IO Interactive's Kane & Lynch did fairly well for Eidos back in 2007 -- despite some unfortunate controversy -- and now Square Enix is hoping to cash in on their recent purchase of Eidos with a Kane & Lynch sequel. As anyone who follows the videogame trademark scene might have suspected, the follow-up will be titled Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days . Square Enix intends on releasing Dog Days on...

I was out raking leaves the other day, and God help me if this song wasn't going through my head. It's not often that one can legitimately claim to having a Dom DeLuise song stuck in their head, but it's true. (and now our own Melvin P. Thorpe singers!) The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas was probably one of the first R-rated movies that I was allowed to watch as a kid, and it was almost certainly...

My son Grant wakes up first. Every day. Then, after feeding Freddy, he settles down onto the computer. “Dad- did you see the new Google?” He showed me Ernie & Burt on Google, and I did a search to confirm we hadn’t missed the local Jim Henson exhibit (ends Nov. 29). While telling Grant about my [...]

Making a Short Circuit remake somehow even more unappealing than that already sounds is tough. How can you make people want to see a updated version of a simultaneously idiotic and beloved Ally...

Blazing Saddles ***** So many memorable scenes and all the regulars Mel Brooks, Gene Wilder, Dom DeLuise, Madeline Kahn, and Harvey Korman. Musician Count Basie has a cameo as himself. Brooks appears in multiple supporting roles, including Governor Le Petomane and a Yiddish-speaking Indian Chief. It exposes the racism obscured by myth-making Hollywood accounts of the American West, but in a highly...

Time for your daily AOL /SlashControl fix of deliciously free movies! After Henry Fool and frightening Frogs , I'm going with my second choice for pick numero uno: The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas . Is it weird that this was one of my favorite flicks as a kid? My youthful bad taste not withstanding, I have no idea why or how I saw this flick a number of times as a youngin'. It was rated R after...

On the bad taste scale, South Park and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia vie for the top spot. Few other programs see no taboos when it comes to laughs. Case in pint? Deceased celebrities.

In shockingly shocking news, DJ AM’s death has been ruled an accidental drug overdose of prescription drugs and cocaine. The New York medical examiner’s toxicology report said that the drugs found in AM’s body included OxyContin, Hydrocodone or Vicodin, Xanax, Ativan, Klonopin, Benadryl and Levamisole. DJ AM was basically a pharmacy at the time of ...

I think our original idea behind the Classic Cameos series was to pick one memorable cameo from a movie. However, The Muppet Movie is a long string of cameos, and why should I have to highlight only one? So many people pop up throughout the 1979 film -- my favorites are James Coburn, who owns the El Sleezo nightclub; Carol Kane's very silly "Myth? Yeth?" running gag; Mel Brooks in what's...

Hey people, I’m sure that you’ve noticed the rash of celebrity deaths this summer, didn’t you? Believe it or not, it is quite a list. Some you may know, some you might not, but they were all famous.

Initially given a dismal prognosis, Swayze persevered, convincing A&E to go on shooting his series, The Beast, while he underwent chemotherapy and took an experimental drug. Alas, ...
