The 10 greatest moustaches in film and television history

Posted by Paul Little | Tuesday, August 12, 2008 @ 9:24am

Moustaches: the symbol of manliness. While in recent years, it appears moustaches have tragically gone "out of style", there should be little doubt that in their heydey, they were the ultimate fashion statement for men. No matter what the style -- the casual 'stache of the 70s that showed you didn't give a damn, the thick moustache of the 80s that told everyone you could kick their ass, the pencil-thin moustache that screams out evil villain (or John Waters), or the thick and curly moustaches of turn of the century criminals and crazy prospectors -- a moustache is the furry window into a man's soul.

So in conjunction with the August 16th AMC Basic Cable Premiere of the 2004 action comedy Starsky & Hutch (based on the 70s TV show of the same name, and featuring plenty of killer 'staches throughout), ShowbizMonkeys.com is taking a look at some of the best moustaches of film and television. (Those with beards need not apply -- you're too afraid to let your moustache speak for itself!)

Review: The Dark Knight

Posted by Big Marv from Hot 103 | Thursday, July 17, 2008 @ 10:24pm

The Basic:

From the time Batman Begins ends to where The Dark Knight starts, you see Gotham on its way out of the gutter. Batman’s presence has made police more confident and criminals more cowardly. Gotham has a new beacon of hope in District Attorney, Harvey Dent. Though things are looking up, you need a spark to start a fire. Enter: The Joker.

Review: Wanted

Posted by Cameron McLeod | Thursday, June 26, 2008 @ 2:21pm

Curving bullets you say...?

The first time I saw a preview for this movie, I was aghast at how ridiculous the idea of curving a bullet was. I mean come on.... The rest of the trailer showed a Dodge Viper fish-tailing in a parking lot at just the right speed that it scooped someone up and into the passenger seat oh-so-perfectly, and a few other tidbits of lesser note.

DVD Review: The Hammer

Posted by Cameron McLeod | Wednesday, June 25, 2008 @ 3:03pm

IMDB Tagline: Some Guys Don't Know Their Destiny Till It Hits Them In The Face.

Film review: You know what? I liked this movie a lot more than I thought I would. After hearing nothing about it until it was handed to me at dinner, I was a little worried that I’d have to sit through 88 minutes of awful. As it turns out, I was quite incorrect. Adam Carolla proves that he has great comic timing (in a film), and the supporting cast does a great job too.

Review: The Incredible Hulk

Posted by Big Marv from Hot 103 | Friday, June 13, 2008 @ 1:24am

The Basic:

June 20, 2003. That was the release date of Ang Lee's The Hulk. Now, I didn't google release dates to find this out. I know this because at the time I was BEYOND excited. I counted down months, weeks, days until June 20, 2003. See, I'm a little biased. I'm a DIE HARD Hulk fan. I know every character, I have just about every issue and I could give you back stories on just about everything Hulk related. So back in June of '03...I was pretty stoked! Good cast, FANTASTIC director...but...wow. What a stinker. It seems I wasn't the only one that felt that way. Why else would Marvel say...MULLIGAN! DO OVER! RE-DO!...just 5 years later. The good thing is, now they know what NOT to do. The Incredible Hulk has an exciting new director in Louis Leterrier (Transporter 2) and a brand, spanking new cast! Edward Norton as Bruce Banner, Liv Tyler as Betty Ross, William Hurt as Gen. Thunderbolt Ross, Lou Ferrigno as the voice of the Hulk and Tim Roth as Emil Blonski who becomes "Abomination" (Who's that? Well, Batman has Joker, and Hulk has Abomination. Get it? Good!). We also get a glimpse of the future with small parts for Doc Samson and The Leader (2 very important characters to the Hulk mythos). Ok, now that's outta the way, on to The Breakdown!

A look back at Martin Lawrence's best roles

Posted by Paul Little | Thursday, June 12, 2008 @ 5:23am

From his early days doing stand-up comedy -- appearing on Star Search and the groundbreaking HBO series Def Comedy Jam -- right up until 2008, Martin Lawrence has been making people laugh. Sure, his audience may have changed over the last 20 years, but he's still starring in #1 movies (look no further than last year's Wild Hogs). In celebration of the DVD release of Lawrence's latest film, Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins (out Tuesday, June 17th), ShowbizMonkeys.com is looking back at that 20 year career to list Lawrence's five best roles. And no, the list doesn't include Roscoe Jenkins -- that would be too easy, and you all know ShowbizMonkeys.com doesn't roll that way.

Review: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Posted by Big Marv from Hot 103 | Thursday, May 22, 2008 @ 7:34pm

The Basic:

It took 19 years for George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford to reconnect and once again put together an Indiana Jones flick. This one has a cast that really mixes it up. You've got the return of Harrison Ford as one of the most iconic characters in movie history, and Karen Allen returns as Marion Ravenwood (Indy’s love interest). Then you bring in great character actors like Ray Winstone and John Hurt, a femme fatal in Oscar-winning Cate Blanchett... and with them, you mix in Hollywood’s new "IT" guy, Shia LeBeouf. So, you've got a strong cast, Lucas and Spielberg, and an already huge fan base. Let’s get to The Breakdown!

Interview: Indiana Jones costume designer Bernie Pollack

Posted by Mark McLeod | Saturday, May 17, 2008 @ 6:15pm

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is one of this summer's most anticipated blockbusters. It's been nearly 20 years since The Last Crusade, and ever since then fans have been waiting for the next installment in this classic serial. It’s been years in the making, and the product of finally finding the right script and the time when Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Harrison Ford were all able to get together. As the years went by and Harrison Ford continued to add another year to his age, it began to look like it just might not happen. In fact, when I spoke with producer/director Frank Marshall in 2006 a few short weeks after Firewall came out (Ford’s return to the action genre), I urged him that the window may indeed be running out. Marshall replied that he always got asked about Indy in every interview he did, and that fans should be patient.
