For this DVD review of “Dead Silence“, The Dude on the Right thought the marketing folks didn’t market this movie appropriately. They seemed to have been stuck on the “It’s from the ‘Saw‘” people, it’s gruesome, and it’s horrifying, rather than promoting it as just a decent thriller/horror flick dealing with ventriloquist dummies and a haunted ventriloquist which would creep out most of us anyway. We don’t always want to see gruesome and horrifying, sometimes we just want a thriller, which “Dead Silence” mostly is.

What’s New? A Podcast of: Kids are Turning Japanese, Journey Scores a Top 5 Single on Sirius, Wii Workouts, and Movie Talk.
For this podcast of “Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!” Stu Gotz and The Dude on the Right think they are cool and recollect their cool things they did over the weekend. Some of it has to do with Journey getting a spot in the “Sirius Hits 1 Weekend Countdown,” being good friends watching “The Sopranos,” and Stu’s kids spouting lyrics that might be politically incorrect, or maybe the little dudes are really “Turning Japanese.” Stu also might be on the Nintendo Wii work out plan (though he loses to his 4 1/2 year old), and The Dude talks about movies like “Evan Almighty” and “1408.”

This week’s weather is looking hot, but the weekend was cool, just like Stu Gotz
and I, so cool in fact we are back with all of the cool stuff we did this
weekend in this episode of
"Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up" podcast. I hip Stu to the
resurgence of Journey, namely with "Don’t Stop Believing" finding itself at
#5 on the Sirius Hits 1
Weekend Countdown. Stu also has what will hopefully be our last "Soprano"
story ever. Stu was wondering about his fathering abilities as one of the CD’s
his kids love to listen to is a compilation of songs, with one of their
favorites being "The Monster Mash." The thing is that the CD also contains
"Turning Japanese" by
The Vapors,
and "Kung Fu Fighting" by Carl Douglas, and as little boys will be little boys,
well, Stu wonders about the political incorrectness of his boys when they sing.
I think Stu might at well just get it over with and teach his kids the f-bomb
and s-bomb, but then again I don’t have kids.
With the weekend also comes
movies, and I give Stu my rundown of
"Evan Almighty," and
"1408," and being a little sad that
"Live Free or Die Hard" which opens Wednesday will be rated PG-13.
Stu also has been getting some
exercise lately playing his Nintendo Wii, although sadly he keeps losing at
boxing to his 4 1/2 year old son. Little Stu obviously doesn’t care about
Big Stu’s rope-a-dope or
fancy footwork. I’m guessing Little Stu is just using the punch-a-dope
boxing style, which for the Wii means, well, you’ll just have to listen.
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!

What’s New? A Movie Reviw of “1408”.
For this movie review of “1408,” The Dude on the Right was utterly thrilled to find a horror/thriller movie totally well done without the slasher-film mentality. Sure there are lots of pictures of folks who killed themselves and their loved ones in room 1408, but mostly this movie is all about mind games that might be nightmares or might be reality, and they’re lasting for a little over an hour once you enter the room. To quote the Eagles song “Hotel California” you can check out, but you can never leave. In the end you just have to decide how you want to check out of room 1408.
What’s New? A Movie Review of “Evan Almighty.”
For this movie review of “Evan Almighty,” The Dude on the Right understands there will be some people who will enjoy this film, only he’s not one of them. In the end he found that a movie about getting God’s powers (“Bruce Almighty”) is a hell of a lot more enjoyable than being told by God to build an ark.
What’s New? A Podcast of: Three Vetoes From President Bush, I Should be The Next Host of “The Price is Right,” and Maybe Meredith is Nicer than Barbara.
For this podcast The Dude on the Right goes on a slight political rant focusing on President Bush’s recent veto of a second stem cell research bill, and his quote “Destroying human life in the hopes of saving human life is not ethical.”
On lighter notes The Dude also thinks he would be the perfect replacement for Bob Barker on “The Price is Right,” and reminds all of you that Paris Hilton will be getting out of jail soon, and you probably would have done the same time with the purported payday she will get from her first interview, which, sort of surprisingly, won’t be with Barbara Walters.
Three Vetoes From President Bush, I Should be The Next Host of “The Price is Right,” and Maybe Meredith is Nicer than Barbara.

Sorry to get a little political, but let’s say you’re President of the United
States for a bunch of years now, and one of the strongest powers you have is the
power of the veto. I remember the power of the veto from my younger days,
watching
“Schoolhouse Rock,” and hoping Bill will become a law. President Bush,
it seems, wields his power by fighting our “War on Terror,” destroying human
life in the hopes of saving human life. He then vetoes, for the second time, a
bill regarding embryonic stem cell research stating, well, “Destroying human
life in the hopes of saving human life is not ethical.”
During this podcast I don’t talk that much about President Bush and his
vetoes, but rather devote most of it as to why I think I should be the next host
of “The Price is Right.” Hell, I’ll even take the bag off of my head.
Also, you’ll be pleased to remember Paris Hilton will be getting out of
jail soon, and I’ll bet most of you would have done similar time with the same
payday she is supposedly going to get. Looks like Barbara Walters isn’t
her friend anymore, or the Meredith Vieira people opened up their
pocketbooks a little more.
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up: Stu’s Early “Ratatouille” Review, More Movie Talk, and a Skin Flute.
By:
The Dude on the Right
A weekend full of movies brings Stu Gotz and me together for our
weekend wrap-up podcast. Stu Gotz gives his early opinion on the latest
Disney/Pixar flick, "Ratatouille," that had a sneak-peak screening over
the weekend. He also saw
"Ocean’s Thirteen," and he liked it. Me, I tell Stu what I thought about
"Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" and that yes, he will probably
like
"Nancy Drew." We also do some reminiscing of movies in college, and
discuss sneaking beer into a movie theater in anticipation of the
"Transformers" movie opening soon. There’s all that, Stu and I
realizing we need to get back on the diet and exercise wagon, and the podcast
starts out with some skin flute talk as heard on a TV station from Cleveland, O
Hi O.
Thanks for listening!

What’s New? A Movie Review of “Nancy Drew.”
For this movie review of “Nancy Drew” The Dude on the Right really liked Emma Roberts as Nancy in the film. He even liked Josh Flitter as the not so suave and debonair Corky. He even liked the film, even though he really isn’t the target audience, but sometimes he just likes a fun mystery.
