Heavy Action: 22 Die Hard Rip-offs

by Patrick Bromley

It's science fact that Die Hard is the best action movie of all time. If you don't think so, here are 22 movies that prove the theorem by ripping off its formula with varying degrees of success. No action movie has been imitated more.

Riske Business: The Summer Movie Stock Market

Who had a good summer at the movies? Who hit the skids? What trends are on the rise? Which are sucking wind? I sat down with Jaden Smith and, using multidimensional mathematics, we found the special equation to get our summer movie answers. It was tough. We had to develop a whole new set of mathematics to get to these equations because our mathematics hasn’t evolved enough yet. Anyways, it was a really fun sleepover party. Brody Jenner was there. Bai Ling. Cash bar! Patterns, boom.

Review: White House Down

I'm not sure I have the words.

Watchin' Trailerz with Doug (May 10)

Anyone notice the new "look" of the MPAA's rating screens before movie previews? They're weird, right? I mean, maybe they're not -- maybe I'm just opposed to change. But they seem fake -- like a fan trailer for an existing movie, or a trailer for a really bad student film by the guy in film school who isn't going anywhere ... but HE THINKS he's going places, and just to prove it, he's "approximated" the old green screen from a distant, drunk memory. I could be wrong about this whole thing (and I see they've embraced the 2008 branding of Barack Obama by selecting the now-eponymous Gotham font, so that's a good start?). Again, I could be wrong.

Review: Olympus Has Fallen

by Adam Riske

Olympus Has Fallen (aka Gerard Hard) did not have to be original. It did not have to being saying anything worthwhile. It just had to be a competent action movie and it is not. It’s a stupid, lazy piece of shit, and that’s why I’m taking the gloves off.
