Yes, the best James Bond ever is 82 today and in his honor, I’m posting Duran Duran’s video for A View to a Kill below. 23 years later and that song is still catchy. Which is good, because the video might possibly make you put a plastic bag over your own head and suffocate yourself. I have fond memories of ol’ Roger Moore suiting up as James Bond. Some might feel a fondness toward Sean Connery’s Bond, and others might …

Not much to say about these new character posters for Toy Story 3. The movie hits theaters on June 18, 2010 and these are all the toys you know and recognize. As a side note, since Jim Varney – the voice of Slink – died in 2000, the lovable little pooch will be voiced by Blake Clark. Clark isn’t a household name, but he’s a regular in Adam Sandler movies. I still would like to see some action on the …
And by WTF, I mean what’s the big freakin’ deal? Of course, I am posting them, so that makes me sort of a Twileech, but really these are so nondescript they could be from any one of the three movies. Oh, heavens! Look! It’s Edward and Bella standing in a forest and surely he’s telling her she’ll never see him again or something else ragingly melodramatic. I’m betting Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are just about done with the Twilight …
You know how you can tell summer has officially bought the farm? Trailer Tuesday. Bombastic musical beats and explosions are gone. Angst-filled yelling and tears and dramatics are the new hotness in pursuit of accolades and the palm logos adorned with “Winner of”. Take Andy’s Precious pick for example: harsh and bleak with a touch of hope. Or Werner Herzog’s Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans*. Harsh and bleak… with a touch of CRAZY. A sequel/remake (but don’t call …
One of my favorite films of all time is Monster’s Ball. It’s full of bleak, despairing truth, as well as hope and life. It’s heartbreaking and heartwarming all at once. It’s no surprise to me that Precious, a film about an illiterate, obese teenager living in Harlem in the late 1980s, is directed by Lee Daniels, as he was one of the producers of Monster’s Ball. In fact, the novelist behind Precious (the novel is actually called Push), a woman …
It’s Pixar, Woody, Buzz and the whole gang of toys back for a third installment and I know I should be excited, but I’m not. I understand Pixar and Disney don’t want to sell the farm story-wise on the first feature trailer, but this preview just doesn’t get me revved up to see Toy Story 3. In fact, it kind of irritates me the studio imagines the fumes from Toy Story and Toy Story 2 are potent enough for a …
Let’s be frank right from the start: Couples Retreat is the kind of movie you can appreciate and enjoy when you’re sitting in the drive-thru at McDonald’s wondering what one dollar Redbox rental will go nicely with your Double Quarter Pounder, pound of fries and cattle trough-sized soda. It’s not a terrible show and has a few funny bits, but its best digested with no expectations, and also while inebriated with sugar and cholesterol. The tragedy of Couples Retreat is …
Apparently the folks in Salt Lake City have DEMANDED that Paranormal Activity bring it’s chills and thrills to their town, because the movie, which Roger Ebert calls “an ingenious horror film…so well made it’s truly scary,” hits the Megaplex 12 at The Gateway and the Megaplex 17 at the Jordan Commons this weekend. My guess is Logan could see this movie in the next few weeks, as Paranormal Activity is becoming quite the cash cow via the buzz it’s generating …
