In easily the weirdest news of the week, MGM and the Farrelly brothers are piecing together their cast for their upcoming comedy, the beleaguered and seemingly stasis, The Three Stooges. The odd part? Jim Carrey, Sean Penn and Benicio Del Toro are in talks to portray the 1930s iconic comedy troupe.
The Three Stooges was originally [...]

Jim Carrey gay movie “too risque” for American audiences
Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor’s upcoming dark comedy may have problems acquiring U.S. distribution, thanks to an explicit sex scene in the film.
In I Love You Phillip Morris, funnyman Jim Carrey’s character, in a slight departure from previous roles, has a “spectacular, ride ’em-cowboy sex scene” early in the movie. Even though the film has [...]
Review: …Around
Stories of hard luck have been around since the birth of hard luck back when Muktok smashed Spoktob on the head with a club. If done well, such stories create a sort of symbiotic relationship with the viewer. They can walk in the same footsteps, weep the same tears and maybe even serve up some [...]
Review: ‘The Haunting in Connecticut’
2 stars out of 5
My kingdom for a solid and original horror movie. As the horror genre continues its downward spiral into irrelevance, hope was held out for the macabre The Haunting in Connecticut. It looked to hit all the right notes. Creepy, thoughtful and, just maybe, its filmmakers would not debase itself purely [...]
Review: ‘Ink’
4 stars out of 5
Proving that the most endearing and authentic moments can be found in the oddest places, writer/director Jamin Winan’s Ink is a hauntingly vivid and original tale of redemption and its many forms. A potent mixture of spiritual allegories and nightmarish imagery, Ink is chilling, enlightening and at times beautiful…which is somewhat [...]
Review: ‘Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li’
0.5 star out of 5
There is really no point in sugar-coating it. Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li is truly awful. Witnessing an experiment that combines a laughable script with hilarious acting can be a deadly formula for any moviegoer. The results are what any reasonable person would expect: pure, unadulterated awfulness.
You’ve been warned.
Based [...]
Review: ‘He’s Just Not That Into You’
2.5 stars out of 5
Loosely based on the Q&A book from former Sex and the City executive story editor Greg Behrendt, we find eight characters all related through two-degrees of separation. There’s the needy and naive Gigi (Ginnifer Goodwin) who is desperate to find a boyfriend, the cool yet aloof bar manager Alex (Justin [...]
Review: ‘Friday the 13th’
2.5 stars out of 5
For a rehash of a viable and highly popular franchise with an already built-in audience, Friday the 13th succeeds hands-down. In fact, using this criteria, the movie is easily the best copy-cat horror-slasher film to date with its use of the stalwart formula from the mid to late ’70s: good [...]
