MovieWeb takes a look at the soundtrack for The Lost Boys 2: The Tribe.
Firstshowing has a script review of Harold Ramis' Year One: “This movie is definitely going to be funny and it's definitely going to offend some people. Look forward to some religious extremists picketing outside the theater much like they did for Kevin Smith's Dogma. But the Biblical satire is ultimately not the point. It's a script that is clever and witty, but ultimately puts the fate of the film in the hands of the director and the performances of the actors and actresses. Since the cast they have is phenomenal, this movie looks like it could be a classic.”

damn awesome WTWA image!
June 15th, 2008 at 3:35 pm
- WTF?!?! + what a fucking joke! the movieblog lists jen garner/elektra & not ledger! the rest of the list is pretty cool, and it is a difficult topic to tackle, but we all know ledger will soon be going down in history as THE DEFINITIVE mr j, and i’ve been saying since he was first cast that he’ll get a supporting actor nod come awards season…so why the diss? any credibility they had over there just went to zero.
- lovin the wtwta picture.
- the yahoo article on the 20 best movie twists is great, but they are very wrong in their ‘twist’ on 12 monkeys: (spoiler alert) he does not fail at all, in fact he leads the future scientists directly to the man who released the virus. homework, yahoo, homework!
June 15th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
That new WTWTA pic is totally exciting to see :D
June 15th, 2008 at 5:22 pm
Sweet! frou frou on the American Teen soundtrack. I didn’t spot Beck in the futurama picture, hmmm. WTWTA pic is awesome.
June 15th, 2008 at 5:48 pm
I didnt spot half of the original cast in the Futurama picture, i saw most of the “Parabox” ones like the Robo-Fry and the bobblehead Leela, but of the normal cast i only noticed Hermies and Bender, im gonna keep looking but its tough to see….awesome picture, its now my background!!
June 15th, 2008 at 7:24 pm
Elektra ?? I’m having a wtf seizure.
Did John write another pointless colume over there, (don’t care for that site much or john).
Orange Cinema, ever wonder what happened to that plane flight at the end of 12 Monkees? I do? Only difference in the novel was that they sent one of the male scientists as insurance. Great fricken film!
Forget the Ron Moore story, there’s an even better one about FedCon 2008 that’s very amusing. Seems the Trek Fans are drying up out there. And these Convention runners are being exposed for the douche bags that they are. (Here me Creation…..?)
The only good thing about Jon Voight being in 24 is that I get to see Jack Bauer kill him at some point in some breathtaking way.
Retire you old cow. Also happy Fathers Day Jon Voight. (That’s not hate speech, just my opinion based on the fact that he places his life in the public eye). Die monster Die!!!
June 15th, 2008 at 9:22 pm
@Garko yea I can’t find Fry, the Professor, or Leela either! How the F can you forget to put in 3 of the 5 main characters?!
June 15th, 2008 at 10:08 pm
What’s up with people eating at movies anyway?! It’s not dinnertime, people.
I have no problem with drinks and the rare snack that doesn’t make a ton of noise, but I am tired of hearing a slob behind me pawing through his bag of popcorn and chewing really loudly.
June 15th, 2008 at 10:28 pm
Haha. Anonymous, I agree.
Certain people are programmed to allways eat popcorn and drink coke at movies, like its part of the magic?
They pay 7bucks for 55 cents worth of popcorn and drink tap-watered soft drinks that cost 3 bucks and then wine that it costs too much , as they shove the “food” down there fat throat and then leave all the debris for the theater workers to clean up.
A lot of people are just plain programmed…..
June 15th, 2008 at 11:28 pm
haha yeah, garner in elektra is rediculoud
and there is NO BECK in the futurama picture.
he had an entire episode about him.
and he kicks ass in general.

Sometimes PAGE 2 is the most informative and easiest reading on this blog.
June 16th, 2008 at 12:59 am
Who came up with the page 2 concept anyway? Seems like every movie site has one.
/Film and Screen Rant are the best sites (by far) out there (IMO).
June 16th, 2008 at 8:07 am
Quick someone tell me what episode the Conan O’Brien head is in on Futurama
June 16th, 2008 at 9:37 am
WTWTA looks great. I think it’s going to be an awesome flick.
I followed the link to the top ten movies that overcame bad buzz. Ghost Rider and Waterworld? Really? Those movies were horrible in every single way. From what I remember, they sucked in all aspects. I guess they made money somewhere to compensate for the bad buzz. But, man they are some horrible films. I was shocked to see them on them on the list.
June 16th, 2008 at 12:43 pm
j jonah jameson would have to be on my list…i feel like he jumped off the page and onto the screen…
June 16th, 2008 at 8:39 pm
