In most cases, when young men gather together and hash
out (most likely under the influence of varying types of drugs) what would go
into their movie if they were given the chance by a Hollywood studio, the pitch
never come to fruition. It becomes fodder for the ether, zany and lunatic ideas
as easily forgotten as they were imagined. But for Seth Rogen and Evan
Goldberg, the writing and directing team behind This Is the End, they actually got the chance and a modest studio
budget to make a film that has everything but the kitchen sink thrown into it.
A blog mostly dedicated to cinema (including both new and old film reviews; commentary; and as the URL suggests - movie lists, although it has been lacking in this area to be honest), but on occasion touching on other areas of personal interest to me.

25 Years Ago This Month: June 1988
Three of the films that opened in June '88 went on to make the top 5 box office for the year.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit? was the big tent pole release of the month. Robert Zemeckis expertly fused live action scenes with animated characters in a way that wasn't gimicky. The story is well-crafted and provides the cartoons something to do other than be an annoying distraction.
