My 5 favorite things about... A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors

I just looked at the second Elm Street movie, Freddy's Revenge, and was relatively surprised by how much I liked it the second time around. So what do I think of this, the third in the series? Well, it's often considered one of the best of the series, but I think I actually liked the first two better. You can almost place this blame solely on Patricia Arquette, who just might give the worst performance in the entire series. Still, there are a lot of original ideas here, and I'll be going into some of the things I really liked about it here in a sec. But first, look at this sweet-ass poster.

My 5 favorite things about... A Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge

A Nightmare On Elm Street is one of the most well-known, classic horror movies of the '80s, and even of all time. Freddy Krueger has gone on to be considered one of the scariest and most iconic villains ever, and it's largely due to his presence in the first film of the series. His impact here led to a half-dozen sequels, a crossover with Jason Voorhees, a reboot, and yet another rumored reboot still in the works -- and this isn't even including the countless other appearances and parodies of this character that have been in film and TV over the past 30 years.

So, apart from the obvious success of the first one that led us down this path, what else is there this film series has to offer? Let's take a look, shall we?

First Oscar Predictions: 2016 - 2017

I love Oscar season. I find all the politics behind everything hilarious, and the movies that will do well are almost always insanely easy to guess. This isn't always the case, but to try and see how predictable they all are, I'm gonna be making this group of predictions and leaving them untouched and then compare them with my more official predictions later on, just to see how much has changed in like 4-5 months. So, here is my first batch of guesses. And crap, why not throw in predicted winners while we're at it? They'll be the ones on the top. In bold. With stars. And "WINNER WINNER!" written next to them. Eh, maybe not that last part...

Oh yeah, and I just wanted to mention this real quickly, because I don't remember if I already typed it and I'm too lazy to read through to see if I already mentioned it (I don't proofread my own writing, like, ever), but I haven't seen any of these movies yet, apart from a couple of the animated ones (Zootopia and Kubo), so I am shooting blind here. Alright, here are the predictions.

5 Important Notes For Musical Filmmakers


Having just watched Into The Woods and spending about an hour playing Sweet Transvestite from The Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack over and over again, it's safe to say musicals have been on my mind for a few hours. I found myself wondering why it is that I don't like most musicals I watch. I love movies, I love music, and I enjoy watching dancing and choreography as much as any normal person. So why is it that most musicals just really bug me instead of leave me wanting to sing along, or dance around or whatever? Well, here are the 5 main things I find myself seeing as the most important aspects of any good musical, and more often than not, you'll find at least 1 or 2 of these are not present in these movies. I might be wrong, but I've spent over 5 whole minutes thinking these things up, so I'm probably right. Like, super right.




1. The songs have to be catchy or memorable sounding (even just a few of them)

Project Pokemon: The Gathering - Charmander, Charmeleon, and Charizard!

And here are the next few in the set. Also devised by Patrick and Jon. Again, this is just the original design, and can be changed. Very easily, I might add. So here are the next three, everyone's favorite flaming salamanders!
