I’ve learned a lot from Kenny Rogers. Thanks to him, I known when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em, know when to walk away, and I even know when to run. I learned that sometimes you have to fight to be a man. And I even learned that love will turn you around. Turn. You. Around…

So what happens when you make a sequel to a sequel? I mean, most sequels beyond the first one are technically following the first sequel, which makes them sort of sequels to sequels, but I’m talking specifically when a sequel only really serves as a sequel to one particular sequel…

I took the family on pilgrimage to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire over the weekend. I say pilgrimage because all of us have read the books, and there’s usually some kind of tussle regarding who will get to read the new books first…

It may be a stretch to lump Tim Burton’s latest offering in with the zombie fare that’s being featured on the site at the moment, but it is a few weeks before Halloween, so it’s still appropriate for the season…

Charlie and Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory was good. I’m a big fan of the Gene Wilder original, but they really did a good job with this one. Johnny Depp plays a different kind of Wonka, so it’s cool. He plays it pedo-creepy like Michael Jackson…

When I said this was the 2004 Secular Holiday Extravaganza, I wasn’t lying. This year the focus won’t just be on regular ol’ Christmas movies. Yes, I’ve decided to foray into the exciting world of Hanukkah (Chanukah?) flicks, a genre that includes Adam Sandler’s first stab at an animated feature, EIGHT CRAZY NIGHTS as well as, uh, well, I think that’s it…

It’s officially after Thanksgiving, which means that my [insert preferred Winter holiday celebration] season has officially begun both in my real life and here at MCFTR…

For those of you who don’t know me, I recently inherited three kids. They’re good kids and I like them, but the whole thing takes a little getting used to. One definite upside to the whole thing is that I now have a perfectly legitimate excuse to go to see kid movies on opening night…

After watching TALES FROM THE CRAPPER, perhaps Troma’s most perverse film to date, I felt as if I needed to be cleansed. Something just wasn’t sitting right. I was still a little disturbed…

Newsflash, in case you didn’t figure it out by now: SHREK 2 is now in theaters. Just in case the 42.7 commercial spots per hour didn’t clue you in. Or the visages of Fiona and Donkey giving you the evil eye every time you step into the Post Office…

Tonight, I got to go the Atlanta premiere of HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN. My old college roommate’s wife managed to snag a couple of passes from some contest on MTV. You see, she’s one of those folks who wholly submerged herself in the Cult of Frodo for the last several years…

When the subject of Christmas movies comes up, many names immediately come to mind. Ebeneezer Scrooge. George Bailey. Ralphie Parker. Blake Thorne…

Look, I told you all many years ago that I love the Muppets, and there ain’t a goddamn thing you can do about it. And my love for Muppets goes far beyond the Kermits and Fozzies and Piggys that appeared on The Muppet Show…

It’s only a few weeks until Christmas, and that can only mean one thing: it’s time to break out the Muppets! And if you’ve been following MCFTR for any period of time, then you’re probably painfully aware that we (except, of course, for Terry, the heartless bastard that he is) have sort of a soft spot for those little Jim Henson creations…

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: The Christmas season doesn’t officially start until the day after Thanksgiving. Sure, ELF was out in theaters three weeks ago, but I purposefully didn’t see or review it until after Turkey Day had come and gone, simply out of principle…

I’ve decided to make it a point to wind up reviewing all of the Muppet theatrical feature films by the time it’s all said and done. At this time, there are a total of six that have been released…

I bet the Country Bears would kick my lame ass live. They are musicians, and BEARS! I’ve seen a lot of shows in my time, but I have never seen a bunch of bears kick out the jams. I hope the Country Bears come to a venue near me….

Well, Pixar entertainment and Disney has a whale of a record when it comes to feature films. So far, they’ve yet to disappoint, and their latest whopper FINDING NEMO is no different…

Since my employer decided last week that they no longer had any work for me and eliminated my position, thus nudging me unwillingly into the realm of the unemployed, I’ve done many a thing to pass the time…

First off, to answer your obvious question: Yes, I did see the Powerpuff Girls movie. Willingly. In fact, I’m kind of upset that it took me this long to see it. I would have liked to seen it theatrically, but lacked a viewing compadre and couldn’t honestly bring myself to walk up to a box office and request “one for Powerpuff Girls”…
