10. “Battle: Los Angeles” - This remake of “Independence Day” mixed with “Black Hawk Down” got very little love from critics and a lukewarm response from audiences but I maintain my opinion that it's the most visually satisfying, most action-packed sci-fi film of the year. I have re-watched “Battle: LA” more than any other film on this list.
 
9. “Captain America” - This lead-in for “The Avengers” superhero team movie (opening in May of 2012) is second only to “Iron Man” in the series of Marvel Comics films. A “Cap” film was previously regarded as too difficult to sell to a foreign market and potentially corny. Director Joe Johnston allayed all fears by creating a Hollywood blockbuster and introducing new fans to the star-spangled hero...]]></description>

There are many great horror films out there but very few actually take place during or around Halloween. Here are six of the best...


6. “Ginger Snaps” (2000) – Ginger and her sister, Brigitte are two high school Goth outcasts… Until Ginger gets bit by a werewolf. The infection gives Ginger the confidence she’s never had… and an appetite for human flesh. The climax occurs during a Halloween party where Ginger doesn’t need a fake costume to look scary. One of the great underrated werewolf films, “Ginger Snaps” is a sly, grim allegory to the pains of female puberty. It spawned two bizarre and substandard sequels but the original has a large fan following...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After attending numerous film festivals over the years, I quickly learned the benefits of such an event, but was frustrated I was not exposed to them sooner. I feel it is necessary to highlight the advantages so people in my community, and others, can understand what the big deal is. These positives do not apply exclusively to film festivals, but to music, art and all other creative festivals as well...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every year there are several acclaimed films that really rub me the wrong way.  It's not that I don't agree they are all good, some are and some aren't, but something about them bugged me and no one can convince me otherwise.  

I plan on getting some hate mail for these because they are all popular choices for critics as well as the general public.  Hopefully many of you will agree with me on one or more of these because let's face it, it's awards season and I've got a bad feeling that Inception isn't going to win a thing despite being the best movie of the year.  That sad realization makes this list feel like sweet justice...]]></description>

No, the Small Town Critic site is not defunct, just transitioning to encompass all of my projects, including movie reviews, short films, festival screenings, screenwriting seminars and whatever else I've got going on.

To get things on track for the New Year (2011? When did that happen?), here are my top 10 movie pics of the last year...]]></description>

You have to be prepared for when a zombie outbreak occurs in your own small town. The zombies have to be nipped in the bud (or head) before it takes over the whole world and it is up to you to do it. Prepare yourselves! It’s inevitable...]]></description>

According to the naysayers, the Y2K bug was poised to wreck havoc on computer systems across the entire digital spectrum from finance to air traffic control to eBay.  In short, it was claimed that this viral Boolean mutation would infect the operating systems of every computer on the planet and thereby destroy our global infrastructure; plunging mankind back into the Dark Ages.
