Happy Birthday, Tom Stoppard
Posted on 07.03.09 by Widge @ 11:57 pm

Happy birthday to master scribe Tom Stoppard--who worked on both Brazil and Shakespeare in Love--and whose play, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, is one of my favorites...and one I would travel long, ludicrous distances to play one of the leads in. And have, actually.

Direct link for the feedreaders.

For more evidence of how cool the play is--by way of the movie starring Gary Oldman and Tim Roth--you can check out "Questions" here.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - 27 Second Review
Posted on 07.01.09 by Siege @ 4:44 am
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen teaser movie poster

Written by: Ehren Kruger, Roberto Orci, and Alex Kurtzman
Directed by: Michael Bay
Starring: Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, John Turturro, Ramon Rodriguez, Peter Cullen, Hugo Weaving

Review: The only problem I had with the first one of these was that it tended to have things on the screen that weren't giant robots fighting other giant robots. So that needed fixing. And so it was! This time around, if you're not seeing a big bot tear another's face off (seriously, this is done quite a bit), then you're probably instead focused on some of Megan Fox's various parts. Which is acceptable. You can shut your brain down for this one. Shut it down hard.

Time: 21 seconds

Angels & Demons (2009) - 27 Second Review
Posted on 06.27.09 by Siege @ 2:49 am

Written by: Akiva Goldsman and David Koepp, based on the novel by Dan Brown
Directed by: Ron Howard
Starring: Tom Hanks, Ayelet Zurer, Ewan McGregor, Stellan SkarsgÄrd, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Pierfrancisco Favino

Review: Well, they fixed the hair. And that's good. But they did well with the rest of it as well, and that's unexpected. Instead of an overhyped dissapointment, this one seems to be the unholy union of National Treasure with the first movie. Which occured in a meat grinder. That was on fire.

Also, Anti-Matter! Yay!

Time: 13 seconds

Top 7 Movies That Are Bad For Sex
Posted on 06.22.09 by ScottC @ 5:59 pm
anti sex league

I don't see a wedding ring. It's Room 101 for them.

So called guardians of morality wail constantly about all the sexual pervasiveness in popular culture. These are the people who see Satanism in Harry Potter. They think seeing Janet Jackson's breast for a second will help the terrorists win. It seems like they are convinced that Hollywood will cause the youth of America to have multiracial homosexual sadomasochist orgies in the pulpits of churches while taking the names of Jesus Christ and Ronald Reagan in vain. Will no one think for... I mean... of the children?

But if you actually watch some movies, you'll see that they can be just puritanical, just not as obvious about it. Promiscuity, alternative lifestyles, and sexually active unwed teenagers meet with tragedy for their "immoral" choices--and most of the time it gets them killed. Below are a list of movies where any step outside the sexual mainstream is a step on a landmine.

2012 Film Actually a Remake
Posted on 06.21.09 by Widge @ 3:07 am

Our amigo Kebe pointed this out: Roland Emmerich is apparently not the first person to try and beat Irwin Allen at his own game. Long ago, there was a disaster movie classic that Emmerich appears to be trying to remake. Seriously, it's almost a shot for shot deal except for now we have better FX and no Donald Sutherland.

Direct link for the feedreaders.

The resemblance is downright eerie, don't you think? I'm not usually a fan of litigation, but if John Landis, Jim Abrahams and the Brothers Zucker decided to sue, I'd laugh my ass off.
