Dennis Rodman -- The Apprentice Is a Drag!

20 May 2013 9:12 AM, PDT | TMZ | See recent TMZ news »

With a ratty blonde mohawk weave, enough drag makeup to make any 4 Am Hollywood Blvd. streetwalker jealous and some sort of loud Hawaiian print blazer, Dennis Rodman hit up "The All-Star Celebrity Apprentice" finale in New York City on Sunday ...  looking like the bastard love child of Rupaul and Tina Turner in "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome."The 52-year-old former NBA star turned clown finally managed to do something worse than vacation with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. »

10 Movies Roger Ebert Loved That Everyone Else Hated

24 April 2013 1:49 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

It’s almost three weeks now since the world’s most famous film critic, Roger Ebert, passed away following an 11-year battle with cancer, and the tributes from various critics, journalists, actors and public figures have been truly heartening and humbling for all of us to watch.

He was a figure to aspire to, a champion of the industry, and as I’ve mentioned in previous articles about his career, he was a fascinating read even when we wildly disagreed with his opinion. Roger always knew how to articulate himself perfectly and argue in a reasonable enough manner that would generally have you go, “Fair enough, Roger”, even as you pan the film yourself.

Like any critic worth their salt, Roger wasn’t afraid to go against the grain, and did so frequently, as evidenced by these 10 movies he loved that everyone else hated…

Film Review: ‘Goddess’

23 April 2013 4:25 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »

A clever concept becomes an amiable endurance test over the perky course of “Goddess,” a just-this-side-of-too-cheerful Aussie tuner. Though the pic did so-so biz during recent domestic release, the tale of a lonely yet spunky housewife and mother who makes something of herself through song is solidly in the mold of “Enchanted” and “Mamma Mia!,” and so could spark internationally with receptive auds.

In rural Tasmania, Elspeth Dickens (legit phenom Laura-Michelle Kelly) spends her days wrangling mischievous 3-year-old twins Zack and Fred (Levi and Phoenix Morrison) while awaiting the unpredictable visits from her man, James (pop heartthrob Ronan Keating). They’ve agreed she’ll put her singing career on hold until the moppets start school, at which point he’ll shelve the whale-saving crusade that keeps him at sea for long periods of time.

After one conjugal visit, James leaves Elspeth with a webcam, which she mounts in the kitchen »

With Tom Cruise's 'Oblivion' on the horizon, do post-apocalyptic movies still speak to us?

13 April 2013 8:59 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »

The landscape is vast, endless, and bare, often parched, sometimes green but always empty, with maybe a lone ribbon of highway snaking through it, a real road to nowhere. Come to think of it, the landscape isn’t completely empty. It’s dotted with outsize junk, with the stray wreckage of civilization, a rusty-metal-carcass reminder of everything that once was and can never be again. As for the people, they’re lone wanderers, the dregs of the human race, travelling by themselves or maybe in a pack of two or three (one of them is often a dog), until they »

Mad Max Trilogy and Singles Blu-ray Pre-Order and Cover Art (Updated)

27 February 2013 8:08 AM, PST | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »

Warner Home Video is finally bringing all three of George Miller's Mad Max films starring Mel Gibson to Blu-ray on June 4 in the Mad Max Trilogy box set. This is about a year earlier than expected considering the reboot film Mad Max: Fury Road starring Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron and Nicholas Hoult isn't due to arrive in cinemas until next year.

In addition, each of the three Mad Max films will be available to purchase separately. This means out of print Mad Max The Road Warrior gets rereleased, and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome makes its Blu-ray high definition debut.

Srp for Mad Max Trilogy on Blu-ray is set at $49.99, so expect the pre-order price at Amazon.com to come in around $35 or so. I will share the pre-order link along with the cover art for the trilogy set and singles as soon as they are available.

Blu Crew: Mad Max Trilogy Coming to Blu-Ray in June!

25 February 2013 11:59 PM, PST | Cinelinx | See recent Cinelinx news »

The Mad Max series, which propelled Mel Gibson into stardom, and created one of the most striking examples of a post-apocalyptic world, is finally getting the blu-ray collection it so rightfully deserves. 

I love the Mad Max franchise.  I have ever since I was young (and probably shouldn't have been watching them).  It remains one of the more interesting apocalypse settings I've seen in a film, and it's social commentary remains as powerful today as it was back then.  So I was pretty excited when the press release announcing the trilogy coming to blu-ray in a collection (on June 4th) came across my inbox.  Here's the press release for the details:

Mad Max, the sci-fi franchise that introduced Mel Gibson to the world, will come together for the first time as a Blu-ray collection when Warner Bros. Home Entertainment (Wbhe) debuts the Mad Max Trilogy on June 4th.

The Mad Max Trilogy Blu-ray Collection Arrives June 4th

Mad Max, the sci-fi franchise that introduced Mel Gibson to the world, will come together for the first time as a Blu-ray collection when Warner Bros. Home Entertainment (Wbhe) debuts The Mad Max Trilogy on June 4th.

The three films - Mad Max (1979), Mad Max Road Warrior (1982) and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985) - are all set in the near-future in Australia. From the very first film, Oscar winner George Miller (Happy Feet, 2006) proved a master at creating the gritty, bleak dystopian world and staging the incredible car stunts and crashes in the era when stuntmen, not computers, achieved the effects. All three movies starred Mel Gibson, virtually unknown until after the second film, as Max Rockatansky, a highway cop traveling through the Outback in a society descending into chaos. The films started Gibson on his road to international superstardom, led to his signature Lethal Weapon series, and later two Academy »

American Idol Vegas Round (Part 1) Recap: Sudden Death and the Maidens [Updated]

20 February 2013 7:03 PM, PST | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »

A few of the details might’ve varied, but tonight’s installment of American Idol was, at its coal-black, mercenary heart, a less dusty reenactment of Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome.

Oh, sure, Ryan Seacrest went with his standard, “This…is American Idol!” intro (as opposed to the more ominous “Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, dyin’ time’s here“). And no, there weren’t any feral, bloodthirsty ragamuffins in the front row (just some smiling or occasional booing family members of the contestants). But there was indeed a chiseled Australian dude (sporting better highlights, a more exacting ear, and a »

Top 50 Most Anticipated Movies of 2013: Part One - #41-50

7 January 2013 9:08 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

Looking forward to a new year of movies and attempting to come up with a list of films I'm most anticipating is never a simple proposition. In compiling this year's list of fifty there were 230 film titles I looked at, some a little more seriously than others, but nonetheless, it wasn't a small list of films. As a result, not everything could make the list. Note: I have included a navigation to browse all five lists directly below as well as at the end of this post for easy navigation. Most Anticipated 2013 Navigation #1-10 | #11-20 | #21-30 | #31-40 | #41-50 Some of the films just missing the top fifty include Zal Batmanglij's The East, Spike Jonze's Her starring Joaquin Phoenix, the horror film You're Next, which first premiered in 2011 and is finally being released this year, and Devil's Knot as the story of the West Memphis Three continues, only this »
