So Up retained the number one spot at the box office this weekend with a $44.2 million take, giving a Three Stooge slap, bonk and poke to The Hangover (if just barely) and kicking Will Ferrell and Land of the Lost where they might not have deserved it most- right in the pruney. Which goes to prove Andy and Dan are both prophetic. Or good guessers. Or a couple dudes who can simply state the obvious. Let’s go with the …

So the Final Destination series is really great at tension. In fact, they’re tension factories. Still, they’re kinda dumb. But dumb in the sense that horror aficionados can love it, since the whole premise is taking their arch enemies– IE nondescript young people with modeling contracts– and building a better blunt/sharp object mousetrap to punish them with. And, with no villain but death, it’s a gift that keeps on giving. In 3D, even. Juicy. The trailer for the fourth installment …
As it turns out, The Hangover just wasn’t my shot of Jagermeister. At first, I thought was getting old– that my freewheeling and marginally shameful appreciation of frat-tastic humor was giving way to wrinkly, age-spotted prudery. However, about twenty minutes into The Hangover, I realized I wasn’t experiencing a sudden onset of geriatric clucking— I simply realized I was watching the exploits of men who become brash man-children when exposed to additional testosterone, increased blood-alcohol levels and the prospect of …
I despise George Lucas as much as Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader despises Obi-Wan Kenobi for causing him to have a crispy fried lava crotch in “Revenge of the Sith.” No amount of Viagra or cybernetic devices can ever take the depression of destroyed loins away. And as we know, depression hurts everybody. Hence Vader’s choking of minions, and his eventual killings of Kenobi and Palpetine. But I digress. Let’s get back to George. Here’s my beef: The Prequels are crap. I …
I have two rules in life. Okay, wait, scratch that. I have more than two rules. I have lots of rules. Stuff like “only kick cats if I see them using my sandbox for a bathroom,” or “sugar-free Red Bull makes even the saddest of days bright,” or “white bread, bologna and lots of mayo is always a good idea” and “it’s okay to not shower on Saturdays and spend the entire day playing Guitar Hero on the XBOX 360.” …
As you know, both Dan and I (and Tyler Riggs) loved Disney/Pixar’s “Up” that debuted in theaters last weekend. I received an email from our friendly neighborhood Disney rep regarding some interesting tidbits about the movie. Take a gander at the list below and make sure to take your kids to see the show, it’s 1,000 times better than the “Night at the Museum” sequel. Supervising Technical Director Steve May and his team created a canopy of 10,297 balloons to …
Me, Dan and our good pal Nick are going to see this tonight for a little bromance and mantime. Yes, those are both one word. Anyhow, I have two thoughts: First, this looks pee-pee-in-your-pants-funny. Second, this is not safe for work! Buyer beware!
Actually, this is isn’t so much a “pick” or a “trailer” as it is a rhetorical roll of the eyes and embarrassed headshake at this MTV Movie Awards clip of GI Joe. I know the posting is getting redundant. I’m sorry.
