Volume 1: Generally speaking, your idea of a good movie scene or a good actor is laughable. ?Sure, you took some movie classes in college and maybe you even reviewed some movies for your high school newspaper. ?Maybe, god help me, you are a filmmaker yourself. ?Whatever the case, when you talk with your friends about movies and actors, you often don't mention the very best. ?Here is a tool for those of you who want to talk about worthwhile aspects of movies, but can't because you don't have very good taste.

Dear Friends. ?Thank you for all the incredible letters of support as my film crew and I once again slog our way through the corporate media madhouse. Does it ever end? Are we ever going to get control of our "free press" again? Can you wish upon a star?

Troy totally overdoes it, changes historical aspects and is kitschy until the last dialogue. Nevertheless: the movie works. Sure, it is impudent from director Petersen to change the history to get a movie working on the screen, but it worked with LORD OF THE RINGS as well, and story is story, history is history, book is book and cinema is cinema!

 The first teaset that was leaked a few weeks ago, then quickly yanked has appeared again, officially. ?And it sucks. ?Ah, what fame and money do to dumb people who let other dumb people decide what is right to do for their career. ?Click on for the stupid teaser and another pic of a half naked Halle Berry.

Some of the best comedies I?ve ever seen were horror flicks. While digging though the extensive horror library of Netflix I came across the crown jewel of bad horror: The Leprechaun series. Last I?d heard they began a franchise with little Warwick Davis (The short guy from Willow) as a blood-thirsty elf, and left off with him starring with Ice-T in one picture. Turns out they made SIX, yes Six ?Leprechaun? films. So there?s no need to wait until next March to celebrate leprechauns, throw your own Leprechaun Party with these films.

The evil, dark-suited, balding white men incharge of the Disney Co. are reportedly refusing to release quasi-documentarian, Michael Moore's new America-Loving, Bush-Hating film, Farenheit 911. ?The film was to be released this summer around the time of the Republican national convention. ?Miramax, owned by Disney, was going to release the film. ?Miramax has been known to go limp when various filmmakers have needed them to be erect (or have wanted final cut on their own projects). ?Bastards. * Inside, a link to an open letter from Moore himself.

Mean Girls surprised the idiots of Hollywood by pulling in an estimated $25m over the weekend. ?It go-on-girl'd its way past 13 Going on 30, Man on Fire, and spaz-tinos Bill 2. ?An impressive (to the fingers with money) showing for Lindsay Lohan and writer Tina Fey. Jack Black and Ben Stiller's Envy bombed on its 1st week out.
