    #140RVW: A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (1973)

    Like the holiday itself, sometimes lost between Pumpkin & Xmas. Which is a shame; it’s just as worthy as others in the best holiday trilogy.

    No, it’s not a movie, but may as well be – incredibly cinematic. Just keeps getting better. Admirably lives up to impossible expectation…

    Heartbreaking. Doesn’t matter how many years have passed, it’s still raw. Typically excellent HBO sports documentary. They’re all superb…

    140 Character Movie Review – #140RVW

    For one night, the entire world huddled together on Twitter and collectively marveled at this masterpiece. Movie watching changed forever…

    Spoiler-free Movie Review of Sharknado:

    (Updated July 11, 2014)

    One year ago today we were struck by the Sharknado. With that in mind, I thought I’d revisit my original 140 character review and expand upon it and see if I had anything to add. I don’t really. It was absolutely dreadful, but in that fun to make fun of way. It really honestly was a ton of fun to live tweet during the event, knowing you were making snarky comments in time with Wheaton and tons of other celebs. It was a communal experience and can’t really be duplicated – they’ve tried – it’s not the same. This was the perfect storm. (See what I did there?)

    In order to properly review this “film” I’d need to rewatch it; I’m not watching it again and you can’t make me…
