Skeet On...Movies; The Best of 2007
Looking back on 2007, it was a great year for film. Quite a few critics and writers have been comparing this year to 1999 in terms to the amount of quality films. For me, the jury is still out on comparing this year to 1999 because of the impact that 1999 had overall on the movies. Never the less, 2007 was the finest year for films of this decade. Not only because much beloved filmmakers shook the...
"Hills" Star Lost in Hollywood - TMZ.com →
Lip less wonder Audrina either attempts to recreate one of your favorite scenes from This Is Spinal Tap or an episode of “Seinfeld.” You be the judge. I also want to say that sympathize with her because some of those parking structures are difficult to find your car in; which explains why I always park on the roof or the last floor possible. “Where’d you park?”...

I think the guy who played the saxophone in “The Lost Boys” is at the bar and dude is going off with phantom glow sticks.
I guess I should say something about Mischa...

Faux LC is killin’ it on her “The Hills” reality/recreation tour. Where’s Faux Whitney?
There Will Be Blood....
I’m speechless.

Takin' It To The Streets
So, I saw Sweeney Todd the other night. That’s something to be written about on another day; let’s just say, don’t watch another film after you’ve seen The Diving Bell & The Butterfly cause everything will pale in comparison. If there wasn’t a writer’s striker, I want to say that 95% of the trailers I saw would’ve been straight to DVD efforts. Yet one...
The Diving Bell & The Butterfly
Watch it. It’s what the cinema is all about and should be about.
It’s weird or rather ironic, but a lot of girls are watching “Juno” with their moms today.
I think I want some Ron Paul gear for the holidays. Not that I’m going to vote for him or anything, but he seems pretty indie rock’ed out. Like he’s the Built to Spill of candiates. NPR should be on that like a Jamie Lynn Spears punchline to hacky comics.
Jamie Lynn Advised by "Zoey" Co-Star, 15 - TMZ.com →
As a fan of “Zoey 101,” I’m glad that this Jamie Lynn Spears story has provided closure on what happened with the Nicole character, who really made the show work.
I know that the film its self has been out for a...
Raimi 'Hell' bent on thriller - Variety →
So, Sam Raimi is returning to his genre picture roots before moving on to the big dance of The Hobbit (yawn fest). Ironically enough, I picked up the Evil Dead Ultimate Edition today. Here’s to Sam Raimi making a fun, fast, cheap and out of control picture again. Now only if Night of the Creeps was on DVD.
Now that the initial shock over the lack of e-mails from TMZ about the Juno Lynn Spears incident, the weirdness of it has finally sunken in. Holy shit. The Spears are one fucked up family and We thought that Jamie Lynn Spears was going to be the normal one. The one that learned from her sister’s mistakes and cranked out a semi decent acting career, but nope. Wrong. Okay, maybe not it’s not a We...
Film Of The Week- The Savages
For as much as I love Juno, I have to say that Tamara Jenkins’ The Savages is the best written film of the year and one of the five best films of the year. For personal reasons I’d rather not get into, The Savages hit way too close to home for me, yet I felt comforted by it. It’s an extremely honest and real film with great performances by Laura Linney, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Philip Bosco....
Pitt in talks to star in 'Tree of Life' - The new... →
Dear Brad Pitt, Please don’t ‘ankle’ this picture and put the masterful Terrence Malick into a “Darren Aronofsky” type situation. I mean if things fall apart, Malick will rise above. He always will, but the thing is, the film going public can’t wait who knows how many years for the next Malick film. Okay, maybe me, the goons over at Senses of Cinema and various...

I can’t believe I missed this story. I guess this is what happens when you go to the movies in the late afternoon; by the by, The Savages is amazing. I mean, holy smokes. I have to take back my previous statement that those Disney channel girls being wilder than those Nick girls. Shit, Emma Robert must be a meth addict or Miranda Cosgrove is selling nuclear weapons to North Korea. Gillian...

There are two types of people in the world...
Those who watch “The Wire” and those who are the friends of people that watch “The Wire” and have to listen to them talk about how great “The Wire” is all the time.
Steam Machine
I never thought there would an individual who creeps me out more than Jonah Hill, but apparently that person is Zac Efron. The dude already looks like Bruce Jenner, like the Bruce Jenner who’s forced to live the Kardashians. I can’t imagine the hell that is to live with the Kardashian family. I think I’d rather go to a Raiders game in Oakland wearing the other team’s gear than live with the...
Here's the Deal...
Dude, just finished season 1 of “The Wire.” Starting season 2 very soon. “Wire” creator David Simon should be given an unlimited budget and just do whatever he wants with Edward Burns (not the actor dude, but the brilliant co writer on pretty much episode of “The Wire”). It really is a visual novel and that’s probably why people aren’t into that...

3 Things To Consider....
1.Is “Rainy Dayz” by Raekwon & Ghostface the best rap song of all time? 2. The Dark Knight Prologue before IMAX showings of I Am Legend is stunning. Well worth the 15 bucks for IMAX and sitting through I Am Legend for. Seriously, IMAX theaters should just run the short film on its own. I’d pay ten bucks to see it again. 3. Why is The Dime so crowded and feel as if you must...

I think I saw Edgar Wright at Canters. I should ask if he’s gonna direct Jennifer’s Body cuz he should.

Shorties everywhere. Too bad I have a glamorous cold sore. Go DJ!

The best part of Shitty Walk are skinny jeans and the performance by PO3.

Say That To Say This Part 29
Somewhere between disc two and disc three of “The Wire” Season 1 and the I’m not sure if it’s productive or not, but I certainly like the new stuff rewrite notes for the baby jam sessions and jogging while inhaling lovely smells of gasoline and car exhaust, I managed to read Diablo Cody’s latest script, Jennifer’s Body. I’ll spare the intern style coverage as well as the Aint It Cool News style...
"Cloverfield" Hurts My Head
I didn’t want to watch this clip from Cloverfield which is basically an extended version of the teaser trailer that was released during the summer, but for the love of crumb cake, the clip is great. I hope that calling the movie “The Blazer Witch Project” isn’t a bit premature. via Slash Film
The Actually Interesting People of 2007
As we at the Empire do every year without fail, here’s our list of actually interesting people from 2007. Sure, the media wants you to believe that some English dude who came to play soccer in LA is interesting, but the dude just rode the pine and talked with a girly voice. That’s not interesting. That’s boring. Soccer is never going to happen in America. Well, I mean, it is happening, but it’ll...

Mario Lopez - Worst "Pushy Questions for..." Ever. →
“The Wire” is so fucking good. It’s perfectly constructed. Tense, funny, and fully realized characters. Grow a pair and watch “The Wire”. You’ll feel smarter for watching it and more importantly, you’ll be entertained. I hope that my store has the rest of season 1 or I’ll have to watch season 2 without knowing the end of it all.
BRB
Watchin’ “The Wire”.
