On the Bubble

With March Madness set to start in a few days, the GIK committee is getting down to business. The process has been slowed by the fact that one of the committee members can’t seem to make up his mind on anything. That’s right #5, I’m talking to you. As it stands, three pictures have solidified [...]

Grieco Madness Returns!

We at GIK have failed you on so many levels in 2007 it can’t even be talked about. But we shan’t fail you now. March is upon us, and the greatest Basketball/bad movie tournaments are set to return. Selection Sunday is just days away, which means Grieco Madness 2 is coming! If you have any [...]

Is it March Yet?

This past March we emabrked on what I believe to be the single greatest quest in the history of blogs about bad movies and my time as a telephone psychic. I am, of course, speaking of Grieco Madness. It was two weeks of head-to-head battles that separated the wheat from the Grieco or the Grieco [...]

Happy Birthday BTS!

Friday is BTS’ birthday. He, like myself, has now reached the age of 30. Sure, we’re both doing well in our older age, but we shant sleep until Shrift, our Goth-rave-double-crucifixion-laden retlelling of Footloose comes to the big screen and takes the world by storm. Anyway, in honor of BTS, I am reposting the final [...]

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 [...]
