"Search for the Beast I, like my friend joem18b, agree that people way too often use the hyperbolic description of a movie they hate as "the worst movie ever". You will not hear me use this phrase unless I really mean it. For a long time I claimed the my least favorite movie ever was I Am Sam. Now, I haven't seen it in a while, nor would I want to, but I think I have finally found a movie that is so horrible in every single aspect of filmmaking that it surpasses even my disdain for the despicable, manipulative, false sentimentality of that film. Yes, Search for the Beast, the third of the Bigfoot themed films available on the four movie DVD Bigfoot Terror. I'm sure if I were able to go through the VHS collections of enough Americans I would be able to find some shitty movies that people made in their backyard in the 90s with no budget, and a lot of these would be worse than this film. The only difference is that somehow this movie was able to get video distribution through a dec ... "

"This blog entry is part of my "movie year countdown round #2". Read more about that here. The Kid Right up front I'll state that I tend to have an aversion to precocious kids in films. As an example, my stock answer for my least favorite movie ever is I Am Sam. It's hard for me to say why, and maybe it's a fault of my own character. I feel much more sympathetic to pathetic and somewhat dimwitted children like the kid in Bad Santa or Dawn Wiener in Welcome to the Dollhouse. In fact I think I've stated this precisely before in another blog, but I keep finding myself pointing it out. But it's actually really difficult to dislike Jackie Coogan in this film. He is adorable and talented. But I can't help but feel like my predilection here mig "

"It happened last year for Cate Blanchett. The actress starred in a biopic that critics ripped to shreds, a film that basically bombed at the (American) box office, and yet she managed to score a Best Actress nomination for her reprised performance as the titular monarch of Elizabeth: The Golden Age. Additionally, Blanchett earned another nomination for Best Supporting Actress the same year, for her portrayal of Bob Dylan in I’m Not There. Now Josh Brolin could achieve a similar feat this year, not just by earning separate nominations for playing the titular president of W. and portraying politician-turned-assassin Dan White in Milk, but also by overcoming the difficulty of earning recognition in a lead category for a film that otherwise is not very well regarded. Are Brolin’s hurdles higher than Blanchett’s, though? With all the praise he’s rece "

"MTV asks the question: Who is the next Dakota Fanning? Because now that the Princess of Precociousness is growing older (she recently turned 14), we apparently need to find a little girl to fill her old kid-size shoes. The most obvious suggestion is Dakota’s little sister, Elle, but MTV also mentions Little Miss Sunshine’s Abigail Breslin and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’s AnnaSophia Robb as possible contenders. However, considering that Robb is actually a couple months older than Dakota, she makes the least amount of sense. The truth is, the next “Dakota Fanning” (or “Jodie Foster” or “Drew Barrymore” or “Shirley Temple”) will come along when we aren’t necessarily looking, just as Dakota did with I Am Sam. But that is mostly a moot point anyway, because the conclusion of this MTV story is that Dakota hasn’t actually gone away — she is, herself, the new Dakota Fanning, or at least still the same old Dakota Fanning, alive and acting.
