Ryan Gosling and Our 20 Favorite Studs

by Greg W. Locke June 12, 2011

A little over a week ago we presented you with a three-parter that was ostensibly a detailed list of our 30 Biggest Crushes on Famous Women. Something like that. No one complained too much and, as we’d hoped would happen, we found some new readers. At dinner the other evening, during conversation, I was challenged [...]

Our Top 30 Talented Beauties of 2011, Pt. 1

by Greg W. Locke June 1, 2011

For starters, it must be said that I feel very weird about this. Very weird. The idea dates back five or six years, when my then – and still – girlfriend told me to make a list of my celebrity crushes – ranked, natch. Innocent fun while having some drinks and hanging out, that’s all. [...]

Oscar’s Biggest BP Blunders

by Greg W. Locke May 8, 2011

For the most part, we at the Ze Cat office like the movie that wins the Best Picture (BP) Oscar well enough; rarely, however, do we think the Academy picks the right movie. And then there are the years where we think the homers blow it all together, selecting a movie that didn’t even deserve [...]

Top 10 Criterion Titles

by Greg W. Locke April 24, 2011

We at Ze Catalist are HUGE fans of the folks at the Criterion Collection. If you’re not familiar, Criterion is a home video distributing company that specializes in what they call “important classic and contemporary films,” taking dead aim at the cinephile market.

Top 50 Stoner Movies

by Greg W. Locke April 20, 2011

Yeah, today is 4/20. And yeah, it’s a cliché. But, for our stoners and ex-stoners out there, we felt it mandatory to put together a list of our 50 favorite stoner-friendly flicks.

Steven Soderbergh Filmography

by Greg W. Locke April 13, 2011

I’m of the opinion that Steven Soderbergh is the hardest working filmmaker of his generation. Not just the hardest working filmmaker, but maybe the all-around hardest working dude who doesn’t break his back building things or compromise his soul shooting things. He recently published a Year In the Life sort of list that documented all [...]
