Sulmoney’s #2 – Slumdog Millionaire

Oh Hans, how juvenile is the Cookie Monster. Don’t force me to call Bert and Ernie to yapp you. Wait, too late. The Dark Knight is a masterpiece. There is no other way to put it. For me though, I had gotten The Dark Knight overdose, having seen it 3 (and a half) times during [...]

Hans’s #2 – The Dark Knight

Even though I enjoyed Pineapple Express, I’d be remiss if I didn’t scold Sulmoney for ranking a stoner comedy higher than modern classics on his list like Wall-E, The Wrestler, and RocknRolla. BAM! See what I did there? No? Maybe cookie monster can explain it for you: I’m actually glad that at least one big [...]

Sulmoney’s #3 – Pineapple Express

There is no doubt that Doubt (shoot me now) is a great piece of theatre, either in the playhouse, or the cinema house. Hans is spot in saying that this film is tailor made for actors to strut their craft, and with less than capable thespians, Doubt would have been a debacle. The parallels to [...]

Hans’s #3 – Doubt

Well unfortunately, I’m not sure there’s much to bash in Sulmoney’s #4 pick of The Dark Knight. What can I say? Even a broken clock is right twice a day. …Sulmoney is the broken clock. Here, finally, is my #3. Doubt In Doubt, a curmedgeonly nun and Catholic school principal (Meryl Streep) works tirelessly to [...]

Sulmoney’s #4 – The Dark Knight

Well, I think we have Wall-E covered pretty extensively. And I am sure that we will be seeing my #4 movie pick come up in your top 3 sooner rather than later, and I beat you to it once again. Again, Wall-E is a transcendent animated film, one that has universal appeal, and it is [...]

Hans’s #4 – Wall-E

Hmmm, RocknRolla… Isn’t that the movie with the multi-ethnic cast of idiotic hoodlums who sport uniquely outlandish accents and venture off on seemingly unrelated yet equally misguided criminal enterprises only to eventually cross paths in a climactic, blood-drenched flustercuck supported by alternative rock music and overly-frenetic editing that’s reminiscent of 1990s music videos from TRL [...]

Sulmoney’s #5 – RocknRolla

We’re getting to the parts where it’s going to be harder and harder to bash each other’s choices. Luckily, I am still here to provide controversial picks that will leave you grasping for breath from shock (and awe). But we shall get to the dawn of my top 5 in just a moment, I just [...]

Hans’s #5 – Iron Man

BWAHAHA! Once again, Sulmoney old friend, you embarrass yourself by populating your top 10 list with overly pompous, formulaic dreck like– wait, Wall-E? Damn, that one was actually pretty good. But now that leaves me with two paragraphs of the snarkiest, wittiest and most obscenely malicious insults I’ve ever crafted, and no helpless victim to [...]

Sulmoney’s #6 – Wall-E

Frost/Nixon, a very solid and safe choice at #6. Here is a flick that is nearly universally acclaimed by critics, from a director that everyone knows, but in the end, no one cares to watch it. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that everyone has Nixon-on-film overload, or that the subject matter [...]

Hans’s #6 – Frost/Nixon

Brad Pitt is not a great actor. He was awkward and stilted in Se7en, terrible in Troy, cartoonish in Burn After Reading, and he’s pretty much played himself in every other notable movie he’s made (Fight Club, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Ocean’s Everything). Sorry Sulmoney, but his performance in Benjamin Button was not “wonderful” and [...]
