Your Alternate Box Office: ‘Erik the Viking,’ ‘My Best Friend’s Wedding,’ and ‘Maverick’
Features By Cole Abaius on May 6, 2011 | Comments (1)Whether you’re trying to avoid the releases this week or augment them with even more movies, Your Alternate Box Office offers some options for movies that would play perfectly alongside of (or instead of) the stuff studios are shoving into the megaplex this weekend. This week features a hammer-wielding Norse God from the pages of Marvel, a woman who can’t keep her hands off her friend’s fiance, and a crazed Mel Gibson with a puppet on his hand.
You’ve stumbled upon Circle of Jerks, our sporadically published, weekly feature in which we ask the questions that really matter to our writers and readers. It’s a time to take a break from our busy lives and revel in the one thing that we all share: a deep, passionate love of movies. If you have a question you’d like answered by the FSR readers and staff, send us an email at editors@filmschoolrejects.com. As some of you know, my wedding was last week, and during the 9th hour of the reception, someone (or my Four Loko-addled mind) brought up the blissful concept of movie weddings. What’s your favorite? – Cole A.
For 36 days straight, we’ll be exploring the famous 36 Dramatic Situations by presenting a film that exemplifies each one. From family killing family to prisoners in need of asylum, we brush off the 19th century list in order to remember that it’s still incredibly relevant today. Whether you’re seeking a degree in Literature, love movies, or just love seeing things explode, our feature should have something for everyone. If it doesn’t, please don’t bully us into singing a Dionne Warwick song in a seafood restaurant. Part 22 of the 36-part series takes a look at “Mistaken Jealousy” with My Best Friend’s Wedding.
Art is an Act of Violence: Refn Talks ‘Bronson’ and Transformations
Features By Cole Abaius on October 10, 2009 | Be the First To CommentNicolas Winding Refn is a great filmmaker. He’s also an avid toy collector and a man obsessed with violence and criminals. Watch how these things come together as we enter the mind of the man who gave us Bronson.
Too often we bicker and argue about what sequels should never have been made – and there are a lot of them. Now, we’d like to take a look at a few sequels that actually should be made but, for some reason, haven’t been.
I can’t see how anyone can’t see this film as a cheap rip-off of My Best Friend’s Wedding… only with a dude. And the only thing that McDreamy proves with this film is that while he probably knows Julia Roberts and has met Julia Roberts, he’s no Julia Roberts.
Movie Drinking Games: Made of Honor
Drinking Games By Kevin Carr on May 2, 2008 | Be the First To CommentWell, Dr. McDreamy has finally gotten his big shot at a summer movie. Too bad he’s going up against Iron Man his first week out. This probably makes him regret spending all those years in McDreamy Medical School. So, you might want to have a drink or two to numb the McPain.
