Leftovers: Ultimate Cuts, Terrible Remakes, and Sleepaway Revivals

As Thanksgiving draws near, I feel compelled to share some Leftovers early. Here’s some impressions of some movies I have seen over the past few weeks that I didn’t really feel like extending out into full reviews; Watchmen: The Ultimate Cut, Day of the Dead (2008), and Return to Sleepaway Camp.

Leftovers: Record Store Day 2009

Record Store Day was just a few weekends ago. I was blessed with an opportunity to not only grab some vinyl at Lancaster’s several great record shops, I got to grab some in Philadelphia as well.
My Morning Jacket – Celebración De La Ciudad Natal

Spanish for “Celebration of the Native City”, this record is a [...]

Leftovers: Movies That May Or May Not Star Paul Rudd

I saw a few comedies recently. Here’s what I think.
Role Models

Impressive for the fact that it:
A. Makes Seann William Scott tolerable for 90% of the movie.
B. Spookily echoes my thoughts on things via Paul Rudd and his negative asshole vibe.
C. Managed to make a movie about LARPing entertaining
D. Made KISS tolerable
In all seriousness, it’s a [...]

Leftovers: Moneyball, Semi-Pro, Crazy Taxi

What do these 3 things have in common? Sports? Well, not really. Crazy Taxi isn’t a sport. I guess nothing. Anyway, here’s some leftovers.

Leftovers: Halloween-time Movies

This month, I’ve inadvertently watched 3 horror-ish movies. So, Leftovers time it is!
Alien 3: Assembly Cut

I finally took time to watch what is the “complete” version of Alien 3, and this is by far the superior version of the movie. Though this version runs pretty long, it also adds about 45 minutes of new material [...]

Leftovers Weekend: How Do You Like My Krug?

This weekend, the gang was assembled, and movies were watched. In this longer than usual version of Leftovers: In The Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, Halloween III (again), Warbirds, Teen Wolf Too, Bloodrayne 2: Deliverance, and Air Bud. Thanks to Mike, Chris, and Andrew for making it through this murderer’s row of [...]

Leftovers: Two Oscar Winners and Halloween III

Over the course of the last week, I’ve watched a decent variety of movies. Now I’ll write about it.
Atonement

Maybe I’m just not sophisticated enough for this movie, but apparently people fuckin’ LOVED this movie. I don’t know, I wasn’t feeling it. It wasn’t particularly gripping, I felt the love connection was forced and not that [...]

Leftovers: King of California, Zodiac, Gone Baby Gone

For some reason, I can’t seem to ever commit to a full review of a movie, but I’ll throw a few words at the screen about them anyway. This time around, it is King of California, Zodiac, and Gone Baby Gone.

Leftovers +1: Major Motion Pictures

For some reason, I’ve been at the theaters a lot lately in the past month. Here’s some impressions of the movies I saw. These were going to be full blown reviews, but alas, I am lazy, and 4 reviews are not to be.
National Treasure: Book of Secrets

Holy hell does this movie shovel a lot of [...]

Leftovers: Movie Night

So a lazy friday evening turns into a night of sci-fi movie watching. Let’s see what’s on cable!
First up…
Alien Resurrection

Bleh. That’s about all I got to say about this one. It’s a pretty unlikeable movie that I still end up watching all the time for some reason. I think it’s that same rehashed formula from [...]
