Boatlift Banner

The events of 9/11 will never be forgotten.  We’ve all seen the images more times that we can count over the course of the last 10 years.  We’ve heard stories of the dramatic rescues by the Port Authority, the NYPD, and the NYFD.  What we haven’t heard much of however, is the rescues that took [...]

Warning: This Trailer Contains Massive Spoilers

Spoilers Stop Sign

The title of this post should be used as a disclaimer for some trailers these days.  Film trailers are an art form.  The best trailers can and should elicit feelings of need from the viewer.  The NEED to see that film on the first day it’s released.  Or in some cases the NEED to stay [...]

Nic Cage Doppleganger - Crop

Ok this is normally not the stuff I post on but I simple could not pass this up.  EBay seller jack_mord apparently deals in antique, rare photographs among other things.  He has one listing for a photo of Nic Cage from 1870!

Remake Grudge Match on DVD: TRUE GRIT — The Duke Vs. The Dude

duke vs dude

No doubt, when you choose to remake something anew you will draw comparisons and criticisms. The same is true if you choose to bring a book to the silver screen. This is why it’s all the more surprising to me, that 2010’s True Grit by the likes of Joel and Ethan Coen, a remake of [...]

  Today is the Fourth of July also known as Independence Day.  Which makes me think of Independence Day.  Although all of the movie and cable television channels make sure we don’t forget about because they show it all. The. Time!

Happy Birthday Ferris!

Ferris Bueller Banner

  Today marks the 25th anniversary of one of the defining movies of my childhood.  Ferris Bueller’s Day Off was released 25 years ago today and to say that the film made an impression would be a gross understatement.  Being a teenager in the 80′s, my generation (at least my friends and I) looked to [...]

Under the Radar: Haywire

Haywire Banner

  Steven Soderbergh is one of those directors whose projects always garner a bit of attention.  His CV is pretty impressive and normally when he gathers together an A-list cast, news of the film is all over the web.  So imagine my surprise when I happened across a listing for a new film of his [...]

The Case of Mistaken Identity

May 26th, 2011 by Tracy
Plummer - Glover

  Mistaking one actor for another is a very common occurrence.  I’m sure at some point everyone has done it.  Recently I was in the midst of a conversation with my roomie when this very thing happened.  Sometimes the case of mistaken identity is too funny to not share with the masses.

Top Gun Banner

  The year was 1986.  I was 14 and getting ready to start high school as a freshman.  My older sister was getting ready to start her senior year and was at that age where hanging out with her younger sister just wasn’t cool.  Lucky for me though she had a really close friend named [...]
