Sixth Round Nominations

posted by Beth

This week's nominations are in:

 

 Kick-Ass. Lots of swearing = good movie. That's what Goodfellas taught us.

 

 The Lady Eve. Our third Preston Sturgess movie (third time may be the charm).

 

 Catch 22. The catch is that John will get to curate a week if this wins.

 

Enchanted. Go-for-broke appeal to the Disney lovers among us.

Minority Report. Tom Cruise plus Steven Spielberg: this could be great. Or hateful.

An Annotated List of This Week's Nominees

by Eric

The nominees for the Fifth Movie Tournament are:

Tales from Earthsea

Summary: Miyazaki's son shows us how much of a Telemachus he really is.

The first...no, the second of many inexplicable plot points.

Nine Queens

Summary: A dark comedy about con-men with a twist. (The twist is that someone tricked you into watching a foreign film).

!Hola, chumps!

Changeling

Summary: Angelina Jolie plays a gollum pretending to be a human in the 1920s. Her moist lips and starved body eventually give her away.

What's taters, Precious?

Stardust

Summary: A fantasy epic that promises to be as self-important as its original author: Neil Gaiman.

Yes, a unicorn.

Winter's Bone

Summary: It's like Midnight Run, except there's a bitch in it and it's an independent movie and there are no funnies. So it's nothing like Midnight Run.


Patton

Summary: "Have you chosen a movie for the movie tournament, John?"
"No. Have you guys seen Patton?"
"You're not supposed to tell us what you choose."
"I think I'm going to choose Patton."

He might be trolling.
