Matchup of the Day
William Hurt and Holly Hunter were born today. They both starred in Broadcast News if you want to seem them work together (here’s a Flickchart review of the film). Or, you can try this Hurt vs. Hunter double feature:
Altered States vs. Raising Arizona
William Hurt made his motion picture debut with Altered States. It comes from the mind of Ken Russell, who is known for his outlandish style. If you haven’t seen the movie, this montage set to the Jefferson Airplane song “White Rabbit” should give you an idea of what it’s all about: Read the rest of this entry »

Flickchart Matchup of the Day
According to History.com, NASCAR was founded on this day back in 1948. I don’t know much about auto racing, but I have watched a couple of movies (from 1978) with some burning rubber:
The Driver vs. Zero to Sixty
I like Ryan O’Neal. Or, at least I like him in Barry Lyndon, that being my second favorite Kubrick film. I also like Isabelle Adjani, particularly for her wild-eyed performance in Possession. Not only are they both in The Driver, but there is some top-notch car chasing to behold as well. While the plot is your basic tenacious cop vs. cool as ice criminal situation, it’s the no-nonsense action and hard-edged tone that make it worth watching.

Do you consider any of this week’s Blu-ray and DVD releases to be one of the Best Movies of All-Time?
Iron Man 2 (DVD & Blu-ray | PG-13 | 2010)
 |
How would you rank it amongst the best superhero 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)
 |
How would you rank it amongst the best war dramas of all time?
Flickchart Ranking: Just Added

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)
 |

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