‘Dirty Dancing’ in Sixty Seconds, As Portrayed By Germans

Yesterday I posted a brilliant sixty-second version of Inception that was part of a competition to recreate movies in exactly one minute. Here is another submission to the contest, and it’s just as amusing in a totally different way.

Rachel Zoe Gives B-Side Blog Exclusive Story Behind Anne Hathaway’s Oscar Looks

Last night’s telecast of the Oscars was one of the dullest in years, thanks in part to lackluster nominations, predictable wins, and lame comedy bits. Just about the only thing noteworthy was hostess Anne Hathaway’s perpetually changing wardrobe, which consisted of eight looks overall. I couldn’t help think about the toll this must have put …

First Photo of Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher Emerges, Is Awesome

“I can be ANYONE.” No, the picture above is not Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher. It’s just a pic from her youth. But if you want to see Meryl as the former British Prime Minister (as part of her role in The Irony Lady), check out the photo after the jump. It’s pretty amazing. Get …

Cool Video Explains Visual Effects in ‘Black Swan’

Behind-the-scenes stuff is always super fun when it comes to special effects, and Black Swan is no exception. Check out the above video to see how the filmmakers used CGI to help shape the movie. As Miley Cyrus would say, “that’s pretty cool.” Warning: the video contains some SPOILERS (as well as a brief retread …

And Now A Rattled Filmgoer Rants Against Sundance Movie

I’ve never been to Sundance, but from what I’ve been told, it has this magical effect on filmgoers wherein they dole out standing ovations for movies that are merely just mediocre. I suppose it’s the higher altitude or maybe just the latent ganja in the air that comes from hundreds of Hollywood types descending on …

AND THE OSCAR GOES TO: Survivor’s Fabio Stars in Homoerotic Thriller

A lot of reality stars advance to sex tapes and porn after their initial runs are over, but I’m proud to report that Fabio (née Judd) from Survivor: Nicaragua is moving on to something a bit more artistic: a much sought-after role in a low-budget homoerotic thriller. The film’s title is 1313: Nighmare Mansion, which …

‘The Roommate’ Proves To Be Darkest Episode of ‘Gossip Girl’ Yet

I’m not so into scary movies (read: I’m a pussy), but I might have to make an exception for this flick because a) it doesn’t look scary, and b) it’s Single White Female with BLAIR WALDORF. If ever there was a winning Hollywood pitch, it’s that. Let’s face it: for years Blair has threatened to …

‘Black Swan’ Rocked My World

Last weekend I went to a screening of Black Swan with my dear friend Sly, and I gotta admit that I kind of loved the film. The whole movie was an amazing mess: borderline campy, intensely freaky, frequently disgusting, and 100% overwhelming. Its symbolism was obvious, and its scares sometimes manipulative, but by the end, …

BURIED: This Looks Like The Worst Thing Ever

I’d heard about Ryan Reynolds’ claustrophobic new thriller Buried and was rather put-off by it all, but now that I see the actual trailer, I can say that it truly looks horrifying. It’s pretty self-explanatory: Reynolds’ plays a man buried alive with ninety seconds minutes of oxygen, a lighter, and basically no way to get …
