KICKSTARTER
That’s right folks, as the headline of this article subtly suggests, we have launched our very own YourPopFilter.com KickStarter! Why you ask? Well, look around this site.

I had mixed emotions about the placement of this film anywhere on the AFI’s list, to be honest. As much as I’ve enjoyed the film on previous viewings, it’s meant to be a kid’s cartoon … isn’t it?

Flickchart’s Greatest Battles In which we pit two movies together using flickchart.com, debating their merits or lack thereof. Face/Off (1997) VS Pulp Fiction (1994) Stop; this is a much closer battle than you think. People think “Nick Cage†and “John Travolta†and immediately disregard it as a potentially good movie.

Best Movies of the 1990′s 1991 Edition As PopFilter “writer” Jason Noble continues through the collective garbage that is 90’s music, the 90’s, and music in general, struggling to find more than three songs that were good in any given year, I get to find out that 1991 is YET ANOTHER year full of movies…

The Very Best MOVIES of the 1990’s 1990 Edition We here at the PopFilter headquarters think both music and Jason are lame and stinky. (Just kidding – it’s just me that thinks that. But I’m right). So, to celebrate movies’ eternal domination over music, let’s steal Jason’s idea, but make it better, because he is…

POP FILTER VS THE CLASSICS of COMEDY MODERN TIMES There’s always an internal conflict when viewing and reviewing a classic film. Well, classic anything really. Is the piece good for its time, or good for all time? Are you judging it harshly because you recognize all of its tricks? Do those tricks exist because of the…

Flickchart’s Greatest Battles In which we pit two movies together using flickchart.com, debating their merits or lack thereof. COMMANDO VS MONSTER’S BALL The year was 2001. Someone was probably president, some hit song was probably number one on the radio, and we as a nation were still giving Monster’s Ball a standing ovation weeks after…

POP FILTER VS THE CLASSICS OF 1978 SAME TIME, NEXT YEAR Do you know why you haven’t heard of this film? Because it’s unenjoyable, that’s why. It’s a problem when people go into “classic†movies with a bias. The bias is easy to understand: if it’s been around since 1978 and you’ve never heard…
