I have a penis.

After several careful calculations, I think I've roughly seen it a few millions times in my life. I've never considered it to be that humorous. Penises, out of context, aren't inherently funny, are they? Situational penises can be funny, I guess. Shrinkage, sexual malfunction, size...

If you haven't seen The Avengers yet, what, do you not like America or something?

If you have seen the movie, I'd imagine afterwards you had a discussion face-to-face, on a Facebook status or through tweets regarding who you thought stole the show. Did you like Robert Downey Jr.'s sarcastic...

If we could do it all over again, I wish Jenna Fischer was never on The Office.

I wish she won't be forever remembered as Pam Beesly-Halpert. I wish my mind wouldn't always associate her with the color beige and sweaters a crotchety old librarian would wear.

Instead, I...

Seth MacFarlane has a fetish.

The creator of Family Guy, American Dad and The Cleveland Show REALLY digs it when he has a non-human character interact with human characters by speaking the English language. Do you get it? It's funny because dogs, aliens and bears aren't supposed to be...

Are a few f-words worse than teenagers murdering each other?

If you are sane, I would hope you would answer "no." But alas, the controversy last week stems from the Motion Picture Association of America granting an R-rating to the anti-bullying documentary Bully for a few f-words,...

As a great admirer of mumblecore stalwarts the Duplass brothers, it pains me to say that I hated their new film, Jeff, Who Loves At Home.

At a brief 83 minutes, their fourth film is laborious and elicited many checks of the clock on my cell phone. It's exhausting....

Approaching my mid-20s, I feel like I must now exit the culture of partying.

I've been there, I've done that, I've seen it all. Years removed from high school, I romanticize all those moments of teenage naivety; dodging authority and projectile vomiting Everclear. Some of the best memories of my...

His movies have grossed more than $1 billion at the worldwide box office. He's seemingly been on every single comedic TV show in the last 10 years. He's a co-founder of one of the most prolific improv and sketch comedy troupes of our time, the Upright Citizens Brigade.

He is...

We are living in a world where Martin Lawrence, in a fat suit and playing an old woman, made a better film than one that is nominated for Best Picture.

It's not hyperbole when I make the proclamation that Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son is a superior piece of...

Dear Denzel Washington,

This weekend, I saw your latest movie Safe House. I was sandwiched in the theater between a crying baby and two chatty Kathys, but I managed to survive and enjoy your action flick set all around South Africa. Your performance as a rogue agent with the...

The Windy City has been been the backdrop for some of the most iconic movie moments of all time.

Who can forget Ferris Bueller taking in a Cubs game, Michael Bay destroying Michigan Avenue in Transformers: Dark Of The Moon, or John Cusack recalling past loves walking through Wicker...

I don't know if I can properly articulate why I love the comedy of Tim Heidecker and Eric Warheim.

The duo, best known for their shows on Adult Swim like Tom Goes To The Mayor and Tim And Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, are more polarizing than Newt Gingrich...

Near the end of the atrocious Lifetime movie, Drew Peterson: Untouchable, the former Bolingbrook Sergeant (Rob Lowe) is sinisterly opening and closing his neighbor's garage door. The neighbor, who believes Drew is responsible for his fourth wife Stacy's disappearance, says she'll change the garage codes in order to stop him....

$9,000.

In this era of an economic downturn, that may seem like a lot, but what can it really get you? A couple months of rent in the city? A few semesters at college? A 1996 Chevrolet Corvette?

For $9,000, the most underrated auteur of his...

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is like a teacher who's lecturing his or her magnum opus. The student, its audience, must be paying diligent attention to receive any sort of real satisfaction from the labyrinthine lesson being taught. Absorbing and fully understanding this movie is work. Difficult work.

The adaptation of...
