The Lorax

June 23rd, 2009
650. 

Lucy’s current fave book is The Lorax by Dr. Seuss. She’s only made it through the entire book a couple times (we read it at bed time), but she asks for it pretty much every night. (Currently replacing Angelina Ballerina and Pinkalicious.)

With all the reboots in Hollywood, why doesn’t someone re-do this great story?

What's the worst movie you actually liked?

April 17th, 2008
188. 

Came across the Metacritic Worst Reviewed Movies page today. Thought it would be interesting to see what the worst movie (according to the list) I actually liked was… honestly – no “I thought Bio-Dome was actually good” cop outs.

So, I took a look. Here are my top 3:

75. Billy Madison – remember seeing this in the theaters and laughing so hard I fell on the ground.
128. Vegas Vacation - not sure if this is a “I’ve seen this so many times, it has to be funny” vote.
180. Saving Silverman – see above.

How about you?

Excited for Choke

January 8th, 2008
170. 

OK, so I am officially excited to hear that Choke will debut at Sundance Film Festival this year. After what seems like years of talk, the movie is ready and initial impression are good. “Here’s the first official images from the set.”:http://www.collider.com/entertainment/news/article.asp/aid/6580/tcid/1

Chuck Palahniuk is probably my favorite author, so you know I will be all over this once it comes out to a general release. Now all I need to know is: when is Survivor going to be turned into a movie? Now that would be awesome.
