As we mentioned in our earlier post today we will be temporarily
releasing content and posts from our sibling site reel fives
(www.reelfives.com). We hope this is not too confusing so here's the
lowdown:
We are bringing back up to speed our blog network which includes this
blog (eggs benedict dc), our mostly peruvian food blog (jostage
kitchen), and our movie blog which used to be called rocking potatoes
but has changed its name to reel fives. The reel fives website is in the
process of turning into a broader website to find what the best and top
movies are for each genre through a ranking and rating system based on
the top fives that are reported for each genre.

Reel Fives: Open invitation to suggest film genres for our pre-launch movie rankings
*Hi everyone-- if you are confused about this entry (since its not brunch related) please see the disclaimer below. These posts are temporarily here but please go to the actual site: www.reelfives.com ***
Please share the film genres you are interested in seeing ranked with us!
Our goal at Reel Fives ( www.reelfives.com) is to help you pick the top movies for each genre. Our focus is on rigor as well as on the ability to provide movie rankings and ratings within each different genre in film. As mentioned in our previous post, we well begin by providing pre-launch rankings for two specific genres: zombie movies and superhero movies. However, our aim is to not only establish the top zombie movies or top superhero movies but to do so for as many relevant and established (or establishing) genres as possible.
Currently, in our beginning stages and until our website's launch, we will publish several pre-launch movie rankings on some of the more popular film genres. The reason doing it this way rather than waiting for the beta version of reelfives.com to be launched to publish the rankings is that there is a great deal of complexity and functionality that will be required by our system due to the level of data aggregation and analysis we anticipate. We are in collaboration with custom exposure to develop this as soon as possible, but at the same time, are also very eager to generate the content that we are excited to provide to establish the top movies in each genre.
Therefore, after we generate our first set of rankings for establishing the top superhero movies and top zombie movies, are there other film genres that our readers would like see movie rankings for? One way to think about is: for what category of film would I like to know what the best movie is? We are eager to find out too. Please leave us a comment with your suggestions or send us an email. Here are some of the genres we are considering, aside from superhero and zombie films, for conducting pre-launch rankings:
Post-apocalyptic movies Examples: Mad Max (1979), The Book of Eli (2010), The Road (2009), Wall-E(2008)
Disaster movies
Examples: Earthquake(1974), Twister(1996), The Poseidon Adventure (1974), When Time Ran Out (1980), Disaster Movie (2008)
Sports movies
Examples: Rocky(1976), The Mighty Ducks (1992), Chariots of Fire(1981), Wrestler (2008)
Westerns
Examples: A Firstful of Dollars (1964), The good, the bad and the ugly (1966), Django Kill(1967), True Grit (2010), Unforgiven (1992)
Gangster movies
Examples: Pulp fiction (1994), The Godfather(1972), Casion(1995), The Departed (2006)

Reel fives: Upcoming rankings for Superhero and Zombie films
**Hi everyone-- if you are confused about this entry (since its not brunch related) please see the disclaimer below ***
While the reel fives website ( www.reelfives.com) is still in development we plan to begin building rankings and ratings for films and movies within selected genres. The broader and functional reel fives website, currently under development, will have a great deal of functionality and rigor but in anticipation we plan to list preliminary rankings for movies based on their rankings or ratings across the web. Similar to what is done in sports with preseason rankings for the teams in each league, we will in some ways predict how movies within genres will be ranked based on currently available rankings and ratings information and well as relevant movie reviews. Of course, once our Reel Fives flagship website www.reelfives.com is launched these might significantly change.
The first two genres that will be covered will be zombie movies and super-hero (including comic book-based and more broadly defined) movies.
The motivation for Reel Fives providing pre-launch rankings to determine the best zombie films is the current attention to this genre. AMC's show The Walking Dead has generated a substantial fan base for this genre through its ability to show the promise in this genre and bring to light the elemnents of the genre that contain mass appeal. Reel Fives will be publishing this first rankings article on zombie film in the coming weeks. Again, this will be based the top 5 ratings system from currently published ratings and rankings in anticipation of our more rigorous rankings that will be generated when our website is launched.
The motivation for Reel Fives providing pre-launch rankings to determine the best super-hero films is also the current attention to this genre. Although this genre's general appeal has not changed significantly there are some titles being released in the next year that will likely have significant influence over where this genre stands. After the growth in the super hero movie genre that took place following Iron Man (2008) through Marvel's lead up to and release of The Avengers(2012) along with the commercial and critical success of The Dark Knight (2008) whose popularity transcended significantly beyond just the super hero film genre, there has not been significant gain the popularity or devoted audience for super hero movies based on the titles that have recently come out,. These titles are largely sequels, and have had a relative lower level of commercial success as a whole (albeit Avenger Age of Ultron (2014) had among the highest revenues in 2014). Following Marvel's success in setting up a consistent and seamlessly interwoven representation of the Marvel Universe, DC has began to follow this model. The highly anticipated title Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) will be the first film to create a modern cross-over of this type coming out of the DC comics Universe, which is as expansive as Marvel's counterpart. The success of movies based on DC super hero characters was historically greater than for movies based on Marvel characters. Batman(1989) and Superman (1978) which were based on DC characters were seminal in the genre and remain among the most highly regarded super hero movies. However, ever since the comic book boom of the early 90s (see this article on the comic book bubble of the 90s) movies based on DC characters, with the exception of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy, have trailed behind those based on Marvel characters. Therefore, we at Reel Fives view the upcoming introduction of Justice League movies, DC's counterpart Marvel's Avengers, with soon to be released Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) as having the potential to significantly shift the super hero movie genre's landscape. Currently it is being reported from some sources, sensationally, as possibly the most expensive movie of all time-not just for DC super hero movies or the super hero genre. For these reasons we (Reel Fives) will be publishing our first rankings article on super hero films/movies in the coming weeks. Again, this will be based the top 5 ratings system from currently published ratings and rankings in anticipation of our more rigorous rankings for super hero movies that will be generated when our website is launched.

We are bringing back up to speed our blog network which includes this blog (eggs benedict dc), our mostly peruvian food blog (jostage kitchen), and our movie blog which used to be called rocking potatoes but has changed its name to reel fives. The reel fives website is in the process of turning into a borader website to find what the best and top movies are for each genre through a ranking and rating system based on the top fives that are reported for each genre.
Reel five posts on movies: content will also be coming out here.
Since our new website reel fives (www.reelfives.com) is just starting we will be posting articles simultaneously on this and on the reel fives site since our readership for this blog is higher. This will only be a temporary measure until we get our feet under us on reel fives. Eggs benedict DC will resume normal posts (and new ones since it will also be resuscitated soon after many years in hiatus to provide brunch eggs benedict reviews for the dc area). Thanks for your patience with us through the process of bringing and expanding our blogs. We hope that you will find that as reel fives movie ratings and rankings become available ( as always, along with movie/film news) you will be able to read, enjoy, and most importantly SHARE OUR CONTENT :).

facebook and twitter reel fives accounts now set up!
Hi again everyone,
As mentioned recently we are working on a new movie and film website ( reel fives) that will help find movies and film through providing a movie ranking system. The idea is to identify the best movies based on the top 5 movies that people report for each genre, or in other words, each type of movie. Reel Fives therefore is a compilation of top 5 movies essentially serving as an aggregator. We hope to include broad movie and film genres such as drama, comedies, and science fiction to more specific genres such as kung fu movies, zombie movies, space movies, time-travel movies, horror comedies, buddy comedies, romcoms, robot movies and create feature movies. The website for the movie and film rankings is still under works so we are currently publishing through the blog's previous home: rocking potatoes.
Although rocking potatoes covered everything entertainment, reel fives (reelfives) will only cover film. And unlike rocking potatoes that basically provided reviews for movies and tv shows (along with some summaries), reel fives (or reelfives) will focus on helping you pick out the best movie for each specific genre. So as mentioned the main domain is
www.reelfives.com
and our twitter and facebook reel fives ( reelfives )pages are:
https://twitter.com/reelfives
https://www.facebook.com/reelfives
We encourage all of our fans, especially dc fans (we are headquartered here) to find the best movies in your favorite genre through us.
Please check in periodically for updates.
Apologies to all our fans for these plugs but they are necessary at this early point in reel fives

... a new new blog that we are putting out about film and best movies for horror, comedy, drama, and every other genre and sub-genre
Hi everyone, just a quick note that we have another new associated
blog. It is Reel Fives which provides movie ranking and movie news.
Please check it out if you have a chance:
www.reelfives.com
Although this blog began in 2005 when Yelp was just starting out at this point the is little added value so apologies if there have not been new entries in several years. However, we are keeping the blog alive to hopefully in the future hyperfocus more on rating eggs benedict (the dish, specifically) around the DC area. In the mean time if you enjoy movies check out Reel Fives! Top five movies in each genre.
