Just to make this more interesting, read the following paragraph in your head in the voice of the Movie Trailer Guy: In 1977, we got The Kentucky Fried Movie, a movie consisting entirely of segments that were takeoffs from everything to commercials to every… Continue reading
I’ve had my eye on Mary Elizabeth Winstead ever since I first saw her in Sky High. And by “had my eye on,” I mean that I’ve been wishing for a disastrous career that would inevitably lead her to increasingly risqué films and scantily-clad roles just to make a… Continue reading
You could be forgiven for having forgotten about Universal’s Middle East action-thriller The Kingdom. After a small trailer that created little to no buzz, Universal moved the release date from April 20th all the way back to September 28th, and nary a peep… Continue reading
Given the abyss the music industry finds itself in these days and given the particularly dismal non-career she has in said industry, it’s really no surprise that Jessica Simpson is looking toward movies as her bread and butter. While lacking any demonstrable… Continue reading
