Top Five “We’re All Going To Die” Movies
With this weekend’s release of the critically acclaimed 2012 movie proving to be a groundbreaking departure for Roland Emmerich, we bring you a cute little top five list of all the greatest apocalypse movies. Because, if we’re all going to die tomorrow, you should at least have in mind the best movies to reference, so you can go down looking culturally hip. Keep in mind these are Apocalypse movies, which all differ in very nitpicky ways from disaster movies, post-apocalypse movies, and dystopia movies, so I wouldn’t be compelled to include things like Children of Men. As a side note, there aren’t any Roland Emmerich movies on this list. Weird.
5 – Gojira
AKA GODZILLA! It’s the movie that spawned nearly every giant monster killing rampage ever, so how could it not be on the list? So maybe it does give everyone in the world a terrible idea of what Japanese Cinema has contributed to the world, at least it’s still better than Cloverfield. This movie is still such a cultural phenomenon, that to this day we still have movies hearkening back to the genre created by that lovable lizard, such as Big Man Japan.

Winter Movie Preview
In the midst of Fall, it can be quite difficult to find a good movie to see — studios have already released most of their Fall movies, and holiday/awards season movies don’t come out for another month at least. You can still catch some good ones before you run home for winter break, though, and they are:
Up in the Air – George Clooney stars in this existential movie about a disaffected corporate reaper with no human connections. It’s only going to be in limited release in LA and New York, so you should take advantage of the city (yeah, how many times have you heard that one) and go see it. If anything, it will make you feel better about your social life once you realize you have more friends than the main character.
The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus – Terry Gilliam’s latest directorial project looks like it was made on an extended acid trip. In other words, it looks amazing. It’s the last movie Heath Ledger was working on when he died, and has a star-laden cast, so it’s going to get a lot of attention solely for those reasons. But I’ve heard from people who saw the movie in advance that the story is really great, too. (Unfortunately, the film’s press division has placed an embargo on all advance reviews, so you can’t actually read about how awesome it is until after it comes out.)

The Dark Knight Profits to be Stretched Out As Long As Possible
The Dark Knight was a work of majestic genius. And Warner Brothers wants the fine voters for the Academy Awards to remember that! Which is why the studio will rerelease the film in theaters early next year, just in time for Oscar voting season.
I mean, we all loved The Dark Knight, but…really? I’d love to see it again in theaters, but I don’t want to play into Warner Brothers’ alarmingly obvious awards-garnering game. We should remember a film’s greatness because it was great, not because the studio beat us over the head with it.
