In the past couple
years it’s happened a few times, where studios decide to add another
installment to a collection. In 2011 Wes Craven added Scream 4 to the
anthology of the classic scary movies of the 90’s. Just recently, in February of this year, they
added another Die Hard
movie to the collection. And now in June
of 2014 there will be a fourth addition to the Jurassic Park Collection
with Jurassic Park IV. Personally I will most likely have to see all
of these additions because the originals are some of my favorite movies, but
realistically when will it stop. The
first 3 Die Hard movies were the greatest and I thought the fourth was okay but
even then they were pushing it. Scream 4
however, was in fact a good addition to the collection with an amazing good
cast of characters and plot twist, as usual.
I am curious to see what the fourth Jurassic Park movie will bring to
the table.

Top 15 Kids Movies of the 90's
This is a list of
the top movies that I grew up watching.
1.
Mrs.
Doubtfire- who doesn’t love Robin Williams in general and even though
pretty much every movie that he stars in is amazing this is one of his
best. Classic story line and great cast
in this movie. It’s a movie that will
make you laugh and cry, but doesn’t let you down with a happy ending.
2.
Home
Alone- “This is my house, I have to defend it.” Who didn’t love this movie growing up? A kid gets left behind when his family leaves
on vacation and takes down two robbers with all kinds of cleverness and
creativity.
3.
Problem
Child- Another great kid’s movie.
John Ritter is an amazing actor and the little kid in this movie is
classic, although a little creepy now a days.
4.
Hook-
Great family movie altogether, another great Robin Williams movie. Fun fact about this movie is that Glenn Close plays a
small part in this movie and no one even realizes it. If you know this movie she plays the man on
the deck of the ship that gets put into the little box.
5.
Blank
Check-One of my all-time favorite’s right here, who didn’t wish this,
happened to them as a kid. Get a bunch
of money, buy a mansion, and fill it with cool toys and stuff.
6.
3
Ninjas- I know after seeing this all I wanted to do was become a
ninja. This movie had all of the action
and other cool stuff for kids growing up at this time frame.
8.
Kindergarten Cop- This movie is amazing because it’s Arnold Schwarzenegger
playing a kindergarten teacher and a cop at the same time.
9.
Rookie of the Year – This movie has a great cast and it’s about a kid who
breaks his arm and gets a chance to play major league baseball, who doesn’t
love a comeback story.
10.
The Sandlot – “You’re killing me smalls.” Greatest kid’s sports movie ever, great cast
of kids and the story line of the entire movie is classic and extremely well
thought out.
11.
Dennis the Menace – I loved this movie as a kid, the
trouble maker who drives everyone on the street crazy.
12.
The Mighty Ducks - Emilio Estevez to Joshua Jackson great
cast of characters. The story of a team
of screw ups who come out on top.
13.
It Takes Two – Everyone loves the Olsen Twins
regardless of what they say. This movie
has the Olsen twins before they discovered drugs. The story line is amazing and the characters
are people everyone loves.
15.
Liar
Liar – One of Jim
Carrey’s best, besides Ace Ventura, I’d say this is one of my favorites of his.

Coming to a theater near you
I started watching that
new show, Bates Motel
and it is actually a pretty good show.
It’s the prequel to the movie Psycho and it actually does Alfred
Hitchcock justice. I have only seen two
episodes so far, but it seems to be getting good.
I can’t wait for the new Sandra Bullock
movie, The Heat. Sandra Bullock is my all time favorite
actress. She does a phenomenal job
acting any part and she is hilarious.
The movie is sort of like Miss
Congeniality where she plays a cop
and something out of the ordinary happens.
Miss Congeniality was a great comedy movie and I feel that this one will
be just as good. The movie is in
theaters on June 28th.

Movies That Come Out Today (3/22/13)
Out of all of the movies
that are playing in theaters right now, the top two that I would see have to be
Olympus Has Fallen and Admission. Both of these arrive in theaters today Friday
March, 22 2013.
Olympus Has Fallen seems
like an action packed, movie that is sure to grip your attention the entire way
through. It seems to have a good story
line and who doesn’t love a movie with Gerard Butler in
it. Aaron Eckhart and Morgan Freeman are
also both amazing actors that are taking part in this movie.
Admission seems to be one
of those “feel good” comedies that we all know and love. Tina Fey and Paul Rudd seem to
be a good match of comedic skill and style.
They seem to complement each other and make this movie extremely funny.

Bates Motel
My blog this week is about
the new series that is going to start on A&E. It begins March 18 at 10/9c. The new series is called Bates Motel, and it
is the prequel to one of the ultimate best horror films of all time, Alfred Hitchcock’s
1960 film, Psycho. If you don’t know the film Psycho, than you
should probably look into watching it. It’s
the story of Norman Bates a hotel manager who stalks and kills visitors to his
motel. It is a movie that set the stage
for all horror films in general. This
series is meant to be a prequel, which means it is supposed to set the stage
for the movie. The series is said to
look into the events that led up to Norman Bates becoming the crazed psycho he
was.
Psycho is one of my all-time
favorite horror movies so I am entirely interested to see if this series will
prove to be just as good. This is a link
to the A&E website that
shows more details about the series.

TOMANETTI'S TOP TEN MOVIES
I wanted
to do something different than what I normally do for this blog entry, so I
decided to do a top ten list. I work at
a pizza shop with a few of my friends and we all love movies, so I figured for
this entry I would ask them to pick their top two favorite movies and then
choose a favorite quote from each. This is what
they came up with:
TOMANETTI'S TOP TEN LIST
ANDREA’S PICKS:
“Nobody puts baby in the corner.”
“Our love fern… you killed it!”
CRAIG’S PICKS:
“Whoa. Wait a minute, Doc. Are you trying to tell me that my mother has
got the hots for me?”
“This is my house, I have to defend it.”
JASON’S PICK:
“Jamie: Why don’t they ever make a movie
about what happens after they kiss?”
“Dylan: They do, it’s called porn.”
“Never forget where you came from.”
TINA’S PICKS:
“I’ve always dreamed that my life could
be like a fairy tale, a perfect fantasy.”
“I shall call him squishy and he shall
be mine and he shall be my squishy. Come
on, squishy come on, little squishy.”
MY PICKS:
“Irv, I swear we weren’t even in isle 7.”
“Oh sure, It’s just like driving a really
big Pinto.”
“Our love fern…
you killed it!”

Old and New
Today, on my drive to
school, I noticed that the theater in my hometown, The Oaks, is playing an all-time
classic, Casablanca. It is showing at 11 am on Saturday February
9. Casablanca is one of those movies
that everyone should see in their lifetime.
This movie was rated the number 3 greatest movie of all time, by the
American Film Institute in 2007. The
movie holds of the 100 Greatest Movie Lines, according to Premiere in 2007, of “Here’s
looking at you, kid.” If you haven’t
seen it you should stop by and check it out, it’s directed by Michael Curtiz
and stars Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman.
FOX has a new television
show that seems to show potential. The Following is a
show about a serial killer and a detective’s hunt for him. Even though it seems to be like every other
crime drama out there is has its own twists and unforeseen turn of events. The show starts Kevin Bacon and Shawn
Ashmore.
