Nerd out with Sci Fi films at the Thin Man

In the underbelly of the Thin Man Tavern, genre movies are shown in the Ubi Sub Ubi room each Wednesday. Last year, horror films filled up most of the docket, while Sci Fi takes center stage during this run.

Mega nerd, powerup! The Watchmen movie is here!

So I know there’s already a lot of hype around this Watchmen film and it probably doesn’t need another advertisement, but holy makererl! With the lawsuits over distribution between Fox and Warner Bros., I wasn’t certain Alan Moore’s AMAZING graphic novel would make it to the screen. In his graphic novel, Moore [ READ MORE ]

Pack your day with Oscar cinema

I may have said this before, but one of my friends in particular hates it when I call movies “Film” or “Cinema” (As in: “Hey! Transformers III: More Explodin’! just came out! Let’s go see that film! I heard it was Michael Bay’s finest piece of Cinema.”) but I like to [ READ MORE ]

VD is here.

Oh, Valentine’s Day (or the more popular TimeWarnerDisneyHallmarkPringles holiday, Love Day) is here again. Most of my past V-days have been spent drinking delicious martinis and cheaper beer (that tastes more delicious as the night goes on), and I always thought that was a pretty sound way to celebrate a day (ANY day, really!)

I’ve been readying for the coming zombie apocolypse for a long time.

For reals!) and have been trying to [ READ MORE ]

A film festivus for the rest of us.

I love to call movies “Film.” It annoys my friends, so when we’ll stop at Blockbuster for some [SPOILER ALERT] “Indiana Jones 3: Aliens Hate Communists” and I enjoy the pained looks on their faces when I insist on announcing that we’re renting “Cinema.” Yes, my brows are so high they shoot off [ READ MORE ]

Go see starz

I’ve always wanted to attend one of those fancy movie festivals in Toronto or Park City or something. I’d search for celebrities and leak their gossip to Us!
