Robert De Niro, Susan Sarandon, Diane Keaton and other notable names star in a disastrous film about a disastrous wedding. Full of flat jokes and poor characters, all in support of a tired, hackneyed set-up, “The Big Wedding” is one you should just tell, “I don’t”.
YES! We made it through the Winter Movie Season, where Hollywood unloads their junk on us, and now we’re headed into the Spring!
Spring is a time for mini-blockbusters, and movies that Hollywood hopes will have decent runs. Last year, “The Hunger Games” was released in March, for example, and we all saw how well that did!

Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence star as a couple of people with mental issues who meet and cautiously get to know each other. She’s an amateur dancer who plays on his obsession with his ex-wife in order to wrangle him into dancing with her in a local competition. Along the way, there’s romance, comedy, insanity, dancing, degenerate gambling, drunkenness, neighborhood disturbances, cops, fist fights…
A good time is guaranteed for all.
Ok, folks, here we are! One of the major movie release seasons of the year is upon us, The Holiday Movie Season!
The Holidays started a little early this year, with “Skyfall” (undeniably a major release) opening in the first week of November. So we’re underway! Between now and the end of the year, we’ll see some of the biggest films on the 2012 docket get released, including the conclusion to the “Twilight” Saga, “The Hobbit”, and “Django Unchained”!

Last week, I put forward the question – which would you choose, Al Pacino, or Robert De Niro?
They’re two of the greatest actors in history, and almost everyone who commented touched on how difficult a choice it was!
But it needed to be asked, and in spite of everyone saying it was close, the end results weren’t. One of these two walked away with it…

Welcome to the latest “Great Debate”!
This time up, we have a debate that’s been going on as far back as I can remember. Two of the greatest actors of all time… Al Pacino and Robert De Niro.
Being roughly the same age, both of Italian descent, and both incredibly gifted performers, it’s unavoidable that the two would draw comparisons to each other. And they have. Over the course of the past four decades, I don’t think any two actors have been compared and contrasted against each other as much as these two have.
Which one do you choose?

So, for the second time, [the Pharisees]
Summoned the man who had been blind and said:
“Speak the truth before God.
We know this fellow is a sinner.”
“Whether or not he is a sinner, I do not know,”
The man replied.
“All I know is this:
Once I was blind and now I can see.”
- John IX, 24-26

Ok folks, here we go. Part II of the 2012 Fall Movie Preview. Today we’ll break down all the major releases on tap for the month of October, and the first week of November!
As you might imagine, it’s a diverse bunch. There are some ahead that look intriguing, and some that might as well be announcing that they’re garbage already, LOL. Let’s have a look and see if we can’t sort out what’s what!!
Howdy Everybody! I’m throwing another feature into the mix. We’ll see how quickly I run out of these, or if it degenerates into just a movie poll thread eventually or something… But my intention, at least at the onset here, is to give us a spot to discuss and debate some of the great movie questions of our time.
To start us off? I thought… lets lead with the big one. This is a debate and a discussion that I’ve had several times personally, and I know that people actively take sides. It’s one of the best movie debates ever, because they’re both incredible, incredible movies. Well, I want to hear which side YOU stand on… and why.

AULD LANG CYANIDE
(Sung to the tune of “Same Auld Lang Syne”, by Dan Fogleberg)
Took one last trip into the megaplex
Before ’11 up and le-eaves
Told the girl who sold the tickets there
“I’ll take one for New Year’s Eve”
I got a soda and I found a seat
The theatre’s packed what can I dooo…?
I really wish that people had more taste.
The Descendants! Theatre two!
The movie started and I tried to count
The silly plotlines flying byyyyy
I tried my best but I could not keep up
I lost track at twenty-five…
Each was stupid and complete nonsense.
These things don’t happen in real liiife…
It didn’t seem as though the theatre cared
They all laughed, and I just cried.
This movie’s %&$#ing vacuous, it’s empty and it’s dumb!
Its lame attempts at “soulfulness”… left me feeling numb…
Heigl, Kutcher, Berry, Pfeiffer, Biel.
Breslin, Parker, Broderick toooo…
And if you think that sounds like overkill,
I’m not halfway %&$#ing through!
But here’s a riddle that I couldn’t solve,
And I don’t say this in je-est…
How could it be that in this “Actorfest”
Jon Bon Jovi did the best?!
Now I’ll admit there was a laugh or two
The movie IS two hours loooong
But if you judged it by my audience,
This was Cheech and %&$#ing Chong!
This movie’s %&$#ing vacuous, it’s empty and it’s dumb!
Its lame attempts at “soulfulness”… left me feeling numb…
This movie’s %&$#ing vacuous, its shallow and it’s trite!
At points it made me really wish… I’d brought some cyanide…
And so the movie was a painful thing
Not just itself, but for the cro-owd…
It was obvious they didn’t care
But I wanted to scream out!
HOW COULD DE NIRO SELL US OUT LIKE THIS?!
The man was Vito Corleoooone….
But the audience was into it,
My good taste… made me… a-lone….
