As 2007 wraps up for the Entertainment Ave! crew there’s still a little time for one more movie review with The Dude on the Right seeing “Charlie Wilson’s War” and now stalking Amy Adams, and although not a true Weekend Wrap-Up podcast, The Dude just wants to thank you, wants to lose weight, and wants to set some goals for the website. Here’s to a fabulous 2008 for all of you!

What’s New? A Movie Review of “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story.”
So yesterday we found that The Dude on the Right was stalking Diane Kruger, but during today’s movie review of “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story,” we now find that The Dude has tossed Diane aside in favor of his new love, Jenna Fischer. The Dude is so easily influenced by the ladies, and also easily amused, but does warn that some of you might not get a lot of the humor in the latest Judd Apatow flick. It does, though, have things for both the dudes and the dudettes, so in any case you’ve got that going for you if you go and see it.
What’s New? A Movie Review of “National Treasure: Book of Secrets.”
For this movie review of “National Treasure: Book of Secrets,” The Dude on the Right returned to stalker mode of Diane Kruger. Too bad for him the movie is only rated PG, and he didn’t get the role of Connor in the film. In any case, he’s a fan of the original movie, so it’s not really a surprise he likes this sequel.
What’s New? A Movie Review of “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.”
In anticipation of the next episode of “Stu & The Dude Reviewin’ the Movies for You!”, The Dude on the Right decided to write a review of “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street“ since the animated review might take a couple/three weeks to get done. In any case The Dude didn’t really like the movie, and neither did his niece, his nephew, nor his nephew’s girlfriend. The Dude still has troubles with Broadway musical adaptations put on the silver screen, but does think Johnny Depp and the rest of the cast can sing.
What’s New? A Podcast of: A Chubbier Nephew, Lorain, and A Christmas Tradition.
The Dude on the Right is home from home for the holidays and worries that his nephew is trying to be a little too much like him. Such is one of the musings for this podcast. The Dude is also closer to being “street” thanks to a gift from his niece, and as a gift back he takes his 16 year old to another R-Rated movie, this time “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.” The Dude’s movie review should follow soon.
Anyway, he also ponders his mother being in the hospital over Christmas, looks forward to seeing a boatload of movies over the upcoming weekend, and wonders if any college students realize the impact that Momofuku Ando had on their life’s, or even celebrated Mr. Ando’s life hearing about his death back in January of 2007. If you are a college student you should probably chug a beer, that you can now afford, thanks to the invention by Momofuku Ando.
What’s New? A Movie Review of “Juno.”
The Dude on the Right reviews the movie “Juno,” and he has found a new movie that has joined the ranks of his favorites of 2007. Who would have thought the telling of a story of a pregnant 16 year old in a movie that also includes that dudette from “Alias” would be so much fun? Not The Dude, but he loved it anyway and thinks Ellen Page deserves every acting accolade she is being given.
What’s New? A DVD Review of “Hatchet.”
Most horror movies don’t scare The Dude on the Right, usually they just make him laugh or groan. Watching (and reviewing) “Hatchet” made him laugh which is a good thing. The Dude knows that his sister would probably be crapping her pants viewing it, but for him, he loves these kinds of horror movies but just thought the first 30 minutes took too long. His favorite quote from the DVD actually came from the director/writer, Adam Green, during one of the extras – “If I’m not going to see some nudity and some gore , don’t waste my time.” According to The Dude on the Right, “Hatchet” will give you plenty of nudity and plenty of gore, so it probably won’t waste your time.
What’s New? Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up Podcast! They Both See Movies, The Dude has a Cold, and Stu’s Getting Old.
Stu Gotz and The Dude on the Right overcome some health issues to get together for another podcast of “Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!” They both saw “I Am Legend” and “Alvin and the Chipmunks,” so there’s discussions about the good and bad of those movies, while Stu’s Netflix queue gave Stu a good movie while The Dude recommends a movie Stu should add to the queue. They also discuss Dan Fogelberg‘s death where The Dude gets it correct, TV shows are wrapping up, and what better thing this Christmas season than Mr. Chocolate Rain, Tay Zonday, orating “Twas the Night Before Christmas,” at least The Dude on the Right thinks so.
What’s New? A Movie Review of “Alvin and the Chipmunks.”
Maybe the movie wasn’t that bad, or maybe it’s because of The Dude on the Right’s headcold, but The Dude reviewed “Alvin and the Chipmunks” and sort of liked it. Sure, he thought the story was too predictable, he found Claire cute but thought her storyline unnecessary, and The Dude also wonders why, after all of these years, it’s still hard to understand the little critters, but if you’ve got kids it will be good for them and you won’t be totally bored to tears.
What’s New? A Movie Review of “I Am Legend.”
The Dude on the Right reviews “I Am Legend” and realizes once again why he isn’t making films. His ending for the movie would have been a hell of a lot different, but he’s not giving it away for the review so as not to spoil the movie for you. The Dude might tell Stu Gotz about how he would have turned “I Am Legend” into a movie masterpiece during their “Weekend Wrap-Up” podcast, but in a worst case, if he does a DVD review of the film, he’ll be sure to spoil the ending of the film and try to explain why his ending would be so much better. Ending be damned, The Dude did think that Will Smith did a great job carrying the entire movie.
