News: King Henry VIII says that you’re a Nigger too
Sigh… when will this word lose it’s power over people? Today marks another day when an actor proves to the public that they are not fantastical beings of abnormality, but that they are human beings too. Now normally I don’t post celebrity screw-ups here on Spicy (I have other sites for that) but this one is relevant being that I am a Mel Gibson fan (more on that later). When... [Read more]
News: In Defense of The Phantom Menace
Did you see Star Wars – The Phantom Menace when it came out? Were you one of the people who said it raped your childhood or something along those lines? Do you claim ownership of the original three like some people do, citing the actual creator George Lucas as committing a crime when he opted to make three prequels to his original Space Opera?

News: The Movie Theater – Lasers, iPhones and Bare Feet
As a frequent movie watcher, it never dawned on me that there’s a huge host of people out there who love movies as much as I do, but would never step foot in a theater unless it was such a huge “must-see” that their natural urges let it pass.

News: How does Spicy Movie Dogs rate movies?
In the James Bond 007 area you can see why a certain movie ranks a certain score based on the Bond-O-Meter. For blockbuster releases and older favorites I have neglected for far too long to point out how I judge a movie and why certain movies may score a lot differently than other movie fanatics across the internet. When I first sought out to do this I would judge movies based on gut feeling,... [Read more]
News: 2009 – A Great Year for Sci-Fi, Movies and Racist Bloggers
The Sci-Fi community is a closed in, introverted world of people who appreciate things fantastic, “futuristic” and intelligent. As a member of this community I can truly say 2009 was a huge year for Sci-Fi in terms of the box office. For all of the people who obviously don’t get Sci-Fi, and wouldn’t know a Xenomorph from a Borg or Cylon, the movies were still interesting... [Read more]

One thing that I have always said is that if the actor is bigger than the movie, that actor will always be accused of playing himself.... [Read more]

News: First Look – James Cameron’s Avatar
Today at AMC theater I was able to join a few movie lovers in previewing James Cameron’s Avatar in 3D IMAX. The preview was a quick 15 minute series of scenes from the first half of the movie along with an introduction by Cameron himself. My thoughts on what I just saw: Absolutely beautiful and breathtaking, the CGI visuals blew me away more-so than any other that I can remember. World... [Read more]
