Top 7 Movies That Make The End of the World Sound Hilarious
13 November 2009 2:18 PM, PST | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
We start the Top 7. You finish the Top 10.
Somehow, the end of the world has become a form of entertainment. Instead of being scared out of our wits of apocalyptic thoughts, we enjoy plunking down $10 to watch them become realized by big budget blockbusters. Hollywood serves it up, however: whole cities are destroyed, hundreds of thousands of people die, the fate of mankind is brought into question, and sometimes, Randy Quaid becomes our savior.
Which brings us to a certain theme that has been continued through a legacy of doomsday movies – they’re funny as hell. More unintentional than not, these movies are loaded with goofy movie milestones that make the blockbusters seem like gargantuan scaled jokes, with their characters, dialogue, and special moments serving as a type of punch line. Many disaster movies seem to be plagued by an air of idiocy that moves from one big budget movie to the next, »

Blu-Ray Review: ‘National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation Ultimate Collector’s Edition’
10 November 2009 9:10 AM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Does the fact that “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” is receiving a lavish 20th anniversary edition Blu-Ray release make anyone else feel old? Just me? Whether you’re old enough to remember the first “Vacation” or young enough to know Chevy Chase as “that old guy on Community,” this is a lavish collector’s set for a great holiday film timed for holiday shopping.
Blu-Ray Rating: 3.5/5.0
Warner Home Video has begun an interesting trend of making Blu-Ray sets for their most beloved films that almost feel more about the collectibles than the movie itself. In some cases (“Blade Runner: The Final Cut,” “The Wizard of Oz: 70th Anniversary Edition”), the disc itself includes enough bonus material and a lovingly remastered picture that the collectibles appropriately feel like a companion instead of the main draw. Such is not the case with the set for “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, »

Inside Story: Randy Quaid's Journey from Actor to Alleged Felon
8 November 2009 10:50 AM, PST | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »
A towering Texan with an easy smile and some 68 movies under his belt, Randy Quaid has been known over the years as an affable character actor. On the Austin, Texas, set of his most recent film, Balls Out: The Gary Houseman Story, Quaid charmed his castmates. "He's a really nice guy and insanely funny," says actor Allen Evangelista, who recalls how Quaid spent his downtime tossing tennis balls to his costars. "Everyone was just trying not to laugh when he would improvise. He's really down to earth … just a cool guy to work with." That image is a far cry »

Love it or hate it, there’s no denying Independence Day was a big movie, with a place in cinematic history. Roland Emmerich has been the prince of diminishing returns since, but remains the current king of the global disaster movie. With next week’s 2012, he’s hoping to get his career back on track.
10,000 BC was universally panned, so he has decided to go back to what he does best. Namely, destroying contemporary landmarks, and killing a large percentage of the population. Emmerich loves himself a budget, and epic scale CGI, and judging from the trailer, he has used both liberally. There have been plenty of pre-release clips to encourage the hype. You can see a five minute clip in full HD here, some additional clips here, and some behind the scenes footage here.
As usual, however, there is a human story to be told. In this case, it »

Quaids Post Bond
6 November 2009 8:11 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Kingpin star Randy Quaid and his wife Evi have finally posted bond after missing four court dates stemming from an unpaid hotel bill.
The Quaids failed to appear in court four times to face felony charges relating to an unsettled $10,000 (£6,250) bill from the luxury San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, California.
The couple posted bail of $20,000 (£12,500) each after they were arrested in September in Marfa, Texas - and now they've finally paid the same amount in California.
Santa Barbara Senior Deputy District Attorney Lee Carter confirms to People.com, "They have posted bond."
As a result, an arrest warrant for the couple has been dropped and the District Attorney will halt attempts to extradite the pair from their native Texas to California.
The couple is due to be arraigned on charges of burglary, defrauding an innkeeper and conspiracy on 15 December. »

Randy and Evi Quaid Wanted in All the Wrong Ways

Randy Quaid's going to be spending his Christmas vacation in the clink if he isn't careful. The Santa Barbara District Attorney's Office is drawing up the paperwork to have Quaid and his wife, Evi, extradited from Texas, where the duo opted to remain rather than show up for a court hearing today in their unpaid bill case. "The Da's office will be seeking extradition of the Quaids," spokesman Lee Carter tells E! News. "That process will take at least two to three weeks. I started to prepare the extradition paperwork when they did not appear last week." What foresight! The Quaids had the chance to save a tree or two by appearing in court either last Monday or today,... »
Quaids Face Extradition To California Over Fraud Charges
26 October 2009 2:56 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Actor Randy Quaid and his wife Evi are facing extradition to California to face felony charges of fraud after failing to show up to court on for a second time on Monday.
The Quaids were expected in a Santa Barbara court, where they were facing three charges of allegedly burglarising and defrauding the owner of the luxury San Ysidro Ranch after checking out without paying $10,000 (£6,600) hotel bill last month.
The pair was arrested in their home state of Texas, and later posted $20,000 (£13,300) bail. They were ordered to return to court on 19 October, but they rang the District Attorney's office to cancel the appearance just three days before.
The date of the hearing was then changed to Monday, but once again the couple failed to show - so the Santa Barbara District Attorney's office has decided to file extradition papers to ensure the couple returns to California for a new court hearing.
According to TMZ.com, the actor and his wife will be re-arrested in Texas and returned to California. »

After missing a court date in Santa Barbara last week, Randy Quaid and his wife, Evi, indicated through their attorney that they'd be in court Monday afternoon to be arraigned on felony charges.

Quaids Fail To Show Up To Court
19 October 2009 6:36 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Actor Randy Quaid and his wife Evi failed to show up in court on Monday to face felony charges of failing to pay a $10,000 (£6,600) hotel bill.
The couple was taken into custody in Marfa, Texas last month after a California judge issued an arrest warrant, citing the outstanding bill from the luxury San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara.
The Quaids were released after each posting $20,000 (£13,300) bail and they are now facing three felony charges of allegedly burglarising and defrauding the hotel owner.
Their lawyer claims they had intended to settle the bill after leaving the resort but it got lost in the post when they moved house.
The bill has now reportedly been paid in full, but charges against the couple have not been dropped. They were due to appear in court on 19 October, but they rang the District Attorney's office on Friday to cancel the appearance.
The Quaids' attorney, Ken Johnson, said the pair "just couldn't make it Monday - that it was too soon."
A court appearance has been scheduled for next Monday, Carter says, "I have begun the very lengthy process of preparing the extradition paperwork for the Quaids." »
10 Most Underrated Young Actors
12 October 2009 7:54 PM, PDT | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »
Cinema is filled with multi-talented young actors who bring to life all types of characters. Sometimes, a role is given to the wrong guy - just because he has the looks (pin-up pretty, looks awesome wearing trunks) and the connection (a powerful talent agent at his side). But when the role is given to the right guy - moviegoers get to witness something unique, memorable and powerful, even magical. Anyway, even the 'right guy' needs an agent, of course...

- - - Underrated versus Overrated: If you've watched Jumper, then you'll notice the difference between Jamie Bell and Hayden Christensen - Bell has undeniable screen presence, I can't say the same with Hayden. It could have been different if Tom Sturridge was retained to play Hayden's part. Anyway, who am I to argue? Christensen has more box office appeal than the relatively unknown Sturridge, but acting-wise?
