| What Movie Has the Best End Credits? Posted: 16 Jun 2014 08:00 PM PDT It sounds like snarky criticism to say that the best thing about 22 Jump Street is the end. But everyone is talking about the sequel's credits, whether they think the movie that comes before it is also worthwhile or not. They are a perfect finishing touch to an already meta piece of comedic entertainment and probably the most memorable conclusion of its kind since the blooper reel at the back of The Cannonball Run. Maybe that's not as fondly recalled these days as it was throughout the '80s and up until the parody done on The State. Every generation probably has its own favorite end-credits sequence, as "crazy credits" (as IMDb calls them) have been around for as long as cast and crew have been listed after the movie -- and before then, you had some fun...

| Film Face-off: '21 Jump Street' vs. '22 Jump Street' Posted: 16 Jun 2014 07:00 PM PDT It sounded like a terrible idea. Take an '80s TV show that was responsible for making Johnny Depp a heartthrob, and turn it into an action comedy. While Jonah Hill had proven himself funny in Superbad, Cyrus and the underrated Funny People, he was bringing Channing Tatum along for the ride, and none of us knew what to make of it... until we saw the film. The movie made $138 million and scored an 85 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. So, Hollywood did a lot of soul searching and shocked everyone by deciding to make a sequel. Thankfully, directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (the team responsible for The Lego Movie) also returned, so let's see if the boys can leave high school behind for some undercover college work in this week's Film Face-off with 21 Jump Street vs. 22...

| Posted: 16 Jun 2014 06:00 PM PDT Skeptic and former stage magician James "The Amazing" Randi has been challenging pseudoscience and supernatural claims for decades. He's a professional debunker, but many people have actually accused Randi of concealing perceived psychic powers during his debunking demonstrations. Randi has re-created the spoon-bending antics of famed psychokinesis guru Uri Geller using simple magic tricks, which led to a major lawsuit. And that wasn't his first legal battle. Randi's story is revealed in the documentary An Honest Liar, which refers to his work as a magician, but also a secret he kept hidden for years. Randi also happens to be gay (he didn't come out until the age of 81). The documentary explores his internal struggle as a man who is in the business of...

| Watch an Awesome Short That Shows What Happens After the Action Movie Ends Posted: 16 Jun 2014 05:00 PM PDT Have you ever wondered what happens to the heroic action-adventure protagonist after the nemesis is dead, the objective is reached, and the ladylove is rescued? Short film Epilogue from Amalgamated Picture Co. imagines just that, offering a glance at the inner world of a movie hero who is trying to figure out what comes next now that his mission is complete. With guns at rest and the love of his life by his side, Skillman struggles to realize his place in the world. Spoofing the genre and the gender stereotypes found within, Epilogue truly does read like the last chapter of an action-adventure flick. The film blends fiction and reality for a moody snapshot of a beloved archetype with a comedic edge. [Spotted via Neatorama] MORE FROM AROUND THE...

| Check Out This Hilarious Short Created Out of Extra Footage from 'The Lego Movie' Posted: 16 Jun 2014 04:00 PM PDT It’s amazing how the Lego brand has expanded in the last decade or so – the little blocks that allow kids to build basically anything they can imagine have gone from being a toy-box staple to the star of video games and movies. The Lego Movie is due to hit home video this week – and there’s no better way to prepare for that momentous occasion than by watching this hilarious trailer for a fake movie titled History Cops, created using some extra footage that was left over from the movie. Will Forte reprises his role as Lincoln, while codirector Phil Lord (we think) voices Michelangelo. The short, which features Abraham Lincoln and Michelangelo as an odd-couple cop duo, is done in a faux grindhouse style that’s instantly recognizable...

| Posted: 16 Jun 2014 03:00 PM PDT The endlessly quotable Pulp Fiction wouldn't be the same without Samuel L. Jackson's Ezekiel speech, which has consistently been voted as one of the best movie speeches of all time. The altered biblical passage, taken largely from Ezekiel 25:17, is recited several times in the film. Scholars and critics have debated its usage and meaning since the movie's 1994 release. Tarantino was inspired to include it thanks to Japanese martial artist Sonny Chiba, as a similar passage appears at the start of Chiba's Karate Kiba (The Bodyguard). During his appearance on the Graham Norton Show, Jackson reprised his famous lines, reciting the passage from memory. Jules Winnfield lives on. Watch the original scene for comparison, below.

| See Jason Momoa's Heroic Aquaman Pose Posted: 16 Jun 2014 02:00 PM PDT There's been a whole lotta Marvel on the mind of late, but DC seems to be changing that with some big announcements and rumors regarding its upcoming slate of superhero movies. Last week we not only heard a report supposedly detailing a very ambitious release schedule for everything from Justice League to Wonder Woman, Shazam and Sandman solo movies. Then word leaked that Jason Momoa was circling the part of Aquaman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, with a larger role planned for the DC hero in Justice League. Momoa, whose most recent roles include the Conan reboot and a part in Bullet to the Head, all but confirmed his Aquaman part with an image on Instagram that should be pretty recognizable to those fans of the character. Yup, that's Momoa... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Update: Harrison Ford Injury Will Keep Him Off 'Star Wars' for Two Months Posted: 16 Jun 2014 01:02 PM PDT UPDATE 6/16: We now know that Harrison Ford broke his ankle in last week's accident on the set of Star Wars: Episode VII. The injury is expected to keep him off set for two months, though filming will continue in his absence and is not expected to affect the December 2015 release date. Previously: Reports have been flooding in this afternoon that Harrison Ford was injured on the set of Star Wars: Episode VII. Full details are a bit scarce at this time, but one thing is consistent: his ankle got injured by a door on the set of the Millennium Falcon. How damaged? That's where the reports vary. Variety initially said Ford sprained his ankle and that Disney issued a statement saying "He was taken to a local hospital and is receiving care." That doesn't...

| Here Are Our Ideas for '23 Jump Street' Through '32 Jump Street' Posted: 16 Jun 2014 12:00 PM PDT 21 Jump Street told the story of what happened when super cops Morton Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Greg Jenko (Channing Tatum) went undercover as high school students. This summer's 22 Jump Street tells the story of what happens when they go undercover as college students. As a friendly service, here are our ideas for all the future Jump Street sequels and what kind of crazy undercover work they will require from this amazing cop-buddy duo. Disclaimer: This piece was originally written before we watched 22 Jump Street and were made aware of its fantastic end-credits sequence. 23 Jump Street Getting Married Someone is murdering single men in the metro area, and the only way to discover the culprit is for Jenko and Schmidt to go undercover as lonely bachelors deeply in...

| Trivia: James Cameron and Kathryn Bigelow Almost Made an 'X-Men' Movie in the 1980s Posted: 16 Jun 2014 11:00 AM PDT It’s common knowledge amongst movie and comic geeks that Avatar director James Cameron spent years trying to make a Spider-Man movie with Marvel Comics. What’s less well known is that the plans to bring everyone’s favorite wall crawler to the big screen weren’t why Cameron and Marvel met up in the first place. The comic company had hopes the filmmaker would tackle another of its huge properties: The X-Men. X-Men writer Chris Claremont recently recounted the tale for the folks over at Blastr, and its definitely worth checking out if only so you can envision what it’s like when Stan Lee and Cameron wind up in the same room. Claremont explains that Cameron met with the company with the idea of producing an X-Men film that Kathryn Bigelow would direct...
