As the year comes to a close and another is soon to begin, one way we can all attempt to maintain the illusion that humanity has some measure of control over life, and is not […]
When was the last time a movie made you cry? Mufasa’s death? Snape’s death? The death of the shoe in Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Are you sensing a pattern here? The easiest way to wring some cheap […]
2023 hasn’t been kind to Ashton Kutcher but to be fair, it’s not like fate was dealing him a bad hand. Both the past and present versions of Kutcher brought it all on himself, including […]
When a company is basically linked one-to-one with the entire idea of “imagination,” you’d think that they would support, above all else, new art. It’s probably incalculable how many young creatives were inspired by the […]
Chevy Chase stopped hurting Joel McHale’s feelings back in 2009. At least that’s what McHale told PEOPLE after Chase bashed Community for about the 100th time during an appearance on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast. Community just was “not funny enough” for […]
Dan Aykroyd once punched a hole in the wall of Lorne Michael’s office. Why? He was sick and tired of all the last-minute script changes on Saturday Night Live. “I was so mad at the way […]
Hardcore movie fans are a demanding bunch. The performances must be jaw-dropping, the cinematography groundbreaking, and all the other tiny little pieces that make up a production perfectly in place before everyone will agree it was okay. […]
With movies as with all human bodily creations, they can’t all be winners. In fact, some stink bad enough to make you wonder what God was thinking with this whole “humanity” thing. Whether it’s Hollywood propaganda, […]
When asked why he loves cows so much, Gary Larson once said, “I’ve always thought the word cow was funny, and cows are sort of tragic figures. Cows blur the line between tragedy and humor.” He […]

Who among us could ever forget maybe the most iconic movie athlete of the 1990s: Buddy “Air Bud” Framm. You could try to argue that he has a rival in Michael Jordan and Space Jam. Sure, Jordan […]
Music is a movie’s unsung hero (okay, it’s sung a good percentage of the time). Without a score, everyone would be sitting around in awkward silence, sniffles and stomach gurgles painfully amplified. But it goes deeper […]
Slot machines are a fool’s game. Everything at a casino is a fool’s game, unless you visit with the assumption that you plan to lose money, but slot machines have the added problem of not even […]
It’s a bona fide Christmas classic. It’s the one where Chevy Chase uncomfortably lusts after a young woman for absolutely no reason. It’s the movie that features four SNL cast members and stars Mae Questel, the voice […]
