Bad Movies We Love: Home Alone 2: Lost in New York

Posted on December 21, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Since I’m rational, Christmas puts me in the mood for nostalgia and cartoonish violence. Accordingly, I’m torqued to explore one of the sweetest and most carnage-laden celebrations of the yuletide, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York . Chris Columbus’s unthinkably successful box office hit ($173,585,516 in the U.S. alone) reunites us with Kevin McCallister, pits him against bumbling baddies Harry and Marv, and even trots out an extra Oscar-winner for our ironic amusement. Did I mention that it’s sometimes more violent than The Texas Chainsaw Massacre ? Because I wouldn’t be lying about that. I also wouldn’t be lying when I say this is a totally stupid movie that should come standard with every American home.

Bah, Humbug: 5 Better Scrooges Than Jim Carrey — and 5 Worse Ones

Posted on November 16, 2010 by | Comments Off on Bah, Humbug: 5 Better Scrooges Than Jim Carrey — and 5 Worse Ones

For those of us who thought Robert Zemeckis’ Beowulf was a vast improvement over The Polar Express , A Christmas Carol (out this week from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment) wound up being a disappointing return to the rubbery, dead-eyed characters of that earlier Christmas flick. But at least give Jim Carrey points for trying — he provides the license-to-ham role of Ebenezer Scrooge with his full arsenal of grimaces and twitches and, if nothing else, totally pours himself into the character. (He’s a little less successful playing all the ghosts, but none of his doubling comes close to the creepiness of seeing Gary Oldman play Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim.)

Do The Time Warp: Rocky Horror Picture Show Turns 35

Posted on September 26, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Do The Time Warp: Rocky Horror Picture Show Turns 35

In one lonely theater in Los Angeles, California on September 26th 1975, a weird little movie based on a weird little stage show opened. It got mixed reviews and people more or less stayed away. But when the Rocky Horror Picture Show began to circulate the midnight movie circuit, a genuine underground phenomenon was born — people began to dress up, talk back and throw things at the screen. And now 35 years later, it’s still in limited release. So grab your fishnets and check out the original trailer and my favorite number after the break.
