Former Captain America Trainer To Reveal Steroid Use In Explosive New Tell All Book
Barry Bonds may have shamed America's favorite sport, but Captain America is threatening to disgrace the reputations of our country's naturally gifted super heroes as allegations of steroid abuse are coming to light. Former trainer of the star spangled avenger and author Mitch Frumpshank will soon be revealing the secrets to Cap's success in his new tell all book "Juicin Cap's Ass" hitting store shelves this summer. With a new bio-pic about his life hitting theaters and recent acceptance into "The Avengers" super hero club, a scathing record of his training regimen could not have come at a more inopportune time.

Currently Obsessed With: Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog
I don't know how many of you like musicals, but there actually are some good ones out there. You just have to do a little searching. A friend mentioned Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog to me, and being a Joss Whedon fan, I had to check it out. The plot is pretty simple; Dr. Horrible (Neil Patrick Harris) is trying to get into the Evil League of Evil, but his arch-nemesis, Captain Hammer (Nathon Fillion) always foils his amazingly Evil plans. Complicating matters is the fact that Captain Hammer starts dating Penny, whom Dr. Horrible has a total crush on. The title comes from the fact that Dr. Horrible has a video blog where he's usually either complaining about being foiled by Captain Hammer, or making his maniacal plans known to everyone who's computer-capable.

Going back to work after celebrating the 4th of July just got a little easier, but what chain of events has led to the sudden rejoicing of summer blockbuster fans everywhere?

Peter Falk (1927-2011)
All over the web, the news of Peter Falk's death has come in one flavor: something to the effect of, "Peter Falk, TV's Columbo, dead." Falk was amazing as Frank Columbo, but I'd like to show you a different character of his. In 2001, Falk played a mob boss in Jon Favreau's comedy classic, Made. He wasn't in the movie a hell of a lot, but he stole every scene he was in. He gave that sort of performance that made me believe he was that character. Even in his short amount of screen time, I really thought he could have me whacked if he wanted to; all he had to do was pick up the phone. I don't think one scene does justice to a lifetime of acting, but I do think this is a fitting tribute. I have to be careful to keep on topic here, because Vince Vaughn is something else in this film. It's his best role, by far, and I would say it's the epitome of his personality. I might write something up on the film at some point, but I digress. Enjoy a fucking awesome Peter Falk performance.

Django Unchained 101: Let's talk about the title
There are two things in my film life that I consider myself to be somewhat knowledgeable of. One is the spaghetti west and the other is Quentin Tarantino's body of work. I'm kind of a biased fanboy when it comes to the former video store geek and while I don't get all the references he has peppered into his flicks, I can usually get some of it. See....you have to be careful when viewing the hyper ones work all right.....he'll try to trick and mislead you all right. Let's take "Inglorious Basterds" for example. That movie wasn't about a group of ragtag soldiers on a suicide mission to kill Hitler. That was merely a clever disguise designed to show you his love of European cinema and present you a foreign film made by an American. Now let's get to the bottom of "Django Unchained" all right.
Currently Obsessed with: Alfred Hitchcock's "Frenzy"
I recently decided that I would no longer review movies on this blog. There are a thousand and one better places to go for scintillating critique than here. It doesn't mean that I won't write about stuff that's on my mind though. Cinema that I love.........cinema that sticks to my brain.........cinema that makes me obsessed. Like when they have a James Bond marathon on TV and I feel compelled to watch every stinking one of them driving my wife insane in the process. She knows now that I just need to ride it out.....get it out of my system for a while......till the next itch needs scratching.

Breakfast Club remake to actually showcase teen diversity this time
The 1985 Brat Pack classic usually conjures up fond memories for those who have seen it, but the powers that be at Universal studios don't seem to share the admiration anymore. A remake for "The Breakfast Club" has been greenlit, and movie execs are chomping at the bit to update the tale of social diversity amongst teens. True fans cry blasphemy, but the filmmakers are promising that this won't just be a quick cash grab for a creatively bankrupt Hollywood. So what will be different this time?
