RATED AARGH! #45 – CAPTIVE AUDIENCE
That Elisha Cuthbert sure is hot. And vulnerable to kidnappings apparently.

Last night I underwent a rite of Los Angeles passage: I went to my first test screening. Many of the interweb writers out here make it a regular point to hit up these test screenings, and they have all sorts of connections and people on the inside who hook them up with date and location … Continue reading
If you didn’t read the first part of this now three-part series, it’ll look like I’m just randomly categorizing 2007 movies. If you did read the first part of this now three-part series, you’ll know I’m just randomly categorizing 2007 movies. You can go back and catch up if you want, but, because I know … Continue reading
Bob Odenkirk exudes comedic confidence, and with good reason. He spent time as a writer on Saturday Night Live before getting some screen time on the short lived Ben Stiller Show (and was the lead in what I think are the best character skits from that show – Charles Manson) then went on to become … Continue reading

I never saw Ace Ventura 2 because the first one was so awful, so inept and so unfunny that viewing it almost turned me into the kind of brain-dead motard that makes up the film’s target audience. That there are enough people who lack enough of a properly formed sense of humor to have turned … Continue reading
I sure hope Elisha Cuthbert lived in a bottle this weekend. It’s bad enough to have a movie sold on the entertainment value of your unremitting torture and eventual murder; I can’t imagine how much it would suck to be rewarded for such willful self-degradation with a paltry $1.5 million opening on over 1,000 screens … Continue reading
