Indiana Jones Mistakes


OK. We saw the movie during opening weekend. At first I was a bit disappointed, but it grew on me. I think the main reason I didn't like it was that I was comparing it to the earlier films. Compared to many recent and current films, it simply rocks. I'm sure that I'll see it again in theaters and own it on DVD by Christmas.

Here is a site I have talked about before. It is a blog that tracks mistakes for films (and TV shows). As I write this there are 42 mistakes. Some are really nit-picky. I like the visible equipment and the trivia.

Unclassics


This is an article that discusses downgrading 10 well regarded "masterpieces" of film making from classic status to something less than that. This is really a discussion for real film fans. As a side note, how many of these films have you seen?

Film School Rejects


Movie news, opinions, reviews, and all things movies, movies, movies. Plus occasional reviews by my favorite reviewer. Check out her take on the latest Dr. Suess flick in her review titled, "Horton hears a pro-life protest".

Hollywood's Dirty Secret


From the liberal heart of Hollywood comes a conservative film festival. Running for a couple of years, the promoters run films that go against the standard PC grain of leftist Hollywood to show the other side of America. Was that too heavy handed? Alright, I'll settle down. Anyway, this just might be a place to find some film gems that might get overlooked by the mainstream because the subject or the creators are a bit too "against the grain". Look it over.
