Trailer Premiere: ’80s Rock Icon Battles Demons in Bob and the Monster

“It was one of the most magical times ever,” recalls Anthony Kiedis of the 1980s Los Angeles punk scene that gave birth to bands like his Red Hot Chili Peppers amidst a haze of sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll. But for indie rock icon Bob Forrest, lead singer of the post-punk band Thelonious Monster, the freely available substances that liberated the scene also sent him into a spiraling drug dependency that ruined his career. After years of battling his demons, Forrest became a renowned drug counselor helping others, and his struggle formed the basis of the documentary Bob and the Monster .

REVIEW: Appetites Go Awry in Nifty, Nasty Horror Import We Are What We Are

You might want to catch We Are What We Are before its inevitable, much-too-glossy remake brightens the walls of American multiplexes. I saw it last fall at the 2010 Fantastic Fest in Austin, where writer/director Jorge Michel Grau’s deft confidence at rendering his tale of family dynamics gone horribly awry in Mexico City got his film a jury prize.

The 9 Most Scathing Critical Responses to Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son

We knew this day was coming: The day when Martin Lawrence’s latest fat-suited outing, Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son , would cause global hysteria with its daring exploration of transgender issues, father-son dynamics, and the plus-size mystique. But not everyone managed their expectations like Movieline’s own Michelle Orange ; our critical colleagues (especially those across the pond in the U.K., where Big Mommas opened earlier this week) were not so forgiving. Behold, the nine most scornful take-downs of what just might be the worst-reviewed movie of the year:

MGM’s Post-Bankruptcy Plan: Remakes of Your Favorite Movies

Good news first: MGM must have read Moveline’s list of films that can never be remade! Whew!

Weekend Forecast: Happy President’s Day! Hollywood Hates You

I think it was Abraham Lincoln who said, “A man in a frock is a box-office lock.” Or was that Franklin Roosevelt? I get them confused sometimes. I do know that our current president Barack Obama famously uttered the enduring proverb, “Holy Christ, they made another Big Momma movie? Michelle, hide the girls!” And you don’t even want to know what he said about the rest of the President’s Day weekend’s multiplex line-up. Let’s break it down as quickly and painlessly as possible:

American Idol Hollywood Week: God Bless None of These Children

Hollywood week wrapped up last night, but most of the auditioners left the Kodak without fielding a word of terrible scrutiny. Let’s fix that! I’m going to be ruthless. When you destroy the classics of Ray Charles and, uh, Bobby Brown with your snarly showboating, I nominate myself to hurt your feelings. Onward.

Craig Ferguson On Late Night, Stand-Up, Alcoholism and Freedom to Say ‘F*ck’

It’s fairly standard policy for a publicist to request that the questions stay on topic to whatever is being promoted. In this case, with Craig Ferguson — best known, of course, as the host of the Late Late Show on CBS — this pretty much opens up every aspect of his life since his new Epix stand-up special, Does This Need To Be Said? , addresses subjects as diverse as his battle with alcoholism to David Letterman’s sex scandal. Indeed, Ferguson admits, casual viewers might be shocked what the “nice man on TV” has to say when he’s unfiltered.
