movie of the week – Page 17

Movie of the week: …OK, so it’s the complete Transformers.

Specifically, the Transformers: 25th Anniversary Matrix Of Leadership Edition [The Complete Series].

So sue me. And watch as we switch out G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra… OK, that wasn’t really intentional. Honest.

Moe Lane

Movie of the Week: GI Joe.

Yes, I ripped G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra up and down the length of Twitter a couple of days ago.

So?

So we replace Bottle Shock with it as Movie of the Week. Because… well, because it was as close as you can get to the animated show without, you know, animating it.

Movie of the Week: Bottle Shock.

I forgot to do this last night: so… Bottle Shock, which is the best darn sports movie about wine that you’ll ever see. It, of course, replaces Shadow of the Vampire, which is just… well, it’s a movie that Jon Malkovich was in, which says it all, really.

Moe Lane

Movie of the Week: Shadow of the Vampire.

Because it’s almost Halloween, and because Shadow of the Vampire is a bloody good movie, and because it amuses me to replace Up with it.

Moe Lane

Movie of the Week: Up.

I will freely admit it: I didn’t get a chance to see Up in theaters. Yes, I hang my head in shame. Anyway, it’s coming out in three weeks, and I’m reliably informed that it was merely yet another goram spectacular Pixar film, so: Movie of the week, to replace Patton.

Movie of the Week: Patton.

Because, honestly, if somebody showed you an actual picture of Patton you’d scratch your head at the way that he doesn’t look all that much like George C. Scott. It’s that good a movie.

And so we replace Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride with Patton. Because we can, and so we shall.

Movie of the Week: The Wizard of Oz.

It was going to be Taken, but I did that one already. So it being Wednesday: farewell to Village of the Damned, and hello to the 70 year old The Wizard of Oz.

Movie of the Week: Red Dawn.

Yes, I know that I’ve called it awful. Red Dawn is awful. It is also replacing On the Waterfront as Movie of the Week. Why?

Because “WOLLLLVEERRRRINNNNESSSS!!!!!,” that’s why.

Movie of the Week: Tremors.

The sequels were… well, there are people who like them. But Tremors was fun, so we’ll replace The Call of Cthulhu with it. It’s all Mythos anyway.

Movie of the Week: Call of Cthulhu.

It being Wednesday, we say goodbye to Coraline as Movie of the Week. A judicious amount of luck, patience, and willingness to give a new Amazon bookseller a shot allowed me to acquire Thomas Harlan’s Land of the Dead at enough of a discount for me to actually afford it, so we’ll celebrate the occasion by declaring The Call of Cthulhu to replace it.

Yeah, Harlan’s writing Mythos books. I’m also starting to suspect that so is Charlie Stross, with his Merchant Princes series.
