MOVIE REVIEW – FINDING NEMO 3D
I’m the first to get cynical when it comes to 3D re-issues, reboots, remakes and all that. But Pixar movies are timeless, and I think should be back in theaters every five years or so, 3D or not.
MOVIE REVIEW – RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK
Is this the best movie ever made? Well, the great thing about movies is that arguing what the best one of all time is can keep you arguing until you pass out. But this is certainly my favorite, hands down.
HEY MOVIES, I GOT YOUR BACK

It’s called attention. If you pay it, you’ll get it.

I know this list will bring great debate from many of you out there. This is to be expected and is encouraged. But for now let’s get right to it.
THE MIDDLE SEAT: “FURRY NOSTALGIA”
I am about to risk sounding like an old man tearing into the new generation for forgetting all the great things about the last generation.
THE MIDDLE SEAT: “SIZE MATTERS”
Between my wife and I, screen size is a huge chasm of passion and indifference. I simply cannot watch a movie unless it is on a large screen.
THE MIDDLE SEAT: “TRAILER TRASH”
I have been endlessly fooled by movie trailers to frequent films that ultimately were nowhere near as good as the trailers suggested. Has this ever happened to you?
THE MIDDLE SEAT: “SCHWARZENEGGER OR SONY CLASSICS”
In my humble opinion, there are certain people who don’t “get” movies, and thus should not be allowed to view movies at all.
WELCOME TO THE MIDDLE SEAT
