Time for your daily AOL /SlashControl fix of deliciously free movies! After Henry Fool and frightening Frogs , I'm going with my second choice for pick numero uno: The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas . Is it weird that this was one of my favorite flicks as a kid? My youthful bad taste not withstanding, I have no idea why or how I saw this flick a number of times as a youngin'. It was rated R after...
Skip It Early in iMurders , the film cuts to Seamus St. Martin (Academy Award-nominee Charles Durning) and Janet Ling (Miranda Kwok, in one one of the movie's worst performances) sitting in a room together, drinking tea. Ling is tapping her feet on the floor (six taps in groups of three, or 6-6-6), and Martin asks why, with Janet explaining that it doesn't have anything to do with her mother. The...
By Brett Stanley It used to be that you had to go to the video store to get a movie. The next generation it seems will be getting their movies from movie downloads, avoiding any trips to the store. Below, is a sample of some of the movies you can find using movie download sites. Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire: With the exciting Tri-wizard Tournament coming up, Harry Potter is surprisingly selected...
AT LEAST THEY WOULD BE ENTERTAINING.Much better than Pelosi trying to stifle dissent I saw this movie a few nights ago and forgot how funny it was!! Anyway Charles Durning was great and that was my favorite part. I think he got a Ocasr Nomination for that. Update had to post this part of the movie too LOL
By Sergio Randall For years now, the video store was the way to get movies. Now, with internet usage exploding, movie downloads are becoming very popular. You will find just about any movie you want with a good movie download site. Below is a small sample. Formula Fifty One: Crazy, tongue-in-cheek Hong Kong-fashion yam loaded with action and brutality. Jackson plays a pharmaceutical whiz that creates...

I failed once again in my effort to get The Husband and The Daughter to agree to an Ingmar Bergman film. They refused. The Daughter has never seen a Bergman film, and The Husband has only seen one. I'm just giving it up. From now on I'll find a time when The Younger Son and I can watch the foreign films. But, for me, tonight kills Family Movie Night. I'll watch whatever they pick, of course, but it's...
This weekend we were visiting relatives, both mine and The Wife's. On the way from one to the other, we passed through La Grange, close enough to the site of the old Chicken Ranch that I could've seen the ruins had trees not blocked the view. I remarked to The Wife that the book project really has taken complete hold of me, since we all I could think as we passed through Fayette County was that I was...
By Scott M. Fulton, III , Betanews In the final scenes of Twilight's Last Gleaming (1977), which history may yet restore to its rightful place as one of the dumbest movies ever made, the President of the United States (Charles Durning) learns from a renegade general-turned-prison escapee (Burt Lancaster) that the whole point of the Vietnam War was a geopolitical bluster intended to convince the Soviet...

A Fonder Heart will be shot at locales in the Tampa-St. Petersburg area starting next month, writer-director Jim Fitzpatrick told Wednesday's St. Petersburg Times.

This is one of my all time favorite Olivia Newton-John songs, one that is sadly been mostly forgotten. "Livin' In Desperate Times" is such a product of its time it's not even funny. Those cheesy 80s synths, her incredibly large hair, and odds are good that there are some shoulder pads underneath that blue coat. But oddly enough, I think it plays very well now, probably due to the fact that...
