, it’s only natural that they overlap in their tireless efforts to entertain the world. Thousands of movies depicting every sport imaginable have been made — good, bad, ugly, [...]
2009 has been a relatively good year for film. Action, adventure, comedy, drama, horror, and sci-fi have each been duly and honorably represented. And with the Academy’s recent announcement that the number of Best Picture noms has been increased from five to 10, under-appreciated films from the first half of the year may just have [...]
Besides Brando, perhaps the greatest thing to ever happen to cinema is the advent of the robot. Humanity has been obsessed with idea of sentient beings made of metal and wires either taking over the planet or supplanting the dog as man’s best friend. And so, in honor of these, our would-be rulers, I have [...]
Comic genius, Will Ferrell, has become something of a lightning rod over the past few years. His several gems have been slightly overshadowed by a string of recent sub-par films. But regardless of the overall quality the film, Ferrell’s scenes always seem to hit the right notes. So, I’ve compiled a list of the very [...]
In step with our recent review and podcast about Ron Howard’s latest film, “Angles & Demons,” we decided to devise a list of the best, funniest, and most ridiculous films that involve either angels or demons. #5. Angels in the Outfield (Director’s Cut) A director’s cut for this film doesn’t exist. But it would be [...]
“Fighting,” the hilariously obvious title of the recently released Channing Tatum film got us thinking about other films with a remarkable lack of creativity when it comes to the most important aspect of public recognition. #5. Fighting Ok, so I understand that fighting is pretty much the only thing that happens in this movie, along [...]
Since the “Fast & Furious” folks have tortured us with four impossibly bad incarnations of their despicable macho adrenaline fest, and more sequels are undoubtedly on the horizon, we decided to throw our hat in the ring with ideas for five more movies in the franchise bringing the total to nine and making it a [...]
