Big (1988)
By: Henry J. Fromage (Five Beers) – I’m not sure if I mentioned this before, but for a large portion of my childhood my family didn’t have a television. Besides clearly making me a resounding success unconcerned with the fluff of pop culture and media, it also created a surprising hole in my movie-watching experience.
Billy Elliot (2000)
By: Henry J. Fromage (Five Beers) – I finally got around to watching Billy Elliot the other day. It’s one of those flicks that most people seem to like, so I gave it a shot. I was not impressed. Billy Elliot is a young miner’s son who just wants to dance… for some reason. He’s
D2: The Mighty Ducks (1994)
By: The Cinephiliac (Five Beers) - It hurts when you discover your favorite childhood film is actually an uncovered piece of turd baking in the sun. Rock-a-doodle was great when you were a kid? Good luck watching that again today. Good Burger was hilarious back in the day? Try getting through it not and not wanted to
The Mighty Ducks (1992)
By: The Cinephiliac (Three Beers) - Sports was never my thing. In fact, it wasn’t until Wayne Gretsky gained popularity in the early 1990′s and The Mighty Ducks came out that I was even aware that playing hooky and hockey were two different things. Like most kids weaned on 90s culture, The Mighty Ducks trilogy was

The Croods (2013)
By: The Cinephiliac (Four Beers) - The Croods are a prehistoric family of cavemen led by Grug (Nicholas Cage), the massive, strong leader of the pack.

Air Bud (1997)
By: Oberst Von Berauscht (Six Beers) - Buddy the golden retriever was a big novelty hit in the 90s for his uncanny ability to make basketball shots by bumping the ball with his snout. He had appearances on numerous morning show news broadcasts, Late Night with David Letterman and numerous other shows. This being the 90s, the novelty
Cirque Du Soleil: Worlds Away (2013)
By: Matt Conway (Three Beers)- The adaptation of concerts into movies have been a growing genre, with films like Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, Katy Perry: Part of Me, and the upcoming One Direction concert film, 1D3D. Most of these films have been rather bland, as the films consisted of documentary style storytelling of the
Oz the Great and Powerful (2013)
By: Mitch Hansch (Three Beers) - A prequel to one of the grandest and most beloved films of all time, huh?…ok…nothing like setting your sights higher than over a rainbow. Where Victor Fleming’s 1939 masterpiece taught us the value of appreciating where we came from, Sam Raimi’sOz the Great and Powerful focuses on the journey of
