We have taken the ultimate challenge here at TVCasualties headquarters: we will attempt to watch 365 movies in 365 days… or die trying. (Okay, not really.)

Here’s a recap of Week 1:

End of Watch – 2/5 stars This Gyllenhaal cop movie has some Oscar buzz, to which I say, “OVER-RATED! CLAP-CLAP! CLAP-CLAP-CLAP!” See our [...]

End of Watch: Yes, Please Let It Be the End of Watching This Movie.

In End of Watch, Brian Taylor (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Mike Zavala (Michael Peña) are LAPD officers that think they’re cock of the walk, bad ass, crime fighting, protectors of The Law. I hope that works out well for them.

Officer Taylor walks around with a little camera clipped to his uniform, making End of [...]

I also dug up a few of my favorite Ryan Dunn moments:

Jackass 3D

I was about to start this review with the complaint that Jackass 3D relied a little too much on the poo, vomit, and scrotum gags. And then I realized how dumb that would sound. After all, isn’t that what Jackass is all about?

Documentary December – Winnebago Man

Jack Rebney is the Winnebago Man – an oddly eloquent yet obscenity laced orator that rose to Youtube fame for the outtakes of an early 1980′s Winnebago promotional video that featured him losing his shit repeatedly and swearing up a damn storm. (My personal favorite quote is “My mind is just a piece [...]

Documentary December – The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia

It’s the Appalachian equivalent of Jersey Shore. The opening minutes of Julien Nitzberg’s documentary, “The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia“, give a rapid fire family history of the film’s subject, the White family of Boone County, West Virginia.
