August 19th, 2008 · No Comments

Rating:
Upon exiting the theatre after watching the latest TV-turned-movie-actor vehicle, it was painfully apparent that star Rainn Wilson had, indeed, graduated from Ferrell State University with flying colors. Not only did he get a B.S. in Loud Boorish Behavior but he also minored in Underwear Streaking and Attention Whoring. And sometime in between that [...]

Barbarella (1968) - Mikey B

August 5th, 2008 · 4 Comments

I’d love to know what director, Roger Vadim, was thinking when he directed the 1968 cult-classic, Barbarella.  Were there drugs involved?  Was it made as a vehicle for his ‘then-lover’ Jane Fonda?  Were the comic books just as cheesy?  I watched Barbarella with no expectations, and lucky for me, every last one of them was [...]

Step Brothers (2008)

July 25th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Rating:
