While I disagree with your take on The Lovely Bones, Roger, I do applaud your lambasting of Rush Limbaugh. Here’s the thing: I understand differing opinions and not always agreeing, that’s just part of life. All of us have friends and family whom with we don’t always see eye-to-eye with politically. Limbaugh however is one of a handful of pundits on both aisles of the political spectrum who serves and does no good. Limbaugh does nothing but stir up trouble. …

I read Alice Sebold’s novel The Lovely Bones in 2002 shortly after a close friend’s daughter died in a summer boating accident. We were both young parents back then – he with three young girls, and me with a four year-old daughter. My heart ached for him because, as a father, I could totally fathom the sheer and seemingly never-ending hurt flowing through his soul. Unexpected death is always a tragedy, but it seems the death of a child is …
Whenever I see or hear Miley Cyrus I want to punch my own testicles. It’s true. Having an 11 year-old daughter has filled me with enough Hannah/Miley entertainment to last an eternity. Reading, watching and viewing the sideshow that is her life just makes it all worse for wear. So, to say the least, when I saw this trailer for The Last Song, I was foaming at the mouth for the chance to berate lil’ Miley and her new movie. …
Andy Samberg’s original Saturday Night Live skit, Mark Wahlberg Talks to Animals, was absolutely hilarious. This second go around, Mark Wahlberg Talks to Christmas Animals? Not so much. Nevertheless, I post it below and look forward to you joining me in a chorus of “Yes, Andy, you are absolutely right.” I appreciate them bringing it back. I do. But it didn’t have the same wallop as the first go-around. Happy Monday. Say hi to your mother for me.
I’m not dying to see From Paris with Love, but I will admit, a bald-headed, foul-mouthed, nasty John Travolta is much better than the goofy, hair-plugged Travolta in Wild Hogs and Old Dogs. From Paris with Love is directed by Pierre Morel and also stars Johnathan Rhys Meyers (Mission: Impossible III) and hits theaters on February 5, 2010. Morel was the director of last year’s Taken, starring Liam Neeson. According to IMDB.com, he is set to direct the remake of …
Box office totals won’t be confirmed until Monday, but as of right now Avatar again crushed its competition, hauling in $48.5 million dollars over the weekend, moving James Cameron’s sci-fi epic into seventh place on the all-time highest grossing list (domestic box office, not adjusted for inflation). Sherlock Holmes and Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel were a distant second and third with $16,610,000 and $16,300,000 respectively. Daybreakers and It’s Complicated rounded out the top five with $15 and $11 …
I so wanted to write “New Kick-Ass Trailer Kicks Ass,” but I swore a vow not to write vomit-inducing headlines on Fridays. But man oh man, I cannot wait for April. Seriously. How awesome does this movie look? What’s not to like about bloody violence, teenage shennanigans and little girls who swear like sailors? Wait, that sounds like any night on XBOX Live. At any rate, check out the first full-length trailer for Kick-Ass and, as always, give us your …
