The Rack – Fourth Week of February 2012
FOURTH WEEK OF FEBRUARY 2012 Holy crap people! The Oscars are this Sunday. They seemed like some far off event but hot damn it’s in five days! I’ve got my fingers crossed for THE ARTIST, Jean Dujardin and Miss Viola Davis. Hopefully you guys will join us in our live blog of the event so [...]

Episode 14 of Infamous Radio is jam-packed with topics of discussion as The Kidd, Raven McCoy and Jon Doe opine on Robert Pattinson being too old to do any more TWILIGHTs, trailer reactions for ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER, the potential for BEETLEJUICE 2, I AM LEGEND possibly getting a sequel, Guillermo del Toro putting his [...]
Mascott Visits New York Toy Fair 2012
It came to me as a surprise when, three weeks ago, I received a Facebook message from our very own Infamous Billy the Kidd. “Hey. Weird question: Do you want to go to New York Toy Fair?” Hell yes I want to go to New York Toy Fair, Billy. I arrived at the Jacob Javits Convention Center, which I [...]
Jon Doe Wishes He Could Banish Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance Back To The Hell From Which It Came
Even after watching the film, I’m still shocked that it exists. GHOST RIDER: SPIRIT OF VENGENCE is the sequel to a film that I truly felt was hot garbage. Somehow someone thought that continuing this series, with its “all-star” lead role, would is a good idea, and here we have the second in what I [...]
Raven McCoy Happily Fought For Love In This Means War
You know how there are some movies that you can tell are going to be cheesy; over-the-top affairs that require you to suspend belief more than normal will be deliciously fun? For me that would be the CRANK films. They are ridiculous, offensive and in no way could they actually happen in the real world [...]
The Rack – Third Week of February 2012
THIRD WEEK OF FEBRUARY 2012 As the great Liz Lemon (and my gender studies teacher) would say “Valentine’s Day is a sham created by card companies to reinforce and exploit gender stereotypes.” So I say “Happy New Release Day!” to you all. Let’s not give into this Hallmark created holiday and contribute to the greeting [...]
Pumpkin Escobar Enjoyed His Stay In The Secret World Of Arrietty
I got into Hayao Miyazaki’s work just about a couple years ago. I’ve always enjoyed KIKI’S DELIVERY SERVICE, but that was just one of those movies I enjoyed in passing while I was growing up. After being introduced to SPIRITED AWAY, I made sure to watch many more of his films including his classic MY [...]
Infamous Radio: Episode 13 – The Golden Army
After The Kidd’s extended celebration of the New York Giants as Super Bowl Champions, Infamous Radio is back in gear for Episode 13. The Kidd, Raven McCoy and Jon Doe will offer up their thoughts on this year’s crop of movie TV spots during the Super Bowl as well as reactions to the brand new [...]
Remembering the Dead – Season Two, Episode 8 – “Nebraska”
You know a big whole giant group of people that aren’t funny? Happy people. ….. ALRIGHT THEN. WRITIN’ ‘BOUT ZOMBIES NOW. ‘CUZ THAT’S MY JOB. If you’ll recall, we last left our survivors outside of the barn. Shane had let Hershel’s family of walkers out, who the Atlanta survivors were forced to kill as they shambled [...]
Jon Doe Is Intrigued By Journey 2: The Mysterious Island
As JOURNEY 2: THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND’s release date approached, I remember asking myself why the film was called “JOURNEY 2” when, from what I could recount for quite some time, there hadn’t been an initial film. It wasn’t until later, when it was brought to my attention that this was the sequel to the [...]
Raven McCoy Enjoyed Her Time In Safe House
It seems like a year can’t go by without at least one movie following a man or men on the run (typically a spy or assassin) and the agent dead set on bringing him or her in. Last year was the awesome HANNA, with the so-so SALT the year before and one of my favorites, [...]
The Rack – Second Week of February 2012
SECOND WEEK OF FEBRUARY 2012 Something big happened on Sunday right? It wasn’t a big awards show, that I do know. It wasn’t an election. Those aren’t until later in the year. A celebrity didn’t pass. I know there’s something. Something happened Sunday but I just can’t put my finger on it. Oh well. Probably wasn’t [...]
Raven McCoy Was Terrified Of The Woman In Black
Although Daniel Radcliffe has hung up his robes and wand he just can’t seem to leave the world of the supernatural behind just yet. Abandoning the magic but retaining the ghosts and spiritual world, THE WOMAN IN BLACK is his first big screen outing since the HARRY POTTER franchise and follows Radcliffe as he portrays [...]
Infamous Radio: Episode 12 – Escape To Africa
We know you’ve been waiting for our take on the Oscar nominations, so, for Episode 12 of Infamous Radio, Raven McCoy, Jon Doe and I discuss who made the Oscar cut and some likely winners in the major categories. Plus, we’ll talk about Warner Bros. expensive investment in the continuation of THE HANGOVER series, Sony [...]
The Rack – First Week of February 2012
FIRST WEEK OF FEBRUARY 2012 And just like that January is done. Yay!! One month done, ten and a half more to go before the end of the world. Sadly this week’s Rack doesn’t quite compare to last week’s as only about half of this week’s offerings are worth checking out. We’ve got a man [...]
Raven McCoy Almost Wanted To Jump After Seeing Man On A Ledge
When it comes to action thrillers there’s nothing I love more than a tale of multiple stories with each one acting as a distraction for the other as they all work together for some grander agenda. You think you know what’s going on and have a handle on the situation and then BAM! Everything just [...]
Jon Doe Finds The Grey To Be Quite Gray
THE GREY stars Liam Neeson as John Ottway as a man who is on the verge of giving up on life. Instead of surrendering to the barrel of his gun, however, he and his comrades fall victim to a plane crash during a violent snow storm and wind up stuck in the frozen tundra of [...]
Jon Doe Enjoyed Hanging Out With The Man On A Ledge
MAN ON A LEDGE is not PHONEBOOTH. I initiate with this statement as I want to hastily walk the large elephant out of the room. All talks I’ve had pertaining to this film have resulted in someone asking the question, “So it’s like PHONE BOOTH, right?” Even I was under the presumption that the film [...]
Infamous Radio: Episode 11 – Fievel Goes West
With Raven McCoy recovering nicely, the InfamousKidd.com crew is back on the mic for Infamous Radio: Episode 11 – Fievel Goes West. This week, Raven, Jon Doe and I discuss Chuck Norris’ impact on THE EXPENDABLES 2 and whether or not it was all really worth it, the progress of THE HUNGER GAMES trilogy, THE [...]
InfamousKidd.com Exclusive Interview: The Kidd Has One Last Good Talk About The Grey With Dallas Roberts
Next up on my interview tour through the fray of THE GREY is Dallas Roberts. Roberts may be familiar to those of you who gave AMC’s RUBICON a chance before the cable network pulled the plug on the show after one season, playing Miles Fielder, a member of the analysis team under James Badge Dale’s [...]
InfamousKidd.com Exclusive Interview: The Kidd Gets Existential With Frank Grillo In Talking The Grey
After my conversation with director Joe Carnahan, the email came down, asking me if I wanted to set up a phone interview with both Dermot Mulroney and Dallas Roberts, two members of THE GREY’s cast to further discuss the film. Absolutely I was game to get more in-depth on these characters, this group of guys [...]
InfamousKidd.com Exclusive Interview: The Kidd Enters Into The Grey With Director Joe Carnahan
I can’t stop talking about THE GREY. It’s that simple. Since checking out the movie I thought was simply going to be “Liam Neeson fighting wolves,” and learning it’s so much more – it’s so much deeper, it’s so much more thought-provoking, it’s so much more intellectual than that – I haven’t been able to [...]
The Rack – Last Week of January 2012
LAST WEEK OF JANUARY 2012 You’ll all be happy to know that after a week and half of recovery my throat and voice are nearly back to original condition so thanks again for all the well wishes. As January winds down so too do the new Blu-ray and DVD releases. Although the numbers are small, [...]
Jon Doe Finds Much Is Amiss In Haywire
I’m still not entirely sure why HAYWIRE even exists. I’ll admit the film does have the gorgeous Gina Carano, a femme fetale who attempts to carry the entire film on her back. Magnificent in everything she dons, from her stunning evening gown to her all black espionage wear, she is definitely a sight for sore [...]
The Kidd Vs. Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close
September 11th is not a plot device. Period. If there’s going to be a film made about 9/11, then someone should do so, telling the tragic stories of those who lost their lives on that day or those that lost loved ones… but, if you’re going to do so, own it. Don’t try to hide [...]
