Dead Birds, Dead Fish: Something Totally Crazy is Happening in Arkansas Right Now

Posted on January 3, 2011 by | Leave a comment

It might be a good time to stock up on canned goods, friends. Hours before the ball dropped on New Year’s Eve, residents of Beebe, Arkansas were shocked when more than 2,000 dead birds fell from the sky . “It was horrible,” said Beebe resident Melissa Weatherly , obviously. “You could not even get down the road without running over hundreds. It was that bad.” Though maybe not as bad as finding 100,000 dead fish washed ashore just 125 miles away.

Trailer Intro for John Carpenter’s The Ward: Who’s That in the Shower?

Posted on January 3, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Welcome to 2011, where we finally transition “trailer announcements” and teasers with no actual footage to “trailer intros.” In the case of this presumably leaked look at Amber Heard in John Carpenter’s The Ward , this term literally means the first half of the trailer. Coming soon: The Movieline 10-second Verdict. But yes, the first look at The Ward offers several mysteries to ponder including: “Why did Heard set her house on fire?” and “Who/what is that creepy shadow in the community shower?”

Will Sony Play the Karate Kid Card in its Oscar War Vs. King’s Speech?

Posted on December 30, 2010 by | Leave a comment

As noted in today’s edition of The Broadsheet, a writer at VF. com has made a compelling (or at least intriguing, or at least time-killing) case for The King’s Speech being little more than a well-produced riff on the original 1984 version of The Karate Kid . On the one hand, tropes is tropes; there are only so many original stories in the world, and eventually everything will have something in common. On the other… I mean, “The unorthodox, uncredentialed teacher is contrasted with a cruel — but more respected — educator.” Or, “The teacher helps fill a void left by the student’s absent father.” Is this the beginning of a covert Sony vs. Weinstein Oscar-season war?

From Classy to Trashy: Where Does the Black Swan Sex Scene Fall on the Girl-on-Girl Taste Index

Posted on December 30, 2010 by | Leave a comment

During her press tour for Black Swan , Natalie Portman revealed that it wasn’t her intense performance — or Darren Aronofsky’s riveting spin on Swan Lake — that attracted both male and female audience members to the theater en masse ; it was the heavily-teased sex scene that she shared with co-star Mila Kunis. But how can the competitive ballerina-on-ballerina relationship (that has been described as Showgirls -esque by some critics) consummated in that scene still qualify Portman for the most respected of acting accolades? Movieline evaluates the artistic merit of the scene ahead (you’re welcome, Academy), and ranks it among the classiest and trashiest cinematic lesbian sex scenes.

DVD: The Best Colin Firth Performance You’ve Probably Never Seen

Posted on December 30, 2010 by | Leave a comment

As awards season kicks into high, and pundits and audiences alike unpack their adjectives to describe Colin Firth’s performance in The King’s Speech , it seemed like the right time to mention one of his wonderfully charming and funny turns that was barely seen in this country — his starring role in Fever Pitch (out of print on DVD but available from Netflix ). No, not the Drew Barrymore/Jimmy Fallon Fever Pitch , although both films were based on the same novel.

Of all the cultural anniversaries and milestones that occurred during the last 365 days, none was more all-encompassing than the 25th anniversary of the time Marty McFly hopped in a souped-up Delorean, headed to 1955 and almost stumbled into an incest-y relationship with his mother.

VIDEO: Star Wars Marijuana Strain Will Take You to a Galaxy Far, Far Away

Posted on December 29, 2010 by | Leave a comment

So, what’s the only thing that could make those Star Wars pies even more delicious? How about a little Star Wars weed to whet your appetite? Yes, of course that exists! A medical marijuana dispensary called the San Diego Organic Wellness Association has developed a “Skywalker” (get it?) OG strain of marijuana, which apparently has a “piny, skunky smell” and will not make you fall asleep immediately. For more details, I’ll let Brittany take it away in the video review below. For more hardcore geeks, the SDOWA also offers a “Death Star” strain. I kid you not.
