If you missed the KVNU For the People Movie Show on Friday, we talked about TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION and my non-hatred of Michael Bay’s filmography. It’s too easy to crap on Michael Bay and I won’t hop on that bandwagon. Also, he likes to blow shit up and I like watching shit blow up, so, you know, we complete each other. I also generally enjoy Mark Wahlberg, especially when he (or Andy Sandberg) talks to animals. Click here to …

Look, I’m not so high-minded to thumb my nose at Michael Bay movies, as is the norm among my film critic brethren. His films are low on story and high on explosions and sexiness, and I’m okay with that. They don’t pretend to be anything but loud, blockbustery fun. Still, even though I could be labeled a Michael Bay apologist, it makes me sad that his TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION will dominate the screens at the three Larry H. Miller …
It makes me said to write the words “THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY – PART I,” because it reminds me too much of writing “THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN – PART I.” Nonetheless, I’d watch Jennifer Lawrence in THE HUNGER GAMES QUADRILOGY whilst being punched in the man parts by Jean-Claude Van Damme a million times before I’d suffer through one more minute of Stephanie Meyer’s cinematic crotch punch. With that said, check out the minute-plus viral video below, where the salty …
I apologize from pulling you away from the buttloads of STAR WARS VII rumors swirling the web, but this STAR WARS trailer has a little GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY flair to it and you must watch forthwith! Okay! Now that’s done, please return to you regular scheduled rumor mill. Today’s gem? Tom Cruise has a cameo in STAR WARS VII! 2015 can’t come soon enough. Sigh.
I wanted oh-so-badly to like 22 JUMP STREET, but despite the greatness of Lord and Miller, as well as all the wink-wink jokes of how terrible sequels generally turn out, I found this unfunny and kinda boring. GASP! I know. I know. At any rate, lend your ear to this lovely podcast of the KVNU For The People Movie Show where we talk about the not-so-funny 22 JUMP STREET.
What a great weekend for movies! Fans of the John Green young adult novel – THE FAULT IN OUR STARS – can unleash the sniffles and tears in the darkness of the theater, or fans of Tom Cruise can hit up EDGE OF TOMORROW and wonder why in the flying eff a movie with such terrible trailers and horrible marketing can be so ever-lovin’ fantastic. We talked about both of these gems and you can relive the wonder that is …

In case you missed Friday’s movie show wherein we discussed Hugh Jackman’s naked, muscle-bound butt and the general awesomeness that is X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, you can click here to travel back in time for all the goodness that is the five o’ clock hour every Friday. Enjoy!
You know Lars von Trier. He’s Danish. He’s controversial. He got booted from the 2011 Cannes Film Festival for saying he understood and sympathized with Hitler. He’s the man behind such movies as DANCER IN THE DARK, DOGVILLE, MANDERLAY, as well as the more recent ANTICHRIST and MELANCHOLIA. ANTICHRIST is noteworthy because of some good ol’ fashioned genital mutilation, and MELANCHOLIA is on the radar because, frankly, Spider-Man’s old girlfriend showed her naked parts. Now von Trier is hitting audiences …
Is it just me, or do we seem on the verge of zombie overload? I realize zombies are super cool nowadays and Zed is riding the wave of popularity along with superheroes and dystopian young adult fiction, but with books, video games, movies and AMC’s hugely popular series, THE WALKING DEAD, we are knee deep in zombiepalooza and I think the un-dead are about to be relocated to the fringe of coolness and their popularity is going the way of …
