retro trailer: ‘The Muppet Movie’

Take a look back at an old trailer… This is a looong trailer — I’m not sure where it came from. Don Deluise, Steve Martin, Madeline Kahn, Cloris Leachman, Milton Berle, Charles Durning, Mel Brooks… and of course, Kermit and Miss Piggy. It’s a who’s who of 1970s comedy This might be the first movie … more…

trailer break: ‘Letters to God’

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Somehow I don’t think that undeliverable letters become the individual journey of whatever letter carrier happens to come across them. I believe that could be considered a federal crime, actually, to interfere with mail, even if it is undeliverable. Just goes to show how anti-Christian the federal … more…

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… I’ve always said that when I got around to writing my “what if I got myself artificially knocked up just before I met the man of my dreams” rom-com, I would be sure to include a scene in which a crippled dog chews up the preggers testing … more…

trailer break: ‘The Switch’

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Honey, I Fathered the Kid? Hilarious and charming! What woman wouldn’t be won over to discover that the superstud she thought had inseminated her is actually the neurotic Nice Guy(TM) who could never be bothered to let her know that he “has feelings” for her? It’s every … more…

retro trailer: ‘The Greatest Story Ever Told’

Take a look back at an old trailer… Happy Zombie Jesus Day! For your enjoyment, enjoy Charlton Heston as Caveman John the Baptist, Telly Savalas as Pontius Pilate, John Wayne as a Roman centurion, and Max von Sydow as Ralph Fiennes as Jesus. It’s got the Good Housekeeping seal of approval! (Seriously? Good Housekeeping used … more…

trailer break: ‘Date Night’

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Oh. My. God. It’s like someone made a CGI action comedy about, I dunno, squirrels who think they’re secret agents, and then digitally removed the squirrels and replaced them with live actors. It’s like the opposite of motion capture to create a cartoon. I would like to … more…
