Well, you wake up with the monkey on your back, the hair of the dog somewhere in your throat, and oddly you’re wet…inexplicably. Sounds to most of us like you’ve just had a Hangover experience! Now run around frantically waving your arms and screaming at the heavens. This will help.
Not really. But at least there are a few guys who know exactly how you feel…and they’re running this town tonight. Continue reading
A group of adventure seekers armed with trowels is trying to raise money to travel to Tunisia to restore the buildings used for Luke Skywalker’s family home. You remember, the one where his (spoiler alert?) aunt and uncle were killed by imperial soldiers while he was out trying to unravel the mystery of where that pesky R2 unit had run off to.

You know who only did one bachelor party movie? Tom Hanks. He has two Oscars. I’m almost positive if you were to ask Tom how many bachelor party movies you should ever make in your career, he’d probably give you that “Tom Hanks” face and say, “Well, probably just the one.” Heh. Tom. He’s so right, always.
Wanna know who never considered just the one? Yeah, the boys who made The Hangover.
We are all pretty much in agreement that NBC and that greedy human chin, Jay Leno, are a bunch of jerks, right? Yes, well, no one agrees more than Conan O’Brien, who probably got the shortest end of all the sticks in all the world. In this hilarious looking documentary, our chum Coco Ginger (This is a brilliant showgirl name) shows us his journey after the proverbial sh*t hit the fan. Continue reading
As Bridesmaids prepares to go head to head with The Hangover Part II, which is shaping up to look nowhere near as stellar as Part I, there is a rising question as to whether women can be as funny as men in movies. Do they have the same balls-out, funny or die tendencies, and can the “funny gal” ultimately draw the same box office cash and ride that wave as long and far as their male counterparts.
Funny women in movies are a no-brainer, they have been cracking us up since the moving picture began. They are queens at the subtle jibe; the smirking, snarky retort; the cutting, dry humor; or even flat out hilarious physical comedy, but mostly it’s about being funny and fun, yet still feminine and alluring. It would seem that only recently women have been free to do funny in a way that’s self-deprecating, real, honest, possibly unattractive, and, with a little more, well, testosterone than in the past. The question though, in all the gross out humor, does the realization that (gasp!) ladies have bodily functions and are just as spastic, clumsy, aggressive, and overt as any Seth Rogan or Adam Sandler make it difficult to retain the “heart” of the film?

It’s been exactly 47 minutes since the last Kevin James movie, and as a nation we are just starved… STARVED I SAY for more of his fat man in a tight shirt antics. It keeps us up at night, truly. We literally do not know what we’ll do if another minute passes without watching him pratfall, lurch, scream, or stuff various food items into his face. Apparently Sony Pictures feels exactly the same way.
No one is made of stone, and therefore no one should be expected to resist the animal charms of Alex Pettyfer. No, they should not.
That being said, one can ravish one’s eyes on Mister Petit-Four’s person in a science-fiction-slash-fantasy thriller currently in theaters, known as I Am Number Four. Read no further if you have not seen this cinematic masterpiece. Spoilers after the jump. Continue reading
