Take one more walk with me and Oscar through the glorious world of cinema.
Welcome back to part three of of my three-part series on Oscar!
Not familiar with Oscar? Well, I’m NOT talking about 1995’s “fighter of the year” Oscar De La Hoya. I’m NOT talking about Sesame Street’s trash can slumdog, Oscar “The Grouch.” And I’m NOT talking about the famous fashion designer Oscar De La Renta (although, he may be who I’m wearing tonight).

OK gang, let’s sit back, smoke a cigar and talk about the Oscars… ’cause that’s what men do.
T-minus four days until OSCAR TIME!
You know what? I don’t even know what that sentence really means… I mean, what the hell does the ‘T’ stand for?
Let’s start again with a different approach.
Hey, guess what everyone? The Academy Awards will be on television in just four nights!
Yeah, that sounds a lot better… and it just makes sense.
Let’s get to it. Continue reading Oscar Picks: The Men
It’s Oscar week. Let’s stroll through the Ladies Lounge and pick our “Best Actress” and “Best Supporting Actress” winners.
And… ACTION!
Here we are! My favorite week of the year! Oscar week!
It’s such a busy week for me. I’ve got so much to do. I’ve got to get my hair done. I must get a mani-pedi. I have to work the red carpet, and meet-n-greet with the actors and actresses. And most importantly, I HAVE to get a dress. I don’t want to look all befuddled out there on the biggest night of the year for both myself AND the entertainers. Continue reading Matty’s Oscar Picks: The Ladies

This movie could’ve just as easily been called “This Means: Score!”
Reese Witherspoon has a new movie out this weekend. Which usually means “romantic comedy.” Which also usually means “chick flick.” Which also means this movie could be terrible.
Lately, whenever I think of romantic comedies, the first movie that pops into my head is “New Years Eve.” And that movie was so bad, it almost turned me off from movies altogether. I mean, it’s been two months, one week, and one day since it was released, and I can still taste the vomit in my mouth. I’m not lying, that movie almost killed me.
But, fortunately for me (and for you) I am not reviewing “New Years Eve” today (I’ve reviewed it once already, and it took an eight hour acid bath to wash the stink off of me. It…just…kept…lingering!!!).
Today, I’ll be reviewing a wonderful action, thriller, rom-comedy called “This Means War.” Continue reading ‘THIS MEANS WAR!’

What would you do with superpowers?
There’s a question that has most likely floated around in our brains once or twice in our lifetimes.
Me? Well, I’d like to think that I’d protect the weak from the tyranny. I would fight for the good over evil. And if I saw a crime being committed, I would jump into action and right the wrongs via my skull-thumping super-fists of fury.
That’s what I’d like to think I’d do….
But in reality, I’d do a lot more. Don’t get me wrong, I’d do all that stuff too, but some of that stuff would be put on the back burner while I tended to the finer things in life.
If I had superpowers, I’d fly to the Caribbean on a whim, take my superhero costume off, except for my speedos, and lay out on the beach. I’d be sucking back super-margaritas and getting a super-tan. Continue reading ‘Chronicle’ is not ‘Moron-ical’

If you want to see a movie about a man on a ledge, then I’ve got the movie for you… It’s called “Man on a Ledge.”
Well, here’s a first. Today, I’ll be writing my review of “Man on a Ledge” from my ‘seat on a jet’… I sure hope there’s no ‘snakes on the plane!’
This morning I’m flying down to Virginia to hang with my niece Zoe and my nephews Maddox and Beckett. We’re going to be playing laser tag for Zoe’s birthday! There should be about twenty children playing. I’m feeling pretty bad for the younglings because I am ruthless when it comes to these types of games. Hey, they don’t call me “The Irish Assassin” for nothing. I am also going to be able to watch the Superbowl with my sisters Becky and Faithie, and Faithie’s hunk of a husband, Danny “Shee-dog” Sheehan (He seems to take after his brother-in-law when it comes to handsomeness… His brother-in-law Colin). Continue reading ‘Look, up there! It’s a Man on a Ledge!’

Leave this one for the wolves.
Liam Neeson is an actor. Maybe one of the better actors of our generation.
With film credits in “Gangs of New York,” “Star Wars: The Phantom Menace,” “Batman Begins,” and “Schindler’s List,” it may seem that this man knows how to pick his roles.
I’ll give you a few more of his movies: “Taken,” “Unknown,” “Clash of the Titans,” “Chloe,” and “The A-Team.” Personally, I think all these movies are very good films too.
Now let’s look at what’s coming up for him. “The Dark Knight Rises,” “Wrath of the Titans,” the sequel to “Taken,” and (the sci-fi guy’s fave) “Battleship.” All coming out in 2012 (except maybe the “Taken” sequel). Continue reading A Touch of ‘Grey’

This is a wonderful movie that revolves around a terrible period in our history.
Where were you on September 11, 2001?
Now there’s a question that almost everyone reading this article can answer.
I was at work, making the world a prettier place to live in (cutting lawns), as I usually would do on every sunny Tuesday morning in September. Little did I know that day would change the lives of Americans forever. Continue reading ‘Extremely Loud’ – Extremely Good And Incredibly Moving
