Battleship! The Board Game Movie For People Who Don’t Like Board Games. Or Movies.
In the world of Hollywood marketing, it is fairly common for a hit movie to inspire a board game. Such spinoffs usually result in a transparent attempt to make a quick buck (such as three different Twilight games) and every so often produce an unmitigated disaster (Parker Brothers' Monopoly: Caligula Edition).
Now in an intriguing new twist, the film industry has turned a board game into a feature length movie with the release of Battleship. Which must have made for an interesting pitch meeting...

Arizona to Cover Up Grand Canyon’s Unseemly Lady Parts
On a recent evening, after curling up with a mug of chamomile tea and Our Bodies, Ourselves, the state of Arizona gently leaned back against some comfortable pillows, spread its legs and put a mirror up to itself get in touch with its anatomy. And the state was horrified by what it saw: in its north end, a seemingly endless network of deep fissures with quivering rims.
"We were disgusted," said Republican Governor Jan Brewer. "The Grand Canyon looks like the most immodest part of the female anatomy." The state legislature, immediately proposed a law to completely cover up the canyon's ...

Finding Herbert
My cousin Fred and I meet every now and then to talk about sports and politics and our lives. Usually, it’s for lunch at a Chinese restaurant and on this day we did just that. As usual, he ordered Moo Goo Guy Pan. I don’t know what that is and I don’t want to know. I had shrimp and fried rice.
We ordered and poured some tea.
“I had a very unusual month recently,” he told me. I dropped a sweetener into my tea and sat back.
“It was about six in the morning,” he started with. “Bella and I were fast asleep ...

FILM REVIEW: Austin High
Austin High. The acting was a little over the top. The story had multiple subplots that failed to materialize. Most sets appeared to be the same room with just a different colored felt backdrop. Half of the jokes didn't work. And it was awesome.
Oh to have watched that movie totally blitzed.
When dealing with films like Half Baked, Nice Dreams, Harold & Kumar or Schindler's List, you can't worry if the script follows Robert McKee's story points to a T. This movie wasn't made for Roger Ebert or any film snob. It was made for the people it celebrates. The potheads ...
