Batman and Superman were my favorite superheroes when I was a young boy and they are my favorite good guys as a 36 year-old father-of-two. I can still remember being at the drive-in theater and watching, mouth wide open, Christopher Reeve done the blue suit and red cape and soar to the top of The Daily Planet to rescue Lois Lane. When we got home, I safety-pinned a maroon towel around my neck, donned my blue pajamas (complete with underpants …

Little by little The Hunger Games movie is starting to gain some speed and movement, something that has to make fans of Suzanne Collins’ novels giddy with joy. First, Gary Ross (Seabiscuit)was chosen to direct, presumably and hopefully, the first of three movies. Ross was given a budget of $60 million and stated he hopes to begin production later this Spring. Since Ross’ hiring, the movie has been confirmed to be PG-13 and recently a casting director – Debra Zane …
Man oh man, I want to embrace the upcoming Thor movie in the worst way, and for three main reasons: First, I dig superhero movies, even though I never had a fondness for Marvel or Thor. Second, I’m keen on seeing how an unorthodox choice for director – Kenneth Branagh (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets) – stacks up to the gold standard of Nolan and Favreau. Lastly, even though they cast the guy off the Brawny paper towels package as …
I Am Number Four, like much of what is hitting movie houses now and in the near future, is based off a young adult science fiction novel, written by Pittacus Lore, a pen name used by authors James Frey (the dude who pissed off Oprah) and Jobie Hughes. After a slight bidding war, DreamWorks won the rights to make the film and assigned D.J. Caruso (Eagle Eye) to direct the feature. I Am Number Four stars newcomer Alex Pettyfer (who …
Right now the Pittsburgh Steelers are wiping salty tears from their beards (ones that would make the leaders of Planet Beardatron proud) and the Green Bay Packers are trying to keep the homoerotic shower celebrations to a minimum as they soap their mullets with Prell. The rest of us? Well, I don’t know about you, but aside from trying to digest the spicy chili I ate four and a half hours ago, I’m trying to sift through the heap of …
I don’t know about you, but I can’t remember the last time Robert Redford actually made a decent movie. Lions for Lambs was blah and The Legend of Bagger Vance was decent enough to wander into thumbs up territory. I’d have to say The Horse Whisperer and Quiz Show were the last movies to showcase Redford’s directorial talent. With his new movie, The Conspirator, due to hit cinemas on April 15, 2011, I’m not sure what we’ll be getting. The …
Ever wondered what Edward & Bella’s half-vampire, half-human little girl, Renesmee (WTF!), would look like? I know I sure did and now I know! Below is the first-ever image of Renesmee (Mackenzie Foy) from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, which hits theaters on November 16, 2012. One thing is certain: Edward and Bella’s love of hanging out in flowering meadows is definitely genetic.
It’s Friday and we should all be wearing a smile because the weekend is upon us. Even better? The month of January is just about over and Spring is that much closer to buoying our spirits and rescuing us from the damnable, frozen, dirty, whorish Winter season. At any rate, check out the sex panther cologne scene (one of my favorites) from Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. Also, for more enjoyment, check out this interview between Ron Burgundy and …
