Review: Ghost Town

Posted by Diana Kim | Saturday, September 20, 2008 @ 6:46am

I have a confession to make: I wasn’t interested in seeing this movie when I first saw the trailer for it. I mean, I do like the actors, but not enough to be drawn to this film. But I have to say: I’m glad I went.

For those who don’t know, Ghost Town is about a guy, Bertram Pincus (Ricky Gervais), who dies for less than seven minutes and comes back to life, but can now see ghosts. Catch is, he hates people, so he’s a jerk to them, and so they hate him back, except for the dead. They want him to finish their unfinished business, especially Frank (Greg Kinnear). He wants Pincus to break up his widow, Gwen (Téa Leoni) and her fiancé.

The 10 greatest moustaches in film and television history

Posted by Paul Little | Tuesday, August 12, 2008 @ 9:24am

Moustaches: the symbol of manliness. While in recent years, it appears moustaches have tragically gone "out of style", there should be little doubt that in their heydey, they were the ultimate fashion statement for men. No matter what the style -- the casual 'stache of the 70s that showed you didn't give a damn, the thick moustache of the 80s that told everyone you could kick their ass, the pencil-thin moustache that screams out evil villain (or John Waters), or the thick and curly moustaches of turn of the century criminals and crazy prospectors -- a moustache is the furry window into a man's soul.

So in conjunction with the August 16th AMC Basic Cable Premiere of the 2004 action comedy Starsky & Hutch (based on the 70s TV show of the same name, and featuring plenty of killer 'staches throughout), ShowbizMonkeys.com is taking a look at some of the best moustaches of film and television. (Those with beards need not apply -- you're too afraid to let your moustache speak for itself!)

DVD Review: Superhero Movie

Posted by Rory Anderson | Sunday, August 3, 2008 @ 5:52am

What can I say except that a comedy spoof is designed to poke fun at what’s popular (i.e. superheroes) and put in its own funny little twists -- and believe me, Superhero Movie movie doesn’t let you down. See, I don’t have the comic book background like some people (not naming names), but I get the gist of what should go down (superhero battles villain and eventually succeeds), and I believe that even the most experienced comic book fan won’t be disappointed with what this movie has to offer.

Review: The Dark Knight

Posted by Big Marv from Hot 103 | Thursday, July 17, 2008 @ 10:24pm

The Basic:

From the time Batman Begins ends to where The Dark Knight starts, you see Gotham on its way out of the gutter. Batman’s presence has made police more confident and criminals more cowardly. Gotham has a new beacon of hope in District Attorney, Harvey Dent. Though things are looking up, you need a spark to start a fire. Enter: The Joker.

Review: Wanted

Posted by Cameron McLeod | Thursday, June 26, 2008 @ 2:21pm

Curving bullets you say...?

The first time I saw a preview for this movie, I was aghast at how ridiculous the idea of curving a bullet was. I mean come on.... The rest of the trailer showed a Dodge Viper fish-tailing in a parking lot at just the right speed that it scooped someone up and into the passenger seat oh-so-perfectly, and a few other tidbits of lesser note.

DVD Review: The Hammer

Posted by Cameron McLeod | Wednesday, June 25, 2008 @ 3:03pm

IMDB Tagline: Some Guys Don't Know Their Destiny Till It Hits Them In The Face.

Film review: You know what? I liked this movie a lot more than I thought I would. After hearing nothing about it until it was handed to me at dinner, I was a little worried that I’d have to sit through 88 minutes of awful. As it turns out, I was quite incorrect. Adam Carolla proves that he has great comic timing (in a film), and the supporting cast does a great job too.

Review: The Incredible Hulk

Posted by Big Marv from Hot 103 | Friday, June 13, 2008 @ 1:24am

The Basic:

June 20, 2003. That was the release date of Ang Lee's The Hulk. Now, I didn't google release dates to find this out. I know this because at the time I was BEYOND excited. I counted down months, weeks, days until June 20, 2003. See, I'm a little biased. I'm a DIE HARD Hulk fan. I know every character, I have just about every issue and I could give you back stories on just about everything Hulk related. So back in June of '03...I was pretty stoked! Good cast, FANTASTIC director...but...wow. What a stinker. It seems I wasn't the only one that felt that way. Why else would Marvel say...MULLIGAN! DO OVER! RE-DO!...just 5 years later. The good thing is, now they know what NOT to do. The Incredible Hulk has an exciting new director in Louis Leterrier (Transporter 2) and a brand, spanking new cast! Edward Norton as Bruce Banner, Liv Tyler as Betty Ross, William Hurt as Gen. Thunderbolt Ross, Lou Ferrigno as the voice of the Hulk and Tim Roth as Emil Blonski who becomes "Abomination" (Who's that? Well, Batman has Joker, and Hulk has Abomination. Get it? Good!). We also get a glimpse of the future with small parts for Doc Samson and The Leader (2 very important characters to the Hulk mythos). Ok, now that's outta the way, on to The Breakdown!
