MOVIEGOERS TAPPED OUT?

There are a lot of child protagonists from movies aimed at kids that were awesome because they were so much darker than kid protagonists usually were. When you were a kid, this is a really fun way to enjoy a good ole fashioned macabre kid’s movie. As an adult, some of these kid characters can come off a little creepy if you stop and think about it. These dark characters who have obsessions with setting traps for bad guys, torturing their siblings, and destroying their enemies in a truly brutal fashion makes you think that perhaps they won’t become the most well-adjusted adults....

With the current big-screen success of The Batman starring Robert Pattinson, it’s easy to see yet again how well Batman as a character has done in Hollywood over the past 30+ years. Practically no matter who’s played Batman (Michael Keaton, Christian Bale, Val Kilmer, and perhaps to a lesser extent, George Clooney and Ben Affleck) the franchise has always been successful, thanks to Batman’s long-lasting appeal. Starting as a DC comic book character in 1939, then as a television show back in the 1960s with Adam West as the Caped Crusader, Batman’s plot lines have generally had a darker theme to them as time went on....

There are a lot of cinematic bombs in the world. Reviewers warn everyone to stay as far away as possible. The approval ratings are in the teens, if they’re lucky. The world forgets about them, and they are doomed to obscurity. However, there are those that survive the negativity and gain an audience in those that find a particular sense of humor in the mediocrity, ridiculous plots, and the blatant overacting....

Over its nearly hundred-year history, the Academy Awards have honored some of the most memorable performances ever put on screen. However, they have tended to favor performances in dramatic films. Performances from films in other genres, like comedy, horror, or sci-fi, have an uphill climb if they want to see their actors honored. Let’s look at some comedic performances that the Academy did not nominate for an Oscar, but perhaps should have....

The post-apocalypse lays waste to civilization, sparing the dismal outskirts for survivors. They are the remnants of society. They are pregnant with hope and greed, waiting for a tomorrow that may not arrive. Days become moments of sameness, indistinguishable from the people they used to be. Efforts to keep their morale and identities alive raise speculations and unwarranted power struggles against each other. Though these be cautionary tales unrealized, the surrealist picture of a world they paint is close to becoming reality....

Get ready to laugh in December. In a story from The Digital Bits, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will be releasing The Brothers Solomon on DVD December 26. Synopsis This is a gleefully raunchy tale of two socially backward but kind-hearted adult brothers, Dean and John Solomon (Will Forte and Will Arnett), who had the misfortune to be home-schooled by their father at a remote Arctic outpost. Destined to be perpetually single, their moronic, klutzy attempts at meeting new women (such as popping the question on a first date in a crowded restaurant) always blow up in their face....

The Good This is a great show that was really in it’s grove in this fourth season. The Bad I wish Roseanne racks on these DVDs as the ones she does provide are great!
