My Early Pick For The Worst Movie Of 2009
Should have known from the news that this was actually getting made that this was going to be terrible.
I mean, come on, really. Anyway, it's Ace Ventura Jr. Pet Detective which features Josh Flitter from Nancy Drew & Licensed To Wed fame. It was originally set for a theatrical release in September 2008 but was later bumped to a direct-to-DVD release and now it will be available on March 3, 2009.

The 10 Best And Worst Movies Of 2008 So Far
With only a month to go before 2009 is upon us and everyone is writing their 10 best and worst movies of 2008 lists, I feel that it's natural to write a list of the 10 best and worst movies that I've seen so far.
As many people have said, including Korey, Co-Host, and Sean, the camera phone cop, only two movies are being considered the top dog for Oscar season and they are The Dark Knight & Slumdog Millionaire. I've only seen The Dark Knight but if Slumdog Millionaire starts… Continue

Fox Searchlight Setting Up 'Arrested Development' Movie

An Arrested Development movie has always sounded like the wishful thinking of the television series hardcore fans. Over the years cast and crew have indulged, purportrated rumors, and continued the myth of an Arrested Development movie. I think I may have even made a posting proclaiming that an Arrested Development movie isn’t going to happen, no matter how much the cast members say they would like to reunite.
