Hammervision's 10 Worst Movies of 2011

image.attributes.post_excerpt
And just like that, we go from best to worst.  There were a ton of mediocre movies this year – movies that fell somewhere in the 2-3 star range on the 5-star scale.  But looking back, I didn’t give one star to as many movies this year as I previously have.  Don’t worry though –... Read more »

Memorable TV Moments of 2011

Everyone has their “best of” lists and their “worst of” lists.  My “of” list consists of things that happened on TV in 2011 as I remember them from my brain. ‘Member when… …we didn’t find out who killed Rosie Larsen and everybody got pissed? …Ned lost his head? …Gus lost his face? …Whitney and her...

In Defense Of...The Island

In Defense Of...The Island
It’s almost become a national pastime to hate on Michael Bay and his movies.  For the last four years, he’s become defined by the Transformers series, rendering everything else an afterthought.  But back in 2005, Bay was on the verge of pushing his career into more respectable territory.  He’d dabbled in it once before with...

List-O-Mania!: Lucky Number 5s

image.attributes.post_excerpt
In honor of this week’s release of the sure-to-be-fantastic (cue sarcasm) Final Destination 5, this inaugural edition of “List-O-Mania!” sets its eyes on the best fifth movies (or fourth sequels) in a series.  Most film series never get to that point (stopping around the third or fourth movie).  But when they do, the fifth is...

In Defense Of...Speed Racer

After disappointing audiences across the world with their lackluster sequels to The Matrix, The Wachowski Brothers faced an uphill climb on their next movie.  Though they would go on to write and produce V for Vendetta in the interim, the big screen adaptation of the beloved ’60s cartoon Speed Racer marked their return to the...

March Movie Madness! Sci-Fi Edition
Geek Alert!  My friend Jonah sent me a link to this the other day, and I just had to fill it out.  What is it, you ask?  It’s a bracket of 64 movies, in competition against each other for the title of “Greatest Science Fiction Movie Ever Made.”  There are no right or wrong answers... Read more »

Movie Essentials: Matt Damon

image.attributes.post_excerpt
In honor of this weekend’s release of the oft-delayed The Adjustment Bureau, starring Matt Damon and Emily Blunt, I thought I’d take the time to highlight the essential films of Mr. Damon.  He’s had quite the successful career in Hollywood.  He started as a highly employable young actor, but only really became a household name...
