Charlie Sheen

Machete Kills review: justice is bloody (hilarious)

Sun, Oct 06, 2013

Forget about the socially conscious core that fueled the exploitation engine of the first film. This one is flat-out, no-message action comedy, outrageous and hilarious.

question of the day: What actors would you ban from working in Hollywood, and for what offense?

Wed, Sep 14, 2011

Of course, we have no power to ban anyone, and we’re not even calling for anyone to actually be banned. We’re just daydreaming about those people we’d like to think could no longer enjoy their fame and fortune.

question of the day: If Eric Stoltz could have been Marty McFly, what other 80s movies might have been differently cast?

Wed, Oct 13, 2010

Did you know that Eric Stoltz was originally cast as Marty McFly in Back to the Future? I seem to vaguely recall hearing something along those lines, but now there’s video evidence… because Robert Zemeckis actually shot for weeks before deciding that Stoltz was wrong for the role.
