On this episode, I go over the Oscar nominations, Marc Webb directs the “Spider-Man” reboot, and 3D porn! From there, we move on to the review of the new Jeff Bridges film “Crazy Heart” as well as trailer talk for “The Losers”, “Wall Street 2″, and “Cop Out”.

I remember seeing this movie multiple times at the theater. If I recall correctly, it was first run at the Adams Theater in downtown Detroit.
That said, this trailer does NOT reflect what the movie was like and made it sound like the music in the movie was “Minneapolis sound”-ish when the movie was about rap and hip-hop. Of course, I think the trailer was made to capitalize more on the popularity of Prince than the popularity of Run DMC. I don’t blame them for trying to go for the mainstream audience rather than the niche (and possibly faddish for the time) sound of rap.
Krush Groove contains one of the greatest scenes in all of filmdom and I am not just throwing meaningless hyperbole out there. This scene was starmaking.
I remember the entire audience asking who was that guy at the beginning and wanting to buy this guy’s cassette when it was over. Also, I love Jam Master Jay’s reaction at the intrusion.
Here is a link to a site that has a great look at the behind the scenes stuff and a lot of trivia that I didn’t know:

However, if you want to buy it, buy it from here. 
I don’t watch too many TV commercials because although I understand the need for them, I don’t see the need for ME to sit through them. I was watching FX and kept seeing a trailer for the upcoming movie ‘Funny People’. I knew nothing about it but I decided that I want to see it in the theater. I found this red band trailer while doing a search for more information. If anything, it makes me want to see it even more. And I have never seen an Adam Sandler movie at the theater.
Unfortunately, you have to put your birthdate into those really really little boxes, but as irritating as it is (and it is very irritating), it is definitely worth the hassle.
