DVD shuffle: 03/28/06

March 28, 2006 /

Out on DVD this week:

1) King Kong – BUY: An average DVD for an average film. Don’t get me wrong. I liked Peter Jackson’s epic just as much as everyone else, but by the end of the film, it just doesn’t stick with you the same way the “LOTR” trilogy did.

2) Memoirs of a Geisha – RENT: A great film that didn’t get the recognition it deserved. With that being said, however, I’m not exactly sure anyone needs to see it more than once.

3) Stay – PASS: This movie makes absolutely no sense. Renting it would make even less.

4) Get Rich or Die Tryin’ – PASS: Is 50 Cent the next Daniel Day Lewis? Hardly. So why is Jim Sherridan wasting his time with this no-talent hack? You got me. But please, don’t encourage this kind of behavior and stay away.

Also out this week is the sci-fi disaster “A Sound of Thunder,” season five of “Six Feet Under” and the “Planet of the Apes” Ultimate DVD Collection.

Over Joss Whedon’s dead body, I expect…

March 27, 2006 /

…but Lindsay Lohan thinks it would be “cool” to play Wonder Woman in the upcoming feature-film on the Amazon super-heroine.

“I’m trying to find roles right now that are different to anything I’ve done to show my abilities, to show that I have some sort of stretch in me,” says Lohan. “Because most of the things that I’ve done so far are aimed at younger girls and are light-hearted.”

Honest to God, Lindsay, just make the move to softcore, straight-to-video porn and be done with it already…

“Die Hard”…as a silent movie?

March 27, 2006 /

Thank you, once again, YouTube, for this.

“It’s Christmas, 1924, and young Manhattanite John McClane visits olde Los Angeles towne to see his wife and enjoy yultide splendor. However, a few ne’er-do-wells have plans of their own, and C4.”

If you laughed at things like “Steamboat Itchy” or any other silent movie parodies from “The Simpsons,” “Futurama,” or “Family Guy,” you’ll be rolling at this just as much as I was…

Box Office Roundup: This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco…this ain’t no bank robbery!

March 27, 2006 /

Based on Sunday’s estimates:

1) Inside Man: $28.9 million (first week)
We are totally buying a copy of “Kill Dat Nigga” the second it hits the shelves.
2) V for Vendetta: $12.3 million ($46.1 million, second week)
The revolution is coming…to a discount theater near you.
3) Stay Alive: $11.2 million (first week)
A video game that kills its players…written by Tipper Gore.
4) Failure to Launch: $10.8 million ($63.8 million, third week)
Don’t know about anyone else, but if Terry Bradshaw’s my dad, I’m getting the hell out the house as soon as possible.
5) The Shaggy Dog: $9.1 million ($47.9 million, third week)
Hard to believe that “Galaxy Quest” and “Toy Story 2,” his last two good movies, were from the last century.

Proof that there is a god: “Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector” finished seventh with $7 million. We can already see the drinking game that is created for this movie: any time there’s a fart joke, you know what to do.

Cleveland: It’s the new New York

March 24, 2006 /

In the latest example of studio penny-pinching, exterior scenes for the latest “Spiderman” sequel, which is set in New York as usual, will be shot in the thriving metropolis of…Cleveland, Ohio. Digital imagery will be used to Biggie-Size downtown Cleveland’s somewhat-smaller-than-Manhattan-style skyscrapers in order to fool everyone who has been to neither New York nor Cleveland into believing that Spidey and the gang are still shaking things up in the Big Apple.

No word yet on whether villains Venom (Topher Grace) and Sandman (Thomas Haden Church) will put on an evil death metal concert spectacular at the “New York” Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for the film’s big finale.
