Seven Sins Marathon Watching Order


Alright alright alright.  With the Reimagined Shakespeare Marathon coming to an end, it’s time to get the order of the next marathon ready.  This is fairly simple since I already have the lineup ready.

The next marathon is the Seven Sins Marathon.  This marathon has each of the seven deadly sins represented my one movie.  There is also the capping of the marathon with the Fincher classic, Se7en.  Here’s the order in which they will be watched.

Thinner (1996) [Gluttony]
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948) [Greed]
Office Space (1999) [Sloth]
Shame (2011) [Lust]
A Night To Remember (1958) [Pride]
Envy (2004) [Envy]
Death Wish (1974) [Wrath]
Se7en (1995)

Those are the eight movies in the order they will be watched.  I know that doesn’t matter to anyone because I’m the only person watching these movies in this order for the reason of this marathon.  But I felt the need to share the order that I’m watching them in so as to give people the chance to watch along if they so choose.  Which they won’t choose to do.  Whatever.

That’s the marathon for June.  We’ll get that going within the next couple days.

Is "Real Steel" Like "Over the Top"?

When I was going through my weekly movie binge a couple weeks ago, I stumbled upon two movies that I had never seen before that tackled a very similar story.   It was an odd thing to have happen because I didn’t know of any similarities between the two movies.   The first was Real Steel, a movie about a man who participates in robot boxing while bonding with the son that he had left years before.   The second was Over the Top, a movie about a man who participates in arm wrestling while bonding with the son that he had left years before.   Similar?   I think so. Let’s begin with Real Steel.   I watched this one because, why the hell not?   I quite enjoyed the movie and by the end I was rooting for Hugh Jackman’s character to help his robot, Atom, to a victory.   The thing to point out about Real Steel is how good the visual effects were.   I wasn’t expecting too much going in, but I thought they masterfully crafted each robot in a way that it entirely fit its surroundings and didn’t

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Season 2, Episode 8: The Power Stealer

Image
Last time we sat down with the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers , Tommy was going through some serious stuff.   His powers were running low because Lord Zedd was targeting him.   He felt hopeless.   His friends were comforting him.   There was also a Robo Goat trying to take a powerful sword and use it against the Earth.   There were fights all over the place and an emotional hook that was unmatched in any episode that wasn’t in a multi-part arc. This episode, there might be follow-up to the Tommy storyline.   It would be nice to see more of the struggle with his powers.   Right now, that’s the one throughline that has been playing out.   II hope this episode continues to have some sort of meaning to the overall story, instead of being a self-contained and meaningless.   The show needs to grow and evolve, with a storyline that builds to something significant.   Having episodes that keep the story at a standstill is boring.   The story needs to move forward.   Will this episode d

A Short Description of how Baby's Day Out (1994) is a Live Action Cartoon

Animated movies have been a large fixture throughout cinematic history.   There is currently an Academy Award category devoted entirely to animated features.   They are an important part of the cinematic landscape.   Movies would be completely different if not for the animated films that have been popular throughout the past century. Children have always been a large part of the popularity of cartoons.   This has not been solely a movie based genre.   Television also thrives on animated shows.   As a child, I can remember watching cartoons on Saturday mornings.   In the children’s cartoons, characters could be forced into dangerous predicaments, get injured or nearly killed, and continue on with their lives as if nothing ever happened to them.   This was the way of cartoons such as Looney Toons , where Elmer Fudd, Wile E. Coyote, Daffy Duck, and Yosemite Sam would always suffer great physical trauma, then return to their normal selves in the next scene. This is probably
