Best of the Decade March Madness Winner

Best of the Decade March Madness Winner

After a very long couple of months, it is time to finally announce a winner in this year’s March Madness. Avengers: Endgame and Mad Max: Fury Road fought through a tough bracket to earn spots in the final, but there can only one winner. And with a convincing, yet closer than I expected, 65% of the vote, the winner is….

You guys chose the same movie as I did for the best movie of the decade.…

Best of the Decade March Madness: Championship

Best of the Decade March Madness: Championship

I guess it should not surprise me that a movie that made over 2.7 billion dollars at the box office is popular enough to make it into the championship matchup. With that said, I did not expect Avengers: Endgame to still be around at this point when the bracket first started. It comes up against what is probably it’s toughest matchup yet, as it takes on my personal number one movie of the decade,

You got a little extra time to vote and the results were… pretty much what I expected. Avengers: Endgame kept riding its popularity wave, Christopher Nolan has two movies featured, and Mad Max:…

Best of the Decade March Madness: Elite 8

It took a few rounds, but the bracket has now completely fallen apart. I know everyone is entitled to their opinions, but, man, do you guys have some wrong opinions. Several movies that I considered to be strong championship contenders got knocked out and now I have no clue where this is going to end up. Some more thoughts:

Parasite finally met its match with Endgame. I think the fact that it…

Best of the Decade March Madness- Round 2

As usual with these brackets, there were quite a few surprising results in Round 1. It usually only gets harder to choose as the rounds go on, however this time I think Round 2 gets a little easier, at least for me. But before we get to this round’s voting, here are a few interesting notes about Round 1:

Dunkirk’s victory over Prisoners came down to a single vote, despite hundreds being…

Days are getting longer, the weather is warming, and flowers are starting to bloom, which can only mean one thing: It’s time for Movie March Madness! This year’s bracket is focused on the best movies of the 2010s. You’ve seen hundreds of lists breaking down the best films of the decade, including one right here, but now you get a say in which film comes out on top. As we do every year, we pick 64…

Best of the Decade March Madness: Play-in Round

Another round of Movie March Madness is only weeks away, so it’s time to narrow down the field for the best movies of the decade. With so many franchise movies released in this decade, many of who could take up spots in the bracket, I figured it was best to narrow down the entries that those franchises received. Below, you can vote for which Avengers, Star Wars, Pixar, and Mission Impossible…

Bad Boys for Life

Does #BadBoysforLife pull off the impossible to be a good movie? Check out our review

Bad Boys is considered by many to be one of Michael Bay’s better films. The sequel was not as well received, but I personally enjoy watching it a little more, though I can admit the first is probably the better movie. While Bay is not back to direct for the third installment, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence do return to star as Detective duo Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett. In this film, the two’s…
