Bad Movies We Love: Clue

For once in Bad Movies We Love history, I’m both speechless and teary-eyed. The holiday season is here, and as far as I’m concerned, that means it’s time to wheel out the movies that are fucking dependable — the ones that enrich our families, provide nourishment for our newborns, and encourage Jesus to be more of a hilarious character actress. For me, this means one movie — my favorite movie — and one that could be considered bad if you are a heartless, freakish, braindead moviegoer who thinks that skittish ensemble comedies based on board games might be stupid. I would strangle those people in a poorly lit billiard room. The movie is Clue , it’s the one thing on Earth I’m positive I love, and I want to hug you as I write this. Girl, let’s hold our candlesticks high, our dignities low, and bludgeon the daylights out of Mr. Boddy.

Justin Bieber, Werner Herzog to Finally Square Off for an Award

The fifth annual Cinema Eye Honors for Nonfiction Filmmaking will be handed out next month in New York City, with such inveterate documentarians as Errol Morris ( Tabloid ), Steve James ( The Interrupters ) and Kevin Macdonald ( Life in a Day ) facing off against the upstart likes of Alma Har’el ( Bombay Beach ), Tristan Patterson ( Dragonslayer ) and Clio Barnard ( The Arbor ). But look no further than the Audience Choice Award nominees for the most dynamic, high-stakes clash between old and new.

G.I. Joe: Retaliation Trailer Features All of the Dwayne Johnson and El Camino Gunfire You’ll Ever Need

As far as I know, there is only one film in 2012 that features Bruce Willis opening machine gunfire on bad guys from the back of an El Camino. That film is G.I. Joe: Retaliation , Jon M. Chu’s sequel to the 2009 feature, which features Channing Tatum, Dwayne Johnson and at least one sword fight in which all of the combatants are suspended from a cliff. You really have to see it to believe it.

First Great Gatsby Images: Welcome to the East Egg Dinner Theater!

So Baz Luhrmann beats on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into 3-D. In the first photos from his splashy new The Great Gatsby adaptation, stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, Tobey Maguire, and Joel Edgerton vamp it up like humorlessly obsessed guests at a murder mystery dinner party. Anybody else find the casting here a bit too pat and obvious? Leonardo DiCaprio is a… a moneyed and aloofly self-interested man! Tobey Maguire is… a nervous, kowtowing outsider! Carey Mulligan is… the new Mia Farrow again! Well. Check out the images for yourself and see if I’m too cynical.

Caption Tom Cruise’s Most Awkward Red-Carpet Photo Ever

This past week, Tom Cruise has circled the globe in celebration of Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol ‘s international premieres. Along the way, he has sparked one insane rumor (about how the people of Indian will only scream for him if a free buffet lunch is provided) and has been forced to pose with a smattering of random overseas notables like the Duchess of Alba Cayetana Fitz-James Stuart in Madrid last night. What resulted on the red carpet is one of the most awkwardly staged premiere photos of Cruise’s career, and in honor of this, Movieline is asking you for a fitting caption.

WATCH: George Takei Brokers Star Peace By Naming Twilight the Enemy

With the nasty back and forth between William Shatner and Carrie Fisher arguing the eternal question — Star Wars or Star Trek? — it seemed peace was all but a fantasy in the world of science fiction. Enter George Takei, the erstwhile Mr. Sulu and the voice of reason in this galaxy-splitting debate, to unite both fandoms in the hatred of their “ominous, mutual enemy” — Twilight . “And it is really, really bad.”
