The Dude’s High 5s: Top 5 Dystopian Societies [MOVIES]
Happy 4th of July everyone. Today we Americans get to celebrate the birth of our country by eating too much, drinking copious amounts of booze, and then when we’re just about to pass out, play with explosives. Take that Belarus! In your face Mongolia! Catch you on the flip side Latveria! Since we all love freedom so much, let’s take this opportunity to actually recognize what we have. This week’s High 5 will take a look at what the world would look like with either too much control, or not enough control. There are some movies that tackle the subject quite well. So let’s hear it for the dystopias!
The Amazing Spider-Man – Is So Amazing the Tobey Aftertaste Is Almost Gone
[As always, spoiler-free and barebones on plot description. If you want the third act twists spelled out for you, please visit Roger Ebert’s site.]
But seriously: this film is worth admission alone because this time, they hired a fucking casting director. Gone is the triumvirate of shit that Tobey, Kirsten and Franco brought to the table.
Director Marc Webb gone and killed it. You will fall in love with Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone in this film. They’re just glowing with chemistry and love and presence. Garfield takes a half hour or so to get there, but Stone is just a magnet for attention in every scene, and never in a presumptuous or overbearing way. They work, and they work very well as the leads in this re-take on Spider-Man’s origin.

Have you gotten over the reports that The Hobbit looks like a tunnel of dog dick in 48fps? If so, mow on some of these new pictures from Peter “No serious I can do something good besides LOTR okay maybe not” Jackson’s return to Middle Erf.
NEW ‘LOOPER’ TRAILER: Bullets and Paradoxes For The Win
How good is this new trailer for Looper? It uses dubstep, and I don’t hate it. I’m serious.
‘THE DARK KNIGHT RISES’ MTV FOOTAGE Finally Officially Online. Cyeah.
The blood-filled-dong-inducing Dark Knight Rises trailer that dropped at the MTV Movie Awards is finally online in an official capacity. Jesus Lord, it’s getting close. I can barely handle it.
‘THE MAN WITH THE IRON FISTS’ RED BAND TRAILER: 1,000% Absurdist Fun
It takes a very particular mindset to get behind this sort of trailer. I just so happen to possess that mindset, eagerly ready to engage in violence and sex with uncomfortable aplomb.
NEW ‘DARK KNIGHT RISES’ TV SPOT: The Bat and Cat Have Witty Banter
Oh gosh I’m totally sold on Wayne and Kyle kicking ass together. It’s just a combination of hope and projection, but everything they’ve shown with the two has the chemistry (and my groin) throbbing.
Zoe Aggeliki Totally In Talks To Play JOHANNA MASON In ‘CATCHING FIRE’.
Zoe Aggeliki may be an unknown quantity to people like me, but if this casting goes through she is about to go boom. That’s the sound of her blowing up. Yeah, groan, I know.
