 ... then you should check out Ebert & Roeper's Movie Review site. I chanced upon it while reading a video game web site of all places.
Roger Ebert, Gene Siskel and Richard Roeper's reviews are the most entertaining I've seen on TV or online (they're up there with reviews by a guy only known as "p" ^_^ ). With the recent addition of their Balcony Archive, you can check out what they thought of films released in the last 20 years.
Their insight is very interesting and they get into very hilarious discussions on films they have different opinions about. But, in my opinion, the best laughs come from when they all rag on a really horrible film.

Stupid is As Stupid Breeds

 After listening to part of the latest episode of TWiT, I became very interested with the film they were discussing, Idiocracy. While not Oscar worthy or even start-to-finish-laugh-your-head-off funny, it gives a downright frightening prospect of where humankind is heading.
The plot revolves around a very average (average intelligence, average everything) American soldier, played by Luke Wilson, chosen to be part of a suspended animation military experiment designed to preserve the world's brightest minds, best entrepreneurs, best whatever. But, like in many movies dealing with freezing someone, everything goes awry (my new favorite word of the month) and he ends up being frozen 499 years more than what was initially intended. He wakes up to a world where the number one TV show is a man getting pummeled in his nut sack repeatedly and the year's Academy Award winner for best picture is a 90+ minute movie of a farting ass and the global population has devolved into, well, idiots.
I can't help but think that we're halfway into this tragic future. With sites like YouTube giving access to morons to share their stupidity with the rest of their kind and Internet anonymity giving uneducated bloggers (ahem) their soapbox to take opinions they pulled conveniently out of their own assholes and post them as facts removing all accountability for being a half-wit.
Anyway, before this post becomes a full-blown rant, watch the film. Buy/rent the DVD or, if you're too cheap, torrent the motherfucker. Now excuse me, while I try to help keep intelligent people away from the endangered species list and procreate as much as I can. I suggest all of you smart people do the same.Labels: Film |

WTF Moment #0006: SuperStrangeVideo.com
|
|
|
|
|
 Can't get enough of the barrage of super flicks from good old Hollywood? Then check out SuperStrangeVideo.com for super hero movies from around the world! They have a pretty nice catalogue in there. They even managed to dig up two of my super rip-off favorites: Super 1, 2, 3 and Alyas Batman en Robin. I still think Capt. Barbell and Darna are even bigger rip-offs than those two Philippine screen gems. Mars Ravelo is a hack! The only real pinoy super hero he made was Panday! But I wouldn't be surpirsed if I found out that that was a rip-off too. I digress. Anyway, It's an interesting site. And be careful with some of the links. Some images are not entirely safe for work.
But it's good to know that Filipinos aren't the only ones capable of ripping off America. The Italian SuperHombres poster is classic! (sigh, and I thought we were so clever to come up with 3 Supermen, but even the Italians beat us to that idea)Labels: Film, WTF |

WTF Moment #0003: Is he fucking serious?
|
|
|
|
|
 Paris Hilton as Mother Teresa??? What the hell? Apparently some bollywood director was impressed that her royal airhead refused to pose nude for Playboy and is now considering casting her for the part.
Hello! She doesn't need to pose for Playboy! We've already seen her skinny naked ass everywhere else! Talk about the potentially worst case of miscasting, ever! God! You'd at least think he'd cast someone who has talent!
It's like casting Anabelle Rama as the Virgin Mary...Labels: Film, WTF |

WTF Moment #0002: What's up with these sequels to 80s movies?
|
|
|
|
|
Rambo 4??? What the f---!? I know that Stallone is currently filming Rocky 6, but isn't making another Rambo movie pushing it? Stallone is too old to make the Vietnam War setting believable. Where is John Rambo supposed to go now? Iraq? You do realize that this is all Schwarzenegger's fault.
What's up with Hollywood making these late movie sequels? And why are these old 80s action stars so eager to reprise their old macho men images now? God knows I'm all for Indiana Jones 4 but this is getting ridiculous! Now if they were making a sequel to Goonies, I think I'll let the Rambo thing slide.
