Hey Moe! Moe 3 Stooges Are Coming!
I’m a fan of The Three Stooges. [And since you’ve asked my favorites are Curly, Shemp, Moe and Larry, in that order.] On April 4, 2012, the Farrelly brothers‘ movie which takes the Three Stooges characters into new adventures opens.
While it’s an interesting idea, I wonder if it’ll work. Do I hope it’s a success? Why, certainly. Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck.
The Lucky Ones Died in the Blast
If you like apocalyptic films [I do! I do!], then check out the trailer to The Divide. This one looks pretty intense. Count me in!
Arnold, Sly & Bruce: Expendables 2

New Night of the Living Dead Poster
I know that many of the folks who swing by here are fans of The Night of the Living Dead, so I thought it’d be a good idea for me to post a link to Grzegorz Domaradzki’s new NOTLD poster. Click over and you can buy a limited edition silk-screen of it or simply admire a larger version.
Dave Wachter Takes a Shot @ Jack Carter
Dave Wachter returns this week with his take on Sly from Get Carter. I met Dave a couple of years ago and became an instant fan. Dave is a tremendous artist, but more importantly an all-around decent guy. You can see more of Dave’s art at his site. – Craig
J. Edgar is Looking Retro-Cool
I love the retro feel to this poster for J. Edgar starring Leonardo DiCaprio and directed by Clint Eastwood. My guess is the movie will be even better.

Hanging with Tom Cruise
Although this poster isn’t the greatest I’ve ever seen, I am looking forward to seeing the latest Mission Impossible sequel.
Evan Bryce Knows the Cure
Today we have the return of Evan Bryce and his riff on Sly as Cobra. I’ve been a fan of Evan’s art for a few years now and we’ve become friends via the internet. We’d met just once at Heroes Con in 2009 and I got a cool Sly from The Expendables sketch.
Evan didn’t make it back to Heroes in 2010 and he wasn’t supposed to be there this year. However he surprised everyone and made the trip. I asked for a Stallone character sketch of his choice and he went with Cobra and threw in the car and cityscape background as a bonus.
Evan is an exciting artist and one to keep an eye on. You can see more of his work at his blog or his Deviant Art site. Plan to spend a while.
100 All Time Best Comedies
Recently TimeOut.com posted their choices for the 100 Best Comedies of All Time. Using just their list, here is my top ten…
- Airplane: The only other movie that made me laugh so hard was Richard Pryor Live… and why didn’t it make the 100 Best list?
- Blazing Saddles: At the time it was one of the craziest movies I had ever seen. Mel Brooks‘ masterpiece.
- Dr. Strangelove: One of my favorite movies. It’s not an all-out laugh fest like the first two because of the subject matter. A masterpiece.
- Arsenic and Old Lace: My favorite Cary Grant movie. I can watch this one anytime.
- Planes, Trains and Automobiles: I was surprised at how good this movie was. A comedy with heart and real LOLs.
- National Lampoon’s Vacation: Probably gets bonus points because I have so many fond memories of watching it with my ex-brother in law. I actually like Christmas Vacation better, but it didn’t make the list!
- Raising Arizona: Nick Cage’s funniest intentionally funny movie.
- The Pink Panther Strikes Again: I saw it in a theater back in high school and although it’s not as funny as I remembered it to be, my memories of it are good enough to get it into the top ten.
- The Princess Bride: A classic fairy tale that happens to be pretty dog-gone funny.
Tom Selleck’s Mustache
Sometimes silly is funny.
With that in mind I give you, Richard Sandling’s perfect movie: Tom Selleck’s Mustache.
