movie of the week – Page 18

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.

Movie of the Week: Coraline.

Unsurprising, yes, given how much I enjoyed it. So we say farewell to Logan’s Run and hello to Coraline. I should watch it in 3-D sometime.

Rental. No glasses.

Movie of the Week: Logan’s Run.

We say adieu to The Lord of the Rings – The Motion Picture Trilogy and put up instead Logan’s Run, for absolutely no reason whatsoever. Why would anybody think that there’d be a reason?

Why, the very idea.

Movie of the Week: The LoTR Trilogy.

So farewell to 12 Monkeys, and hello to The Lord of the Rings – The Motion Picture Trilogy.

Because sometimes you just have to take the half day and watch the whole blessed thing through, that’s why.

Movie of the Week: Twelve Monkeys.

It being Wednesday, we say good-bye – until November17th – to Star Trek, and say hello to 12 Monkeys, which is otherwise known as A Time Travel Movie That Didn’t Suck.

Well, many of them do.

Movie of the Week: Star Trek.

It being Wednesday, we say good-bye to Grosse Pointe Blank and let all of you know that they’ve finally decided that Star Trek will be coming out on DVD on November 17, 2009. Just in time for Thanksgiving. Heck, just in time for November 17th, which I’m sure is a viable holiday somewhere.

PS: Homemade Bread Day, apparently.

Movie of the Week: Grosse Pointe Blank.

It is Wednesday, and so we replace National Treasure with Grosse Pointe Blank.

Yes. Precisely because of the song..
