  Filed under: Animation, Comedy, 20th Century Fox, Movie MarketingI don't have any children of my own -- but I have a lot of old friends who are precisely my age. And they ALL have kids. Big bunches of sticky, adorable, smart, loud, wonderful, moody kids. Once in a while I'll get an amusing little phone call that sounds a lot like this: "Hi Uncle

  Filed under: Fandom, Fan RantMany people don't transition well between careers, but Jason Lee smoothly slid from professional skateboarder -- with his own pair of Airwalks -- to slacker actor with no problem at all. Mallrats might not be a stellar example of comedic cinema, but it's an incredibly fun flick worth repeated viewings just to see Lee's

And to

  Filed under: Fandom, DIY/Filmmaking, Fan RantJust to answer your inevitable (and intelligent) response to my headline: No, not in all cases. Obviously. I wouldn't cut a frame of The Godfather (175 minutes), The Shawshank Redemption (142m), or Aliens (137m theatrical, 164m director's cut), but I'm noticing an irritating trend: over-inflated running

  Filed under: Fandom, Fan RantOver the last year, I have written most of Cinematical's posts on the big-screen version of Sex and the City. This is because I know most of the Carrie Bradshaw-verse inside and out. I'm not a rabid fan of the series, but I end up popping the seasons in at least once a year, as background noise, while I

  Filed under: Celebrities and Controversy, ExhibitionIn the words of Inigo Montoya: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.Shyness. I can't even begin to count the times that I've heard about actors who are shy. They struggle with the spotlight, they're shy even though they're outgoing on-screen, or have bared

  Filed under: Exhibition, Fan RantAt risk of sounding like a lame comedian circa 1985, I will now offer some very basic rules of moviegoing that I hope we can all agree with. Because really -- if we ALL agree on them, then every one of my complaints should be remedied by this time tomorrow. And that would be great.A. Young children in movie
