    Escape to the Movies: Transformers: Dark of the Moon

    I can say honestly, that I have not seen any of the Transformers films. I almost saw the first one, but I got bored and distracted and did other stuff. I can really side with your views on movies in general though, Bob. I'm really sick of explosions sucking up so much money (both in...

    The Big Picture: The Numbers

    This video is a clear break down of why films like Watchmen, Sucker Punch, and Scott Pilgrim don't do well in the box office, yet, never get old or have an empty/thoughtless moment; they make the average movie-goer think or feel in a way they don't want to, and in fact a way they're probably...

    Escape to the Movies: Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

    Someone I know does want to see this. But I just wont remind them it's out, and hope they forget about it. As I've mentioned to people, I usually agree with Bob's reviews, thus if he doesn't like, I may watch, but I wont pay theater prices.

    Escape to the Movies: Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

    Bad news Bob... they've already got two more planned. Now them being made probably depends entirely on the success of this one. But they already have them listed on imdb as possible movies. I had no real interest in this film. I learned from Alice in Wonderland and The Tourist, that Johnny...

    The Big Picture: MovieBob's Junk Drawer

    Oh man. Dolphins do do some nasty awful things. It's sad that that's one of the greatest connections to humans and human intelligence... is that they have the decision making capabilities to do awful pointless things. Especially the Bottle-Nosed Dolphin. In fact, it's the only breed I really...

    The Big Picture: Maddening

    I am really in agreement with Bob on this one. I'm someone who still eats meat, but I believe animals are not so far from ourselves to go out of our way to hurt them. I mean we domesticate them just to unleash these horrors on them? I have had such a horrible time with this Vick thing. I...

    The Big Picture: Captains Courageous

    I argue that it's time we just have a story involving all the Marvel animal-based heroes. I keep hearing about more and more of them... and they'd make as much sense as comics in general these days. I always thought Marvel's version came first, thus how Shazam came to be. That's insane it's...

    Escape to the Movies: MovieBob: Oscars 2011

    So here's my two cents... Kings Speech wins best picture because that's the direction of the academy. People will say Social Network was robbed and some others will say it should have been Black Swan (haven't seen Social Network, so I'm not going to unfairly back Black Swan). Inception is...

    Escape to the Movies: The Eagle

    Hahaha for the Rikki-Oh reference. I still can't believe I've watched that movie and laughed so hard. The only other violence that's made me nervously while also genuinely laugh so hard was Watchmen. I know... I'm messed up. Also, yeah, I couldn't agree more. I saw the preview for this...

    Daily Drop: Jam

    Oh man... I need a PB&J sandwich now.

    The Big Picture: Magneto Was Right

    You know, I really like the point made about people who are picked on (or those trying to make them feel better) excusing bullying to an aggressive act by the insecure inferior towards the superior. People through my life have tried to convince me "it's because you're better than that", "it's...

    Escape to the Movies: No Strings Attached

    Maybe these recent movies aren't rom-coms but sex-coms. I mean they still try to be all lovey-dovey at parts, but really this and Love and Other Drugs were heavily sexual, and Bob, who doesn't seem to care for rom-coms is fine with, even likes these. So maybe our society that kind of throws...

    The Big Picture: Nerd Gods

    Brilliant ending there. That seems to be the pattern of my thoughts. Hmm... a thought, expand on that thought, this is getting good, and if that could work why not this too... and, oh, wait, one example screws the whole thing up... nevermind. There's religious context behind some holidays...

    Escape to the Movies: The 2010 MovieBob Awards

    So I vote that Cap or X-Men win. Thor is looking... ok, but I fear a lot of visuals and action with no depth in the acting. I'm not even sure I want to check out Green Lattern. I was never for Mel Gibson, and yeah, I'd really like to just stop hearing about him. HIs next film sounds about...

    Escape to the Movies: True Grit

    Wasn't huge on seeing True Grit unless someone wants to take me. Just not my usual type of film, but it does look good for what it is. A little disappointed, as others, that Inception wasn't on the best list. Also Black Swan, but maybe that falls more into next year since it's still out and...
