Hats off to BTS

At the beginning of the tournament I said the person with the best bracket would earn the honor and praise of all his peers. Well, that person is BTS. Not only is he the only one who actually sent in his picks, I’m pretty sure if I hadn’t pulled the last minute switch he would [...]

The Big Dance

Mazes and Monsters vs. Left Behind
What a long strange Grieco it’s been. We have finally made it to the championship and things have turned out a bit differently than I thought they would, which is kind of strange because, you know, I pick who wins. Anyway, the #1 and #2 seeds have all fallen by [...]

Final Four (Game 2)

The Saint vs. Mazes and Monsters

In many ways, this is even a better battle than the last game. The Saint is clearly the prohibitive favorite of this tournament (say, like UCONN) and Mazes and Monsters is a movie that some would say never should have been in the tournament in the first place (you know, [...]

Final Four (Game 1)

Starship Troopers vs. Left Behind

I thought we’d kick things off in the Voight bracket this time around.
Breakdown
These two films have everything it takes to be a GIK champion. SST has the budget, but the makers of Left Behind think they’re producing a big Hollywood picture for a few grand, which gives it a quality that [...]

Round One Update

Last week at GIK was one filled with heartbreak, upsets, and some great hustle, so before we head into the Final Four tomorrow I want to get everyone caught up.
In the first game of the Boxleitner Bracket, #1 seedThe Saint came to dominate, give 110%, and do the things it had to do to put [...]

Showgirls vs. Left Behind

How many times must I be bested by Kev in the world of sports? I mean, the man doesn’t even really like basketball. Did you see that bullshit buzzer beater by UT? And the Duke game. Sweet Lord, the Duke game. Way to go out like a pro, J.J. Way to shoot 15% percent from [...]

Judgment Scratched. Tournament Mired in Controversy.

In a shocking move the GIK commissioner yanked Judgment from tournament play just prior to its opening round game and replaced it with fellow religious propaganda film Left Behind. Some will say that the commissioner was merely correcting a terrible mistake he made in the selection process, and that Left Behind should have been in [...]

Starship Troopers vs. The Cell

Before we get started I just want to say that there is finally a new episode of “Lost” on tonight. Woo-hoo!
Alright, since we began with the #1 vs. #4 game in the Boxleitner Bracket, I thought it would be nice if we opened with the #2 vs. #3 game for the Voight section of the [...]

Jason X vs. Mazes and Monsters

Jason X
Finally, the Friday the 13th series reaches the pinnacle of absurdity as Jason, like Leprechaun and Pinhead before him, travels to space. Sure, when Jason took Manhattan it was ridiculous, but somebody had to clean up that godforsaken town, so it kind of made sense. Anyway, Jason X (for “10” but also for “extreme”) [...]

The Saint vs. Eyes of the Werewolf

Eyes of the Werewolf
The greatest challenge of watching Eyes of the Werewolf is trying to figure out when the hell it was made. While it was “released” in 2003, the high-waisted jeans, high-cut panties, and the abundance of Geo Trackers on the road suggest a different time altogether. The story follows a man who receives [...]
