The Dude on the Right has a question: "Does the trailer for ‘10,000 B.C.’ hint anywhere that the movie would be appropriate for a 4 or 5 year old girl?" So even though he questions some people’s parenting skills, during his movie review he didn’t think "10,000 B.C." was as bad as some critics are saying. Sure, you have to suspend reality a bit, but at least our main tribe and characters speak English and there’s even a translator for some of the other tribes.
The Dude on the Right knew there would come a day when he didn’t like a Will Ferrell movie, and for this movie review of “Semi-Pro” he can’t really explain why he didn’t like it, he just didn’t. Even though he didn’t like the movie that much, he still likes Maura Tierney,
thus remembering he should start watching “ER” some more, and also likes “Big, bouncy, jiggly ‘hearts.'”
The Dude on the Right is back from his weekend in Lorain, Ohio, a city where both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are making campaign stops, but The Dude didn’t stay long enough to see either of them. Instead he got back to the Chicagoland area as quick as he could so he and Stu Gotz could put together a new episode of their “Weekend Wrap-Up Podcast!” The Dude would have liked to have stayed to see Barack speak and Hillary flash her crazy-eyes, but instead he gets to listen to Stu not stop talking (maybe Stu should be a politician?).
But because Stu wouldn’t shut up this podcast is all over the place, including talk about The Academy Awards and who should have won an Oscar, movies like “The Ex” and “Be Kind, Rewind,” buying a meat slicer, “Saturday Night Live,” starting a porn site, a non-bachelor party, Jim Cantore from The Weather Channel calling Stu in the middle of the night, and Mama Gotz almost falling out of bed. At least The Dude got to tell Stu that Jimmy Kimmel is fucking Ben Affleck.
So many things are in this podcast, and probably a few more. Go ahead, give it a listen.
The Dude on the Right was happy when he read Lindsay Lohan was getting naked, but for this podcast he states that he doesn’t like Lindsay trying to copy Marilyn Monroe, that she should be her own woman. He’s also frustrated because he ruined most of the animation of his and Stu’s animated review of “Sweeney Todd,” questions the decision to run a show geared for families, namely “My Dad is Better Than Your Dad” at a time-slot when the kids should be getting ready for bed, and wonders who will be buying “American Idol” performances on iTunes.
The Dude on the Right has turned in his guy-card. Yup, we find in his movie review of “Definitely, Maybe” that The Dude got weepy, even during a scene that was telegraphed from miles away. He does think it is a great date movie, but is sad the with Ryan Reynolds entering the realm of being a more serious actor, odds are there won’t be a “Van Wilder: He’s a Professor Now.”
The Dude on the Right thinks “Jumper” had the potential to turn itself into a movie about a new superhero, and he tells you how in his movie review. Sadly, though, for The Dude the movie just turned into a movie about a dork with a cool power, looking to get his girl. Maybe the book the movie was based on was better, but The Dude doesn’t read so that really doesn’t matter.
Stu Gotz and The Dude on the Right finally got back together for their “Weekend Wrap-Up!” podcast, maybe just to stay warm. The Dude talks about The Grammy Awards and then spotlights a song that probably has no chance to win one, while Stu worries if his kids should see “The Spiderwick Chonicles.” The Dude can’t help with the “Spider” movie, but he does tell Stu about “Fool’s Gold” and the Vince Vaughn comedy movie, while Stu saw “Atonement” and “The Nanny Diaries,” but warns The Dude that those who hire a nanny might not get the funny of the latter.
The Dude on the Right went to see “Fool’s Gold,” and guess what? That’s right, he wrote a review. The Dude’s always had a thing for Kate Hudson, and now he has a thing for Alexis Dziena, he just wishes the movie was rated R. As far as the movie goes, you will get exactly what you will probably expect, The Dude just wishes the film people could have made up their minds if that should be comedy or adventure.
The Dude on the Right was looking for some laughs, and he got them when he went to see ” Vince Vaughn’s Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30 Nights – Hollywood to the Heartland.” The title might be long, but the movie is a great look at 30 days, and nights, with four comics and some special guests thrown in for good measure. A word of warning: If you are a blue-hair who doesn’t like the F-Bomb please stay away from this movie, or just get through it to realize that comics are people, too.
The Dude on the Right is still trying to get settled in to doing DVD reviews, so this time he watched a movie he already loved, and still loves, and thinks you might love, namely the movie “Once.” He also did a solo podcast about hope, where he hopes Paula Abdul finally gives good audio now that “American Idol” is going to Hollywood, hopes the dudettes with the fake boobs stay awhile on “Survivor: Micronesia,” and as much as he hopes for the future of the United States, he also gives, during the podcast, some reasons why he likes Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton. Bring on John McCain!
