What If Critics Ranked Ice Cube’s Best Movies (+vids)

Best-reviewed work of Ice Cube

…Trespass rocks and where the hell is XxX 2:State of the Union?!! Watching that tubby b1tch jump from the roof of a prison onto the leg of a waiting helicopter. Totally believable. Ice Cube jumping a speedboat onto a van on a bridge then walking away in slo-mo without even flinching while the whole freakin’ bridge explodes behind him. Plausible. Ice Cube and his homies rolling into DC to take out elite special forces who look like C.O.B.R.A. No problem. Then driving a sports car down the railroad tracks chasing a bullet train at 160 mph with a full blown green screen. Comedy gold. This list loses all credibility with the exclusion of State of the Union.
And why does Ice Cube look like he’s constipated in every movie? Get that OG some laxatives….

Original Return of the Jedi Ending Didn’t Include Ewok Party

Far be it from me to argue with the business acumen of George Lucas - after all, the filmmaker and current scourge of the geek universe was smart enough to include merchandising rights in his original deal for Star Wars - but did he really ruin what would have been a killer ending to Return of the Jedi because of toy sales?

…Han Solo in the early part of the story and that he would then die in the middle part of the film in a raid on an Imperial base. George then decided he didn t want any of the principals killed. By that time there were really big toy sales and that was a reason.

The discussed ending of the film that Kurtz favored presented the rebel forces in tatters, Leia grappling with her new duties as queen and Luke walking off alone like Clint Eastwood in the spaghetti westerns, as Kurtz put it.

Other than the fact that under no circumstances could anyone ever compare the acting stylings of Mark Hamill to Clint Eastwood s Man with No Name, this sounds positively awesome. So naturally it didn t happen. But hey, those Ewoks were pretty cute. Don t act like you didn t have an Ewok doll when you were growing up. Just me?

10 Most Obvious Hollywood Rip-Offs

It’s one thing to rely solely on sequels and reboots to bolster an industry in the midst of a creative dry spell so severe it makes the years before cave paintings seem like the Renaissance, but it’s another to admit defeat so soundly that you half-assedly send blatant knock-offs into theaters and hope no one will notice.

…s 50s and 60s car culture. Hollywood Knights was clearly made by someone who saw American Graffiti and felt it needed more boobs, penis jokes, and farts. And Tony Danza. 3. The Monster SquadRips Off: The GooniesA pack of aimless kids (one a smarty pants, one a wise ass, one fat, etc) with a specific obsession (pirates/monsters) find they have to face their obsession head-on in order to save their lives and their hometown.

Movie Poster for Joaquin Phoenix’s "I’m Still Here" Released

With this single headshot of the film’s bearded star looking as dazed and confused as ever, Magnolia Pictures has probably gotten to the core of this faux-documentary better than any bodily function could.

…For a film shoot that was loaded with enough sordid conduct to sustain two sexual harassment lawsuits, you would be right to think the poster for I m Still Here might feature some crazed lunacy. Or at least a picture of Joaquin Phoenix getting crapped on. Alas, that isn t the case. But with a single headshot of the film s bearded star looking as dazed and confused as ever, Magnolia Pictures has probably gotten to the core of this faux-documentary better than any bodily function could.

5 Foreign Film Remake Failures

Sometimes a considerable amount of the movie will be changed for the better, other times it will look like some exec just ran the original script through a translator, but as a general rule, American remakes tend to be inferior.

…Five Failed American Remakes Of Foreign FilmsBeing a film nerd, I think the strangest bit of culture shock I went through in college was when a professor was about to show the class Cinema Paradiso. Before pressing play she asked how many people had ever seen a movie with subtitles before. I was stunned. First, that such a question could be asked of a class of college students, and then once more when I looked around and saw that, out of forty or so people, only about four of us raised our hands.That was years ago, but I always look to that moment when I hear someone say,…

12 Movies That Should of Been Directed by Christopher Nolan

A list of 12 somewhat decent yet ultimately flawed, alternate reality inspired films we would have loved to see Christopher Nolan direct – and hopefully improve.

…, played by Craig Bierko, becomes the primary suspect and treks into the simulation to try and prove his innocence. There are a lot of solid ideas at work here and the biggest problem comes ultimately in the execution. The Thirteenth Floor is an absolutely perfect example of a movie that could have been a lot better in the hands of someone with a bit more talent and flair.

The Wizard of Oz is one of the greatest alternate reality classics ever made….

What if critics ranked Angelina Jolie’s Top 10 Movies (+vid)

Both on and off the screen, Angelina Jolie has been one of the film industry’s most eminently watchable celebrities for over a decade. Here’s a revisit to critical highlights of her billion-dollar filmography by counting down her ten best-reviewed performances.

…This looks fun…We all know with fame comes envy and hate, yet Angelina has never done anything wrong. Jennifer Aniston fans to this day blame her for the divource of her and Pitt. And the internet feeds and thrives on that kinda thing, so the create stories,etc making Jolie look like a “suspect”. In reality (we’re all in–Inception it seems) She’s just like us. Now moving past the hate she got for dating Brad Pitt, people hate her for being a mother! What’s wrong with adopting? Nothing as long as SHE and Pitt can provide love, care, etc for them. If they weren’t doing so no matter how much money they have, those kids would be taken from them. As far as her acting, I don’t love all her films, but I do enjoy most of them, and can tolerate the ones that are bad.Who’s perfect? No one.As far as her not having a…
