Shaq and Lou Amundson Love the 80s

Tweet Everyone knows I love the Suns and, if you follow me on twitter, you know that I have a recurring theme of tying the Suns to Prince’s outstanding 80s music/movie extravaganza Purple Rain. Never could I imagine that the two things would meet in one place, but now they have… plus a little Michael Jackson, Karate Kid and Star Wars. … Read entire article »

Do you like monkey movies?

Tweet Netflix has introduced a new way of sorting films and saving preferences. The new model involves rating a giant series of keywords and categories so that their system can determine the exact type of movies you are most likely to add when you see them as suggestions. Here’s a sample of some of the new “Taste Preferences” … Read entire article »

From board game to big screen

Tweet From Variety Universal has attached Gore Verbinski to develop “Clue,” a live-action murder mystery based on the Hasbro board game that he would direct. [...] “Clue” is one of the few board games to surpass $1 billion in sales, in more than 50 markets. It was developed in England by a retired legal clerk named Anthony Pratt during WWII and released in 1948. A previous film version was released in 1985. I remember the “previous film version” and it was awesome! I have a general rule that Hollywood should never re-make anything starring Tim Curry because there is simply no way to top his performances. Just look at Rocky Horror, which is also supposedly being remade. I can’t even imagine anyone else playing Dr. Frank-N-Furter–seriously, my mind can’t conceive of it! But that’s not the only … Read entire article »

Why does M. Night Shyamalan get to keep making movies?

Tweet Trey Parker once sang, “Why does Michael Bay get to keep on making movies?” and after seeing The Happening on DVD, I’m beginning to think the same thing about M. Night Shyamalan. Once the brilliant young newcomer, Shyamalan’s talent seems to have completely dissipated, leaving only ego and self-importance. Like the Kanye West of cinema, he seems to believe that every film he’s made since 1999’s The Sixth Sense is the greatest thing ever to grace the screen and those who criticize or question his work are simply unworthy of his genius…. [More...] … Read entire article »

DVD commentary tracks can be the best special feature

Tweet For years now, I’ve been quite the DVD commentary enthusiast. It began with the drunken track on the Cannibal: The Musical DVD featuring intoxicatingly funny conversation from an intoxicated Trey Parker and Matt Stone. That track showed that commentaries can be genuinely “special” features… if filmmakers use them to their full potential. Read More | Digg it Posted using ShareThis … Read entire article »

Danny McBride brings home the bacon

Tweet Danny McBride is like the bacon on a cheeseburger. Without it, the burger is still good, but there’s just something even more delicious when you slap a couple pieces of bacon on top. Like the extra flavor from the bacon, McBride brings that extra level of funny to everything he touches. I first took notice of McBride way back in Hot Rod, the critically panned comedy starring the guys from The Lonely Island about a guy with a moped who longs to be a stuntman. McBride played Rico, a crass member of Rod’s crew, and instantly captured my attention with his overly serious and incredibly hilarious delivery. He was also one of the main reasons I went to see Tropic Thunder, the Ben Stiller/Jack Black/Robert Downey Jr. action comedy about a group … Read entire article »

All Harrison Ford movie posters are created equal

Tweet While browsing Netflix today, I discovered that the poster/cover art for almost all Harrison Ford movies is pretty much the same. It’s a picture of Ford, usually in black and white but sometimes in color, furrowing his brow and looking kind of concerned. Then there’s some kind of red text or additional graphic element to make it flashy and action-packed. Don’t believe me? Check these out…                                              From “Don’t You Talk Ugly to Me!” … Read entire article »
