5 Movies That Never Should Have Had Sequels [VIDEO]

Rick Andrews — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 17:30:40 +0000

I was channel surfing last night and landed on Arnold Schwarzenegger's movie 'Predator.' It wasn't one of my favorite AH-Nold movies, but all-in-all, it was a decent flick. But that got me thinking about some movies that I thought were great and then how Hollywood had to go 'back to the well' and start cranking out sequels. Not all sequels are bad, but as the numbers got bigger, the plots got smaller.

Kathy Landin — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 05:59:03 +0000

After a rather entertaining open to the 2013 Oscars, host Seth MacFarlane clearly didn’t want it to end with just the hurried list of sponsors and the usual “let’s get to your local news as quickly as possible even though we just sucked 4 hours of your life away” attitude of the closing.

How do we know that? Because he made sure there was a really awesome closing song.

Dedicated to the evening’s losers.

Michelle Obama and Jack Nicholson, who, aside from their awesomeness couldn't be more different, announced the winner for Best Picture at the 2013 Oscars -- and it was none other than 'Argo.'

And though he could have, Ben Affleck didn't rub anyone's nose in it. He's a much better person than we are.

2013 Oscars – Ang Lee Wins Best Director for 'Life of Pi' [VIDEO]

Kathy Landin — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 05:16:59 +0000

Because it’s always fun to award the Oscar for Best Achievement in Directing to a director for whom English is a second language — will we ever forget ‘Life Is Beautiful’ and Roberto Benigni? — the Academy chose Ang Lee. Although Michael Haneke for ‘Amour’ was probably a close second. Ang Lee is not a [...]

2013 Oscars – Anne Hathaway Wins Best Supporting Actress + Doesn't Bother Acting Surprised [VIDEO]

Kathy Landin — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 04:00:22 +0000

As even our pet rocks predicted, Anne Hathaway won the Oscar for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role for her portrayal of Fantine in ‘Les Miserables.’

It’s okay when they give Dame Judi Dench an Oscar for barely appearing in a film -- look up ‘Shakespeare In Love’ -- but she’s a Dame. We aren't sure it's cool if the actress hasn't been recognized by the Queen.

For her role, Anne Hathaway cut off her hair and cried while she sang and then she was done. It’s possible the Academy – while not surprising us at all – may have disappointed us just a bit.
