Flickchart Matchup of the Day
Whether I like it or not, the oeuvre of Rob Reiner (65 today) occupied a substantial part of my movie watching as I was growing up. I noticed that no one has commented on these two Stephen King adaptations, so here’s your chance:

Movies to See Before You Die: “All About Eve”
1, Mar 2011
With the Oscars recently wrapped up, it’s time to take a look at a movie that dominated the Academy Awards like few have before and few will again. This film was not only nominated for a record 14 Oscars (a feat that’s only been tied by the juggernaut that was Titanic). Under the guise of the New York stage, All About Eve – known by some as “the bitchiest movie ever made” – puts the backstage politics of show business on screen like no film had before.

Do you consider any of this week’s Blu-ray and DVD releases to be one of the Best Movies of All-Time?

Flickchart Ranking: #1761

The first Iron Man was a lot of fun but this one fell into the common superhero movie sequel trap where there’s just too many people doing too many things to make a great, focused movie. Still pretty good though.
The Killer Inside Me (DVD & Blu-ray | R | 2010)
 |
How would you rank it amongst the best crime dramas of all time?
Flickchart Ranking: #7156

The most interesting DVD release of the week. Casey Affleck and Jessica Alba in a “controversial” movie about what happens when you embrace your dark side.
Get Him to the Greek (DVD & Blu-ray | R | 2010)
 |
How would you rank it amongst the best road movies of all time?
Flickchart Ranking: #4200

Jonah Hill and Russell Brand in a well received comedy. Something about Russell Brand is instantly off-putting to me. I think it’s his beard.
Good (DVD & Blu-ray | R | 2008)

Very silly set-up (small group of friends trapped way up in the air on a ski lift for a few days while the park is closed) but it is winning a majority of its Flickchart battles…
Superman/Batman: Apocalypse (DVD &Blu-ray | PG-13 | 2010)
 |
How would you rank it amongst the best animated superhero movies of all time?

I absolutely love these DC Comic animated movies. The more Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, and Justice League out, the better.

Reel Rumbles #10 – “Donnie Darko” vs. “Memento”
20, Nov 2009
In This Corner…
Like the universe itself, film is a fragile medium that can produce monumental changes with just the slightest tweaks, twists, or turns. In life, a decision to stop off for a loaf of bread and a six-pack of beer on the way home from work can mean the difference between a lonely weekend and meeting the love of your life. Likewise in film, a change of genre can result in a vast improvement over a weaker effort or a new creation of wonder and excitement equivalent to its original source. Such is the case in this week’s Reel Rumbles as two modern classics go head-to-head, each taking a previous film comedy and twisting the concepts into different genres for fresh, exciting, and provocative filmmaking. Taking its cue from the less than stellar Dana Carvey comedy Clean Slate (1994), Memento revitalizes the film noir genre with a mystery told in reverse, while a touch of teenage angst and ominous foreshadowing makes a classic like Harvey (1950) into a dark and supernatural tale of apocalyptic proportions. So question your identity, follow the clues, and leap through the time travel continuum, it’s time for Donnie Darko vs. Memento.
