Real quick… can you name this movie by simply looking at this poster? While we’re not usually in the habit of discussing films pre-1974, let this be the exception, damn you! Ok, so the one thing I like more than movies is the poster art that accompanies them. Which is why you get an inordinate amount of poster posting up in these parts. And while older movie posters have their dated charm (and outright genius) leave it to Turner Classic …

Just a quick note to say Happy 4th of July to all our readers and listeners. We should all be very grateful to live in a country where we have so many freedoms and luxuries. And on that note, I leave you with a few clips of patriotic speeches from film. Be safe and enjoy your 4th!
I don’t know about you, but when I hear the words “sexy” and “entertainment” put together, I immediately think of me, a sequined thong and Sir Mix-a-Lot’s “Baby Got Back” turned up to 11. Yeah, that’s how I roll. But others, like Entertainment Weekly, like to think of the 50 Sexiest Films of all-time. Check out EW’s roundup here and let me know if you agree or disagree with the batch. My thoughts? First off, “sexy” is hard to define. …
Empire Magazine is celebrating it’s 20th Anniversary and the folks at Empire have put together a visual movie quiz called “The Cryptic Canvas.” Essentially the painting contains 50 clues representing 50 films. Can you get them all in one sitting? I did it tonight in 45 minutes. If you need help or get stumped, leave a comment and we’ll help. Its fun and your boss won’t care if you do this at work. But if you get fired, this post …
Saw “The Proposal” yesterday, the new movie starring Ryan Reynolds Betty White and Sandra Bullock (review coming next week), but I also saw this on Funny or Die this evening. I chuckled heartily and think you will, too. Enjoy!
My unabashed love for “The Hangover” is akin to Dan’s love of “District 9,” so taking a page from his book, I will acknowledge my adoration, but I will not apologize. No, sir! And with that, here’s Mike Tyson singing along to Phil Collins “In the Air Tonight” in an extended “The Hangover” preview. Enjoy!
If you simply cannot wait until November and must have your fix of Christmas festivity in June, then keep reading, because next week, on June 16th, Disney is rolling, literally, into Ogden with its “A Christmas Carol” train tour. Yessirree, the Robert Zemeckis-directed “multi-sensory event” hits theaters on November 6, 2009, but someone at Disney and Hewlett Packard thought it would be the shiz niz to chug on down the tracks, stopping in sixteen cities to promote the Jim Carrey-as-Ebenezer-Scrooge …
I watched “The Hangover’s” Bradley Cooper on Saturday Night Live this past weekend and this bit they did called “Bad Guys, Good Conversation” was pretty funny. I love that he is Johnny from “The Karate Kid” and I love that Bill Hader is Buffalo Bill from “Silence of the Lambs.” Enjoy the clip!
Yes, I know The Hangover exceeded expectations. Yes, I know I’m in the minority for giving it two stars. But that wasn’t because this gold-plated impromptu piano ditty. Unfortunately, to make it all-ages appropriate, the trailer sloppily cuts the abrupt, song concluding s-bomb, which is really what made the song all the more endearing. Cussing or not, this sweet number reminds me of an Andy Samberg/Adam Sandler/Jimmy Fallon sing-along and there ain’t nothin’ wrong with that. Please, meditate in the …
I despise George Lucas as much as Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader despises Obi-Wan Kenobi for causing him to have a crispy fried lava crotch in “Revenge of the Sith.” No amount of Viagra or cybernetic devices can ever take the depression of destroyed loins away. And as we know, depression hurts everybody. Hence Vader’s choking of minions, and his eventual killings of Kenobi and Palpetine. But I digress. Let’s get back to George. Here’s my beef: The Prequels are crap. I …
