This week marks the end of the Oscar season. Really, thank goodness. I can, and I am sure there are some of you out there as well, who can only take so much of your local newspaper or TV movie critic saying he knows who will win what and that if you log-on right now you can enter to “beat the critic” and win totchkes like an AVIATOR T-Shirt or a MILLION DOLLAR BABY jock, signed by Morgan Freeman, of course…

If movies are like great books come to life, then trailers are like unique short stories. Usually I reserve this space for raging or spewing whatever it is I’m pondering about movies…

Yeah. It’s like that one part of REVENGE OF THE NERDS when Gilbert and Louis tell their fellow gym dwellers that they’ve found a place to live. Everyone cheers while Booger just lets everyone know, in one of the best movie moments I can think of, “It’s about fuckin’ time!”

It just has to be karma when for every ARE WE THERE YETs that seriously make everyone wonder what in hell people were thinking there are equalizers like ALONE IN THE DARK that make you think, yeah, there is comic justice in this world…
