"Get Smart (2008, Peter Segal, USA) * Anne Hathaway began her movie career as the ugly duckling in The Princess Diaries (2001). But as we know, the ugly duckling turns into the most beautiful swan. And Presto! A little bit of makeup and beauty coaching completes her transformation. A darling new woman appears on screen and even snags her prince charming. In 2006, Hathaway co-starred in The Devil Wears Prada playing an unfashionable assistant who transforms into savvy fashion queen. That same year she was named one of the 50 most beautiful people by People magazine. But in life did something strange happen to Anne Hathaway's innocent face? Did she feel the need to undergo a real transformation? Don't her lips seem to crinkle in the most unnatural way? There have been rumors of plastic surgery though none have been confirmed (to my knowledge). In her latest movie Get Smart, Hathaway disguised as Agent 99 discusses her (rumored) plastic surgery. In the self-proclaimed most honest part ... " [More]

"A Night at the Roxbury (1998, John Fortenberry, USA) ** This is the most unintentionally gay movie I have ever seen. I know that Doug (Chris Kattan) and Steve Butabi (Will Ferrell) are brothers in the movie but everyone knows that they aren't brothers in real life. I know, I know, movies require a suspension of disbelief. But the characters act less like brothers and more life lovers to remember that they are supposedly siblings. So you want examples of their gayness? They sleep in the same room on silk sheets in leopard print underwear. Steve wakes up Doug with a twisler and the eats it. They wear matching (flamboyant) outfits. They keep disco balls in their bedroom. They listen to the Bee Gee's while strutting down the street. They work out together in spandex outfits (and Steve allows the equally queer trainer to feel his pecks). Both Doug and Steve are virgins (because they are so in tune with each other that they cannot interact with women). Doug is extremely jealous when Emil ... " [More]

"Wall-E (2008, Andrew Stanton, USA) **1/2 Be warned: humans grow fatter by the day by consuming fast food in a cup, the earth is in a state of decay, trash lines the cities, and robots- well robots are more cute and cuddly than ever (except…). EXCEPT the evil Hal robot (ok, so the computers name isn’t Hal, but it looks like Hal) bent on destroying man. It must want humans to get fat and it definitely does not want humans to return to earth. But why not? Earth is the universe’s biggest junkyard thanks to the humans’ carelessness (which presumably sent them up into space in the first place). But I guess evil Hal knows that complacent, fat humans are better than environmentally conscious ones. And good thing this Hal does not have a brain, because if it did it would know that letting fat humans who barely have a bone structure because of extreme decay (so much so that they can barely walk) and who think that pizzas grow on trees wouldn’t survi ...

"If I could only watch three movies for the rest of my life (or until rescued) I easily pick 1. Fellini's 8 1/2- in order to remember humanity 2. Demme's Stop Making Sense- It's a perfect concert of my favorite music. Nothing makes me happier. i could watch it every day of my life. Third, This is a tough one, but I ruled out Tarkovsky's The Sacrifice (with would remind of the ever present struggle on the island, a spritual battle, and the ultimate sacrifice) and so the number 3 is... 3. Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut because I need to remember what a real loving relationship looks like. " [More]

Directors
"Kudos to you for watching "Toby Dammit", one of Fellini's best. Anyway, if you can get your hands on it, watch Fellini's Casanova. My 10 Best Directors List- 1. Federico Fellini 2. Andrei Tarkovsky 3. Charlie Chaplin 4. Stanley Kubrick 5. Werner Herzog (best living director) 6. Woody Allen 7. Wong Kar-Wai 8. Jean Luc Godard 9. David Lynch 10. Maybe Jacques Rivette The fact that M. Night Shamalan even made the list is disgraceful. And though most people might not know of him, Hiroshi Teshigahara is a great filmmaker and should be included in the list. " [More]

From Here To Awesome
"The Book of Caleb is about a comfortable underachiever and serial prankster, in the midst of their quarter-life crisis, reunite against childhood enemies in a contemporary suburban epic. What's impressive is that these filmmakers shot this movie in the director's mother's basement on a very low budget. Way to go guys (and gals). I'm sure your hard work has been very rewarding. Check out this behind the scenes look at new movie The Book of Caleb. " [More]
