Movie Review: Arthur
Ladies and gentlemen (mostly the latter), I have fallen in love with a woman. Everyone always says they know ‘hotter chicks’ down at the local grocery store/commissary/strip club, but they peak in one area: shallowness. In this film, I have met a woman I could love until I died. Or my heart fell out, although that would surely lead to… whatever. Anyway, my point is that this woman is magic. In the real world, she’s known as Greta Gerwig. In this piece, she’s known as Naomi. And she’s a hero. Of my heart.

Nick’s Most Anticipated Albums of 2011!
This year’s been pretty flat in terms of new music. The new Strokes was aight, there hasn’t been any good indie rap, and I’ve been feeding on a lot of leftovers I looked over from previous years. But, the rest of the year? Looking pretty sexy…
I Didn’t Like Toy Story 3 As Much As You Did
I grew up on computer animation. Dad would go out and buy or rent any compilation he could find of the stuff and we’d watch it as soon as we brought it home. This was long before movies were almost completely fabricated with it, back when CGI was used for experimental proof-of-concept stuff. So it’s no surprise that at age 11, I was super excited to see Toy Story – my brother and I quoting every line from the trailers as we waited – and it was one of the greatest films I’d ever seen. When Toy Story 2 released an eternity later (four years, anyway), it was far more epic and incredible than the original. Strangely, I had intended to see the third film on opening day, but… I just never did. And when it released on optical media, I just never picked it up ($29.99 for the Blu-ray edition is extortion). So when I found it on Netflix Instant at 2AM, I decided to settle down and finally see it. So are my impressions of the film based on a self-fulfilling prophecy? Read on…
FEZ Interviews: Screened.com’s Matt Rorie!
I recently had the opportunity to interview Matt Rorie, super cool guy and editor for Whiskey Media’s movie site, Screened. Matt, like the legendary Prometheus, graced us with his fire as I prodded him for insight on life as a movie journalist and more important things: like Babylon 5. Read on after the break!
Warner Bros and MPAA Pull The Hangover Part II Trailer From Theaters [UPDATED]
Yes, that trailer above which was being shown before Source Code has been pulled with no explanation given. I don’t really see anything wrong with the trailer I mean it’s The Hangover, if you saw the first one you know what it’s about and the MPAA even approved it, see the green card at the beginning? This trailer is #2 and it will be replaced with #3B and will be shown before Scream 4. After the jump you can see the notice from Warner Bros. Read the rest of this article…
Movie Review: Hobo with a Shotgun
It seems odd that while no one went out to see the Tarantino/Rodriguez experiment Grindhouse, everyone seems hot on fleshing out full films from the despicably fake trailers that ran between its double features. Hobo with a Shotgun, the second adaptation of those crazy-ass trailers, is a gory masterpiece. Rutger Hauer (Blade Runner) plays the titular crazy hobo who arrives by train in Hope City, desperate to save up enough money to start a lawn mowing business, only to find Hope City isn’t what he thought it would be. Local crime lord and straight-from-a-seventies-game-show-host Drake (Brian Downey) and his two sons, Slick (Gregory Smith) and Ivan (Nick Bateman), rule the town by fear in the most absurd and masochistic displays of violence you will ever see committed to screen.

James Cameron Seeks To Make Movies Look Crappier
Dear James Cameron,
It was pretty awesome when you made Terminator 2 because you proved to us that an insanely-budgeted, explosion-filled flick with a super-popular actor playing a killer robot could be pulled off. It was cute when you did Titanic with another insanely high budget (and a partially nude Kate Winslet) and made all that money. It was silly when you did Avatar, made even more money, and inspired a legion of knock-off films with 3D effects that some of us can’t even see. With this new thing, though… c’mon now.
Charlie Sheen Bombed in Detroit for Tour Debut ‘My Violent Torpedo of Truth’
I guess the people that we’re buying the tickets didn’t watch Sheen’s Korner or anything else that he put out on USTREAM because they we’re a little upset in Detroit. I can understand with the ticket prices the way they were, meet and greet was $750/ticket if I remember correctly, some people were buying them on Craigslist for up to $500/ticket. The biggest complaint was that it was boring, duh, and there were a lot of video clips, etc. Read the rest of this article…
Entourage Final Season Starts July 24th!
I’m sad and happy at the same time. Entourage season 8 will premiere Sunday, July 24th at 10:30pm on HBO, but it seems like the end is too soon! I think I started watching it while the fourth season was airing and instantly fell in love with the characters and the story.
