Gotta say, BiGDOG is touched by the huge outpouring of support. I haven't been blogging much due to my ulcer, but I'M BACK. I'm back everywhere, baby! All those ninnies attempting to sit on my free speech rights have been put in their place. You can't put truth in the doghouse!

At first I wasn’t against a 4th Beverly Hills Cop movie but now with Brett Ratner’s involvment and his ability to ruin franchises, it needs to stop but we know it won’t. Since he was announced as director to this sequel the internet in unity said all at once “this movie will suck” and that now has been confirmed by the LatinoReview who somehow get their hands on scripts. It’s being called Beverly Hills...

Eddie Murphy is an enigma. It would seem that he had turned a corner dramatically with a powerful and Academy Award-nominated turn in Dreamgirls. After years of crap sequels, uninspired action-comedy pictures (like Showtime or I Spy), and high-profile, big-budget atrocities (like The Adventures of Pluto Nash) it ...

LatinoReview has gotten a look at Michael Brandt and Derek Haas‘ screenplay for Brett Ratner’s “Beverly Hills Cop 2009“. Yes, even the title has a Ratner-level of annoyance. So what’s it about? Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) is killed from a fall out of the 20th story of the Los Angeles Police Headquarters, but Axel (Eddie Murphy) refuses to believe it was a suicide. He is teamed up with a fat rookie...

Whatever, Jonah . That shit is great, but "gold standard"? Nopes. Plus, everyone knows that Judge Reinhold's finest role was Honorable Judge Reinhold in the secretly awesome Clerks animated series: And also, to the commenters who brought up 1976's original Freaky Friday , that's my personal favorite too. I linked to it in my original post , but in case you missed it: BARBARA HARRIS 4 EVER . And whether...

I'm sorry, but it has to be said: Big is sooooo NOT the gold standard for movies in which a child is trapped in an adult's body. That honor belongs to the brilliant Judge Reinhold/Fred Savage extravaganza (Savageaganza?), Vice Versa:

In the grand tradition of Tom Hanks, Judge Reinhold, and Jennifer Garner, Matthew Perry is now aging in reverse onscreen in the comedy 17 AGAIN, only this time, his teenage counterpart is HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3 teen dreamboat Zac Efron, so it's a safe bet the tweens will be flocking to this film like moths to a barechested flame. In it, Perry is granted the opportunity to be 17 again as Efron and with...

While surfing around at 9 p.m. wondering what to do until the arrival of the latest “Mad Men” (created and overseen by former “Sopranos” writer Matthew Wiener), consider having a gander at The CW’s “Easy Money” (created and overseen by former “Sopranos” writers Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider). I believe it may be my second-favorite new fall pilot and, come to think of it, the best pilot I’ve seen...

With Cheech and Chong rolling into town for two Saturday night shows, we thought you might like to get in the right frame of mind. There's no denying that altered states are what first spring to mind when talking about the stars of the seminal stoner film "Up in Smoke," so we decided to peek through the fog at some of the all-time great cannabis-influenced comedies:
