"The Darkest Hour" (2011)

Two young-and-hopeful American web designers travel to Moscow in hopes of closing the deal that will make them big, only to find that their idea was stolen and their services are no longer needed. While getting drunk to ignore their problems, they meet up with some fellow tourists through some terrible smartphone app that's some cross between Twitter and Tinder. Just in time for the power to go out at the night club and everyone begins getting killed by floating light creatures which turn out to be aliens that can go invisible, feed on electricity (but are also given away by electrical objects), can see through solid objects, and cannot see through glass.

The Cornetto Trilogy - "Shaun of the Dead" (2004), "Hot Fuzz" (2007), and "The World's End" (2013)

We have arrived at my favorite part of our entire collection - The Cornetto Trilogy! Sorry guys, only downhill from here.

"Cloverfield" (2008)

"Cloverfield" is one of those movies that no one ever thinks "that was okay." It's a movie you either love or hate. I count myself among the former rather than the latter. I absolutely love this movie, and it is probably my favorite monster movie.

Yes, I intentionally left the sticker that seals it closed on there. It looks so good!

"Chronicle" (2012)

There are not many non-horror found footage films. Chronicle" buckled this trend. And in a good way. Chronicle stands out as a very original film in an age where nothing is original.

"The Cabin in the Woods"

Like we talked about yesterday, there have been a lot of cabin in the woods horror movies, but none of them accomplish what "The Cabin in the Woods" (2012) is able to do. Much like when we discussed "Behind the Mask" a couple weeks ago, this is able to take stereotypes and cliches, and make them mean something completely new. After seeing this, it made "Cabin Fever" mean something a bit more than what Eli Roth had intended.

"The Butterfly Effect"

"The Butterfly Effect" (2004) was one of my first forays into Sci-Fi thrillers. I remember being in high school when this came out, and then becoming completely obsessed with it. Before this, my movie interests had consisted of Adam Sandler, "Jurassic Park", "Finding Nemo", and "Star Wars" - nothing that really made you think. This movie was the catalyst to me actually enjoying movies, so it has a very special place in my heart.

"Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure"

Luckily we only own "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" (1989) and not the horrible sequel. I'm pretty sure the sequel is available on streaming services, but we're choosing to pretend like we don't have access to it. We have enough movies to get to without wasting our time on it. But get ready for a most excellent journey through time, dudes!

"Battlefield Earth" This Movie is Bad and You Should Even Skip Reading This Post

Let's not beat around the bush here. This movie is bad. It is widely reviled, and is considered to be one of the worst movies ever made. Yes, those are 7 different links, including admission by the screenwriter. So why don't we just jump into this and get it over with.

The "Back to the Future" Trilogy

I wonder if Zemeckis knew what he was doing when he wrote these movies. They are pure fun - not out to prove anything other than movies are entertaining. That's exactly what this trilogy is: entertaining. For some reason my "Back to the Future Part II" will not work in my Xbox, so we weren't able to watch it. I've seen it a million times, though.

"Alien vs Predator" & "Alien vs Predator: Requiem"

I wish we owned other Alien and Predator movies. We own "Prometheus" and "Predators", which we will be watching later on in the P's. So for now we're watching "AvP: Alien vs Predator" and "AvPR: Aliens vs Predator - Requiem" Yep, they seriously tried to trend the titles up by starting them with the acronyms. So the second one has TWO subtitles! Snazzy!

"Avatar"

James Cameron's wildly-praised "Avatar" (2009). I want to keep this review short.

Welcome to the Collection

The movie collection you have the pleasure of hearing my prattle on about. 

We love movies. And as you can see, we have a large collection of movies with varying degrees of quality and popularity. . We have our movies split up into several categories: Comics, Kids/Family, Muppets, Tolkien/Narnia/Star Wars, and Everything Else. We also have a pretty small anime collection and some TV series. Chances are I will not be reviewing either of those sections in this blog. All-in-all, we have somewhere around 400 titles.
