Blu-ray Review: Long Overdue ‘Lethal Weapon Collection’ is Spectacular Package
29 May 2012 1:35 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – With surprisingly little fanfare, the “Lethal Weapon Collection” has finally been released stateside (after being available for some time overseas) and it’s a fantastic package with at least two films that have held up more spectacularly than you probably remember and some great special features.
Rating: 5.0/5.0
Perhaps it’s because so many films that followed it mimicked the buddy comedy formula of 1987’s “Lethal Weapon” but I didn’t remember Richard Donner’s film being nearly as good as it is now that I’ve caught up with it a quarter-century later. (Yes, I feel old too.) The movie itself has held up incredibly well and a great HD transfer certainly helps. Gibson was at the top of his movie star charisma game here and Donner perfectly paces a very smart film, the kind of adult-action that isn’t made often enough any more. You really can’t »

'I'm Too Old For This Sh**' Mash-Up, In Honor Of 'Lethal Weapon's' 25th Anniversary (Video)
6 March 2012 1:10 PM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
You're getting too old for this: 25 years ago, on March 6, 1987, "Lethal Weapon" was released. The buddy-cop thriller not only cemented Mel Gibson's status as a household name after playing good-natured loose-canon (as opposed to now) Martin Riggs, but also created a social phenomenon still relevant to this day: "I'm getting too old for this shit."
The catchphrase, said numerous times throughout the "Lethal Weapon" series by Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover), has appeared in many movies over the last 25 years, often times in reference to the put-upon police detective himself. (The recent trailer for "Men In Black 3" features Will Smith uttering a PG variation on Murtaugh's famous one-liner.)
What you might not know? That "Lethal Weapon" wasn't the first film to utilize some form of the defeated turn-of-phrase. From "North by Northwest" and "The Sting" to Murtaugh himself, enjoy a mash-up of movie characters getting too old for this.

My Favorite Movie: Sam Worthington
31 January 2012 9:00 AM, PST | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
"'Lethal Weapon 2.' People laugh at that. Look, obviously I have many movies that are near and dear to me. From 'Girl on the Bridge' to 'City of God' to 'Three Days of the Condor,' 'Cool Hand Luke,' things like that.
But I watched 'Lethal Weapon 2' and I thought, 'If they can have that much fun and get paid for it, I want that job!'
It's 'The Three Stooges' is what it is, and that's why I like it. It made me want to make movies."
Sam Worthington can currently be seen on the big screen as "Man on a Ledge" and on the small screen in "Texas Killing Fields," which hits DVD and Blu-ray today. »

Tsr Exclusive: ‘Man on a Ledge’ interview with Sam Worthington
26 January 2012 6:12 PM, PST | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
Action star Sam Worthington has been to the top of the world with his lead role in Avatar, and now he’s on the edge with his new film, Man on a Ledge. In the film featuring Jamie Bell, Elizabeth Banks, Anthony Mackie and Edward Burns, Worthington plays an ex-cop named Nick Cassidy who pretends to threaten to jump off a building in order to distract New Yorkers from another elaborate scheme.
I sat down with Worthington to talk about Man on a Ledge in one of Chicago’s tallest buildings, the Trump Tower. We discussed his haircut in the movie, being a humble Australian in Hollywood, “Avatardians,”and more.
Man on a Ledge opens nationwide on January 27.
I have seen the short documentary you directed, ‘Enzo’ (link at the bottom). Has being on many different types of film sets made you want to get back behind the camera at all? »

Sundance 2012: The Ambassador Review
20 January 2012 10:53 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Documentaries are not objective. They are always presenting a truth in a certain light and in a way we're being conned into viewing the world under the guise of objectivity. "It's out of my control!" says the documentary filmmaker. "Even I don't know what will happen next!" Mads Brügger's gonzo documentary The Ambassador is a film where everyone is conning everyone and the audience may be the biggest mark. Brügger puts himself into the position of a criminal in order to expose criminal activity, but we're left to wonder how much he's staged. For some documentaries, that may be unimportant and simply a narrative device to prove a larger point. But for The Ambassador, the film turns on whether or not we're being played. If we aren't, then the movie is a stunning expose on a vast web of corruption. But if we are being conned, then the film »

Video: Lionel Richie's Hello
18 January 2012 11:34 PM, PST | Corona's Coming Attractions | See recent Corona's Coming Attractions news »
When you're a fan of Lionel Richie love songs and Hollywood movies, what other way can you truly express your passion except through the form of a video mash-up?
This video by Vimeo user ant1mat3rie (a.k.a. Matthijs Vlot) takes the familiar notes of Richie's 1984 classic tune "Hello" but has the lyrics delivered by dialogue in some of Hollywood's best-loved movies. 43 movies, to be precise, including moments from The Matrix, Back to the Future, Schlinder's List, Goodfellas, the original Planet of the Apes, E.T.: The Extraterrestrial, Lethal Weapon 2, Being John Malkovich, Yellow Submarine and many others. And these clips have been assembled just brilliantly so that they totally carry the tune.
Take a look and marvel at this brilliance of editing, and then wonder if the person can do the same for other easy listening hits from the '80s.
