Flickchart Matchup of the Day
I think we can all agree that women jumping out of airplanes is simply delightful, so let’s check out two films with female parachutists :
Fathom vs. The Tarnished Angels
When most people hear the name Raquel Welch they automatically think of One Million Years B.C. and her cave girl bikini. It’s an iconic image and she is looking pretty good. I don’t dispute that. I do, however, want to let everyone know that the film does not have the final word on Raquel and swimwear. I would argue that her green bikini in Fathom deserves an equal amount of reverence, and that cave people are kind of gross. In Fathom Raquel can speak in complete sentences and her character has access to modern sanitation. Also, she is a trained dental assistant in addition to her parachuting skills. Welch’s Loana character in One Million Years B.C. can make no such claims.

Where do you stand?
by Ryan Stuckey
The idea to make a sequel to a movie that was universally panned about a superhero that no one really cares being played by an actor that everyone constantly makes fun of seems misguided at best. Even though 2007′s Ghost Rider nearly doubled it’s money in Worldwide box office and won it’s opening weekend, I’d find it hard to believe the sequel could repeat that considering how ticket sales have been declining since 2007 -not including 2009- and how many people will avoid it simply because they got burned by the first. That’s not to say it’s an impossible task. Ang Lee’s Hulk was disliked by a lot of people, yet the sequel was solid and felt more in line with what an Incredible Hulk movie should be: full of him smashing things. Read the rest of this entry »
