About This Blog

Every week I will be reviewing one movie that I have recently watched and feel that it should be brought out to the world. These movies will likely be ones that are not mainstream or huge box office smashes, but ones that prove their existence within the cinematic world. All opinions are of my own and have no intellectual background to support it other than I have a degree in Marketing, which doesn't mean s*** when it comes to movie reviews. So sit back, relax the mind, and indulge in some interesting beef as this Mc sets upon a journey through the reels.

Kevo's Movie Trivia

As I've stated before, I look up movie facts after I watch a movie. Most recent movie I have seen, At Close Range, starring Sean Penn, Christopher Walken, and Chris Penn. It was made in 1986, and as much as I wish it was a top notch movie, it wasn't, hence why I don't really want to do a movie review. In short, 2.5/5 Kevo's. However, seeing as two great actors were apart of it, I had another great idea. And what is that, you might ask yourself. How about a couple of fun trivia facts that you may, or may not, know that could get you laid the next time your out at the bars. Ok, maybe not, but they are worthwhile.

What actor/actresses have the most Academy Award wins (main and supporting)?

Katharine Hepburn - 4
Jack Nicholson - 3
Ingrid Bergman - 3
Walter Brennan - 3
Meryl Streep - 2 (has been nominated the most of anyone with 16 noms. And the biggest loser award goes to.....)
And many more with 2, including Denzel, Hanks, Penn, De Niro, Brando, and Day-Lewis

What movie holds the record for most expensive, and what movie holds the record for highest gross?

Most Expensive - Pirates of the Carribbean At Worlds End: $300 million. What a waste of money
Highest Gross - Avatar: $2.76 Trillion Worldwide Gross. And who holds the #2 spot: Titanic. It's official, James Cameron truly is "King of the World".

What movie holds the record for most Oscar Wins?

It's a 3 way tie. Mmmmm, sexy.

Titanic (most Oscar noms. as well with 14), Ben-Hur, and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King have all won 11 Oscars.

Sorry if you are a fan, but really? LOTR 3 was not that good, at all. I may be the only one who thinks so, but while it was happening, I felt it kept dragging on and wouldn't end (that's what she said). To make it even worse, when it finally ended, the audience did that thing when they all clap and holler. NO ONE WHO MADE THE MOVIE IS IN THE AUDIENCE YOU RETARDS, SO STOP CLAPPING! It's like trying to yell at a def guy, be as loud as you want, but they're not going to heeaar yoouu. Hello, McFly!

O, and more props to James Cameron on this list. Coincidence his initials are J.C.? I think not....

What was the first movie to feature nudity by a lead actor?

Audrey Muson appeared nude in the 1915 silent film Inspiration. A woman who is nude and silent? Brilliant! Too bad the 19th Amendment ruined everything.

What actor has appeared in the most movies ever?

We need to seperate this into two catergories. O, and Porn doesn't count.

Mr. Mel Blanc has been in the most movies ever with 1014 (using IMDB), but mostly as a voice. Still counts though.

What actor has appeared the most in a leading role? That is the one, the only.......JOHN WAYNE! That's right partner, The Duke reigns supreme.

And because I know you were curious, it's Ron Jeremy with over 2,000 films. Times that by the size of his penis in inches, and you get 785,394,302.

What is the most successful low-budget film ever made?

I'm sure many of you aren't surprised with The Blair Witch Project. It had a $600,000 budget, and grossed roughly $249 million worldwide. This attributes to it as the highest ratio of box office sales to production costs. It also spawned the use of using a viral internet campaign for advertisement.

What movie has the most sequels?

Is it a scary movie, like Friday the 13th or Halloween? Perhaps the Land Before Time series? The James Bond Franchise with 22? Is it Amateur Sluts, with over 200? Well, excluding porn movies again, the winner is....

Godzilla. Based on some research and excluding retarded Foreign Films like Huang Fei-hong zhuan: Bian feng mie zhu which has 88 sequels, Godzirra is the winner. Sorry, trying to pronounce that Huang movie made me pronounce Godzilla like an asian. It was a tight race, but the big lizard wins, as always.


Well, there ya have it. I don't really have any more to put up, but if you send me a interesting trivia question on facebook, I'll add it to this list.

You stay classy, San Diego. I'm Kevo?

Damnit! Who typed a question mark on the Teleprompter!
