Duke Nukem has recently made a major resurgence after an extended absence from ass-kickery and global heroism.  Duke Nukem Forever is the newest installment in his franchise of video games and to celebrate, I’m gonna let you in on a little secret:  Duke steals his best one-liners from classic action movies.  Maybe you already knew Read more...

Well, well, well Mr. Chris Hansen from Dateline NBC’s ‘To Catch a Predator’.  Who’s the predator now?  Cheating on your wife and thinking that cameras don’t exist (you do know that you host a hidden camera TV show, right?). To celebrate your wonderfully misguided direction in life, I would like to share a mini-soundboard for Read more...

As always, remake mania is still spreading wildly like an STD at Lindsay Lohan’s birthday party.  I recently learned of some more information on childhood favorites that are about to become the latest victims of the Hollywood Rehash Machine.  And, once again, the recently announced titles are from 1980′s classics collections that should not be Read more...

It has been 25 years since Transformers first hit the big screen and I bet most of you don’t even know it.  Michael Bay’s 2007 entry was the first live-action attempt (thank god they didn’t try that in the 80′s) but back in 1986 my 7 year-old butt was plastered in a seat at the Read more...

Now that the 3rd entry of Michael Bay’s epic live-action films of the beloved TV show is upon us, let’s take a quick look back at the first Transformers film (excuse me, 2nd film actually) and remember some of the spoken lines that resonated with audiences from the TV series as well.  As any fan Read more...

Well, out come the big guns (literally) as Hollywood unleashes the star power of giant robots vs. Juliom Hankberts (my newly coined term for Julia Roberts & Tom Hanks appearing in the same film) which will undoubtedly attract the opposite people, but probably will have some crossover potential (If I have to sit through THIS, Read more...

It sure seems like we’ve lived through this before.  Every decade since the 1950′s has had a run of 3D released titles and now, more than ever, it appears that theater owners and movie studios are relying on that trend to make them more money than the film is worth.  Most theaters have an option Read more...

Did you happen to go to the movies this past weekend?  See anything good?  Well maybe you contributed to the numbers below. Weekend Box Office Results: 1.) Cars 2 ($68M) First week of release, and just like I thought the critics trashed it for being lame.  Still made boatloads of cash. 2.) Bad Teacher ($31M) Read more...

You gotta love Nicolas Cage.  You have to!  He seems to be just as wacko in real life as he does in so many of his movie roles.  From his recent drunken altercations in a tattoo parlor, to not paying his taxes, to freaking out in Romania, he never ceases to entertain.  That is why Read more...

Few movies from our childhood carry their charm into our adulthood, but 1985’s ‘The Goonies’ has managed to surpass that charm and explode into a pop-culture springboard for the actors involved.  Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, I idolized the kids in this film and always hoped (and still do) that I would find a Read more...
