This week is going to be illegal immigrant week here on Alabama Liberal, but today I’d like to address the real problem. Instead of deporting Mexicans deboning chickens at Tyson Foods, we ought to be focusing on the real menace to society that’s hogging up all the good jobs: the British, Irish, Scottish, South African,…

[This is already sort of an out of the gate bust, as I’ve seen two of these movies since I originally made this list. Oh well…] 5. Cowboys and Indians: The only big budget Summer blockbuster that looks like it has a shred of originality. This matchup of Western and Sci-fi might be terrible but…

So last Thursday the search began for an official replacement for Steve Carell’s long reigning, brain dead manager Michael Scott. The two episodes before that were standalone episodes featuring different managers to good effect (Will Ferrell’s favorites playing boss Deangelo) and bad effect (after 7 long seasons of coveting the job you can’t have Dwight…

Despite the laundry list of rules horror movies like Scream tell us there are, there really are only three: 1. Hot women, black guys, and older cops don’t fare so well, 2. The best person to be is a little kid, since Hollywood executives typically don’t let them die even if they might be in…

Nicolas Cage hasn’t had a great year or even a great decade. It’s been years since Cage’s name has even been said in the same sentence as a hit movie and much longer since he’s been associated with a good one. He’s having major tax trouble with the IRS and engaged in some of the…

I feel it only appropriate to squeeze at least one item out of watching all 5 seasons of Big Love, so here goes… 5. The Worst Season: Season 4. This is the season even Chloe Sevigney (who plays bitter second wife Nicky, ironically the best thing about this particular season) said sucked. It started out…

The new movie Hall Pass pretty much came and went the weekend before last opening to a disappointing 13 million (initially expected to open at about 20 million) and unlikely to do much better this last weekend. Something that struck me in the previews was that they hardly mentioned the film was directed by the…

Alright so that headline doesn’t exactly make sense, but what does make sense to studio executives is that 3D movie tickets cost more, so they release as many 3D movies as possible. About a decade ago, the closest you got to a 3D movie is the god-awful Spy Kids 3D which asked you to wear…

It’s that time of year again. For a couple dozen movies to be nominated in Oscar’s big races and for only a handful to really win big. For the last decade the Oscars have been about as lively as snail shit mostly because from December until early February so many groups have their awards first…

In The Green Hornet Seth Rogen plays a fat, hard partying loud mouth who stumbles into being an action hero. The role is a huge departure for Rogen who has played a fatter, pothead loud mouth who stumbles into being a porn star in Zach & Miri Make a Porno, a fugitive in Pineapple Express,…

[This kicks off “throwback” week on Alabama Liberal. This week I will be re-posting the most popular items from the site’s first 7 months. I just go solely by whichever items had the most comments and am “re-sharing” them in a week that hopes to tap into some nostalgia while also finding new eyes for…
