Trailer of the Week: 'Maniac'

Trailer of the Week: ‘Maniac’

Elijah Wood looks like a sweet boy and he plays such beloved characters like Frodo in the The Lord of the Rings. He has also showed us that he can do comedy really well via Wilfred. But when he plays crazy, he goes for the gold. His sweet puppy dog...
'Fast & Furious 6' Does Ridiculous Really Well

‘Fast & Furious 6′ Does Ridiculous Really Well

Let’s face it. When the end of the world comes the only thing that will survive are cockroaches, Cher, Twinkies, and the Fast and Furious franchise. At this point in the game, do the movies even need a plot? There isn’t a need to put reason into amazing high octane,...
'The Hangover 3': The Most Hangoveriest of Them All

‘The Hangover 3′: The Most Hangoveriest of Them All

It’s difficult to expect a lot from a third installment of a raunchy comedy franchise (remember American Pie: The Wedding?). You may argue that by the time it reaches the third installment it has overstayed its welcome. In fact, creating a comedy franchise in general is quite a task, but...
When Benedict Cumberbatch Takes an Evil Shower, You Have to Watch

When Benedict Cumberbatch Takes an Evil Shower, You Have to Watch

In the wake of Damon Lindelof‘s confession of Alice Eve‘s gratuitous underwear scene in Star Trek Into Darkness, J.J. Abrams recently appeared on Conan and let us in on another gratuitous scene: Benedict Cumberbatch taking a shower…an evil shower. The only kind of shower Cumberbatch’s villainous character could take. Unfortunately,...

16 Things I Took Away From the new ‘Wolverine’ Trailer

There’s a new trailer for The Wolverine. Let’s watch it. I’m excited for this. It not only looks good, but anything is better than that first Wolverine malarky that featured will.i.am and Tim Riggins in a purple silk shirt. In any case, here are important bullet points from the trailer...

Workout Song of the Week: 'Cotton-Eyed Joe' by Rednex

Workout Song of the Week: ‘Cotton-Eyed Joe’ by Rednex

This week’s workout song, “Cotton-Eyed Joe” is dedicated to the gang over at the New Girl as it reminded me that I had the maxi-single of this hit on casette. A “Where are they now?” special is long overdue for the Burning Man/Haight St./steampunk homeless hybrid known as Rednex. Rednex – Cotton Eye Joe from...
Trailer of the Week: 'Fruitvale Station'

Trailer of the Week: ‘Fruitvale Station’

Fruitvale Station (formerly known as Fruitvale) was praised at Sundance and it is already generating bushels of early Oscar buzz…because it’s never to early for that. All of this hype may be valid because 1.) the true story it is based on is layered with intrigue, 2.) Michael B. Jordan and Octavia Spencer are wonderful...
'Star Trek Into Darkness': The Ultimate Moviegoing Scavenger Hunt

‘Star Trek Into Darkness’: The Ultimate Moviegoing Scavenger Hunt

Star Trek Into Darkness opened in theaters yesterday and it pretty much marked the start of the summer blockbuster season (because Iron Man 3 certainly didn’t). Director and the greatest fanboy of them all, J.J. Abrams pretty much set the bar for summer blockbusters — and he set it high. Real high. Star Trek Into...

Finer Feed: New ‘Catching Fire’ Poster, a New ‘Divergent’ Image, and a Creepy ‘Elysium’ Viral Campaign

The new poster for Hunger Games Catching Fire looks like the cover of an ’80s YA novel. I’m fine with that. [/Film] Check out the dope Hammer pants Shailene Woodley is wearing in this brand new image from Divergent! [Hit Fix] This viral campaign for Elysium made me feel like a worthless human being.

Watch: Simon Pegg Talks “Star Trek Into Darkness” and Why We Must Protect Ourselves From Movie Spoilers

There are many amazing things about Star Trek Into Darkness — Simon Pegg being one of them. He returns to the sequel to the prequel as Scotty, the Enterprise’s chief engineer. Scotty is good at what he does…and does it with a fine dose of humor. With roles in movies like Shaun of the Dead...
We Have to Watch 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' Because Joss Whedon Made It

We Have to Watch ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ Because Joss Whedon Made It

There is no need for all this buzz for Joss Whedon‘s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. It is going to be a guaranteed success. For one, it’s a spin off from the uber successful The Avengers which made kajillion dollars. The fans of that will flock to this easily. Add the fan boys/girls to that and you...

The Finer Podcast: ‘The Great Gatsby’ Movie Review With Celine Dion on the Side, Of Course

I enjoyed doing my podcast movie review for Iron Man 3 so much that I decided to do the same thing with The Great Gatsby. And yes, you can rest easy, I decided to incorporate some Celine Dion into the review. I think that might be an ongoing thing. So sit back and listen to...
The New Trailers For 'The World's End', 'Ender's Game', and 'The Butler' Have Nothing To Do With Each Other

The New Trailers For ‘The World’s End’, ‘Ender’s Game’, and ‘The Butler’ Have Nothing To Do With Each Other

The World’s End: Why can’t all movies have the glorious trifecta of Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, and Nick Frost? Their ability to bend genres with a fan boy slant (a la Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz) never fails to impress. This movie involves a pub crawl and, as the title suggests, the end...

There are times when The Huffington Post reports on something so riveting and so journalistically poignant that I have no choice but to share it with the world. This is one of those times. I never knew how much of an artist and a technician Leonardo DiCaprio is when it comes to screaming until I...

Three Videos You Need to Watch Today: Amanda B., Kanye W., and Frodo B.

This video of Amanda Bynes was posted a couple of days ago, but I just watched it yesterday. So it’s new to me…and it is one of the most amazing pieces of journalism to date. Out of curiosity, what would happen if we just stopped paying attention to her? Would she continue this tour of...
Workout Song of the Week: 'Crazy in Love' Cover by Emeli Sandé for 'The Great Gatsby'

Workout Song of the Week: ‘Crazy in Love’ Cover by Emeli Sandé for ‘The Great Gatsby’

Everyone is spazzing and gushing over Jay-Z‘s The Great Gatsby soundtrack, but I’m not…mainly because I really haven’t listened to much of it. But I did hear a couple of tracks…like the cover of Amy Winehouse‘s “Back to Black” by Andre 3000 and Mrs. Beyonce Carter. Yeah. It’s haunting. It’s a little bizarre. It’s an...
