I think Scrooged is a great movie. It's hilarious, but also dark as hell, and it has a nice message, and then there's a sing-along at the end. I also think Groundhog Day is a great movie. It's funny, and it explores its premise to the fullest, and it gets a little dark, and when he gets her at the end I always say "Awwww." You know what made both those movies great? Bill Murray.
Now let's pretend you were going to make a movie with the plot of Scrooged but the hook from Groundhog Day, only you were going to take away all the charm and fabulosity, and replace Bill Murray with someone deeply unlikeable.
Guess what? You don't have to pretend! I present you with The 12 Days Of Christmas Eve, starring Steven "900 Years On Wings" Weber and Molly "I Was Never Funny" Shannon. Thanks, USA Network. This is going to be the best Christmas ever.

If this website had a mission statement, it would be something like: To Boldly Make Fun of Britney And Justin, No Matter The Cost, and in that spirit, I will admit to a certain unhealthy fixation on Mr. Timberlake's "movie" "career." (We'll just see how this pans out, won't we, Mr. "I told Brit Crossroads was a bad idea.") Cinematic Happenings Under Development says that Justin's just signed up with John Cassavetes to star in Iron Man.
Augh. No. Justin, let me explain this to you in pictures, so I can be sure you'll understand:

Of course, you know that won't help much; I'm pretty sure Justin's reaction to that would be "Damn, I look fine. Check out J-Lo's ass! Did I tap that yet? Yeah, I did! Wait, no, that was Janet Jackson. Damn. I better go call my mom."

Hi Bing, hi L. We're not dead. We've been... resting.
The Life And Death Of Peter Sellers, HBO
Geoffrey Rush is an amazing actor, but whenever I hear him speak, now, I expect him to sneer out something about the monkey's name being Jack. As is befitting a bio-pic about Peter Sellers he plays multiple rolls, in his films and in this film, if that makes any sense. It's very trippy, and seems to imply that Sellers was Austin Powers before there was an Austin Powers, although at no point does he bust out with "shagadellic." On the other hand, "She's a MAN, baby," would work just fine, because one of the rolls he plays is an extremely creepy bit where he plays his own mother on her deathbed. The rest of the movie is just fucked up -- and I mean that as a compliment.
