I was going to take my kids to see the new Yogi Bear movie, but based on this alternate ending that's just been leaked, I'm thinking it might be too dark. Good job, Mr. Earle.

One of my favourite Christmas movies is "A Christmas Story". Hey Ralphie, what would you like for Christmas?
In honour of Leslie Nielsen's passing, here are my five favourite quotes from Lt. Frank Drebin in The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!. It's true what they say: Cops and women don't mix. It's like eating a spoonful of Drano; sure, it'll clean you out, but it'll
Watch a Nick Cage film, and there's bound to be a moment or two when he completely loses his shit. Here's a bunch of those moments in one awesome video montage. Here are the movies from the above video. 0:09 - 0:30 Vampire:s Kiss 0:30 -
The montage that opened Saturday night's Leafs / Habs match-up on Hockey Night in Canada was pretty awesome. I've been critical lately of these opening HNIC montages as they've been pretty weak so far this season, but this one was a winner. The song is Paul Langlois' "Can't Wait Anymore" from
One of the most overused lines in cinema history.
My kids wanted to watch the 1973 Robin Hood cartoon from Disney. I remember seeing it in the mid-80s at the old Westwood theatre. That theatre, sort of tucked away near Kipling and Dundas, still stands, despite being closed down over a decade ago. Luckily for my kids, the old
I could tell you... but then I'd have to kill you.
Someone by the name of Cool Papa Bell left a comment on MetaTalk regarding Ferris Bueller's Day Off that I quite liked. My favorite thought-piece about Ferris Bueller is the "Fight Club" theory, in which Ferris Bueller, the person, is just a figment of Cameron's imagination, like Tyler Durden, and
I think I'll like This Movie Is Broken, Bruce McDonald's new film. It tells the story of fictional lovers Bruno and Caroline in their quest to score tickets to a BSS concert. It was written by Don McKellar, and features a whack of fan-sourced footage of the band in concert.
I love Quentin Tarantino movies. Tarantino has a few shots he likes to use in each of his films. He really likes this one:
Maybe I'm still upset with Paul Gross because of Passchendaele. That link goes to my review of the film, which is rather scathing. Here's an excerpt, with a big fat spoiler alert. And then there's my least favourite scene in this movie. It just so happens to be the climatic
I ran a little Oscar pool. I actually opened it up to anyone, by tweeting the link, and 16 people played along. I got 13, which wasn't too shabby. My wife, however, won the pool with 15. She was smart enough to go with The Hurt Locker for both best
Now that the deadline has passed for the little Oscar pool I run, I can safely unveil my predictions. If you want to win your pool, don't copy me. Of the ten movies nominated for best picture, I only saw three of them. Here's what I'm going with. I'll let
Alfred Hitchcock made a cameo appearance in 39 of his 52 major films. Here are most of them. [via @ebertchicago]

You know that movie you really, really like that everybody else hates? We all have one. For me, that movie is Dirty Work. I've always liked Norm MacDonald, so when I learnt Norm was filming a Bob Saget film right in my own backyard, I was pretty psyched. There are
A long time ago, I listed my ten favourite television shows of all-time. Number 8 was "Kids in the Hall", a show that was guaranteed to leave me in stitched when I watched it weekly on CBC from 1988 to 1994. I just found Dave Foley, Kevin McDonald, Bruce McCulloch,

I love me a good documentary, and as a fan of music and Canadiana, I simply can't wait to see "Anvil! The Story of Anvil". I watch the bulk of my movies on The Movie Network, and generally you wait almost a full year from the time a film hits
I just watched a show called "Ink: Alter Egos Exposed" on IFC Canada. It's a cool series about comics and graphic novels that I stumbled upon. It's hosted by Headstones lead singer Hugh Dillon. Is it me or is Hugh Dillon everywhere these days? Between the promos for Flashpoint and
Hoop Dreams is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. I first saw it fifteen years ago after seeing it reviewed on Siskel & Ebert. Here's the review that got me to invest 3 hours in Hoop Dreams, one of the best investments I've made. Roger Ebert looks back
Sometimes they say the name of the movie in the movie. Here's a nice montage of such moments in several films you know and love. [via Videogum]
