What the Hell? 7 Depictions of the Underworld in Film
Cinematic Listology By Ashe Cantrell on July 21, 2011 | Comments (5)Hell is one of those things that’s up for individual interpretation. Some people believe it’s a real place full of fire and brimstone, or it’s all made up, or it’s a state of mind. Some people think it’s a Shia LaBeouf marathon from which you can never turn away. So, with Hell as a setting, Hollywood basically has a blank slate. They can go the Old Testament route, or they can get more existential with it, or something in-between. (Even Hollywood can’t do the Shia LaBeouf marathon option. No studio would fund that.) As such, here are seven films and their take on the place bad folks go when they die. (Obviously, this contains spoilers for the films listed.)
Year in Review: The Best Comedies of 2009
2009 Year In Review By Amber Humphrey on January 1, 2010 | Comments (6)End of the year lists usually come in tens or some sort of multiple of ten but here, as you will see, there are only seven slots. No, I’m not purposely trying to be subversive, nor was this result of laziness, and I assure you that it wasn’t an attempt to gyp you out of those bottom three slots. There just weren’t ten great, unequivocally funny comedies released this year.

Drinking Games By Kevin Carr on October 14, 2009 | Comments (4)They say that drinking is a sin, and maybe if you do too much of it you might be dragged to hell. But apparently Alison Lohman is on her way there as well, so at least you’ll be in good company…
Rob Hunter loves movies. He also loves working as a delivery driver for Planet Express. These two joys come together in the form of cash money payments that he receives every week and immediately uses to buy more DVDs. So join us each week as he takes a look at new DVD releases and gives his highly unqualified opinion as to which titles are worth BUYing, which are better off as RENTals, and which should be AVOIDed at all cost. (And yes, I am the guy who won’t be recommending Drag Me To Hell.)

Poster Watch: Holmes, Hell, And A Hot Samurai Chick
Movie News By Rob Hunter on March 31, 2009 | Comments (10)A trio of high profile (well two you know and one you’ve never heard of) posters have arrived on the scene in recent days. One tries to capitalize on it’s star, another goes for a literal interpretation of it’s title, and the last highlights a tiny pair of hot Asian butt cheeks.
