The Sweet Taste of Raspberry

The Academy Awards have named thier nominees. I say ignore them, and check out the Golden Raspberry Awards. They released their nominees, as well, and they have an eye for the Grieco. My bet is on Son of Mask, but Dukes of Hazzard might pull the upset. Check out all of the nominees at www.razzies.com.

Bottoms Up: Movie Drinking Games

Let me start by saying that I am not much of a drinker. Nor do I encourage others to drink (you hear that youngsters?). However, there are a few movies out there that can be greatly enhanced with these college-inspired, expertly-designed drinking games, so if you are of-age and you have absolutely nothing to do [...]

Mr. Poe. My Drink, Please.

King Kong garnered a lot of attention over the holiday season. Some people focused on the badass giant ape vs. giant dinosaur stuff, others were more concerned with the touching love story between a CGI gorilla and a hot blonde, and still others, such as myself, questioned why they chose to drink absinthe for the [...]

Comments on Triumph

Here are a couple of additions the people would like to make to the “best performances” list. We can only be left to ponder what Sherpa and The Ghost of Gene Siskel have to offer. (note: The Ghost of Gene Siskel has been very busy lately proving to the world that he missed his calling [...]

Where Have all the Griecos Gone?

Have you noticed that these hit films today lack that certain Grieco-esque charm of the movies that were popular when we were kids? I mean, where is the flipping of office supplies that Michael J. Fox pioneered in Secret of My Success? Where is the badass car race between some dude and a ghost that [...]

Raise Your Head in Triumph (Part II)

Here are the remaining 5 of the all-time top 10 performances in movies that would make Grieco proud. Please let me know who you think should be added to the list.
Best Performance by a Child Who Went on to do Mediocre Work
Kirsten Dunst – Interview with the Vampire – I have no real problem with [...]

Raise Your Head in Triumph

The response to the worst performances list (Hang Your Head in Shame parts I&II) was so good, it got me thinking about the best performances of our time. Not the Oscar-winning type roles that we’re all familiar with, but the performances in those Grieco-esque films that oft’ go underappreciated. Now, as I left Kevin Costner [...]

Open Pitch Meeting with a Studio Exec

Mike or Michael is fine. I go by both…It’s a pleasure to finally meet you, too, Mr. Vine…Oh yeah, Scooter and I have talked on the phone many times. What’s up, Scooter?…Well, thank you for flying me out…(laughter, laughter, laughter.) I know the weather’s great here, and LA is where it’s all happening…The flight was [...]

Somebody’s Going to Emergency, Somebody’s Going to Jail

There are several movie experiences that I believe I share with most of you. You know, those moments that have the power to stay with you for your entire life, like waiting in lines around the theater for Empire (Jedi for you younger folk or those of you who are not cursed with a ridiculous [...]

Comments

Here are the comments for both portions of the “worst performances” list. As they are all dead on, I would like to share them with you. Thanks for the response, and I will keep adding any that come my way.
Sherpa said…We ah to be meh-weed when I wetuhn.” It’s true, I know too much of [...]
