4 December 2009 12:30 PM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Editor's Note: We hope you enjoy this new Friday afternoon column, Junkfood Cinema, by Brian Salisbury. It celebrates movies that are so bad, even though they are also sometimes so good. For more (coming each and every Friday), stay tuned to the Junkfood Cinema Archive. Also, please feel free to let us know what you think of this new weekly feature in the comment section below. Uh oh! Hide the carrot sticks and fruit wedges of Hollywood, because it's once again time to gorge ourselves on Junkfood Cinema. If you're the kind of person that demands the highest level of quality from your films, then I can happily direct you to any number of our other columns. For me, there is nothing like the empty cinematic calories of a deliciously bad movie. And this week's entry is a caramel-covered, chocolate-filled schlock burger...wrapped in a Chicago-style deep-dish pizza. Run, don't walk to your local video store and »

Gary Busey named Hollywood's unsexiest man
1 December 2009 8:02 AM, PST | Boxwish.com | See recent BoxWish news »
We know that Johnny Depp is the world’s sexiest man according to People magazine, but how to rate Tinseltown’s (how shall we say?) less attractive male specimens? Seems like it’s not a problem that film site, Moviefone struggles with as they’ve assembled a top ten list of the least desirable leading men in Hollywood. And coming out on top (or should that be the bottom?) is Lethal Weapon actor, Gary Busey. The site argues: “He’s fascinating, he’s outrageous and he has gigantic teeth. What woman could resist the mystery wrapped within an enigma that is Busey? To coin one of his Busey-isms, let’s just say that we are Not Hot (Not One That He Overly Titillates) for Gary.” Eek, sorry Gary – we don’t make the rules!

Gary Busey has just nabbed the most unflattering title in Hollywood. The "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" star has been named the Unsexiest Man Alive in tinsel town.
Moviefone editors have compiled the list of actors who doesn't make women squeal with delight a la Johnny Depp, People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive of 2009.

Book Review: Robert Englund Hollywood Monster
25 November 2009 9:00 PM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
After I watched 29 horror films and wrote my Halloween articles on Freddy Krueger, Jason Vorhees and Michael Myers for the site, I found a new love for the horror genre and the characters it created and one of those characters recently came knocking on my door, or the postman did, to deliver a review copy of ‘Hollywood Monster: A Walk Down Elm Street with the Man of Your Dreams’, the autobiography of Freddy Krueger’s character creator Robert Englund, and I was thrilled.
Not only did I get the book to review I was also lucky to meet Robert Englund himself as he was in London for a signing at Waterstones in Piccadilly Circus and it pretty much made my day after being so heavily immersed in his movies for Halloween and he was a genuine down to earth movie star and an absolute legend.

The final 'Twilight Saga' film hasn't been green-lit just yet, but that doesn't mean we haven't been keeping an eye on it.

Typically, when we do one of our MTV cheat sheets, it's a compilation of all the info you need to know before you go see that movie opening weekend. Sometimes, we'll even stretch things a bit and give you the 411 on a blockbuster film coming along months from now. But if there's one film worth a reworking of the rules, it's "Breaking Dawn."
Technically, the fourth "Twilight" film remains hypothetical at best. But that hasn't stopped the fans from wanting it, the series stars from talking about it, or the behind-the-scenes machinations from providing a story as compelling as Stephenie Meyer's controversial final novel. So, on the heels of the massive "New Moon" opening, »

Buddy Holly documentary

It seems like Buddy Holly is indeed alive and well, in more ways than one (maybe even more than Gary Busey these days). A little while ago, we wrote about the new Jon Heder flick that is in production titled Alive And Well based on Bradley Denton.s excellent sci-fi adventure novel Buddy Holly is Alive and Well on Ganymede. We.d also like to update you on a documentary chronicling Holly.s last tour (The Winter Dance Party tour) in 1959, where he tragically died... »

Teaser Trailer for Sandler’s Grown Ups
15 November 2009 3:04 PM, PST | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
Columbia Pictures has released a teaser trailer for Grown Ups, a comedy (?) starring Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Kevin James, David Spade, and Rob Schneider, who gets more lines this time. Also appearing are Salma Hayek, Steve Buscemi, Gary Busey, and Maria Bello.
It’s a wholly unfunny video that leaves you wondering what decade this is and wishing Chris Farley was still around. But hey, maybe people are dying for movies where Sandler is remarkably less funny than he was a decade ago or David Spade tries the same shtick. I’m glad Happy Madison Productions put together a little reunion of friends, but will it be any fun for the rest of us?
Here’s a synopsis followed by the trailer from Yahoo:
Five friends and former teammates reunite years later to honor the passing of their childhood basketball coach. With their wives and kids in tow, they spend »

Adam Sandler’s ‘Grown Ups’ Gets A Trailer
13 November 2009 1:15 PM, PST | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »
Adam Sandler and his ‘Happy Madison’ production company have been on a steady roll since the mid 1990s and their string of films starring Sandler himself. As of late, the company has been known for smaller, yet equally humorous, films such as Grandma’s Boy and the Deuce Bigelow franchise.
Now, the team is reuniting with Sandler’s cast of regulars and newest on-screen partner Kevin James for a brand new comedy called Grown Ups. The film is about a group of five boys who grow apart over the years and finally come together to reconnect and find their childhood once again. I like to call this one something like The Sand Lot: 30 Years Later.
Sandler takes the lead in this one, in his first comedy role since this year’s Funny People, with a familiar cast of characters joining him. David Spade, Rob Schneider, Chris Rock, and Kevin James »

Universal Pictures has finally released the first trailer for Leap Year, a movie I have been waiting for awhile and its a romantic comedy about a woman who has an elaborate scheme to propose to her boyfriend on Leap Day. I really like the director Anand Tucker, he did a great film called Shopgirl not to mention Simon Beaufoy, Slumdog Millionaire scribe, wrote the script. Oh yeah if you wonder why I have been waiting to see this movie look no more further than Amy Adams. i think she is great and will see anything she is in.
In Leap Year, Adams plays an uptight woman who travels to Dublin to propose to her boyfriend on leap day, Feb. 29, following an Irish tradition in which women propose to men on that day and the man has to say yes. When weather derails her trip, she enlists the help of a »

The film stars Chris Rock, Kevin James, David Spade, Rob Schneider, Salma Hayek, Steve Buscemi, Maria Bello, Gary Busey and David Spade, and is directed by Dennid Dugan, the filmmaker behind of some of Sandler's earlier films like Happy Gilmore and Big Daddy, but who recently has been responsible for some comic clunkers like I Now Pronouce You Chuck & Larry, and You Don't Mess with the Zohan.

It’s time to dust off your badge, ready your best Jack Lord, “Book ‘em, Dano,” impression and start humming the infamous theme song as criminals of Hawaii now have more to fear than Dog: The Bounty Hunter, as CBS has announced that it’s bringing back the second-longest-running criminal drama, Hawaii Five-o.
Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, who brought us Fringe and Star Trek, along with CSI: NY executive producer Peter Lenkov will produce the show for CBS Television Studios with CBS committing to a pilot after hearing a pitch from Kurtzman, Orci and Lenkov last Thursday.
Fans of Fringe need not worry that their favorite science fiction show will go the way of Alias and Lost when J.J Abrams found new projects to focus his attention (Lost has since recovered) as Lenkov will be penning the script with Kurtzman and Orci supervising. Should the show be picked up, »

Kurtzman and Orci Board Hawaii Five-o Remake
9 October 2009 8:58 AM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
From Transformers, Star Trek and Fringe to... Hawaii Five-o? Sure, why not! It was confirmed this week that writers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci will not be returning to help write Transformers 3 for Michael Bay. Instead, it appears that they will be turning their attention to a remake of the classic '70s cop series Hawaii Five-o for CBS. Sounds like they're trading up to me. Variety [1] reports that Kurtzman and Orci will oversee the scripting of the pilot by Peter Lenkov, who also executive produces CSI: NY and previously wrote screenplays for such films as Demolition Man and Son in Law. If the show gets picked up, Lenkov would serve as the series showrunner. Another Hawaii Five-o remake was first announced last year with Ed Bernero (Criminal Minds) on board as the writer. At the time, it was hinted that the new show would revolve around Chris McGarrett, »
