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.

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..

Movie of the Week: National Treasure.

Going from 1776 to National Treasure doesn’t seem all that much of a jump for me; but then again, I’m weird. Anyway, National Treasure is just one of those fun popcorn movies that demonstrates that Jerry Bruckheimer secretly plays roleplaying games.

Seriously. That was somebody’s campaign. Done right.

Movie of the Week: 1776.

It’s getting up to the July Fourth weekend, so we remove the modern heroes of Apollo 13 and bring in the ancestral heroes of 1776. I saw the Broadway revival starring Brent Spiner as John Adams, and he did fine with it – still, this is the one that I grew up with.

Movie of the Week: Apollo 13. (Plus, Buzz Aldrin hip-hop link!)

And so we say goodbye to Mars Needs Women, and hello to Apollo 13… which is both a great film, and a vague sorta-kinda shout-out to Buzz Aldrin, who has two of the Greatest Videos Ever featured over here. Only one of which is a Snoop Dogg collaboration.

Swear to God, it’s true.

Movie of the Week: Mars Needs Women.

Early switchout today of Movie of the Week: and would you believe, I still haven’t gotten through all of Gran Torino yet? I blame Bush… you know, I have absolutely no idea why saying that seems to satisfy a certain type of person.

But enough about peculiar religious rituals: this week’s offering is Mars Needs Women, because it was on while I was finding Sesame Street for the boy. We almost didn’t keep going; but he’s not old enough yet to really appreciate the classics.
