So you’ve been thinking about quitting your job at Steak N Shake? A position just opened up that might interest you!

Joe and Jerry are two musicians who see a mob murder and decide to go into hiding in an all-female band. The gorgeous Sugar Kane Kowalcyk is part of the troupe, which might just be two good reasons to stay in hiding.

Since Ninja Assassin comes out on Wednesday to slice your turkey for you, I thought you might want to re-read my interview with its director. Sadly for you, it’s on video.

Robert Fure, agent of the devil, wants to corrupt your children by not letting you know the full range of dangers contained in the films you watch. Burn him at the stake or just warm up the tar and pluck the feathers?

News Askew has reported that the teaser trailer for the film that stars Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks, has suddenly disappeared. When Kevin Smith was asked why this happened, his response got a pretty good chuckle out of me.

Something has been happening in Hollywood over the past few years, and some people are really getting their noses out of joint about it: PG-13ification of American cinema.

“Now I have access to tons of bandwidth on my campus network. Now I can illegally download movies that I can’t afford to go see in theaters thanks to Astrive student loans!”
