You Must Choose - which Oscar film should I go see? »

By Burbanked on Jan 29, 2008 in Movies, The Oscars, You Must Choose  |  604 views  |  

I find this to be a tough time of year for movie watching.
On one hand, it’s an embarrassment of riches because the Oscar nominations usually mean that I’ve got a lot of catching up to do. I don’t see as many movies as I did long ago in my pathetically lonely bachelor days, but each [...]

You Must Choose - which new one-sheet sells The Dark Knight the best? »

By Burbanked on Dec 14, 2007 in Movie Marketing 101, Movies, One-Sheetery, You Must Choose  |  7,567 views  |  

This has turned into Movie! One-Sheet! Week! at Burbanked, with Indiana Jones a handful of days ago and now three new posters heralding Christian Bale’s return to the dark world of latex, psychotic badguys and the fine art of using only the lower half of one’s face to act.
We first saw a Batman-themed one-sheet [...]

Follow-up: Pixar favorites, yours and mine. »

Happy Post-Turkey day, if celebrating that was your thing. If not, welcome to late November, or as I like to call it “The Most Annoying Time Of The Year And When Did Everyone Forget How To Drive?”. I thought I’d run the results from last week’s article about next year’s Pixar release Wall-E in which [...]

Bringing the “cute” with Wall-E - and which Pixar is your favorite? »

By Burbanked on Nov 16, 2007 in Movie Marketing 101, Movies, One-Sheetery, You Must Choose  |  4,182 views  |  

I saw this new Wall-E teaser one-sheet over at both /film and Empire today, and it occurs to me that Pixar has never really marketed the “cute” factor in their movies quite so heavily as they are with this release.
That’s not to say, of course, that Pixar’s creations aren’t cute - because of course [...]

Put your feet up, turn off your brain and take the Burbanked Lowbrow Cinema Poll. »

By Burbanked on Aug 15, 2007 in Movies, You Must Choose  |  1,189 views  |  

There’s a great movie poll today at the excellent Awards Daily blog soliciting readers’ votes as to the 5 Most Anticipated Movies for the remainder of 2007. And while it’s certainly admirable to celebrate Oscar-caliber movies, my own personal tastes often lean toward more unrefined, lowbrow, less intellectual and - perhaps - puddinghead-type movies.

A shocking disclosure! A plea for help! Restore freedom to the galaxy! »

I am a married guy with three little boys.
Maybe that’s not such a shocking disclosure, but it’s something I haven’t mentioned here on Burbanked before. For the first year or so of having this site, I had it in mind to retain a certain amount of anonymity, but as time stretched on, I’ve slowly whittled [...]

You Must Choose - do movie characters ever deserve to be left at the altar? »

If you haven’t seen it, Serendipity tells the story of a pair of fate-crossed lovers played by John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale who meet cute, fall in love, and are then separated by time, space and circumstance as they both attempt to make the fates align so that they can get back together again.
Oops. Did [...]
