Straight up, I thought this movie looked predictable and dumb… despite the fact that I really like Justin Long… but I’m happy to report I ended up really enjoying “Going The Distance”. Watch the video to find out why.

The Last Exorcism Review
Had a chance to catch “The Last Exorcism” a couple of times. I don’t mention this in my video review, but I ended up liking it more the second time than the first time. I can’t say why without giving away a spoiler, but I thought I should mention it.

QUESTION SOMEONE ASKED ME ONLINE: “So far, do you believe Toy Story 3 deserves the oscar for best motion picture?” ANSWER: Well, if you’re going to give the Oscar to the actual best movie of the year, then at this point yes. There is simply no other movie that comes close yet. Curious to see [...]

Bob Dowling Says You Are ‘Flat Earth Society’ If You Don’t Love 3D
It’s no secret that I loath 3D in movies. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed “Avatar” for what it was, but that was 1 single film out of about 12 I’ve watched recently. It always goes the same way for me… about 5 minutes into a 3D film I find myself wishing I could just [...]

What I Think Should Have Been Done About The Alex Billington Situation
Ok, so my last post got a lot more attention than I thought it would. To sum up my last post: 1 – Alex Billington essentially blackmailed Universal into inviting him to a special “secret” screening of Scott Pilgrim at Comic Con by threatening to announce the screening to his readers unless they capitulated. This [...]

Entitlement, Squables and we wonder why people don’t take web writers seriously
As a movie blogger I’ve always been keenly aware of 3 very important things: 1) I AM NOT A JOURNALIST A lot of blogger and web writers need to get over themselves sometimes. Just because you write on a website that gets a modest amount of readers DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE A JOURNALIST. You’re [...]
