Pieces include: the life of Tom Cruise rewritten in a Biblical style. how Movie Trailer Guy lies to us- homosexual undertones in action flicks- Schwarzenegger on the therapists’s couch- the most stupid character names ever- Marxist cartoon reviews- national stereotypes in cinema- what happens to action heroes in retirement?- tell-tale clichés of summer films- romantic match-ups that could only happen in cinema- how to make a deep-and-meaningful art-house film- Spike Lee vs. Mike Leigh in a directorial death-fight- why the Oscars suck completely- VCR RIP- the most pretentious French film script ever written- James Cameron takes on the life of Gandhi- suggestions for Tarantino flicks- get kitted out with the coolest props ever- and why movies have made me terrified to travel abroad.Take a walk on the wild - and funny - side of the freaky-deaky film world. This is no country for old jokes!
