http://www.intermissionatwork.com Movie Reviews and Experiences from Me! Tue, 22 Jul 2008 03:02:27 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I'm sure that you guys have read tons of reviews of The Dark Knight. Yes, I should have had mine up earlier, but I guess I'm not supposed to provide opinions on movies before they come out because of the privilege I have of seeing them before they come out. ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/07/21/joes-review-the-dark-knight/ I was really seriously considering making this a "Jerk at the Movies" article, but I thought it would be a lot more helpful to have this as a Movie Morsel instead.  It does have to do with a less than pleasant experience I had this weekend, but in the end ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/07/17/movie-morsel-check-your-movie-times/ Not gonna miss this week, folks. It's a huge weekend, with another one of those huge summer movie blockbusters that means... long nights for me. It's ok though, because I actually enjoy working those busy weekends. Now let's take a look at what all the hype is ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/07/15/movies-this-weekend-71808/ Sorry for the late post this week folks, but your carnival host was sick... so I'm gonna have to make it up to you guys with an extra special edition of the Carnival! First off, Shlomi Ron presents The Cry - Il Grido (Michelangelo Antonioni - 1957) posted at cafe Pellicola ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/07/14/the-carnival-of-cinema-2/ So I haven't posted in a while (again), but I did actually get to go see a movie! Yesterday the girl and I went to go see Hancock. Coming into the theatre, I didn't really know what to expect. I knew that the movie put up big ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/07/14/joes-review-hancock/ Guys, I know that I haven't been posting on this, but I've been watching this religiously pretty much over the weeks that this season is on.  My initial pick(s) to be the finalists, Corey and Bobby, have both been eliminated.  That really shows how much I know about running a ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/07/07/hells-kitchen-final-is-tomorrow/ The times have changed.  Movie theatres are no longer simply places where people see movies.  The expansive arcades, cafes and sometimes even full restaurants are common features of theatres.  The main reason for this is to take advantage of every possible earning opportunity available to them.  Some theatres are showing ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/07/06/what-theatres-are-missing-out-on/ Being in the service/entertainment industry, I thought I'd take a post and see if I could help people get their thoughts heard when it comes to making a complaint. There are many many many reasons why you, as a guest or a patron, would want to make a ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/07/06/movie-morsel-get-your-complaints-heard/ Disney/Pixar's latest release was one of the most anticipated movies of the summer, and now that I've seen it, I can say that Wall-E deserves all the hype it gets. After the incredible success of Ratatouille last summer, Pixar hit the nail on the head again. This is ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/07/05/joes-review-wall-e/ Holidays are a great time to go see movies, with a lot of major releases focusing around holiday time, when more people are free to go to the movies.  To go along with that theme, it's a great time for families to go to the movies, since mostly everyone is ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/07/04/why-you-should-watch-movies-during-holidays/ Content? New Content?!?! Well, I was looking, and something I actually enjoy doing is watching trailers... so let's take a look at a cool trailer! Hellboy 2: The Golden Army is set to be released at the end of the week, and even though I didn't see ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/07/03/cool-trailers-hellboy-2-the-golden-army/ Ok, extra late with this supposedly weekly feature, but I figure I'd throw a bit of a roundup of the movies that have been release lately, because they've all piqued my interest.  I guess rather than telling you a little synopsis this time, I'll just throw out my opinion on ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/07/03/movies-ive-missed-the-release-dates-of/ I've been thinking about this alot, especially since I've been watching quite a bit of TV lately. We all know that Hollywood is constantly looking for new ideas for movies.. and TV happens to be a good source of ideas for a (potentially) good feature film. Why is this? ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/06/25/my-favorite-tv-to-movie-adapations/ Some of you may have been wondering the results of the poll that I ran last month, as well as who was the lucky winner of the movie soundtrack as a result! To be honest, I've had the results for a while, but a combination of lack of sleep ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/06/19/what-was-the-best-movie-theme-song/ Hey! Back again with two posts (almost) in a row. I've actually got a few more that I'm going to pump out, just got a few shifts at work that may hold them off for a bit. I'll work hard to try to get them out for ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/06/17/movies-this-weekend-62008/ For anyone who thinks that this movie even closely resembles the debacle that was the previous incarnation of The Hulk, I'm going to dispel that right now. The Incredible Hulk was quite decent. If I had to describe the movie in one word, I'd have to go with: ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/06/16/joes-review-the-hulk-2008/ Yes, I know I'm late with this post. I fell asleep a couple days in a row, really early, and kept waking up late for work, so you're going to have to forgive me. I've already drawn a winner for the soundtrack poll from last month, and I'll ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/06/12/movies-this-weekend-61308/ So, during Sex and the City weekend, my girlfriend and I decided to see.. that's right, a horror movie. So we trucked over to the theatre, only to see lines out the door, and into the parking lot. I would have taken a picture, but we were running ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/06/05/joes-review-the-strangers/ So... I was wrong last week. Sex and the City did do pretty well, as did The Strangers. Pulling in a combined 76.8 million is no easy feat. From what I hear (from my brother), Sex and the City had the biggest premiere ever for a rated ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/06/03/movies-this-weekend-6608/ I'm really happy to make this announcement. First off, I want the readers of this blog to know that I really appreciate you as readers. It means a lot to me that you come back and read. However, I also love it when you comment on the ... http://www.intermissionatwork.com/2008/06/02/an-intermission-work-world-premiere/
