Honestly I’m not quite sure how I arrived at this article but it’s certainly a bit random.  However, have you ever looked at a picture of clip from a movie and all of a sudden a quote from a different movie pops into your head?

I originally wanted to do some article based on funny faces from Karate movies.  But then I realized that any fighting scene from any movie has a funny face.  However as I perused these pictures, movie quotes popped into my head.

Now granted I wrote down the first thing that came to me so some of these might be a bit random.  Though some of them are quite appropriate if you put two and two together.

Curious to hear your thoughts on these guys

As the newest installment of Harry Potter is set to be released in theaters around the world, the stars of the movie gathered up for the premiere in the UK yesterday.

And while I’m pretty psyched to see the film, it’s pretty amazing to see how all of these kids grew up before our eyes.   It must be nice knowing you are part of a franchise worth over a billion dollars that has lasted over 10 years.

Something tells me that most of the kids won’t amount to much when all is said and done, but there’s one gal who will surely bless all of us with her presence even when the Potter franchise lays to rest:  Emma Watson.

Yes, it’s legal for all of us to say how hot she is now.  Hell we were saying it about 3 years ago.  Man has this girl blossomed huh?   Emma, sex scenes win Oscars.  I’m just saying….

Potter!

Just the other day I was watching Usual Suspects and not only was that an amazing movie but it brought up an element in movies that’s rarely used:  the use of broken language as a means to humor.  Let me rephrase that.  The use of words that you can’t understand as a means to humor.

Granted plenty of movies are filled with accents that are supposed to make you laugh.  But rarely are we encountered with a movie where the whole point of humor is for you to NOT understand what a character is saying (even though you kind of are).

So have I confused you enough?  I hope so.  Here are some funny moments in movies where you can barely understand people

If someone were to ever write a book or article that tried to explain the 80s in depth, there would have to be an entire chapter or section devoted to John Hughes.  I just don’t think it’s even possible to leave the guy out.

If there’s anyone who understood high school life and told the story of teenagers in that time period it was certainly Hughes.  And not only just teenagers, life in general.  The guy just had a penchant for culture in that time period.

After 1990?  Well that’s a different subject.  You’ve got Curly Sue, Home Alone and then Hughes just lost it (although Dutch was awesome). Drillbit Taylor?  In any event, let’s not veer from the true subject which is his 80s genius.

Here are my top ten Hughes written movies

If there’s one thing I’m 100% ashamed of in this world, it’s having seen 10 minutes of the movie Sex and the City.  What pains me even more is that I had to endure 10 seconds of Cynthia Nixon being taken from behind by a dude in classes.  It’s a vision that still gives me nightmares, and will probably haunt me for the rest of my life.

One thing I also noticed is that as I was watching this movie, every ounce of masculinity was being taken from me.  It’s like I wanted to paint my nails and go shopping.  I was scared, alone, and destitute.  But I quickly turned on some porn and life returned to normal.

However, if you ever want to go limp or better yet, watch your penis shrivel before your eyes, you might want to check out these 10 flicks.

A good fight scene is not something that is easy to do.  You have to get the dubbing to be perfect.  You need athletic actors.  You need excellent choreography and you need a solid director.

So it’s one thing when you have all these ingredients.  It’s another when you think you have all these things and yet absolutely none of them are working out well.

What do you get?  You get scenes that are supposed to be amazing but wind up being incredibly unintentionally funny.

Check out these pathetic but hilarious fight scenes.

I consider Boogie Nights to be one of my favorite movies.  It doesn’t mean that I’ve seen it 100 times, nor would I necessarily want to.  But I have to admit that from beginning to end, this movie simply rules.   Honestly there isn’t one moment in this film that isn’t worth watching.  And considering it’s well over 2 hours, that’s pretty impressive.

Also, for a movie that’s got such great drama,  you know because of the porn that it’s automatically geared up to be hilarious.  And whether it’s intentional or not (clearly I think it is) it doesn’t matter.  The comedy in this movie is simply amazing.

If had to pick great comedic moments from the film, here are 6 worth sharing.

Ever since I saw the Mary Poppins horror trailer I’ve always been on the lookout for awesome re-cut trailers.   While I’m not sure any will match that one, or the comedy one for The Shining, there have been some great mashups out there.  You gotta love when Brokeback Mountain came out and there were dozens of Brokeback re-cuts.

And for some reason I’ve been in an 80s comedy movie kind of mood lately.  With that said I thought I’d poke around Youtube to see if there were any comedy trailers turned non-comedy that would be worth sharing.

Turns out there were 10.   Most of them are horror with a couple of action thrown in.  I hope you enjoy.

P.S.  I think The Christmas Story  and Pee Wee’s Big Adventure trailers are amazing.

I decided to take an article out of the archives just in case any of you may have missed it in the past.   I’ve added some minor changes. 

Sometimes songs just seem to fit a movie. For example, it’s obvious that one would use the song “Singing in the Rain” in a movie where the guy is actually singing and it’s actually raining.

However, some movies play a song and you think to yourself, “Dude, what the hell is going on here?” and you just can’t fathom why the song has been used. However, after thinking about it you realize how disturbing, yet indescribably appropriate the use of that song was.

Here are my picks (in no particular order) for the 10 most out of place songs that work really well in movies
