With The Office coming back next month (Thank God!), I thought I would update and “re-post” a list from last October that I’m sure a lot of you didn’t catch the first time around. Much like Lost, The Office started the season strong and seems to get funnier and funnier every year. Let’s hope that trend continues next month.

Summer 2008 is shaping up to be one of the biggest summer movie seasons ever. There are four movies coming out this summer that I am particularly excited to see. Three are “comic book” movies and one features the return of an old friend. They are listed below in order of my “excitement level.” Trailers are also present for your

After a brief hiatus . . . Flicks Lists is back! And with it comes No. 69 in Flicks Lists' Top 100 Movies - The 40-Year-Old Virgin, which is one of my favorite movies of the last five years or so. Be sure to check back for new posts, but be gentle, I need to get back in a groove, so expect posting frequency to increase over

I have a confession to make. Actually a couple of them.

1. This movie escaped me for several years. I recently saw it and loved it; and

2. I almost ranked this movie a lot higher than it should have been for this list.

This list is my Top 100 (Favorite) Movies. I used several factors to rank the movies including the number of times I

You can stop worrying. I’m back!!

That being said, the next couple of months are going to be extremely busy for me. No, unfortunately not with this blog, but with real life. My goal will be to post three times a week - some weeks it will be more and some weeks it will be less. Just bear with me.

Let’s start 2008 with a post I’ve wanted

I just finished watching the new trailer for The Dark Knight for about the twentieth time. Every time I watch it I get more excited for this flick - July 18, 2008 can’t get here fast enough. Here are ten reasons why (in no particular order):

1. Christopher Nolan
Has he failed us? No. His track record is impeccable and everything I have se

Top 10 "Holiday Season" Movies'

OK, so I don’t have that many favorite “Christmas movies.” My solution? Create a list with my favorite Christmas movies and some flicks that aren’t “Christmas movies” but take place during the holiday season. Here it is:

10. Home Alone (1990)

Come on. You know you like this flick.

I am a big fan of comic book movies and I assume a lot of you are as well. That’s probably a safe assumption because Hollywood has been churning out these moneymakers on a consistent basis since the first X-Men flick was released back in 2000. That trend will continue in 2008 with Iron Man, The Dark Knight and The Incredible Hulk all hitting

I’ll tell you what I believe in: funny sports movies, opening presents Christmas morning not Christmas Eve, and Tim Robbins playing a major league pitching prospect who should make it to the show if his eyelids don’t get jammed. That’s what I believe in.

Bull Durham is a classic baseball movie with a love story to boot (if you’re into that

You either love this flick or hate it. I understand why some hate Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. It is silly and the humor isn’t for everyone (I can hear some of you now, “Humor? What humor?”) Well, I like silly humor and Will Ferrell, in a classic performance for him, so I love this flick.rnrnThe supporting cast of Anchorman is g

Full Metal Jacket gives you two movies in one! That’s right, this film artfully fuses two movies together to create one great flick, which has writer/director Stanley Kubrick’s fingerprints all over it.

The first half of the film focuses on newly recruited (or drafted) Marines as they endure basic training with an intense drill sergeant, G

Ever feel like you don’t fit in - anywhere? Well, the lead character in Breaking Away, Dave Stohler (played by Dennis Christopher), sure can relate.

He didn’t fit in with his “Cutter” friends (he wanted to be an Italian bicyclist). He didn’t fit in at home (he and his father didn’t see eye-to-eye and his mother had some problems relating).

Regular readers of this blog know that I am a big fan of the Coen Brothers and couldn’t wait to see No Country for Old Men. Well, I had to wait a while to see it (family obligations over the holiday), but I did finally see it this week.

I was a little worried that this flick wouldn’t live up to the hype, but it did - the Coen Brothers are

Is When Harry Met Sally a chick flick? Some may argue it is, but I tend to disagree. It’s a love story, but it’s also a story about human interaction and how men and women relate on a very fundamental level. Wait, now that I wrote that, it sure sounds like a chick flick, doesn’t it?rnrnOK, maybe it is, but I don’t care. Besides, this isn’
