    So you fantasize about dressing up like a whore and having a stripper name? I feel bad for ya.

    Escape to the Movies: The Amazing Spider-Man

    I prefer the "That's a cute outfit! Did your husband make it for you?" line he said to Bonesaw McGraw in Spider-Man 1.

    The Big Picture: Batman Revisited, Part 1

    When I saw Avengers I actually noticed a lot of similarities to Transformers 3 (action sequences, plot line, chaotic last hour, etc).

    The Big Picture: Batman Revisited, Part 1

    Out of the one's you listed, Tim Burton's Batman is better than Iron Man (overrated) and the first X-Men.

    No Right Answer: Best Standup Comedian Ever

    Cosby's bit about going to the Dentist is funnier than anything Carlin has done.

    Girl Talk

    A fun, danceable collage mix. Biggie Smalls works surprisingly well with Cream. His new album is available to download for free on his website, so check it out. Can't go wrong with free and legal music.

    Escape to the Movies: The Raid

    How can you say there's no memorable action sequences in the Transformers movies? The freeway chase in Dark of the Moon The forest fight in Revenge of the Fallen The Qatar fight in Transformers and those were just at the top of my head. Say what you will about Michael Bay, but the...

    Escape to the Movies: Wrath of the Titans

    I doubt there will be a lot of bottom 10 lists with Mirror Mirror. Critics seemed to enjoy it more than expected. It's actually garnering better reviews than Wrath of the Titans. Though if you're theory is correct shouldn't both be in a lot of bottom 10 lists?

    Escape to the Movies: The Hunger Games

    Some things in books or comics don't translate well on the big screen, so changes should be made to make it more feasible for the average movie going audience who hasn't read the books. As long as it keeps the main themes of the story and it's characters, than changes should be welcome.

    Escape to the Movies: John Carter

    Precisely. Some of the best movies are vastly different from their source material. I believe that as an adaptation, you need to keep the essence of what made the story popular but be given the liberty to make changes as you see fit. If you don't feel the liberty of making changes to the source...

    The Oscars Are Going to Suck

    Tintin is certainly not fantastic. It's a spectacle but the main character of Tintin is a flat out uninteresting character. Not too mention the motion capture still does not work with humans.

    The Oscars Are Going to Suck

    Tin Tin has no business being nominated for best picture. It's not even the best animated movie (Rango).

    The Big Picture: Untransformed

    Sucker Punch has an interesting concept and ideas, but the film is too dumb to fully execute on said ideas. It intends to have meaning but Snyder (who has only make one good movie "Dawn of the Dead") is not a good enough filmmaker to fully broaden those ideas into a complete narrative. But...

    Dad uses Facebook to teach daughter a lesson.

    I liked everything up until he shoots the laptop. What he should have done was donated it to a poor family who would really appreciate it.
