It’s not called “Field of Absolute Realities”
Posted on June 10, 2010 | No CommentsField of Dreams is just that. A movie about a ball field on a farm in Iowa where out of this world stuff happens. You know, a field of dreams. If ghosts playing ball and time travel don't indicate that you are watching fiction, you may have a little problem on your hands... -
Things that Piss me off..
Posted on November 18, 2009 | 4 CommentsIn a stunning development, new content has been added to Youngmanridge for the first time in 3 years. Sure, it is a bloggish type of post that doesn't really have anything to do with what we usually do, but content is content. Shortstick examines a few things that piss him off and turn him into angry Shortstick. -
They Live
Posted on March 1, 2006 | No CommentsI loved this film. Not because it's great, or even because its good. But because of Carpenter's will imposed on the audience: FUCK SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF. You will believe, or else. And we still don't, but its kinda funny how he gets all worked up when we're still laughing. -
Hercules in New York
Posted on February 2, 2006 | No CommentsImagine an Arnold with less acting ability and English at his command, swizzle in some strong cheddar and you arrive with Hercules in New York, originally titled HERCULES starring someone named Arnold Strong. Must have been a different guy. -
10 Reasons Why Santa is Evil…
Posted on January 3, 2006 | No CommentsMost of us Gen-Xers have seen this claymation rendition of ole Rudy the Red-beak, but seen through the eyes of the adult this is a story of tolerance... err, or rather Santa Claus's lack thereof. Yes, the man in red and white, we're convinced has the devil's colors and Hitler's sparkling personality. -
The Sword and the Sorcerer
Posted on November 16, 2005 | No CommentsTriple the fun of any ordinary fantasy flick! You have women derobing, swords firing blades, sorcerers ripping out hearts (at a distance) and much much more. We cannot stress enough how much you need to screen this worthy movie, which suits the low-brow and the neanderthal-brow in all of us. -
How to Better Use A Roger Ebert Review
Posted on August 31, 2005 | 4 CommentsPlenty of people talk shit about Roger Ebert and how they like to form their own opinion about movies. That's fine by me, but I've found, personally, that the man has saved me from watching a horde of films that couldn't peak the interest of even the most dedicated of retards. In other words, I learned how to use Ebert's reviews, even in times of their imperfection, to guide me to the movies I know anyone would want to see. Check out YMR's five step program to better your cinematic experience thru R. Ebert. -
Jingle All the Way
Posted on December 12, 2004 | No CommentsJINGLE ALL THE WAY is proof that evolution stopped with the human race. We like a cheesy movie in our lives from time to time, but this one proves that wishing for such a thing can be dangerous. This movie is so cringingly moronic that at times we felt autistic just watching it. Shit, I'm still rocking back and forth, muttering, even at this moment. -
Youngmanridge Visits Dave & Buster’s
Posted on September 6, 2004 | No CommentsShortstick and Giggles go out for a night of videogames and drinking. Dave & Buster's is a gathering place for twenty-somethings who would rather be punching buttons and slamming jack and cokes. We could get use to it though. Highlights include: the D&B shooting gallery, Mazan the videosword game, and the Mechwarrior battle. -
Just One of the Guys
Posted on August 28, 2004 | 5 CommentsJUST ONE OF THE GUYS revamped review! This is a movie near and dear to our perverted hearts. It's possible that three or four other articles could be based on this movie, so if that's the case... this is probably our "Terri" article. New, better, boobier pictures are included. Check it out!
