Body: Based on the longest running animated series in the history of US television, we get to see the famed residents of "Springfield, USA" say and do things that they can't do because of FCC regulations which govern US television. "Marge Simpson" (voiced by Julie Kavner) becomes worried that the end of the world is near when her senile father-in-law, "Grampa Simpson" (Dan Castellaneta) recites a cryptic message during the church service they attended. After her dim-witted husband, "Homer" (voiced by Castellaneta) brings home a pig, which he saved from slaughter after it was used in a "Krusty Burger" restaurant commercial, it appears that the prediction "Grampa" spouted in his "senior moment," as "Homer" coined it, was coming true. In typical "Homer" fashion, he contaminates "Springfield Lake" instead of getting rid of the pig waste container he haphazardly built properly. But, can you blame him for not wanting a free donut? The Environmental Protection Agency, under orders of "President Schwarzenegger" (voiced by Castellaneta), places a glass dome over the town without a state (which is a long-running joke in the TV series), and basically wipes "Springfield" off the map. However, the residents of the town have to fend for themselves as the town resources rapidly dwindle. Leaving the town in more chaos than one of "Homer's" schemes. This movie has the feel of a 90-minute movie of the TV series, with some subtle differences. First, we get a modified opening sequence which features more than just the "Simpson" family. In the opening sequence, we only get one joke that appears in every episode's opening -- "Bart" (voiced by Nancy Cartwight) writing on his classroom's chalk board a funny line ("I WILL NOT ILLEGALLY DOWNLOAD THIS MOVIE" in this case). We also get some unique animation not seen in the TV show. Here, we get some shadows cast by the characters. We also get some computer-generated scenes inserted into traditional scenes for some camera pans that couldn't be done with the traditional animation the show uses. Because this is a movie for the silver screen, this movie gets away with a lot more thing that they wouldn't on television. One thing this movie has is frontal male nudity briefly during an incident with "Bart". You also get swearing by one of the major characters, which you never hear in the series (something interrupts the swearing on the TV series). One thing this movie absolutely fails to do is keep the laughs going. In 90-minutes, I laughed at least five times. Out of all those laughs, I probably laughed out loud maybe three times. A lot of fans and critics have said that the show, as of late, has declined in quality. If you ask me, the show's poor quality lately really shows in the movie. They tried too hard to produce a laugh from the audience, and it seriously shows. Another problem with this movie is that they tried to give 320 characters seen in the show some on-camera time. And less than 2% of those characters get any lines. To make things worse, they shoehorned the majority of the 320 characters into an angry mob scene. The movie's musical score is completely forgettable. All I can recall hearing is music heard in the TV series. They even had the popular punk rock group, Green Day appear in the movie. However, we don't hear them perform one of their songs, we get them performing their version of the lyric-less "Simpsons" theme music. This movie is targeted to the fans of the show. They do not attempt to bring in a new audience at all. I've seen some episodes of the series, but none of the episodes aired just prior to and immediately after the movie's release. If they tried to keep the movie in continuity to the show, I have no clue. I can not recommend this movie unless you are a die-hard fan of the series.

Body: Here's my list of my favorites that were released in my little beach community, as we are not always privy to some of the more indie releases, so this is by no means complete (I have also eliminted the ones previously discussed): “The Simpsons Movie” – In a time where two-dimensional animation was considered dead and buried, our omnipresent family rose from the ashes like a yellow-skinned phoenix and demonstrated that whip-smart writing trumps technology any day. Let’s see those flaccid phonies over at “Family Guy” do that two decades from now. “Breach” – Chris Cooper will be completely overlooked at awards season for his riveting role as former FBI senior agent Robert Hanssen, which is just as criminal as Hanssen himself. Pious, manipulative and ultimately tragic, Cooper keeps up captivated on his every move to elude his colleagues as he secretly feeds information about his agency overseas. Even though the film’s conclusion had been played out in papers throughout Hanssen’s trial, the film manages to hold the audience captive through every twist of his labyrinth of lies. “Ratatouille” – After the stale exhaust of “Cars” cleared, Pixar returned to form with perhaps one of its most accomplished, nuanced works. With visuals as sumptuous as the meals it describes, “Ratatouille” is yet another feast offered from the Iron Chefs of animation. “Michael Clayton” – George Clooney gives his finest performance without having to lose a fingernail to pliers. It’s slow and steady, which hypothetically should win a race or two. But it’s diminutive box office will unfortunately leave it behind for future generations to deem it classic. “Grindhouse” – I know it’s two films. I know that one (“Planet Terror”) is inferior. But this was the single-most loving tribute to the actual long-lost art of watching movies as a communal experience. And while “Terror’s” director, Robert Rodriguez got all the superficial elements of the era right (the missing reel, the grainy, choppy print), it was Quentin Tarantino’s “Death Proof” that gave us the authentic rush of watching a loving homage to the genre. Now that they have been severed and sold separately for their DVD release, they would not appear on the list. But for the time that they both shared the screen with a handful of mock exploitation trailers, it was pure geek bliss. “Into the Wild” – One of those Halley’s Comet moments where the film exceeds the book, “Wild” follows a clueless little rich boy on his self-absorbed nature walk into the harsh Alaskan terrain. While director Sean Penn’s lens may incite viewers to answer their own call of the wild, Emile Hirsch’s heartbreaking performance may have them readjusting their travel agendas. “Eastern Promises” – Sorry, but director David Cronenberg’s “A History of Violence” has nothing on this layered Eastern Bloc crime drama. “Promises” got lots of notoriety for star Viggo Mortensen exposing his little hobbit in a bathhouse sequence, but his performance is equally naked. He’s a man trapped in a world of violence, but who also appreciates the beauty of life on the other side. It’s a film that blossoms wider the more it is examined.

Body: Those with Netflix will know instantly to what I am referring here. Ever log on to Netflix and check out your Recommendations page? I normally don't. I try to use a more intuitive and organic approach to discovering films, and enjoy making it more of a "found item" journey than one in which one corporation tries to force-feed me the goods of another corporation. But every once in a while, I like to check the Recommendations page out, mainly because its a quick and simple way to add more ratings to Netflix (which I am, now that I think of it, unsure of why I even do that since, ultimately, the only real reason to do that is to get things recommended to you -- which I don't like...)Most of the time Netflix makes some sort of sense with their recommendations. Take, for instance, the fact they are recommending Madea's Family Reunion to me because I highly rated both Malcolm X and The Color Purple. Recommending Futurama Season 3 to me because I loved The Simpsons Movie, Futurama Season 1 and The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror is a no-brainer. I get that, even though they should probably figure that if I am that far into the Groening oeuvre, then I am probably hip to Season 3 of Futurama already.But then, Netflix produces some amazing whoppers. I am reminded of the Patton Oswalt bit about his first experience with TiVo, where he watches The Man from Laramie, a classic Anthony Mann western, and the next morning, TiVo has completely filled up with "horsie shows," a phrase Oswalt speaks in TiVo's voice, which most of us would recognize to be that of a stereotypical mentally disabled person. TiVo throws a fit trying to defend its decision, and Oswalt moans "Thank god, you don't have retard strength, TiVo..."Hopefully, Netflix doesn't either, because I am launching a new series here, in which I will give any of my readers out there the title of the films that Netflix uses as the basis of its recommendation, and then a couple of days from now, I will let you know the actual title of the movie it actually thought would be a decent match to the previous set of films. I will even give you some capsule hints to each "enjoyed" film so that you can see just how far-ranging Netflix has gone to suggest something to me. If you can actually match my answer, I will try to come up with some sort of prize. I will be completely honest, but I can almost guarantee you, there is not a single chance in all of the Chinese hells (the Chinese have a lot of hells, you know) that you will guess it. If you do guess it, then you are probably a drone recommendation program for Netflix...NETFLUXXED QUIZ #1Because you enjoyed:1. Seven Chances (1925, directed by Buster Keaton, silent, black and white comedy, Buster runs down a mountain chased by a zillion women who want to marry him to get to his fortune)2. The Duellists (1977, Ridley Scott's directorial debut, based on a Joseph Conrad story, Keith Carradine and Harvey Keitel are soldier rivals who duel with swords throughout the Napoleonic age)3. Jeeves and Wooster: Season Three (1992, classic British TV comedy, P.G. Wodehouse, Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie doing what they do best... make Jen and I laugh uproariously)Based on these choices, can you guess what Netflix recommended? The answer on Friday...

Body: Earlier this year, I thought that it was way too late for a Sex and the City movie. But then it made a ton of cash, so I guess I was wrong. Still, I’m going to continue similarly thinking it’s too late for another X-Files movie. And even if I’m proven wrong and the masses get out to theaters this weekend in search of the truth, I’ll keep on believing that X-Files: I Want to Believe is way past its time. To celebrate Mulder and Scully’s tardiness, here are 10 other movies that came out too late: The Godfather Part III (Released in: 1990; Should have been released in: 1976) - Never mind the fact that had this third installment been made years earlier, Sofia Coppola wouldn’t have been cast and therefore wouldn’t have given her terribly infamous performance. The more important matter is that sequels arriving more than a decade after the previous installment are almost always doomed. The longer the wait, the higher the expectations, and the greater the disappointment. Of course, not everyone agrees that it was also too late for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Live Free or Die Hard, Rambo, Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, etc. Snakes on a Plane (Released in: 2006; Should have been released in: 2005) - By the time it finally hit theaters, there was already a major backlash to the hype behind SoaP, and that backlash was apparently well-deserved when audiences saw just how lame the movie ended up being. It was an early indicator that a lot of internet buzz and popular viral marketing does not necessarily equal a lot of money at the box office. More than a year later, though, fears of another SoaP-like disappointment came with the hype behind Cloverfield, yet the monster movie fared much better. Of course, no movie seemed to be more ridiculous a web sensation than The Dark Knight, the record-breaking success of which could still prompt more SoaP-type disasters in the future. Home on the Range (Released in: 2004; Should have been released in: 1994) - When you Google the words “ill-timed” “release” and “film”, this is the first thing that comes up, probably because it’s legendary for marking the (temporary) end of 2-D Disney animation. It actually came out almost a decade after the first Pixar feature signaled the doomed future of these kinds of films, and a number of 2-D animations were actually quite successful in that ten years. But Home on the Range is notable for both having begun preproduction before the release of the first Toy Story and for having been announced as the last traditionally animated Disney feature. Now, of course, the studio has changed its mind, so we’ll just have to see if Home on the Range was indeed too late or simply too bad. Infamous (Released in: 2006; Should have been released in: 2005) - One of many unfortunate movies to come out on the heels of another film dealing with the same subject. Similarly late, similarly redundant efforts include Deep Impact, Mars Attacks!, Volcano, The Forbidden Dance, Red Planet, Wyatt Earp and Valmont. But Infamous seemed more the loser of its race because of Phillip Seymour Hoffman’s Oscar win for Capote. The Simpsons Movie (Released in: 2007; Should have been released in: 1997) - It may be funny enough, but this movie still suffered a bit from being past the TV series’ prime. A lot more people would have been a lot more excited about the spin-off if it had come out ten years earlier. The Onion Movie (Released in 2008; Should have been released in: 2003) - Should this not be included because it actually never came out in theaters in the U.S.? Whatever. I’m still accepting it as one of the worst examples of shelving a film for way too long. From the unbearable bits I attempted to watch, the jokes were quite dated, though I have to admit they might not have been all that funny when (mostly) filmed five years ago. As an alternate, in case you don’t accept this title: The Adventures of Pluto Nash, which was also shelved for a few years, but which was probably made too late anyway. Get Smart (Released in 2008; Should have been released in: 1978) - When it opened earlier this summer, I wrote a list about how this movie was obsolete before it was even made. Check out those 10 reasons here. Eyes Wide Shut (Released in: 1999; Should have been released in: 1998) - It may still have been received as poorly, but if this film had been able to be finished and to come out before Stanley Kubrick’s death, it might have at least been a stronger work. Angela’s Ashes (Released in: 1999; Should have been released in: 1995) - How long is too late for a film adaptation of a best-selling book? Considering there are still successful movies based on works such as “The Iliad” and “Beowulf”, there’s apparently no limit. But for some reason this cinematic version of Frank McCourt’s wildly popular memoir bombed at the box office. I guess compared to those early works, “Angela’s Ashes” had been read by everyone in America by the time the movie arrived, and few of its fans needed to go through the depressing events a second time. Glitter (Released in: 2001; Should have been released in: 1991) - Maybe if it had opened before 9/11, as it was supposed to, instead of directly following the tragedy. Or, better yet, maybe if it had opened in the mid ’90s before people stopped giving a damn about Mariah, it wouldn’t have bombed so horribly. Actually, because Mariah eventually became popular again, and thanks to VH1, so did the 1980s, Glitter may also be considered a movie that was too early. Perhaps one day it can find success as a Broadway show, a la Xanadu. Originally posted on:SpoutBlog

But then it made a ton of cash, so I guess I was wrong. Still, I’m going to continue similarly thinking it’s too late for another X-Files movie. And even if I’m proven wrong and the masses get out to theaters this weekend in search of the truth, I’ll keep on believing that X-Files: I Want to Believe is way past its time. To celebrate Mulder and Scully’s tardiness, here are 10 other movies that came out too late: The Godfather Part III (Released in: 1990; Should have been released in: 1976) - Never mind the fact that had this third installment been made years earlier, Sofia Coppola wouldn’t have been cast and therefore wouldn’t have given her terribly infamous performance. The more important matter is that sequels arriving more than a decade after the previous installment are almost always doomed. The longer the wait, the higher the expectations, and the greater the disappointment. Of course, not everyone agrees that it was also too late for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Live Free or Die Hard, Rambo, Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, etc. Snakes on a Plane (Released in: 2006; Should have been released in: 2005) - By the time it finally hit theaters, there was already a major backlash to the hype behind SoaP, and that backlash was apparently well-deserved when audiences saw just how lame the movie ended up being. It was an early indicator that a lot of internet buzz and popular viral marketing does not necessarily equal a lot of money at the box office. More than a year later, though, fears of another SoaP-like disappointment came with the hype behind Cloverfield, yet the monster movie fared much better. Of course, no movie seemed to be more ridiculous a web sensation than The Dark Knight, the record-breaking success of which could still prompt more SoaP-type disasters in the future. Home on the Range (Released in: 2004; Should have been released in: 1994) - When you Google the words “ill-timed” “release” and “film”, this is the first thing that comes up, probably because it’s legendary for marking the (temporary) end of 2-D Disney animation. It actually came out almost a decade after the first Pixar feature signaled the doomed future of these kinds of films, and a number of 2-D animations were actually quite successful in that ten years. But Home on the Range is notable for both having begun preproduction before the release of the first Toy Story and for having been announced as the last traditionally animated Disney feature. Now, of course, the studio has changed its mind, so we’ll just have to see if Home on the Range was indeed too late or simply too bad. Infamous (Released in: 2006; Should have been released in: 2005) - One of many unfortunate movies to come out on the heels of another film dealing with the same subject. Similarly late, similarly redundant efforts include Deep Impact, Mars Attacks!, Volcano, The Forbidden Dance, Red Planet, Wyatt Earp and Valmont. But Infamous seemed more the loser of its race because of Phillip Seymour Hoffman’s Oscar win for Capote. The Simpsons Movie (Released in: 2007; Should have been released in: 1997) - It may be funny enough, but this movie still suffered a bit from being past the TV series’ prime. A lot more people would have been a lot more excited about the spin-off if it had come out ten years earlier. The Onion Movie (Released in 2008; Should have been released in: 2003) - Should this not be included because it actually never came out in theaters in the U.S.? Whatever. I’m still accepting it as one of the worst examples of shelving a film for way too long. From the unbearable bits I attempted to watch, the jokes were quite dated, though I have to admit they might not have been all that funny when (mostly) filmed five years ago. As an alternate, in case you don’t accept this title: The Adventures of Pluto Nash, which was also shelved for a few years, but which was probably made too late anyway. Get Smart (Released in 2008; Should have been released in: 1978) - When it opened earlier this summer, I wrote a list about how this movie was obsolete before it was even made. Check out those 10 reasons here. Eyes Wide Shut (Released in: 1999; Should have been released in: 1998) - It may still have been received as poorly, but if this film had been able to be finished and to come out before Stanley Kubrick’s death, it might have at least been a stronger work. Angela’s Ashes (Released in: 1999; Should have been released in: 1995) - How long is too late for a film adaptation of a best-selling book? Considering there are still successful movies based on works such as “The Iliad” and “Beowulf”, there’s apparently no limit. But for some reason this cinematic version of Frank McCourt’s wildly popular memoir bombed at the box office. I guess compared to those early works, “Angela’s Ashes” had been read by everyone in America by the time the movie arrived, and few of its fans needed to go through the depressing events a second time. Glitter (Released in: 2001; Should have been released in: 1991) - Maybe if it had opened before 9/11, as it was supposed to, instead of directly following the tragedy. Or, better yet, maybe if it had opened in the mid ’90s before people stopped giving a damn about Mariah, it wouldn’t have bombed so horribly.

Body: I really love this theme. You have all seen these scenes from time to time in various films. Sometimes it's silly and comical such as the angry mob chasing Homer and family in The Simpsons Movie. Other times it is used to argue deeper philisophical positions like in The Ox-Bow Incident. (Henry Fonda and William Wellman got together again to make the similarly themed and much more popular 12 Angry Men) German director, Fritz Lang was familiar with this theme as well. The last 15 minutes or so of his silent film, Metropolis is almost completly an angry mob chase scene. Later, he would make M, (one of my all time favorites) in which the angry mob and their vigilante justice makes up the complete theme of the film. Then there was Fury, his first American film, a clear indictment of lynch mob mentality. So, there you have it. What do you think? What are some of your favorite scenes? What about the political and philisophical positions portrayed by this theme? Have fun. Emery

Body: For crowd pleasing and beloved television properties, the transition from small to big screen can often be perilous. For reference, look no further than the original "Star Trek" series or the mid-80s live action incarnation of "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe." In the former´s case, the film adhered too closely to the series; in the latter…well, only the names and situations were ported over (the mistake being no continuity). So when TV´s First Family of Animation (sorry Griffins and Flintstones), the Simpsons, made the jump, the collective fan boy nation sighed, hoping to get a movie on par with the best of the series instead of the maligned recent seasons. Thankfully, "The Simpsons Movie" brings together the best aspects of the series into what is one of the funniest movies of the year (the other being the animated "Ratatouille"). Yes, better than the undeservedly praised "Knocked Up." This movie is that good. When Homer dumps pig and human waste into a Springfield lake, the government (headed by President Schwarzenegger) throws a dome over the most polluted town in the world. The clan escapes to Alaska where they enjoy the quiet and picturesque beauty…until Tom Hanks encourages tourism to a new grand canyon somewhere between Capital City and Shelbyville. Yes, Springfield is going to be leveled. And only the Simpsons can save it. What is it about this family that compels us to watch them six times a day, buy the DVD´s and then fork over even more money to watch them on the big screen? That´s been answered in too-many-to-count interviews and news stories: we can identify with Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie in a way we can´t identify with many other pop culture icons. And yes, they are icons. After you have 400 episodes under your belt, you get "icon" status automatically. From the beginning of the film, in which Homer chastises the audience (both inside the movie and in the real theater) for paying to see something they can get for free to the end titles, when the family watches the credits to acknowledge the people who made the film, "The Simpsons Movie" is full of self-referential and audience-winking in-jokes; an outsider can understand Itchy and Scratchy, but someone who has watched the entire series knows how the cat and mouse have tried to kill each other. The extremes their battle is taken to jabs the viewer in the side with a whisper "Get It?" We do get it. We get how the movie and series is structured; the opening minutes of both versions dealing with an event only tangentially connected to the main plot. We understand in the middle of mayhem and chaos, this family comes together when they need to the most. We´re no longer worried when Homer strangles Bart, sending the boy´s tongue shooting out of his mouth; we know they will be the eventual heroes of the piece. We even know Homer will realize just how lucky he is to have Marge as a wife and will do anything to keep her safe. And we know to expect some sort of political or social conscious in the story. Global warming and pollution are the instigators here; past culprits have been gay marriage, alleged murder, business scam artists and shoplifting. In the midst of what we know, "The Simpsons Movie" is often sidesplitting, even though we´ve seen it dozens of times before. The silo holding Spider-Pig´s droppings which Homer dumped into the lake? The cops find it, though Homer doesn´t think anyone will come after him. Three seconds later, "Return to Homer Simpson (No Reward)" is revealed to have been scrolled on the opposite side of the silo. Of course Homer is an idiot-that´s what makes him our loveable Homer. And shortly afterward, with an angry mob in the yard, Homer worries they will hurt Marge and the kids. They won´t, someone yells out. Then someone remembers Grandpa; he can´t take the strain. And from the mob, Grandpa´s voice-he´s one of them. This isn´t highbrow entertainment; a slightly too long joke about various Springfield objects covering Bart´s penis as he skateboards naked through town is reminiscent of "Austin Powers" and should have been edited for, er, length. Pokes at religion, the Fox network, demonic possession, the government, puppy love and American military intelligence are all present and accounted for in just the ways we´d expect. If there is one problem with the film, it slows down to express sentimentality near the end without a joke or punch line for minutes on end. Sure, it´s needed and appreciated, but I squirmed in my seat just a bit knowing what Marge did to their wedding video. It´s uncomfortable, knowing full well we were laughing seconds before and praying we´ll be laughing in the very near future. Otherwise, "The Simpsons" is no longer the demonic program many people feared when it premiered in 1989. It´s actually wholesome entertainment, believe it or not. Only the showing of Bart´s "doodle" and his subsequent public shaming can be remotely offensive and, really, if you don´t know what you´re seeing, "it" doesn´t look like "it," if you get my meaning. This is a family and community working together to solve a problem. If that´s not family entertainment, I don´t know what is. This movie isn´t designed to withstand the ages and be criticized to within an inch of its death. No, it´s supposed to be enjoyed and laughed at. It´s supposed to allow the audience 80-something minutes of time with familiar characters in dark theater. Much like "Transformers" in all these respects, it wouldn´t be fair to pummel it from any critical viewpoint. "The Simpsons Movie" delivers on its promise to make the audience laugh. It shouldn´t be asked to do anything else. Of course it´s hopelessly illogical; that´s the point. "The Simpsons Movie" rates a 7.5 out of 10, making it one of the best times I´ve had the theater this year. With the sole exception of a minor slowdown, the movie is never boring and rarely without a laugh. It´s like going to see friends…just bigger and better drawn. It´s fun just like "Transformers" was and that´s all we can expect of it. "Citizen Kane" this isn´t. And it was never intended to be.

Body: Ok, so here's mine: 1. Madagascar - along with most other animated stuff people seem to not be able to get enough of, I'm pretty reserved. Honestly, I believe that the time of succesful animated movies, like the ones from the Disney era, has gone by. Now they seem to only be made for parents to entertain their children with something while they clean their house. As far as I'm concerned, anmation itself is not the only artistic merrit these movies should be judged by. 2. The Simpsons - I am actually very fond of the series, so I was very, very dissapointed by the movie. It really had nothing to offer, and although it had a few funny moments, it was mostly just boring. 3. The Notebook - Why everybody loves this film is beyond me. I find it cheap and pathetic. If you wanna see a truly great, artistic romance, see Atonement. 4. Wedding Crashers - This is just too dumb to watch. Even if it's a comedy, I cannot watch something that dumbs me down so much. These movies are simply made just to be box office hits, and for no other apparent reason. 5. Ocean's Twelve, Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous, and other ridiculous sequels of good movies.
