In the suburb of Santa Coloma de Gramenet outside the city of Barcelona, Spain, there were a number of papier-mâché statues built as a means of promoting a local theater (that’s now closed). Only a stegosaurus remains, and has bizarrely turned out to be a death trap. On March 22nd, a 39-year-old man was found deceased, inside one of the legs of the dinosaur. The man’s body was spotted by a father and son who noticed the man via a crack in the statue. Authorities were contacted and excavation of the man’s body was performed. According to Newsweek, several firefighters…

Even with Mythbusters proving you CAN polish a turd, a director’s cut will never save Zack Snyder’s “Sucker Punch,” ok?

When you think of big pop hits from the 1980s, the song “Take On Me” by a-ha is generally one of the first. With Morten Harket’s soaring vocals, the simple yet effective percussion track from Paul Waaktaar-Savoy, and intensely varied keyboards of Magne Furuholmen, the song catapulted the trio into international stardom. Over 35 years after “Take On Me” took on the world, “A-ha: The Movie” will be coming to the Tribeca Film Festival. There are a number of bands and artists labeled as “one-hit wonders” who really shouldn’t be for one reason or another. Maybe they had another charting…

A little blast from the 2008 past, but do you remember that time bodybuilders were fighting online about how many days a week has?

Though it sounds like a fairly conventional boxing game, Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!! is deceptively clever in its gameplay. Punch-Out!! is less about aggressive fighting and almost entirely about strategic countering, twitch reflexes, and to an extent, puzzle solving. This is one of the reasons why the game has endured as long as it has and still feels fun to come back to nearly 35 years after its release. (Side-note: In 1990, the licensing agreement with Mike Tyson expired, resulting in all further copies of the game in North America being branded as Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream) Game: “Mike Tyson’s Punch Out!!”Developer: NintendoPublisher: NintendoPlatform: Nintendo Entertainment SystemYear:…

Charles Grodin was one of those actors whose name will mean different things to different people. Despite his wonderfully successful and diverse career, he wasn’t really one of those actors that held a major place in popular culture. Except from when he’d pop up in a big project and remind you of just how talented he is. Sadly, on May 18th 2021, Charles Grodin passed away, leaving us to talk about the legacy he left behind. Assuming you’re in the Gen X or Millennial demographic, then you probably remember Grodin best for his performance as George Newton, the patriarch of…

Amazon has reportedly made a $9 billion dollar bid to purchase MGM Studios and their subsidiaries. This would be…promblematic.

An upcoming biopic from Ava Longoria has raised the question- who REALLY invented Flamin’ Hot Cheetos for the Frito-Lay brand?

Its been literally a decade since Joe Cornish made his directorial debut, and John Boyega his acting debut in 2011’s “Attack the Block.” The cult comedy-horror film about a South London gang and a nurse in training fighting off aliens has only become more endearing in hindsight as the actors involved have taken on new projects. Boyega would of course find his way into a galaxy, far, far away with the “Star Wars” sequel trilogy. But now he’s back with Cornish to relive the story that started it all. “Attack the Block 2” will feature the same team that made…

Kelsey Grammer will once again be taking on the role of a doctor in his latest film project. No, we’re not talking about Dr. Frasier Crane. Grammer will be taking on the role of Dr. Andre Boxer in the medical drama film “The God Committee.” Originally set to premiere at the 2020 Tribeca Film Festival, those plans were dashed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Not only will the film premiere at the 2021 festival, it’s also picked up a North American distributor for theatrical release this summer. It was announced earlier today that Vertical Entertainment picked up the rights to the…
