Mikey Movie Madness!: Wolfman...strikes again?
http://mikeymoviemadness.blogspot.com/2010/02/wolfmanstrikes-again.html
Friday, February 12, 2010. A remake of The Wolfman. Okay. Let's see -. Mike Nichols directed "Wolf". Great performance by James Spader, ridiculous performance from Jack Nicholson, adequate performance by Michelle Pfeiffer, very interesting metaphor of the ravenous and evil world of publishing in NYC but, in the end, not very thrilling or exciting - too cerebral. Stephen "Hack" Sommers did a pretty good job with the frantic "Van Helsing". It was so busy and noisy and over-the-top it was hard to tell i...

Mikey Movie Madness!: February 2010
http://mikeymoviemadness.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 16, 2010. Why Was I Remade? I saw the new Stepfather on DVD. I'm sure anyone who is reading this will ask me the most important question - "Why? I wanted to see what they would do with the remake. I groaned when I first heard someone was remaking it, not because the 1987 original was so good but because it was so unexpectedly not. Take a look at the original trailer. You can see how interesting O'Quinn is to watch:. And here is Joseph Cotton on "Shadow Of A Doubt":. Both actors had a gr...

Mikey Movie Madness!: A Pare/Red fan...
http://mikeymoviemadness.blogspot.com/2010/02/one-parered-fan.html
Sunday, February 14, 2010. I got this email yesterday:. What I wrote on this blog (they were quoting me):. 8220;Poor now-deceased Eric Red did the best job he could with "Bad Moon" in the 90's. But when you have Mariel Hemingway and Michael "I Should Be Doing Gay Porn Not Acting" Pare in the leads, there is only so much you can do”. What they wrote in response:. Signed, Pare’/Red fan! Blunder on my part Eric Red died. I really thought he did. So yes, apologies in that camp. Eric has done some great stuff...

Mikey Movie Madness!: A Seriously Depressed Man Indeed
http://mikeymoviemadness.blogspot.com/2010/02/seriously-depressed-man-indeed.html
Saturday, February 13, 2010. A Seriously Depressed Man Indeed. What is that saying? The honeymoon is over. To describe the plot is to enter murky waters for there is no plot. A sweet man and his abusive wife, cranky kids, mean spirited neighbors and assorted cranky people live together in a suburb in an undefined part of America. The man in Jewish and is an outcast. Much of the film is told form the perspective of a Jew in middle America in the 60's. That's it. There is no more. I realize A Serious Man i...

Mikey Movie Madness!: August 2009
http://mikeymoviemadness.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 31, 2009. DVD New Releases: CORALINE and ADVENTURELAND. I had the great fortune and misfortune to see a whole slew of movies this weekend. I'll say one thing: I should always trust my instincts. I'm not sure how, but I can almost always tell, via a movie poster or the the DVD cover art or the coverage on a movie if I'll like it or not. It's rare I'm wrong. And it's rare the American public is wrong. Most often, the most successful movies are the best movies. Let's start with Coraline.

Mikey Movie Madness!: October 2009
http://mikeymoviemadness.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 8, 2009. Halloween Movies #25 and #24 - When Bad Remakes Happen To Great Horror. I used to do this weird thing as a kid. It was pretty cool. I felt like I was always in a movie. It got sorta pathetic when I'd make heavy breathing sounds as I opened the refrigerator door for the gallon of milk inside, and grab it, pretending I was a killer who just happened to be really thirsty and needed some milk. I wasn't a creepy kid. I was imaginative and highly visual, thank you very much. Famesure...

Mikey Movie Madness!: ...and we're back!
http://mikeymoviemadness.blogspot.com/2010/02/and-were-back.html
Thursday, February 11, 2010. Wow Four months since I've posted here. Can you say - Fell off the edge of the world? I had a mini-breakdown over Christmas but now I'm back. Better than ever. I realized I wanted to get back to posting about movie. It's been too long. What a better way than to start with Quentin Tarantino's new flick just released on DVD, "Inglourious Basterds." Did I mention it's directed by Quentin Tarantino? At 2 hours and 23 minutes long, there is roughly 40 minutes that are an absolute ...

TRAINWRECK has a perfect example of a False Loop! | Your Screenplay Sucks!

7 Deadly Sins of Writing. What is your story “about”? 8220;Just in time delivery” is great in manufacturing. Sucks in storytelling. →. July 29, 2015 · 11:21. TRAINWRECK has a perfect example of a False Loop! Saw TRAINWRECK last night. It’s not very good. Sadly. It’s very funny, but it doesn’t work as a movie. One reason: it’s boring. The second reason is that the lead character, Amy, is so reprehensible and unpleasant to be around that, in the end, I wished I’d not spent any time with her at all. Probabl...
