Happy Memorial Day!

I just want to wish everyone, especially our men and women in the armed forces – those who have passed and those who still serve, a very joyous Memorial Day. I thought about posting a picture of a big ass aircraft carrier, because that always makes me feel patriotic, but instead I thought I’d leave you with this lovely image. Happy Monday.

Tom Cruise Likes Robert Pattinson’s Dirty Hair

Earlier in the week we had Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker) dissing Justin Bieber’s noisy chip eating in a 2010 MTV Movie Awards promo, and today we have Tom Cruise revisiting his Tropic Thunder character, Lex Grossman, and giving Robert Pattinson (The Twilight Saga) the third-degree over his scruffy appearance. If this is a prelude to the kind of spoofs we’ll see during the actual June 6 awards telecast, I might be changing my tune and not just watch for

Trailer Tuesday: Predators

I have routinely crapped on 2010’s line-up of summer movies, but Predators is one I have high hopes for. Alas, I also had high hopes for MacGruber and that movie was nothing short of absolute garbage. Probably one of the least funny “comedies” I’ve ever seen. Ever. Personally, not to be Debbie Downer, but I think we’re going to see much more disappointment before the summer’s over. Anyway, check out the trailer below for Predators and let me know if

Shrek Forever After Movie Review (C+)

Shrek and Shrek 2 can easily be referred to as animated classics and have, like nearly every feature film in the Pixar canon, set the standard for tone and design in computer-animated movies for the last decade. Using irreverence as fuel – almost making concerted efforts to be the anti-Disney, and buoyed by an eclectic list of effective voice talent, the first two Shrek films were able to appeal to adults and kids with its fairytale mix of sweet and

Francis Ford Coppola’s Beard Also Hates 3D

I hate 3D. Dan hates 3D. Roger Ebert hates 3D. Francis Ford Coppola hates 3D, and now, in a show of solidarity, Francis Ford Coppola’s beard hates 3D. You hear that Hollywood?! Keep your damn 3D glasses! This ain’t the 1950s! Well, unless you count the culture of fear spread like putrid mayonnaise across the minds of Americans by the TV and radio political pundits and the government…but that’s another story! Long live Planet Beardatron!

Trailer Tuesday: Super 8

If you’ve seen Iron Man 2 in theaters, then you’ve seen the teaser trailer for the new J.J. Abrams movie, Super 8. There’s not much we can ascertain and glean from this one minute and thirty second spot, but I could give a rat’s bahookey – this is how teaser trailer’s are supposed to look. Take a peek below if you haven’t seen the trailer yet, and we’ll keep you posted on any story details, but for now all we

Dear Shia: Indy 4 Sucking Wasn’t Your Fault

Like George Lucas’ Star Wars prequels and Steven Spielberg’s The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is a shared blight between the two legendary filmmakers and was a giant disappointment. Like the new offerings to the other franchises, I initially forced myself to like the movie, but on subsequent viewings realized I was in love with the nostalgia, not the actual movie. Shia LaBeouf, who played Indy’s son Mutt Williams in The Kingdom
