  • Andy Samberg has to be one of the luckiest guys alive. Look at that goofball. Between trysting with starlets like Natalie Portman and Kirsten Dunst, his day job includes making shorts like "Lazy Sunday" at Saturday Night Live. And it all started with video sketches Samberg and his Lonely Island cohorts posted on the Web. (The other two guys got writing gigs on SNL.) So it's fitting that Samberg is helping kick off YouTube Sketchies,...

  • We've mentioned our utter distaste for most movie remakes, but here's one that might actually be good. Robert Rodriguez has signed on to remake the classic space nudie Barbarella. The original 1968 Eurotrash film starred Jane Fonda as a super-sexy space vixen sent to the planet Lythion to find the evil Durand Durand (yep, that's where the band gets its name), an evildoer who's fond of killing his victims by forcing them to OD...

  • At the height of the strange filmic subgenre affectionately known as the "Rupert Pupkin documentary," a genre popularized by American Movie and bowdlerized by Windy City Heat, sits the drunk, demented, one-legged granddaddy of them all: Dancing Outlaw. If you've never seen Dancing Outlaw, then stop right here. I don't mean stop reading this review, I mean stop everything else you are doing in your life and get a hold of this movie immediately....

  • Nearly two decades have passed since the last Rambo movie, but for Sly Stallone it's like time never stood still. His mullet is a little longer and his face is craggier, but otherwise the trailer for John Rambo, (AKA Rambo IV), which debuted yesterday on Aint It Cool News, looks like it was unearthed from a Reagan-era time capsule. This iteration of the Rambo franchise finds our eponymous hero living as a humble craftsman somewhere...

  • Avast! Shiver me timbers, ye scruvy dogs! What is a Daily Movie Blarrrgh? It's what happens when you let a pirate write about movies and pop culture and life on the high seas. Why are we letting a pirate write about movies and pop culture? Who knows....
