Best Pixar Movies

Now that they've made ten films, each a masterpiece in its own respect, I figured it's time to rank them. Plus, it's just not fair to compare other animated movies to films of this caliber. They need a list of their own. I'll try to keep it updated well into the future.


  1. Toy Story (1995)
  2. Finding Nemo (2003)
  3. Toy Story 2 (1999)
  4. The Incredibles (2004)
  5. Coco (2017)

15 Seconds of Fame

Check out this Haiku Review that I submitted to "The Rotten Tomatoes Show" television program on Current. They actually aired it on T.V.!

Worst Harrison Ford Movies

Here's the flipside to the best list. It is shorter, though. Sorry. It's like I said, I cut him a lot of slack. A couple of these aren't even that bad.

Best Harrison Ford Movies

My wife thought I should throw some actors names in the ring, listing each of their best and worst films. I figured I'd start with my favorite actor, Harrison Ford. He also has a movie coming out this month, so it works on many levels. Just warning you now, he is my favorite actor, so I cut him a lot of slack.

1. The Fugitive (1993)
2. Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
3. Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977)
4. Air Force One (1997)
5. American Graffiti (1973)
6. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)
7. What Lies Beneath (2000)
8. Clear and Present Danger (1994)
9. Witness (1985)
10. Regarding Henry (1991)

Worst movies of 2009

I've decided to start a new blog chronicling the worst movies I see each year. Keep in mind, I am not a critic. I am not paid to watch movies. I see what I think looks good and worth the roughly fifty bucks I'll end up shelling out on a night at the movies. Therefore, you will never (knock on wood) see a Olsen twins or Steven Segal movie on these lists. A couple of caveats: I do have a daughter, turning six this year, who will drag me to the occasional crap-fest (Doogal, The Tale of Despereaux), a wife who will drag me to a different kind of crap-fest (Twilight), and I, myself, am a sucker for 3D movies (see below), since (like decent popcorn) you can only get that kind of corny, greasy, bad-for-you fun in the theater.

1. Bride Wars
2. G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
3. My Bloody Valentine 3D
4. Knowing
5. Adventureland
6. Paul Blart: Mall Cop
7. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
8. He's Just Not That Into You
9. Friday the 13th
10. The Uninvited
