Two rounds in and we have had two different winners. This round, we take a look at all the options for food outside of popcorn. It’s going to get a little strange. Starting with AMC, there are 11 options. My go to here are the mozzarella sticks, but they are not great once in a…

Pixar has been part of my life since the beginning. I can still remember seeing Toy Story at a theater in Florida as one of the first movies I saw in a theater, if not the very first. I’ve found out, like so many others, that as I grow up, most of the movies just…

Memorial Day for some is referred to some as the official start of Summer. The studios must think that too because that weekend is one of the weekends each year the big movies are released. Marvel taking over the first weekend of May aside, the biggest movie of the month usually is released that weekend.…

Last month, I concluded the inaugural Box Office Classic. I have always liked tournaments, real and fake. It always is a good way to have new and strange discussions. So, each month, I will have a new tournament that will most times themed to something next month. For example, June’s theme is Pixar because Inside…

We have finally reached the end of the road of the Inaugural Box Office Classic. It’s the Captain vs 007 for the crown. Skyfall is my favorite James Bond entry. It might also be the best one in my lifetime, though Goldeneye might give it a run for its money. Winter Soldier is also my…

The Inaugural Classic has reached the mid point, and things aren’t getting easier. Let’s see who moves on to the Quarterfinals on Monday. Matchup of the round is another battle for Inside Out. This time it’s up against Damon and his quest to escape from Mars. The Martian is a great film, and was up…

After I cut the field in half on Thursday, it’s time to do it again. Today we say goodbye to 16 more films, there are no real losers at this point, just better films in my opinion. Let’s start on left side of the bracket with the Toretto and Baggins Regions. There are a lot…

Time to get things started. Today we begin with the First Round, obviously. 64 films enter today, 32 move on to Monday’s Round of 32. Let’s begin with the region named after a fella from the Shire. The Baggins Region is headlined by American Sniper, which was up for 6 Oscars in 2015. It only…
