Emerald Catron — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 03:49:05 +0000

You know, we're going to forgive these guys for referring to the great Sam Neill as "The Guy From 'Jurassic Park'" (have they really never seen 'Omen III: End of Days'????). Because this latest honest trailer from the folks at Screen Junkies is funny. And also because of their extended shot of shirtless 'Jurassic Park'-era Jeff Goldblum posing sexily with his blouse unbuttoned. Yeah, it's a blouse. Look at it.

Jackie Mancini — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 15:00:26 +0000

If you haven’t revisited ‘Weekend at Bernie’s II’ as an adult, cancel your plans and rent this movie tonight. Trust me. They say hindsight is 20/20, and I believe them now; ten-year-old me didn’t notice how utterly psychotic this sequel is. What’s that?

The recent 'Amazing Spider-Man' and the upcoming 'Man of Steel' seem to get all the attention regarding studios' attempt to "reboot" franchises, but that's pretty much the same thing as what's going on with 'Oz the Great and Powerful.'
