2008: The Year in Movies

A beautiful montage of the movies of 2008. This is so well done, it makes even movies that I am fully aware were ridiculous (I’m looking at you, Harrison Ford) seem like uplifting masterpieces. Watch Video ›

If ‘Twilight’ Was 10 Times Shorter And 100 Times More Honest on cracked.com ›

Basically, it’s Twilight in 10 minutes (instead of 2 hours) and minus the screaming girls. With lines like: “I’m just a hollow placeholder for all of the teenage girls in the audience to project their personalities onto,” Cracked takes a crack at summarizing hit vampire movie, Twilight.

Dear Zachary

A documentary about a murder, a son, a friend and a father. After Andrew Bagby was murdered, a friend set out to make a documentary about Bagby’s life for his infant son, Zachary. But Zachary’s mother is also the prime suspect in Bagby’s murder, making this a very complicated story to tell — and the ending is just heartbreaking. Dear Zachary has been making the film festival and art house rounds, but it airs this Sunday at 9 EDT on MSNBC. Watch Video ›

JCVD

Jean Claude Van Damme plays himself in this meta movie about a washed-up action hero who’s down on his luck and trying to make a comeback. Against all odds, this actually looks pretty good. Read More ›

Good Dick

A non-standard rom-com about a video clerk and his porn-loving customer. This seems interesting and quirky without falling into the deathtrap of mumblecore, but we’ll have to see it to be sure. Read More ›

The Wackness

Watch first scene of The Wackness online — it’s in theaters today. The Wackness follows the story of a teenager who trades marijuana for therapy in the summer of 1994, just before Giuliani takes office and NYC changes foreva’. The promising cast includes Josh Peck, Ben Kingsley, Olivia Thirlby, and Mary-Kate Olsen. I can’t wait to see MK & Kingsley’s steamy make-out scene. Read More ›

“Quantum Of Solace” Trailer

Bond is back, and he’s very, very angry. Quantum of Solace (weird name, right?) starts up right where Casion Royale left off, with James Bond hunting down the man responsible for his girlfriend’s death. The movie comes out Nov. 7. (Just days after the election! What a week!) Watch Video ›
