I know in the world of dudes the Harry Potter series is a big hit or miss. I will have to plead guilty to liking all the movies, though I have yet to read any of the books (hopefully that gives me some dignity). With that said, the new Harry Potter movie looks pretty bad ass. This is movie really seems to grasp a very dark and disturbing vibe that the series has been going towards. I also have high hopes that Harry will finally tag Hermione….and for those that did read the books, please don’t spoil my hopes.
I’ve only read really good reviews about the Pixar movie, Wall-E. The local paper where I live gave it 5 stars and my fellow average dude said, “it’s really really good”, a review that will surely make it on the DVD cover. Now you can’t beat that right. Well it is a children’s movie so what do all the kids seeing it think. PIxar is known for throwing in many jokes meant for the parent that often get overlooked by the core audience, the children.
The fellas over at CollegeHumor.com got the 411 on just what the kids thought of this new Pixar flick:
This video, a clip from the upcoming horror movie On the Doll, has been making its way across the internet, scaring the bejeezus out of dudes everywhere. I’ll admit, I was quite turned off to the movie after seeing this, but once I read the synopsis of the film, I feel like this scene might evoke a cheer from the audience rather than a sob. The clip has Prom Night star Brittany Snow literally busing some dude’s balls. You’ve been warned. Check out the video and the synopsis after the jump. (more…)
Fellow average dude, Scott, passed this video along to me last week and at first I really didn’t know what to think about it. I had to read the title twice because it didn’t really make sense. This movie is not a new comer to the block. It was debuted in 2006 at the Sundance Film Festival and really didn’t hit it off. However, Mr. Will Ferrell has taken to it and claims it to be the “best comedy ever”. That’s really all the movie need and has now gotten a fair amount of internet buzz. If you’ve seen this flick give a shout about it in the comments. I hope to see it soon
After months of hype, the fourth Indiana Jones film has had its initial run at theaters. It managed to rake in $311.1 million worldwide, making it a financial success. But was the movie any good? What did you think? Discuss in the comments.
We here at Average Dudes are huge fans of HD movies. If you’re going to sit through hours of some of Hollywood’s worst ideas, they had better at least look and sound fantastic. With the HD format war long gone, the market can now unite behind one format. The problem is that, with one format, there’s no competition which means there’s no motivation to drive prices lower.
Case in point, Netflix has decided that, because Blu-ray discs cost more in retail stores, people won’t mind paying more to rent them. Their bull-shit reasoning after the break. (more…)
Moon Bloodgood has had quite the career thus far. She started off as a Lakers girl, landed a role as a stripper in CSI (seriously, she was credited in the episode as “Stripper”), and then suddenly she was starring in two major, albeit short-lived, television shows, Day Break and Journeyman.
It appears she’s not slowing down. She’s been cast alongside Christian Bale in “Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins,” the fourth film in the franchise and supposedly the first of a new trilogy. She’ll reportedly be playing “a no-nonsense and battle-hardened member of the resistance who is carrying a lot of guilt over surviving the nuclear holocaust.”
So basically she’ll act like a total manly bitch for the first quarter of the movie and then she’ll sacrifice herself to save the rest of her crew. It’s science…
The newest installment of the Indiana Jones series is rapidly approaching release. News dropped today that the film’s runtime is a staggering 140 minutes which has struck fear in the hearts of those who are waiting impatiently to see it. An action movie that’s two hours and 20 minutes long?
Then comes the worse news: A writer at /Film reports that he was told to “keep expectations low.” NYMag even goes so far as to suggest that Shia LaBeouf is the next Jar Jar Binks. Luckily for me, I have low expectations for just about everything I do. “Aim for the ground and you’ll never get hit by falling debris,” is my motto. Actually I just made that up. Catchy….
Anyways, the movie will make a billion dollars in its first weekend and then in the following weeks everyone will complain about how terrible it is. But guys, George Lucas can’t hear you with all those hundred dollar bills stuffed in his ears.
Every once in a while, a movie comes along that defines a generation. Then there are….Oh screw it…it’s called Zombie Strippers and it’s exactly what it sounds like. It stars Jenna Jameson (who recently had a birthday) and Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger). It’s a straight to DVD movie and chances are it’ll be complete crap. But you know what? The trailer looks pretty badass…for a crap movie, that is. Follow the link for the trailer. (more…)
