A few weeks ago, Variety reported that Paramount’s Republic Pictures had acquired the distribution rights to the serial killer horror thriller Vindicta and were planning to release the film sometime in October. Now a trailer for the film has arrived online (you can watch it in the embed above), and along with the trailer comes details on Paramount Global Content Distribution’s release plans: Vindicta will be reaching select theatres and will be available to buy on digital as of October 6th.
Starring Elena Kampouris of the most recent Children of the Corn movie, Sean Astin (The Goonies), and Jeremy Piven (Judgment Night), Vindicta has the following synopsis: When a city is terrorized by a sadistic serial killer, a seasoned detective and a newly recruited paramedic are forced into a deadly game of vengeance, only to discover the key to stopping the bloodshed lies in unlocking the truth of their own haunted pasts.

Lisa Hanawalt likes butts, and lying about it would never even cross her mind. The production designer on “BoJack Horseman” and creator of the new Netflix original series “Tuca & Bertie” displays the derrière every chance she gets. There are paintings, animated gifs, other author’s book covers, drawings within her own books, and she even asks listeners of her podcast, “Baby Geniuses” (co-hosted by screenwriter Emily Heller), to send in pictures of their butts — you know, so long as they’re comfortable with it.
“I’m literally drawing a butt right now as we talk on the phone,” Hanawalt said during an interview with IndieWire.
So it should come as no surprise that her first television series opens with a toucan in green short-shorts flipping down into frame butt-first, before reshaping a floating purple bubble into a big ol’ booty — which she promptly and joyfully slaps.

As part of last year’s Xoxo Festival, Lisa Hanawalt of “BoJack Horseman” gave a moving presentation on her creative process and the years of work leading up her to breakthrough on the animated Netflix comedy. “I’m a bad artist. I’m lazy and untalented and bad” the production designer says as a self-deprecating introduction, though it’s quickly made clear that the emotions behind the statement are genuine: Hanawalt details the negative feelings that sometimes inspire her work, saying that “feeling like shit” is part of her process.

She then goes on to show the slogans for Subway (“food option”), Chevrolet (“I’m a big boy”) and McDonald’s (“I love something, is it this?”) that she would tweet at said corporations, partially as an exercise and partially to be a troll.

For those who have not seen The quintessential samurai flick Shogun Assassin, just stop reading now and go watch it. That said, Lone Wolf and Cub was originally a manga about a samurai pushing his son around in a carriage while seeking revenge. It has two things I love - a high body count and spraying blood. It was made into 6 different films in the 1970s and in 1980 the first two of these was re-cut and dubbed in English.. and they made Shogun Assassin for the American market. Wu-Tang member Gza's first album, Liquid Swords, uses cuts from this film.

Happy 77th birthday to one of our favorite actors, Christopher Lloyd!
The actor, who's played some of filmdom's most beloved characters, including Doc Brown in "Back to the Future," Professor Plum in "Clue," and Uncle Fester in the "Addams Family" films, was born on October 22, 1938 in Stamford, Conn.
Partly because of his height, and partly because of his manic intensity and commitment to even the wildest characters, he's portrayed a series of eccentrics, from mad scientists to aliens; had an impressive, award-winning theater career; and will always be remembered as Reverend Jim on "Taxi."
In honor of his 77th birthday, we've come up with 75 reasons why he's so awesome.
1. He's played a Klingon, a cartoon, the Wizard of Oz, an angel, a leper, and a geriatric vampire.
2. He stands an impressive 6'1."
3. Because he's so tall, he had to hunch over to appear in the same frame with "Back to the Future...

For those excited for a robust, live-action version of Ghost in the Shell, I’ve got some bad news for you. The announcement of Scarlett Johannson signing on to star is a sign that this thing is a bit more real than it was before, but it’s destined to look a lot more like Aeon Flux than Blade Runner, and there’s a simple reason for that. Saying, “I want to make a live-action version of Ghost in the Shell” is a lot like saying, “I want to make The Matrix.” It requires an unbelievable cocktail of skill, sci-fi understanding, nuance, innovation and luck. The filmmakers involved would need to be at the top of their game as well as be dedicated to focusing on existential issues even after the bullet casings hit the floor. Instead, we’re getting Avi Arad and Steven Paul. Arad has been involved in the superhero resurgence since EPing Blade in...

Every normal person loves a good movie, but if there’s one thing movie critics aren’t, it’s normal people. Sure, you can write a perfectly decent review extolling the virtues of the latest hit film, but that gets old after a while. Good is boring. It’s much more fun writing about bad movies. Beneath the surface of every respectable journalist who writes movie reviews lies a sadistic monster, gleefully waiting for a horrible film to come out so that they can use the power of their words against it. These are the people who root for Anton Ego, the caustic food critic, when watching Ratatouille.
While this sort of cut throat film criticism is entertaining, it starts to feel a little cruel, in a making-fun-of-the-kid-with-crutches way, when the movie they’re deriding is legitimately awful. Or at least it would, if it wasn’t absolutely hilarious.

Has it actually been ten years already since we have been engaged in the realm of films dating back to 2004? A decade is certainly a long period of time to build our appreciation for cinema up until this critical point in 2014. In looking back at 2004, one can recall fondly some of the more desirable releases to come out at that time. For instance, the superb Million Dollar Baby was the Academy Award-winning film for 2004. Even the comedies that were released that year gave movie audiences cause to rejoice with such ditties as the sleeper indie hit Napoleon Dynamite and well as mainstream laughers in Mean Girls and Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgandy.
Unfortunately for every gem there is a dud and then some. And 2004 had its share to say the least. So how about getting nostalgic and recalling some of the notable misses that were heaped on misled moviegoers...

As if the cast of John Hillcoat's "Triple Nine" wasn't awesome enough with Casey Affleck, Woody Harrelson, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Winslet, Aaron Paul, Michael Pena, Teresa Palmer and Gal Gadot already on board, it just got even better. Anthony Mackie, next seen in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" (review here), has joined the Matt Cook penned thriller about a group of crooked L.A. police officers who realize they must shoot one of their own in order to get away with planning a major heist. They choose as their victim a rookie and honorable young officer, but what they don't know is that another cop has infiltrated the gang and is working on a setup. Production starts this summer and we're just gonna go ahead and put this on our Most Anticipated 2015 list.

It's come to this. The two most public figures of hedonistic excess and hurricane-level character destruction, meeting at last to decide who will have the better future film career based solely on their past shenanigans.
They appear together in the fifth installment of the "Scary Movie" franchise, debuting this Friday, and by all accounts, their time on set together was nothing but peaceful. But that ends today, folks. It ends now.
Sheen versus Lohan. Get your popcorn/breathalyzers ready.
Best Past Performance
Charlie Sheen: "Wall Street" (1987)
Lindsay Lohan: "Mean Girls" (2004)
Verdict: "Mean Girls" represents the pinnacle of Lindsay Lohan hotness. She was staggeringly pretty in "Mean Girls," to the point where, sure, we noticed Amanda Seyfried, Rachel McAdams and Lacey Chabert next to her at the lunch table but remained completely disinterested in them, like Aaron Samuels.

Last weekend the wall-eyed animated nightmare The Croods was an unexpected slam-dunk at the box office. Like many of you, we were sent into fits of existential panic over the lumpy, prehistoric countenances of the film's jug-faced-yet-allegedly-lovable lead characters, and probably won't be checking out the film anytime soon. After all, we already have plenty of other kid-targeted flicks to pepper our dreams with flashes of unintended terror. Here are a few of the most scarring examples.
(Note - we're focusing here on kids' movies that are way creepier than they probably intended to be, so classic kid-scarring genre flicks like The Dark Crystal, Something Wicked This Way Comes, Watcher in the Woods, etc. are off the table.)
The Peanut Butter Solution
I remember seeing this bizarre Canadian family film in the theatre when it came out in 1985, and I still have an irrational fear of homeless ghosts, paintbrushes made of human hair,...

Today's batch of new MPAA ratings brings a little bit of everything beginning with the awful Aftershock, which I saw, reviewed and hated at the Toronto Film Festival last year. That is followed by my most anticipated film of the year, Before Midnight, which I am actually working with Sony Classics right now to bring you a rather cool feature this May. Also included is the sci-fi feature Europa Report starring Sharlto Copley, Scary Movie 5 and two Sundance acquisitions in The Way, Way Back and Alex Gibney's documentary We Steal Secrets: The Story of Wikileaks. Like I said, a little bit of everything. Below is the complete batch of latest MPAA ratings from Bulletin #2265. Aftershock Rated R For strong bloody violence including rape, language, drug content and some nudity. Release Date: Tba 2013 Baby Geniuses: Treasures Of Egypt Rated G Before Midnight Rated R For sexual content/nudity and language.

Not exactly a major MPAA update today, but anytime you learn there will be a Baby Geniuses and the Mystery of the Crown Jewels movie you have to be excited right? On top of that there will be a Cinderella 3D and a Legend of Kung Fu Rabbit, which I'm sure didn't get any of its ideas from Kung Fu Panda. As for titles you'll recognize, some of you may know of the Viggo Mortensen starrer Everybody Has a Plan and then there's this weekend's limited release documentary Hating Breitbart, but most will be familiar with Ang Lee's Life Of Pi and the upcoming, R-rated Jason Statham actioner Parker. You can click on any of the titles mentioned above for more information, otherwise, here are the latest MPAA ratings from Bulletin #2242. Adventures In Zambezia Rated G Baby Geniuses and the Mystery of the Crown Jewels Rated G Christmas Oranges Rated PG For thematic elements.

Anybody can make a movies nowadays, and that’s ultimately a good thing: without that kind of thinking we might not have low-budget classics like Reservoir Dogs or Monsters. But there’s a flipside to be considered. Because sometimes, a person who should be doing anything else but writing or directing a motion picture manages to get themselves onto a set: here, they adopt a baseball cap and a smug sense of superiority, and they start telling the other people with cameras and boom mics what to do. This is made a zillion times worse if twenty or thirty of these guys – in some unexplainable twist of fate – are miraculously brought together on a single project.
That’s the only way any of the films on the following list can be justified: they were made by large teams of people who had abandoned all sanity. Large teams of people who...

Steven Paul (Baby Geniuses, Ghost Rider) is going to produce “Dracula: The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse,” with Pearry Reginal Teo (Dead Inside) on hand to direct what he hopes to be a “Twilight-like” franchise. Steven Paul had this to say about the movie, according to Shock Till You Drop: “It’s the first installment in a franchise about a young, romantic Prince of Darkness, his Army of the Undead and a series of events that shake Transylvania to its core.” A movie about Dracula and an army of undead and the four horsemen of the apocalypse sounds awesome. But making it a Twilight like franchise? And produced by the guy who did Baby Geniuses? I’m very skeptical, and that’s me being nice.

Between showing off C. Thomas Howell's boy and his giant dog movie and dragging Jon Voight into a new trilogy of Baby Geniuses movies at Cannes, production company Crystal Sky announced that they were planning to prequelize 2010's live-action Tekken feature. Crystal Sky is hoping for a domestic theatrical release for the movie when it's completed.
The prequel, whose current title is Tekken: Rise of the Tournament, will be directed by prolific Thai director Prachya Pinkaew (Ong Bak). In lieu of high-profile talent, Pinkaew plans to bring on board actors and actresses who look like their in-game counterparts. No further details are available about the story as of this writing.
The first film directed by Dwight H. Little (Rapid Fire, Marked For Death) starred Jon Foo as Jin Kazama and was set in the year 2039 where the evil Mishima Corporation would throw the Iron Fist tournament to find the world's greatest fighter.

Kathleen Turner is, more or less, exactly how you'd expect her. You can hear her long before and after you're in the same room, and she certainly doesn't suffer fools. Or anybody else, for that matter. We spoke (for much less than our alloted time slot) with the iconic star of "Body Heat," "Serial Mom" and "Baby Geniuses" about her role in "The Perfect Family," an ultra low-budget indie about a Catholic woman who is shocked to discover that her family falls short of her ideals. How did you come into the project? The script was sent to my agency by, well, you know, an established person. And I have a reputation for being very open to material, which I try to do, if it comes through the right channels, and I say that so I won't be flattered with unqualified scripts. I was intrigued. I was very intrigued. Eileen is a good woman,...

After hitting big with Rise of the Planet of the Apes last year, Chernin Entertainment are dramatically shifting gears for their upcoming project, with Variety reporting the production studio has hired commercial and short director Jeff Tomsic to helm a currently-untitled baby adventure movie.
Scripted by MadTV and Parks & Rec writer Katie Dippold, the project follows “babies who try to break out of a daycare center.” This synopsis gives me horrid flashbacks to 1999 and Baby Geniuses, which marks the first time I’ve thought of that movie since I was nine years-old and uneducated about anything film-related. However, Dippold does have a quality comedic background with her writing and producing, so I’m praying that this project doesn’t go down the Geniuses route.
With his only previous work being shorts and commercials, this will be Tomsic‘s feature length debut. Some of those projects include Underpassed, I’m Having...

Ok. It's the end. And boy did that engine lose steam. Am I right?
I appreciate that this episode got right down to business. No preamble. Here we go.
Taylor, Taylor, Taylor. Oh god. I just don't know what to say. First, she wants us all to think that Russell may have been murdered. I get that. Accepting someone close to you can't be easy. But then the recording devices (sidebar: I like how Taylor makes herself seem all business-womany by saying Russell recorded her in the office because knew she's be in there all day), the lie detector tests and the most bizarre story ever. So here's what I got from it: Russell's hiding in the bushes after pretending to leave because Taylor wants to talk girlie stuff with her girlfriend and her fiancé. Hiding in the bushes, people. He hears Taylor's friends say they'll help her get away...

TBS is in the midst of its annual 24-hour marathon of "A Christmas Story," the 1983 movie about a young boy's (Peter Billingsley) quest for a Bb gun that has become as much a part of the season as "It's a Wonderful Life."
But did you know that Jack Nicholson was considered for the role of Ralphie's father? So says TBS, which says Nicholson was offered the role and he was interested. The movie's producers became concerned about what they might have to pay Nicholson, however, and went with Darren McGavin instead.
Here are some other little- to well-known facts about "A Christmas Story."
- Author Jean Shepherd, who narrates the movie and whose book "In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash" is the basis for the film, also has a cameo. He's the annoyed man in the department store who tells Ralphie and Randy the line to see Santa starts back there.

Most people know film know the name Wes Anderson. He's a brilliant director who has influenced scores of films since he Bottle Rocket. And yet, the average box-office take of his six films is $21 million. Kevin Smith is an even more popular director. The average box-office of his nine films is $20 million. Martin Scorsese's average is $39 million. Woody Allen's average is $13 million. Danny Boyle's is $30 million. The Coen Brothers average around $45 million. David Lynch: $12.3 million. David Mamet: $6 million.
And yet, if you are a film fan, those are all names that you know. You probably know them well. You've probably seen some or most of their films. And yet, you probably have no idea who Steve Carr is. In the last decade, Carr has made 6 films. The box-office average of those six films is $80 million, better than the average of either Tony or Ridley Scott.

Put on your glasses, nerd, because episode 49 of Junk Food Dinner is here!
This week in honor of National Reading Month, we're kicking off a three-episode series of shows dedicated to three of our favorite authors. Starting things off, we'll be taking a look at three films based on the work of Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
Up first, a man becomes "unstuck in time" and simultaneously experiences his past, present and future in the surreal Slaughterhouse-Five from 1972 directed by George Roy Hill and starring Michael Sacks.
Then, Jerry Lewis and Madeline Kahn are malformed alien twins sent to Earth to solve its problems in the goofy 1982 comedy Slapstick (of Another Kind)(from the brilliant mind who brought you Baby Geniuses).
And finally, Bruce Willis, Nick Nolte and Albert Finney lead an all-star cast in a quirky look at Midwestern life in 1999's Breakfast of Champions.

The Razzies are preparing to announce their "winners" (or is it losers?) of the year when it comes to Worst Movies of the Year and they have a special category for Worst Movies of the Decade. I'm reminded of the ickiest of the icks when it comes to film's marketed to kids (children through teens). These are the three worst movies marketed to kids of the decade.
Larry The Cable Guy: Health Inspector
I'm sure you're familiar with the Blue Collar comedian for his girth and low-brow humor. So it should of been no surprise when he finally got his own movie and yeah, it was revolting. The story revolved around Larry's character being a city health inspector trying to find the cause of a string of nasty outbreaks in fancy restaurants. The first five minutes can sum up what you're in for: peeing in the shower,...

Crystal Sky Group has closed a deal with Anchor Bay Films to jointly produce, finance and acquire up to 15 films annually with budgets from $2 million to $30 million for at least two years.
Owner and CEO Steven Paul said Crystal Sky has created a subsidiary, Crystal Edge, to produce the movies and provide finishing funds for other movies.
Jon Voight will star in one of the first Crystal Edge movies, Beyond, a supernatural thriller being directed in Alaska by director Joseph Rusnak (The 13th Floor) on a $10 million budget.
Jason Price, a former head of legal at Crystal Sky who left to produce movies, has returned as Crystal Edge's head of production and acquisitions. A movie Price produced, American Virgin, starring Rob Schneider, will premiere on Comedy Central this year.

Five movies of modest proportion enter the nationwide fray this weekend. Vampires Suck bites into approximately 3,150 screens at 2,978 locations. Nanny McPhee Returns pops onto 2,784 locations (screen count is unclear at this time). Piranha 3D leaps onto around 2,600 screens at 2,470 locations. The Switch bastes 2,012 single-screen locations. Lottery Ticket draws close to 2,250 screens at 1,973 locations. Last weekend's champ, The Expendables, has a shot at remaining on top: if it continues to follow Inglourious Basterds' pattern, it would make nearly $17 million this weekend. After getting thwacked two years ago by the commercial rejection of Disaster Movie, purveyors of random movie and pop culture imitations, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, return with Vampires Suck, which was hastily put together to capitalize on the current Twilight and vampire craze. Vampires Suck debuted on Wednesday and grossed $6.4 million in two days, which was more than the $5.8 million that Disaster Movie did in its entire first...

This weekend, three new nationwide releases enter the fray, each one catering to a different crowd. Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore strikes 3,705 locations, Dinner for Schmucks hits 2,911 locations, and Charlie St. Cloud docks at 2,720 locations. The top movie of the past two weeks, Inception, continues at 3,545 locations, down 247 from last week, but still has enough momentum to deliver a strong third weekend gross, likely extending its reign. The new Cats & Dogs arrives more than nine years after the first movie, which had a sizable audience back in the day but was far from a blockbuster. It had a $35.8 million five-day Independence Day opening, including $21.7 million for its first weekend, and it ultimately grossed $93.4 million (or the equivalent of around $130 million adjusted for ticket price inflation). There is no indication that Cats & Dogs' esteem has grown over time, and the sequel appears to be one that audiences did not ask for.

It’s been a while since chatty infants have been considered prime fodder for films – you probably have to go back to the Look Who’s Talking/Baby Geniuses era to find anything like what Fox is apparently planning: adapting a series of talking toddler adverts into a comedy.UK readers may not be all that familiar with them – you can find one example here – unless you’re an Americanophile or enjoy watching Superbowl ads. The E*Trade spots feature babies with CG mouths and dialogue about investments added in. And that’s it. Yup, sounds like the ingredients for a massive motion picture to us!Still, according to Pajiba, Fox is ploughing ahead, hiring Parks And Recreation writer Katie Dippold to concoct a mission movie based on the concept.Since it’s not quite April Fool’s Day, we’ll go ahead and believe the rumour for now.

I have a mission for you readers out there. Head on over to IMDb and check out the Bottom 100 films list. Now do me a favor and check out the entries at #3 and #75. There you will find the prestigious Baby Geniuses film. With an aggregate score of 1% on Rotten Tomatoes, the films are largely considered two of the worst films to come out in the last 20 years (Only Dwayne E. Leslie of Boxoffice Magazine gave either film a positive review). Now quickly set your brain back to 2007. A new show premiered on ABC called Cavemen, a sitcom based around three troglodytes in modern America. The show was notorious for having been based on a series of truly awful commercials made by the car insurance company Geico and lasted a grand total of five episodes. Now combine these ideas into one horrible premise and you get 20th Century Fox's newest idea.

Well... Looks like 20th Century Fox is the captain of the failboat today. According to Pajiba, they think that a movie about the E*Trade babies is a good idea. Yes, you heard me correctly. A movie about the E*Trade babies. Now, while I know your head must be spinning a million miles an hour from the catastrophe that is this idea, I know you have questions. One of them being, "Doesn't this movie already exist?" Sort of. It's called Baby Geniuses. However, those were super smart...

Apparently Hollywood didn't learn that taking funny TV commercial gimmicks and trying to turn them into something bigger (like an actual TV show) really doesn't work. Part of this has to do with the fact that it's a blatant gimmick constructed solely to grab your attention for roughly 30-or-so seconds -- but whatever, you'd rather ignore original ideas and tackle the stuff that really entertains the family during Dancing with the Stars commercial breaks. I get it. Yes, if Pajiba's sources are correct, a movie based on those E*Trade talking baby commercials is actually being planned.
Not exactly a huge stretch, since there was a time when the Look Who's Talking movies were a big hit, and those Baby Geniuses movies did decent business -- and even without the E*Trade commercials, cute, quirky babies were beginning to infiltrate pop culture in some pretty strange ways (Babies, anyone), so...

Watching G-Force all the way through might just be the hardest thing you’ll ever do in your life. Hollywood pumps out lots of waste through the bilge pump it calls cinemas, but sometimes something gets stuck in the pipes. It lingers and festers into something more rank and disgusting than anything you could have imagined. If I had to guess, G-Force is the unholy sewage alliance of some Stuart Little spin-off and the nth Baby Geniuses sequel that got torpedoed straight to DVD. Both of them got lodged in septic system and over time molded together into this: talking guinea pigs acting as spies with dim-witted handlers. You put up with a lot of dreck for your kids, but G-Force lacks any entertainment value for adults whatsoever. There are lots of ways to entertain the children, don’t let this be one of them.

One of the great features over at the Internet Movie Database is the Bottom 100. Based on ratings viewers of the site give to various films, the worst of the worst films get put on this list. Some of them are on and off in a matter of days. Others stick around for the long haul, showing just how much suckage they truly emit.
It’s time to look at these movies and determine where they stand. Do they deserve to be on the Bottom 100 list? Are they not as bad as everyone says? Will they be off the list any time soon?
Here’s the breakdown for this week’s film:

Robert here with a quick news bit courtesy of the A.V. Club. Turns out the old-school video game Castlevania will be getting the feature film treatment. James Wan (who directed Saw) is almost on-board. And Steven Paul, who produced Baby Geniuses and Bratz is in charge of production.
It appears that the video-game-adaptation streak of "0" for howevermany will stand. Hooray! But enough depressing news. Let's pretend that it's actually possible to make a good video game adaptation. Which game do you fantasize about seeing on the big screen as a quality movie? Do you want to see Keira Knightley as Zelda? Are you dying to see Kate Beckinsale play Samus? Have you been holding out hope for Danny DeVito as Pac-Man? What details have you imagined? You know you have.

As Alexandre Aja gears up for his remake Piranha 3-D , which is filming this summer in scorching hot Lake Havasu, Arizona, the cast is starting to take shape. We already know that Elisabeth Shue will play a sheriff whose small town is overrun by the infestation of piranha following an underwater tremor, but a few other names have popped up in the last few days that are really noteworthy. Also, Jerry O'Connell.
Bloody-Disgusting reports that the great Christopher Lloyd will play Goodman, an expert on the flesh- eating fish. He's a welcome addition to almost anything. Ok, maybe not Baby Geniuses, but where we're going, we don't need Baby Geniuses. Still, when cast properly, the expert role in horror or sci-fi movies can be a keeper regardless of what surrounds it.

Will Pentacostal hair be enough to save Adam Lambert? (All photos: Getty)
Okay, as someone who can't stand contemporary country, I went into last night's Grand Ole Opry episode of American Idol with the hopes that the contestants would be asked to sing Real country songs, from the good old days of Hee Haw and Willie Nelson and Coal Miner's Daughter.
What I got was a handful of forgettable songs I've never heard before performed by forgettable people I hope to never hear again, and a few mangled classics.
But before we even get to the Underwoods, the Randy Travis Effect, and the "Ring of Fire" that Adam Lambert gave us (and from which many of us are still suffering today), can we just talk for a second about these official backstage pics of our favorite "theatrical" contestant from last night's show?
Which of course left me no choice but to do this:
So anyway,...

You better watch out You better not cry You better have clout I'm telling you why Two Thumbs Down are comin' to town He's making a list,
Checking it twice;
Gonna find out whose
movie was scheiss.
Sandy Claws is comin' to town.
He sees you when you're (bleeping),
He knows when you're a fake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for cinema's sake!
With little but scorn
and pounding of drums,
Rooty toot hoots
and rummy tum thumbs
Sandy Jaws is comin' to town
As I dream back over many happy years of movie going, some of my favorite lines from old reviews dance in my head like visions of sugarplums. Good movies, bad movies, doesn't matter, just so the line dances. I thought I'd share them in the holiday spirit. Curiously, most of the lines come from movies so bad I didn't want a refund,...

Director Bob Clark, who helmed the modern holiday classic A Christmas Story and was the writer-director-producer of the Porky's films, died in a car crash with his son on the Pacific Coast Highway early Wednesday morning; he was 67. According to police reports, Clark's car was hit head-on around 2:30am by an SUV that swerved into Clark's southbound lane; Clark and his 22 year-old son, Ariel, were pronounced dead at the scene. The SUV driver, who was driving without a license, was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and is to be booked for gross vehicular manslaughter. The director of the 1974 cult horror film Black Christmas as well as the 1980 Jack Lemmon drama Tribute (which nabbed Lemmon a Best Actor Oscar nomination), Clark scored a major box office success in the early '80s with the teen sex comedy Porky's, a surprise hit that he wrote, directed and produced which became the highest-grossing film of 1982 and one of the highest-grossing films ever in Canada. Clark went on to helm the sequel, Porky's II: The Next Day, a year later, but it was another 1983 film that would become his most memorable. Based on humorist Jean Shepherd's short story collection In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash, A Christmas Story was the nostalgic and humorous tale of a young boy named Ralphie (Peter Billingsley) growing up in the 1940s who yearned for the ultimate Christmas gift, a Red Ryder BB gun. Also starring Darren McGavin and Melinda Dillon, the comedy (which Clark directed, co-wrote and produced) was a modest success in its initial box office run but gained a strong and steady following through the next two decades, becoming a TV staple during the holiday season and a consistent seller on DVD. Clark's other films included the Dolly Parton-Sylvester Stallone comedy Rhinestone, Turk 182!, From the Hip, and the two Baby Geniuses movies. Recently, there had been talk of Howard Stern producing a remake of Porky's, and Clark had begun development on a remake of one of his first films, the horror movie Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things. --Mark Englehart, IMDb staff...
