With the arrival of Dolemite, the completion of Coming to America 2, and in celebration of his birthday month, April is dedicated to the best Eddie Murphy characters of all time!!
No longer defined by white hats and spangly shirts, the Western has evolved over the past few decades to include closer representations of the original stories, and a more nuanced definition of a hero. It’s not just the bad guys who wear black anymore.
It’s May, and in the Midwest that means it’s time for the Indianapolis 500. In honor of the big race, I’ll be covering the best car chases in cinema!! This of course means I’ll have to break the cardinal rule of “I don’t watch movies made before I was born,” but there aren’t enough recent entries to fill the list.
The month of April is dedicated to…Die Hard clones. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then John McTiernan should feel pretty good about himself. Movies about a hero being in the wrong place at the wrong time, having to take out an entire squadron of baddies, and eventually saving the day.
Well folks, this one is a doozy. In honor of the Oscars a few nights ago, and the amazing work of Roger Deakins, this month I’m going to cover the seven best Coen Brothers films. I’ve been looking forward to this one for months, because they’ve done some of my all-time favorites, so let’s take a look.
A ranking of the best kung fu fights in cinema, from the Shaw Brothers films to some newer entries…does your favorite make the cut?
It’s funny to me that this list didn’t even have enough entries to make a full seven when I was younger. There’s been an explosion of Batmen in the past few decades, so let’s take a look at who’s best.
I mean, who really knows what to expect in the coming year. Maybe we’ll all get a raise, or maybe the world will be inundated with cheese. Either way, I’m making a promise to myself to be better about documenting it all.
