MASHUP: REVOLUTIONARY ROAD TITANIC 2: MARRIAGE DISASTER

Here’s a mashup that answers the question we’ve all been wondering since Jack died, “What would’ve happened if he had lived and they had gotten marreid?”

INTRODUCING: THE BOX OFFICE BREAKDOWN

What’s up good movie lovers!?

Am I the only one tired of the 1950’s stilted news reporting style of Box Office Numbers nowadays? And, these “reports” don’t even tell you anything about the movies, stars, H-wood or what it means for us, the audience.

It’s time for TMPC to jump in the pool and heat things up. Here’s no bullsh*t breakdown of the numbers and what they mean for everyone involved, including and most importantly, us!

Let me know what you think. This should be a regular segment soon. Enjoy!

Let me know what you think. Thanks for your support and especially in this case - LONG LIVE GOOD MOVIES!

DISASTER MOVIE PREVIEW REVIEW

What’s up good movie lovers!?

It’s finally here. The cinematic bastard child born of a market research and H-Wood accountant greed fueled gang bang.

I guess the question isn’t “if” it’ll be bad, but just “how” bad will it be.

To answer that, I’ve put on a bio-containment suit, set the xenon showers to maximum sterilization and am diving head first into this steaming pile of by-the-spoof-formula-numbers-would-be-funny celluloid excrement.

You might want to get a clothes pin to hold your nose closed as you watch this review. Enjoy and as always, LONG LIVE GOOD MOVIES!

GEORGE CARLIN TRIBUTE

 It’s a sad day for humanity. One of it’s major artists has just died.

George Carlin is being remembered as a comedian, counterculture hero and irreverent funny man. But I think George Carlin was much more than that - George Carlin was a comeditarian - what the F is that? Check out this tribute of George Carlin for the answers and to spend some time pondering the man who pondered about us all his entire professional life.

GET SMART PREVIEW REVIEW

WHAT’S UP GOOD MOVIE LOVERS!

Here’s another unoriginal movie defiling our movie screens - the adaptation of the hit Mel Brooks 60’s Spy Spoofing TV show Get Smart.

It’s got Steve Carell, Princess Diaries and The Rock, so it should be pretty decent right? Hopefully.

If you look at the preview, they sure are selling us some tired jokes. Let’s try to find the movie truth in this review.

JUNE 13th

THE INCREDIBLE HULK PREVIEW REVIEW

WHAT’S UP GOOD MOVIE LOVERS!

The Hulk gets the reboot treatment a mere 5 years after Ang Lee’s visually interesting, emotionally comical and very very very very very very slow story.

This time it’s Edward Norton acting - which is a good thing, right? And the director from The Transporter in charge of the vision. Well, at least it’ll have action this time around.

Hopes are high at Marvel for bringing this franchise back to life, or really, giving it the kick start it never got. But then again, it’s about a guy who gets pissed, turns green and breaks sh*t. I can see that at the Bar around the corner. How interesting can this premise be for a series of movies? Let’s find out here.

JUNE 9th

MPN REPORT: WHAT THE F HAPPENED TO STEVE MARTIN?

With a teaser trailer for The Pink Panther 2 just released, it's time to take a look at why Pink Panther 2 even exists and why God why Mark Twain Prize for Humor Award Winner Steve Martin would want to punish us again after we continue forgiving him for his cinematic body of work over the last decade. This was originally part of a MPN report in 2007.

JUNE 5th

HANCOCK PREVIEW REVIEW

WHAT’S UP GOOD MOVIE LOVERS!

Will Smith is ready to collect another $200 million in what should be a challenging role...if the filmmakers have some balls and take chances.

But, from the preview, it looks like there won’t be much of an opponent, which could mean a flat third act. Here’s to hoping this unofficial spoof of the superhero genre lives up to the hype. For now, check out the preview review.

MAY 31st

SEX AND THE CITY PREVIEW REVIEW

WHAT’S UP GOOD MOVIE LOVERS!

Sex and the City was one of the most popular series of the 2000’s, so of course H-Wood is gonna make a movie to cash in.

So, will this be any good? Does it need to be? Because, more than anything, this is a movie, a story, characters that women can call their own. This is femaledom’s Star Wars! Check out this audio review for some exploration of this movie’s truth.

MAY 23rd

INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL PREVIEW REVIEW

WHAT’S UP GOOD MOVIE LOVERS!

Indy’s back! But, he’s brought Shia with him as a possible replacement :(

Do Spielberg, Lucas and Ford still have the magic, or is this just another franchise resurrected so H-Wood can cash in?

Like Indy, let’s brush away the sand, search deep in the caves and find some Movie Truth about this one.

MAY 2nd

IRON MAN PREVIEW REVIEW

WHAT’S UP GOOD MOVIE LOVERS!

Director John Swingers Favreau? Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man?

Based on the visuals, it looks pretty bad ass.

Let’s take a closer looks, break things down and find the truth behind the hype.

21 PREVIEW REVIEW

WHAT’S UP GOOD MOVIE LOVERS!

Vegas has been a hot subject for TV and Movie lately. Here’s one based on a true story. Smart kids figure our a system to take a Casino for a ton of cash at Blackjack a.k.a. 21.

It’s got some hotties both male and female, but is it too cliche? Seems very formulaic. Let’s take a look at the preview and see if we can bring the H-Wood movie house down to reality.

THE WORST DVD EVER

WHAT’S UP GOOD MOVIE LOVERS!

It's been 11 years since DVDs changed the way we watch movies at home. Ever wonder what the worst DVD ever made was? Here's an exploration of that DVD - the worst DVD ever!

MARCH 15th

DOOMSDAY PREVIEW REVIEW

WHAT’S UP GOOD MOVIE LOVERS!

Neil Marshall creates a Cinematic Frankenstein made up of older better movies. He’s calling it a homage, but it looks more like cut and paste filmmaking.

Mad Max, Aliens, 28 Days Later...you’ll recognize them all here. Let’s break it down, this one needs to be drawn and quartered.

MARCH 7th

10,000 B.C. PREVIEW REVIEW

WHAT’S UP GOOD MOVIE LOVERS!

Roland Emmerich has created some huge blockbusters over the years, Independence Day, Stargate and The Day After Tomorrow.

The only problem is that his movies always focus more on effects than the characters. There hasn’t been an action/adventure prehistoric movie in a while so it’s definitely something new...but, is it good? Let’s take a look at the preview for some answers.

FEB 29th

SEMI-PRO PREVIEW REVIEW

WHAT’S UP GOOD MOVIE LOVERS!

Will Ferrell in another sports comedy? Ahhh...this formula is getting kinda tired. But then again, he manages to make us laugh regardless of the barely inspired material.

The question here is how hard will we be chuckling? It looks o-k, but let’s take a closer look to be sure.

FEB 21st

BE KIND REWIND PREVIEW REVIEW

WHAT’S UP GOOD MOVIE LOVERS!

Michel Gondry has created some amazingly original work. From Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind on the big screen, or displaying his child-like imagination on MTV helming videos.

Here’s something written AND directed by the manboy. But, will it be any good? Remember, he’s French, so while the idea is cool, there might be more philosophizing than forward story momentum. Let’s break it down.

FEB 13th

JUMPER PREVIEW REVIEW

WHAT’S UP GOOD MOVIE LOVERS!

Haven’t we seen this before? It kind of looks like Nightcrawler from X-Men 2, right? Or just take the transporter from Star Trek and add a little crack rock.

And then there’s Samuel Jackson. Does he EVER tell his agent “no”? Look out, his character has crazy colored hair, he must be bad!

But then again it is from the director of Swingers and The Bourne Identity, so it could be good, right? Maybe.

FEB 1st

RAMBO 4 PREVIEW REVIEW

WHAT’S UP GOOD MOVIE LOVERS!

Rambo is back...and old--er. Sly has no other projects going so he’s trying to bring his career back to life by tapping the old franchise well.

It’s suppose to be super bloody, violent and, well...bloody. But, is that enough?

Check out this super-mega-indepth review of not only the preview but of the ENTIRE Rambo franchise, including the cartoon! Yes, there was a cartoon.

CLOVERFIELD PREVIEW REVIEW

WHAT’S UP GOOD MOVIE LOVERS!

What’s the monster? Is this a documentary? WTF is this about?

No movie since The Blair Witch Project has taken the audiences’ imagination by storm to this degree.

Ever since the Teaser Trailer premiered during Transformers last summer we’ve been wondering what is this about? Here’s an indepth review of it all.
