So before we get to the ladies, please take some time to familiarize yourself with the American Cancer Society’s mission to fight Breast Cancer and do what you can to stop Breast Cancer. Now on to The Fifty Best Breasts in Movie History… MAE WEST: IN THE BEGINNING The woman who brought curves to the screen was Mae West, the taboo-breaking Brooklyn-born 1930s wisecracker who plied laughs while shaking her astonishing anatomy....
At least a month before, I started getting emails from worried out-of-town guests. Had I heard if the show was still going on? They were getting messages that the show had been cancelled; other folks had heard that the show had changed hotels, flights were being cancelled, etc. This had happened last year, too. Apparently, there is some bad blood between Frightvision’s promoter and that of another very popular show, Cinema Wasteland....
Josh (Ethan Sharrett) is in haggard condition. His family life is in disarray after his wife finds out about the mistress he had going on the side, and at the top of his frustration, he climbs into the back of Bob’s (Theodore Bouloukos) cab and spills his life story to the stranger. Bob is a quiet sort, looking like a gentle, wise bear, and he dutifully listens to Josh’s story before pulling over to tell a little tale of his own....
Around the same time fans started lining up (in front of the wrong theater, as it turns out) for “Revenge of the Sith,” Toys “R” Us, Wal-Mart, and other quality stores had a midnight sale to unleash the new wave of “Episode III” toys, including the likes of “Holographic Yoda” and “Lava Reflection Darth Vader” (I was holding out for “Lava Immersion Jar Jar,” myself). Hasbro, which holds the film’s toy licenses until 2018, is hoping to see boffo sales figures for what we’re told will be the last movie of the series....
U.S. officer Israel Terry (Damian Conrad-Davis) awakens in the desert, suffering from a head wound. He seems to be the only survivor of a battle near Tucson’s Picacho Peak. Israel crawls until he finds a river. Here, he encounters a Confederate private, Moses Jennings (Sam Bullington), who’s making his way to join Confederate forces. Moses knows some first-aid and offers to tend Israel’s wound if they travel together, as there’s safety in numbers....
This is not a political film, but the contentious election of Biden vs. Trump plays heavily in the background. The documentary follows the lives of average Americans, half of whom you’ll like and the other half you won’t. What you’ll find, though, is that they all have personal struggles in life and that they’re just as unhappy with the division as we are. Documentarian Palmer makes an interesting choice from the start....
See, it’s always a twitchy concept, taking an old story and trying to update it. Longtime readers will remember my “Dr. Moreau’s House of Pain” coverage, and the utter lambasting I gave that contemptible piece of cinematic slime. But now, The Asylum comes along with its rendition of “War of the Worlds.” It’s hard enough to pull off by normal standards, but well-nigh impossible with Spielberg’s version hitting theatres within mere weeks after The Asylum’s version hits video stores next week....
The story unfolds with a couple visiting a resort, where they experiment with their relationship, venturing into uncharted territories both emotionally and sexually. The film takes a dark and unexpected turn when the couple inadvertently consumes a drug, leading to a series of shocking and tension-filled events. Ainslie’s approach to the film is intriguing, as he mixes psychedelics, synthetic narcotics, and the underlying turmoil of the couple’s relationship to explore deeper themes....
Thanks to modern media gadgets, you can curate a top-notch cinematic ambiance within your own abode. Yet, it’s also easy to slip into old habits, spending excessive time setting up various devices or deliberating on the movie choice, potentially dampening the entire experience. To ensure you make the most of your movie night, we’ve compiled five tips for seamlessly preparing the ultimate cinematic soirée with friends and family. 1. Choose Your Film Wisely The success of your movie night will depend on your ability to choose the right film....
Instead of fighting gallantly along side their countrymen, they each decide at different times to shoot themselves (to wound, not kill) so they can be relieved of duty. Sadly, this tactic isn’t well received by their French commanders. They do not find anything admirable about this and they view the men as cowards. Each of them gets court-martialed and sentenced to death by way of being stranded in the barren wasteland of a battlefield between a French trench and an enemy German trench to be killed by either bullets or bombs....
Interviewed are several people who were involved in the heyday of mix tapes during the 80s and 90s. This includes many musicians, like Henry Rollins of Black Flag, Jennifer Finch of L7, Money Mark of The Beastie Boys, and the late Kim Shattuck of The Muffs. Everyone shares their memories and insights into the homemade taping practice, including DIY artwork and “crash” tracks that are supposed to stick out in the mix like a sore thumb....
As the film opens, the Human Resources manager for the company, Tracy (Alexis Knapp), is firing one of the employees, Manny (Christian Trotta), based on vile social media posts he made years ago. While he is outraged that someone from his past could eighty-six his career, he unleashes enough abusive vitriol on Tracy during his meeting to get him fired immediately. Another Day in America is indexed on hours of the day, opening at 9 AM and ending with a final vignette at 4 PM....
We follow Mikaela (Erin Kearns) as she decides to have a baby after witnessing a horrifying car accident where a pregnant woman is killed. She and her boyfriend, Eric Charles (Michael Buxton), watch a cheesy talk show called You Are The Father, which inspires them to get into a romantic mood. The couple have a special bond, except Eric can be boastful and naively enthusiastic. The only caveat is that Mikaela’s older sister, Jess (Yiana Pandelis), is concerned that child services will take away her child....
But Columbine was different. The year of planning, the double suicide, the diaries they kept all that information, but no matter how much of it you read or watched or listened to, you still really knew nothing about what would make someone do something like that. It is that inherent difference that, as cautious as I am to admit it, made me see the dramatic, cinematic and tragic potential of that event as soon as I new the basic facts....
Mehran Torgoley’s Committed takes place in the 1950s, at an understaffed and overpopulated psychiatric hospital. The paper-capped nurses, dressed in stark white, are supervised by one Joan Archer. Nurse Archer is a stern, bespectacled woman who rules with an iron hand. There’s only one person Nurse Archer kowtows to and that’s Dr. Thomas Harlin, the hospital’s director. The smiling Dr. Harlin appears to be both skilled and compassionate, but there’s an undercurrent in his personality that’s a bit alarming....
The movie is fantastically edited. Spliced home movies with CRT damage blend into a smooth stream of digital footage, with snapshots of Mironer using a still-shot camera. The documentary is entirely lit with natural light and, having been shot in the summer, is sun-drenched in both California and Moscow. Taking its name from one of Mironer’s favorite childhood memories, the picture not only presents new experiences for the family but also connects the director with memories he holds onto from childhood....
Our story centers on Ember (Leah Lewis), a young woman who lives with her immigrant parents, Bernie (Ronnie Del Carmen) and Cinder (Shila Ommi). The family runs a convenience store for the fire-people called The Fireplace, and it’s Ember’s dream to take over the business from her retiring father. When given the chance to run the store on her own, she discovers a serious leak in the basement. This is startling as there’s not supposed to be water in Firetown....
When the trailer for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre came out, I was definitely intrigued. It actually looked like it would be right up my alley. I wouldn’t go see it, though. Couldn’t do it. Then it came out on DVD, and I pondered it a bit more. I wouldn’t rent it, though. Couldn’t do it. One of my friends saw it and told me that he thought I’d really enjoy it....
Aaron Jack Rudelson’s Foodie is a short film that not only brings up the laughs but also exercises the gag reflex. While we’re not actually seeing someone spew vomit all over the place, just the idea of someone regurgitating meals, whether they are fresh and ready to eat or not, is enough to turn me off my own food. But, you know, in a good way… because I got a laugh out of it....
Robert (Goss) and Dave (Jake McDaid) are a sorry spectacle. We are introduced to them shot from their T.V. like a morose Gogglebox. They swig endless long necks but are supposedly broke. All they do is gripe about work in poorly drawn and childish dialogue. But then Robert and Dave clearly are intelligent people describing a gig economy that has them licking boots for sexless, medicated lives; such a fate bedevils our young at an epidemic level....
