All Harrison Ford movie posters are created equal

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 »

Hulu could be awesome

By now I’m guessing a lot of you have heard about Hulu, the new video site which features network TV and full length movies. I posted a clip on here from Saturday Night Live with Jonah Hill that was up on Hulu. The site provides higher quality video and legit content (no user-created stuff) including some videos exclusive to Hulu. Best of all, you can watch full episodes of some of the best TV shows, like, oh, say…30 Rock!!! The only downside is that you have to sit through about three commercials within each show. While I doubt this will replace anyone’s TV or iTunes, it is certainly a great way to catch up on episodes or clips you might have missed. No more do you have to worry about embedding a … Read entire article »

The Oscars: Why Do I Care?

Trashwire contributor Erin Florence Dean brings us her thoughts on the Academy Awards. Whenever anyone mentions the Oscars and their sponsoring organization, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), there are two questions that run through my ever-questioning mind: What is The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and why should I use their opinions to evaluate the quality of a film? read more | digg story … Read entire article »

Miss Universe 1929

Starz Denver Film Festival Review: Miss Universe 1929 is the story of Lisl Goldarbeiter, the Austrian Beauty Queen who won the title of Miss Universe in 1929. Told using archival footage from her husband Marci Tenczer, the story follows Goldarbeiter from her childhood through her eighties as she becomes a beauty queen, lives through World War I and II, and refuses to leave her beloved city of Vienna. The story begins and ends with Tenczer telling filmmaker Peter Forgacs how much he loved Goldarbeiter and how he thought she was the most beautiful woman to ever walk the earth. While the story of Tenczer’s love for Golddarbeiter is romantic, the film fails to go into any real detail about the more interesting parts of Goldarbeiter’s life. This is a woman … Read entire article »

My new appreciation for Kevin Smith

For the past couple weeks, I’ve been watching a ton of Kevin Smith movies. There’s no real reason for it, I just started watching ‘Dogma’ one day and then decided to check out all the other Kevin Smith stuff I had sitting on my shelf. Since then, I’ve become weirdly obsessed with checking out the guy’s entire collection. I’ve watched everything from ‘Clerks‘ to ‘An Evening with Kevin Smith‘ and I’ve watched most of the multiple times….. Read the rest HERE. … Read entire article »

“She’ll never be part of The Coreys”

‘The Two Coreys’ is a new “reality” show on A&E that stars former 80s stars Corey Feldman and Corey Haim. The show could have been a fantastic celebreality guilty pleasure, were it not so hopelessly contrived. Every episode is less like a reality show and more like a poorly written sitcom, minus the laugh track. A couple weeks ago, there was an episode where slovenly frosted-tipped Haim butted heads with Susie Feldman, the skinny LA wife of his BFF, Corey Feldman, criticizing her for being taking away his former party buddy. As Feldman tried to calm Haim down and tell him to lay off Susie, Haim shouted, “Who is she?! She’ll never be part of The Coreys!” I just like the idea of The Coreys, as a gang of washed … Read entire article »

Marty McFly is link?

For those of us who don’t own a Wii due to it’s rarity in Texas or wherever strollers and PTA meetings are the majority of the population, we probably missed the big news on The Legend of Zelda Series. Well there will no longer be a link to the past but to the future? The latest leak on the development of this Wii Exclusive game has been shown on the Wii TV channel, Nintendo Podcasts, and of course Youtube. But as the announcer states, it’s unclear if the fans will respond or reject the idea of a futuristic link. I don’t know about you Doc, but I’m not ready to go back to the future. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OiLX9Vx9wg … Read entire article »
