    Tropical Island Video Vault Draft - ROUND 20 - FINAL ROUND

    Thrills and frills to come later. Pick for now... 20 years before Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford tried, this movie fused the sci-fi/Western genres together in a way that no other movie could. On the back of a blockbuster franchise, Marty McFly and Doc Brown travel back 130 years and break all...

    The Great CWebb Steak Controversy...

    See, I don't think that's fair, at least not in this context. Lord knows the restaurant business is a tough one for everyone involved, but not when you're talking about how someone likes their steak. You cook the man's steak an extra 7 minutes, and you have a bottle of A-1 in the fridge, and...

    The Great CWebb Steak Controversy...

    In LA. Cowherd spent 20 minutes on it last week, and he's national. Then Mason and Ireland did basically a whole show on it.

    The Great CWebb Steak Controversy...

    The local sports guys spent a whole afternoon on this.

    Tropical Island Video Vault Draft - ROUND 20 - FINAL ROUND

    Kind of surprised this one is still available. When I realized that it hadn't been picked, it moved to the top of my list. With the 259th pick in the 2011 TDOS Tropical Island Video Vault Draft, Superman's Super Movie Lineup selects: The Town (2010), directed by Ben Affleck I'm thinking about...

    Tropical Island Video Vault Draft - ROUND 20 - FINAL ROUND

    There's a few things that you never forget about childhood movies, even as an adult. It's cool when you go back and watch a movie like that after many, many years, and it stirs old memories and feelings that you'd forgotten about. It's even more cool when you, as an adult and now a parent, can...

    Tropical Island Video Vault Draft - ROUND 20 - FINAL ROUND

    Best M. Night movie for me. Another one on my list that I decided to let sit. I'll have to visit your island for a watch now and then.

    Tropical Island Video Vault Draft - ROUND 20 - FINAL ROUND

    This was definitely on my list, but I have my share of recent blockbusters. I made a conscious decision to let it sit. Good pick.

    The Great CWebb Steak Controversy...

    I find it hard to believe that a few bottles of A-1 are going to wreck their balance sheet. You get someone who's willing to drop some coin on a steak that's not exactly how you'd prefer to serve it, but he and his party drop a few hundred bucks and tip your server, I'm sure Webb's check could...

    The Great CWebb Steak Controversy...

    Webb doesn't know how to eat a good steak, but I think it's his right to leave if they won't serve it the way he wants it.

    Tropical Island Video Vault Draft - ROUND 20 - FINAL ROUND

    See, that's something that doesn't bother me. It is what it is. And the CGI Clu character worked just fine. CGI Young Flynn was rougher to accept, but not that big of an issue. I like them building on a universe that was already well established in the first movie, doing some things they could...

    Tropical Island Video Vault Draft - ROUND 20 - FINAL ROUND

    Forgot to mention the Animatrix, which dealt with the mythology a lot better than the sequels did. I considered that a part of the whole as well, so maybe that's why the entire thing worked for me. Of course, the first one is it's own animal, and it could have been left as a standalone and done...

    Tropical Island Video Vault Draft - ROUND 20 - FINAL ROUND

    I take that back. The temple festival was terrible. I had the privilege of being able to watch the whole series without interruption. I hadn't seen any of them, bought them all, and did it right. Neither of the sequels measure up to the first (of course), but I still liked them both. Was able...

    "Dr. ... Richard ... Kimble!!!" He makes the movie.

    Tropical Island Video Vault Draft - ROUND 20 - FINAL ROUND

    See, I hadn't seen the original in many, many years, so I wasn't looking for it to be anything, whether a sequel or a reboot. This will probably tell you a lot about me, but I don't think there are any bad parts of the Matrix sequels. I liked them all, through and through. And as for the light...

    Tropical Island Video Vault Draft - ROUND 20 - FINAL ROUND

    This is a quirky one, but one that has stuck with me. Good performances, Hugo Weaving bursts through the mask, Natalie Portman does a very good job. Good storytelling, good pacing, etc. Not my typical kind of movie, but one I can watch over and over again. With the 227th pick in the 2011 TDOS...
