REVIEW: Yes, Sex and the City 2 Really is as Horrific as You’ve Heard

Posted on May 27, 2010 by | Leave a comment

As I suffered through the nearly two-and-a-half-hour runtime of Sex and the City 2, I kept asking myself: What might I have done wrong, in a past life or in this one, that I deserve to have my eyeballs seared by Sarah Jessica Parker’s loony desert-princess getups? To suffer the agony of watching four actresses who have previously given me so much pleasure become undone by crap dialogue and, in one case, an overinflated ego? To gaze upon a couple of amazingly well-groomed camels and realize that they have better hairdos than the human movie stars astride them?

Posted on May 27, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Holy crap, what happened to Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson? While the rapper-actor has been known to take his acting somewhat seriously in the past, no one likely foresaw the level of commitment he’d assume for his upcoming drama Things Fall Apart . Least of all his fans, who would just like to say that Fitty can regain that 50-plus pounds of muscle and body fat any time now .

Posted on May 27, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Give it up for Jake Gyllenhaal, who appeared on three different late night shows in as many days. On Monday, he busted David Letterman’s chops for recycling interview questions. On Tuesday, he anthropomorphized his Prince of Persia weave on Jimmy Kimmel Live! And last night, he sang about hedgehogs with Jimmy Fallon while wearing a yellow jogging suit. Click through for that bizarre show of talent, and the other highlights you missed last night while crying Nancy Kerrigan-style over the American Idol outcome.

Life As We Know It Trailer: Katherine Heigl Has Poop on Her Face

Posted on May 27, 2010 by | Leave a comment

It’s tempting to say Katherine Heigl is a polarizing figure, until you remember that for something to be polarizing it has to be equally loved and loathed. And when it comes to Heigl, people either tolerate her or want to send her into outer space on a one-way ticket. If you’re in that later group, the fact that she’s a legitimate movie star has to sting just a little bit — don’t even try to fight that one, she is — but the trailer for Life As We Know It might ease your pain. Spoiler: It ends with Heigl getting poop on her face.

REVIEW: Survival of the Dead Devoured by Too Many Unanswered Questions

Posted on May 26, 2010 by | Leave a comment

During the torture-porn heyday, zombie maestro George A. Romero issued a curt but cutting assessment of the trend: “I don’t get [them]. They’re lacking metaphor.” Coming from the father of a micro-genre he has successfully tweaked to suit the times for more than 40 years, that had to hurt. The cyclical resurgence of zombie films — of which Romero’s 2008 Diary of the Dead and now Survival of the Dead are only a part — suggests that the metaphor is key to its endurance; the market for graphic internal anatomy lessons seems more finite. But while Survival of the Dead does its best to work up a decent allegorical bent — this time involving territorial pissing matches within a country under siege — its power is diffused (and frankly, confused) by its execution. Instead of closing in for the metaphorical kill, the film frequently wanders off in a new, noncommital direction.

What’s On: So Long, Simon

Posted on May 26, 2010 by | Leave a comment

I admit that amid my excitement for the American Idol finale (which does exist in spite of season nine’s stank), I’ve forgotten to be sad for Simon Cowell’s departure. I know X-Factor is coming, but a part of my TV-viewing life is morphing forever. Change is not my strong suit. Paula Abdul’s reappearance tonight will soften the blow somewhat, but I’m not prepared for Simon’s inevitable bawling. And by “bawling,” I mean “cheeky quips that create tension between Kara and Paula, probably forever.”

The Hills Reality Check: Brody Jenner’s Guide to Casual Dating

Posted on May 26, 2010 by | Leave a comment

If you were wondering why last night’s episode of The Hills felt different, vaguely organic and less rage-filled, it’s because Spencer and Heidi were gloriously absent. Maybe Heidi tagged along with Spencer on those producer-mandated anger management classes, or maybe editors scrapped the storyline in which Speidi hires a Shetland pony as their business manager and continues isolating themselves from the world, but either way, less Speidi meant that some of the other bit characters could really get deep for the cameras — like Stephanie, who revealed that she had never heard of lacrosse. Click through to see which moments hit the Real/Fake Jackpot during last night’s installment, “A New Bird.”

Yeah, That’s Not the Ticket: Dodgers Sue Jon Lovitz

Posted on May 26, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Fielding a second-place baseball team isn’t as cheap as it used to be, folks. Ask the Los Angeles Dodgers, who have filed suit against a group of 100 season-ticket holders that the organization claims hasn’t paid for its season tickets. Among them: Jon Lovitz — yes, the Jon Lovitz, who gave the world just the catchphrase to handily apply to a scenario like this one.

Adrien Brody vs. Gay Goats

Posted on May 26, 2010 by | Leave a comment

It’s not easy to be an actor who inexplicably owns a castle ! So says Adrien Brody, who had a recent problem with the gay goats he accidentally bought: “The more well-endowed goat took a liking to the other one and I swear it was traumatic. There was a lot of crying and goat noises and I felt incredibly guilty and I didn’t know what to do…It’s best when you have goats that are that gay to just let them free.” [ Ace Showbiz via Towleroad ]

Has Lost REALLY Changed The Way We Watch Television?

Posted on May 26, 2010 by | Leave a comment

If you watched any of the two hours of fan wankery that was the Lost recap show Sunday night, you might have noticed at least one assertion crop up a few times: That Lost has changed television. And lying tangent to that assertion, wrapped up in all those tender fan farewells (and other commentaries ), was the notion that Lost also changed The Way We Watch Television. That, like nothing before it, Lost has rallied us out of our little nerd hideouts to the Internet (or wherever) to theorize, commiserate, fawn or flame. That somehow, before Lost, we didn’t realize the rhetorical power of the medium and were only passive TV watchers. So on this, the day we used to crowd around our laptops to visit The Fuselage or Live Journal or, I don’t know, Fanfiction.net, I say, “Oh, come on. Let’s give ourselves more credit here.”
