Plot via imdb: Does love exist? This charming film’s goal is to find out. “Chuck” professes to not believe [...]

DO NOT SEE OBSERVE AND REPORT

April 10th, 2009 · No Comments · Movies

Don’t avoid it because every review says it stinks. Don’t avoid it because Seth Rogen is a mysoginsitic slob. Avoid it because of the rape scene.
In the last 20 seconds or so of the trailer you can see at least part of the scene.  Ny Mag’s Vulture blog explains:
The movie doesn’t mitigate that sex scene at all. [...]

C ME DANCE TRAILER = C ME LAUGH

March 31st, 2009 · 1 Comment · Movies, Shit That Makes Me Laugh

Ok. I thought this was fake when I first saw it on VideoGum because it’s got every over-used movie meme possible. In the course of this trailer of C Me Dance, whose amazing tagline is “A dance that shines through the darkness,” there is the stuggle to be the best at one’s chosen craft, chronic illness, fear, [...]

TO GET YOU INSPIRED: SAY ANYTHING BOOMBOX SCENE

February 8th, 2009 · 52 Comments · Movies

Maybe it’s because I am truly a child of the eighties, but this sticks out in my head as one of the most memorable romantic scenes ever. How can you not want genial slacker Lloyd Dobler and overachiever Diane Court to fall in love? Such a great flick. Granted if someone stood outside my apartment [...]
