Golden Globes Afterthoughts

I really don’t put too much emphasis on the Golden Globe Awards. I see them more like the junior varsity of awards show when compared to something like the Oscars.

Happy 2010!

May your 2010 be filled with good health, happiness and lots of trips to the movie theater!

CineSnob’s Best Films of the Decade (2000-2009)

This is my very first “Best Films of the Decade” list, so I was excited to look back and think about everything I saw over the last 10 years. The first time I sat down and wrote a film review was actually in 2000 when I was a skinny 20-year-old journalism student writing for my college paper. Nine years later, I’m still going strong.

CineSnob’s Top 10 Films of 2009

The year has come to an end and it’s finally time to unveil the top 10 films that had the most profound effect on me as a movie critic. This year, I’ve seen over 165 films at the theater. During some, I wished there was an ejection button on my seat. During others, I hoped the movie would never end. Without further ado, here are my picks for the best films of the year and a few honorable mentions.

CineSnob’s Worst Films of 2009

One reason is because I see so many terrible films from January to December, it’s hard to sit down and actually rank their rankness. Anyway, without further ado, here are the 10 Worst Films of 2009 with a few dishonorable mentions thrown in. Think of them as salt in the wound.

‘New Moon’ Winners Announced!

Thank you to everyone who participated in the “New Moon” contest for tickets to the special screening of the movie next week. I got quite a few entries and many of them were very creative! If you were a winner, you should have already received an email from me. Again, thanks to everyone for being such great sports. Usually, I’ll just do a trivia contest or ticket giveaway, but if the movie is in high demand and I only have a few tickets (like in this instance), I’d rather figure out a fun and fair way to give them out to whoever wants them the most.

Extra, Extra!

My friends Debbie McDaniel, who is also a local representative for a few major studios, and Victor Torres went to the set to be extra in the film.

Live Blog: America’s Got Talent Finals

I’m watching the Finals of “America’s Got Talent” and giving my two-cents through a live blog. Let me know what you thought of the show and who you think is going to win the whole competition this year.

M.I.A. Movies

We feel your pain Sandra Bullock. That’s the same face the CineSnob made when he found out none of the three big mainstream movies opening Sept. 5 were going to be screened for critics in San Antonio. What’s a critic to do when he can’t see a movie before it hits theaters? How will he or she make a recommendation or warn moviegoers about all the new releases? Well, folks, this week you’re basically on your own. Out of the five new movies that are opening in San Antonio, I have seen a total of one. Want to know why? Read on…
