"It’s been more than 100 years since the Philadelphia Quakers changed their name to the Philadelphia Philadelphians, which was thankfully shortened to “Phillies” very quickly, probably by printers who were afraid of using up all of their ‘P’s in the printing press. Since being founded in 1883, they’ve been one of the most tenacious teams in baseball, winning six pennants, and the World Series in 1980. In fact, in all of American sports (not just baseball), the Phillies are the team that’s been in one city with one name for the longest time. They’re one game away from another World Series win tonight, despite being the Major League team with the most losses in history. We celebrate their scrappiness with a list of quintessential Philadelphia movies. Check them out after the break.

"Sometimes I really wish David Bordwell’s blog permitted comments. Mostly it’s better that it doesn’t, but the man’s last post has made me want to discuss the art of movie titles for a whole week now. And it didn’t help that coinciding in time with Bordwell’s post was another one of those sidebars in Entertainment Weekly pointing out some new movies with misleading titles. Yes, Lakeview Terrace does sound like a period romance, as do many other badly titled films (Elizabethtown and Wicker Park come to mind). This weekend also sees two new movies employing the method of borrowing song titles, which are typically not appropriate (Ghost Town seems more like a horror western hybrid, while My Best Friend’s Girl

"It was interesting to follow-up the real Indiana Jones with these movies, which features one of the most prominent Indy-Lite characters to be developed in recent years. Nicholas Cage and his cast of cronies run, jump and ponder amiably through Book of Secrets, which I actually watched first, as they try to stay one step ahead of the bad guys, who are after the same City of Gold that the good guys are. There’s nothing that they’re asked to do by the plot that’s all that engaging and the strength of the film is dependent largely by the action just never slowing down enough for the audience to actually think about what’s going on. If they were given that opportunity some bad things would begin to happen, including them starting to likely laugh at the action unfolding on-screen. While enjoyable enough as some fluffy entertainment there’s nothing beyond the surface layer. It’s like reading an early Grisham novel in that all the characters are dependent on everyone else being as illo ... "

"This is not going to be one of those columns that goes into a lengthy diatribe about the influence on Dr. Indiana Jones had on this reviewer’s life as a child. I refuse to prattle on about owning a fedora and a bullwhip used to scare the bejeezus out of the family dog, or the backyard films created as homage to “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and the countless scars and bruises that serve as a testament to my inexperience and/or stupidity in attempts to replicate the adventures of the intrepid archeologist. It seems that the prerequisite in reviewing this latest installment in the Indiana Jones canon, “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” has almost every critic launching into some wistful rant on its impact of his/her life. And while I am certainly one to appreciate the personal power of cinematic experiences, I think this self-indulgent therapy session approach is a tad tiresome now.

"I was one of the many who enjoyed Morgan Spurlock’s debut feature documentary, Super Size Me, but mostly only because it came at the tail end of an anti-fast-food kick for me that began with Eric Schlosser’s 2001 book Fast Food Nation. By the time Spurlock showed up on the big screen with his silly McDonalds-only diet/experiment, I had already given up fast food two years prior, had lost 65 lbs. over the course of a summer (only partially as a result of not eating fast food, of course) and wasn’t exactly in need of convincing. But I was in the mood for some comedy, and Spurlock entertained as needed. Did he deserve the Oscar nomination? Not at all. This time around he’s even less of a pioneer. In fact, I think the Where is Osama Bin Laden? jokes were already dated when Super Size Me hit theaters. This isn’t to say that I think the search for the terrorist should be over, nor that I think we should shrug off the topic of Bin Laden and A "

"I think that for every bad film Nicolas Cage makes, somebody should burn one of his fingertips on a stove. Perhaps he will learn eventually. This film was crap. Don't watch it. Read a book. It's better for you. "

"National Treasure, a Walt Disney movie directed by Jerry Bruckheimer, is exactly the kind of movie I would have loved when I was ten. It has a basis in US history and is full of adventure after adventure and clue after clue as the dedicated good guy searches for the clue to the hidden treasure of the Knights Templar while simultaneously fighting off the bad guys and the benighted government officials. Of course there is the requisite side kick (a computer wiz) and the desirable girl friend (bland but curious). The whole caper honours brains, dedication, and goodness. However, if you view this movie from a critical adult perspective, it is hopelessly bad. Warning to all adults: Disney and Bruckheimer have recently hired a script writer to come up with a sequel. "
