Idols And Freaks
American Idol is back and so are the freaks. It’s only been two episodes and we have already gotten a birdman and stalker to go along with the usual freaks.
Cloverfield Monster Spoiled
Everyone has been wondering for months what the monster at the center of Cloverfield looks like.
I must give credit to Abrams and company for concealing it so well for so long. However, on the eve of the film’s nationwide premiere, a gif has emerged that reveals the monster in all of its glory.
Renegade Television
One of the most perfect things ever broadcast over the waves of television was the first season of Wonder Showzen by the art/media collective known as PFFR. It didn’t last long thanks to the non-stop references to abortion, Hitler, and puppet sex.
The creators of Wonder Showzen have returned after a hiatus - presumably on the moon - with a (barely) animated show on Adult Swim called Xavier: Renegade Angel.
All Scared Out
The recent double-whammy of watching The Orphanage and the release of a trailer for Doomsday has me lamenting the sad state of horror films these days. What exactly are the problems plaguing this least-respected but beloved movie genre?
Good Fucking Morning America
This morning on Good Morning America, Diane Keaton dropped the f-bomb on Diane Sawyer.
Enough Is Enough
I have fucking had it with the Britney Spears shit. I can’t understand why her fucked up life is a news story and I really can’t understand how people can still be defending her.
Death Of A Young Star
Actor Brad Renfro was found dead in his Los Angeles home this morning. He cause isn’t known yet, but his history of drug abuse is more than likely a factor.
There Will Be Blood - Chris’ Review
I have long been a fan of Paul Thomas Anderson. His latest, There Will Be Blood, has been hyped for quite a while and my expectations were very high. Perhaps too high. Read more
Cruising Through Lunacy
Tom Cruise has no discernible reason to be absolutely fucking nuts. He is good looking, has a hot wife, is super rich, and is beloved by the entire human race.
Well, he’s short … but that doesn’t account for the breakdown.
Actually, the entire blame for Cruise’s slow burn to destruction can be laid at the doorstep of Scientology, the science fictional religion founded by failed writer L. Ron Hubbard. They have obviously hooked Cruise up to their auditing machines one too many times.
There Will Be Blood - Ray’s Review
Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest, There Will Be Blood, has been receiving accolades for a solid month - hell, it just won star Daniel Day Lewis a Golden Globe - yet it hasn’t been shown theatrically to most of the country. If you don’t live on the coasts, you might as well be dead.
And while no film can live up to the monumental hype surrounding this film, it still manages to disappoint due to a misguided second half.
Busting The Closet Door Down
Tomorrow is the day in the U.S. that the unauthorized Tom Cruise biography is being released, and Tom is pissed. In fact he feels like a straight man being pulled out of a closet with leather chaps on and cum dripping from his mouth.
An Epic Tale Of Sodomy
Long before Peter Jackson made King Kong or the Lord Of The Rings trilogy, he created another Epic tale. A tale of sodomy.
60 Minutes To Long
Why is Andy Rooney still alive? He’s like a cockroach, he’ll never go away. Read more
National Treasure: Book of Secrets - A Review
I know that this is quite late to review this film, but the truth is I hate seeing PG rated movies too soon after they come out because there is always a group prepubescent 11 year old fucking up the experience. So I waited. Was it worth it? Read more
2007 - The Year That Was
For months many critics have been talking breathlessly about the high quality of films in 2007. “This is the best year for films since 1999,” they exclaim, and they might be right.
Hollywood Elsewhere posted a cool video compiled by Matt Shapiro of World of KJ that pays tribute to the many fine films of 2007.
The Writerless Rant
I really love Bill Maher and his Real Time show. It seems to be one of the last havens of smart, witty, nail-on-the-head discussion on television. In fact, I think a show teaming Maher and Jon Stewart would be a liberal powerhouse unlike any other; they should run for President and Vice President.
Maher has a potent mix of brains, truth, and anger which no writer’s strike can stop, as Maher showed on last night’s return to the airwaves minus his staff.
80’s Pop With A Metal Twist
Have you ever wondered what some of your favorite 80’s pop songs would sound like if they were metal songs? Well, wonder no more.
The Orphanage - A Review
Remember the days when horror films only tried to scare the shit out of you with some sort of monster? The set up was simple: monster/demon/psycho stalks and kills people until he/she/it was (usually) defeated by the hero.
Since The Ring, we have been deluged by horror films with complicated storylines and lots of prettified cinematography. Producer Guillermo Del Toro’s The Orphanage continues that unfortunate trend.
Don’t get me wrong - there’s still some good here.
Baby Hollywood
Hollywood stars spent most of today shitting out critters, as a host of famous and not-so-famous gave birth to the future generation of coke addicts and whores.
Check out the new babies!
The Savages - A Review
Late in writer/director Tamara Jenkins’ The Savages, playwright Wendy Savage (Laura Linney) looks at her brother Jon Savage (Philip Seymour Hoffman) and asks, “Do you think it’s a little self-indulgent?”
As far as this movie goes, the answer is a resounding YES!
