Apparently I have an affection for the seventies, but I think they got it right in the fear department.  The ability to overuse special effects wasn't an issue, and good solid psychologically disturbing stories were the way they had to go.  And it's because of these horrific stories, these films have stood the test of time and abuse of technology.  The reliance on it is evident in the recent years lacking on this list, with of course, exception to 28 ... Continue Reading

10. Schindlers List What can I say?  Steven Speilberg knows how to make films about war.  This black and white tale leaves you time to focus on nothing but the story.  Oskar Schindler opens a factory in occupied Poland and employs Jewish workers as cheap labour. On good terms with German officers, his motive is to simply make a profit. Gradually, he is moved by the plight of the Jewish population and he uses his position to save hundreds of Jews ... Continue Reading

This list was comprised by reader contributions as we are keeping the peoples choice portion alive, but also my personal Top Ten Battle Scenes of all time.  Not to be confused with Top Ten Fight Scenes (coming soon though along with Chase Scenes) this is about Epic Battles in one form or another.  It could be massive armies or one versus one hundred, but either way there is some form of Epic destruction and sacrifice involved.  This one was a ... Continue Reading

Since I posted the Top Ten "Chick Flicks" Guys Like, it's gotten a hefty response on Movie Mobsters but also on Top Ten Top Ten, a site that I contribute some of Movie Mobsters Top Ten lists to.  In response to that list and by suggestion I have created the Top Ten "Guy Movies" Chicks Like.  The criteria I used for this was nothing in depth, just a series of films that seem like movies the male gender would be ... Continue Reading

Candyland..........The Movie???????? No.  This is not a farce.  A trick to get you to come visit my website and discover all the other cool stuff I've got going on here.  It is in face very true.  There is a Candyland movie in the works to be made.  Supported through Universal Studios and set to be directed by Kevin Lima who is responsible for the cheesy yet sweet and clever Enchanted.  The script is being written by Etan Cohen who is better ... Continue Reading

I’ll be honest.  I was pretty content with what happened in the nineties with Costner and his Robin Hood. While there was no English accent, there was an amazing Alan Rickman, and one of the best action-adventure romance stories of all time.  I can’t say I’m exploding with excitement to hear that a new one is being made until……… Ridley Scott Russell Crowe Cate Blanchett Also slated for casting is Kevin Durand as Little John, Mark Strong as Sir Godfrey, Matthew Macfayden as Sheriff ... Continue Reading

Lena Headey Standout Roles: 300, The Brothers Grimm, and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Reason Underrated: We haven't seen her much in films on this side of the ocean, which if anything should motivate us all to go watch some UK movies staring Lean Headey.  I first saw her as Queen Gorga in the 2007 blockbuster 200.  In a film full of steal stealing hero's and some of the most captivating cinematography in eons, her character stood out amongst all but King ... Continue Reading

10. The Princess Bride The Princess Bride is structured around the idea that love conquers all. But in this story of giants, coward princes, men with extra limbs, sword fights, torture, revenge, bandits, pirates, heroes and true love it’s told through a realm of comedy along with it’s epic scope. With a perfectly structured cast and fantastic screenplay it is entirely conceivable. Wesley’s unconditional love for Buttercup enables us to believe that love has no boundaries. And Buttercups conviction that he ... Continue Reading

A band of humans are pitted in a battle against a distant planet's indigenous population. Hmmm........what? Yes, he's baaaaaaaaaaaaaacccccccck. Avatar is James Cameron's newest master creation.  He had intended to start production of the movie after Titanic in 1999, but to make it with the technology he planned would have cost somewhere in the range of $500 million dollars, and even with Titanic's financial and critical success no studio would have supported that.  Ten years later and he has the techonology to finally ... Continue Reading
