Know Your Facts: Combining Drugs and Movies

Have you ever gotten
through (or god forbid) enjoyed a bad movie simply because you were inebriated
at the time? All those Ed Wood’s and Friedberg Seltzer’s old there should be
praising the sauce and its ability to make dreck cinema tolerable. In honour of
the release of stoner comedy Your
Highness, which finds its stars under the influence of all sorts of funky
stuff, Player Affinity has assembled this helpful pamphlet to help you get
through those dark movie times.

Dysfunctional Movie Parenting 101

Movies have oft-examined the extremes of dysfunctional parenting and the action-thriller Hanna presents a unique example. Hanna is a story about a CIA agent teaching his teenage daughter to be the ultimate assassin. 

Hanna Heller would not be the first cinematic child trained to be an assassin: Hit-Girl was introduced to film fans last year, the 11-year-old played by Chloe Moretz who dispatches drug dealers and gangsters with violence and an incredible potty mouth.

Trailer Tracker: The Hangover Part II, Hobo with a Shotgun and more

Our featured trailer this
week is of course the sequel to one of the biggest live-action comedies of all
time with The Hangover: Part II. The
wolfpack is back with all the principle and supporting characters returning
along with some fresh faces to round out the mayhem. Rutger Hauer is a hobo
with a shotgun in the movie titled Hobo
with a Shotgun, spun-off from a fake trailer from pulp flick Grindhouse and Will Ferrell turns to
more serious comedy with Everything Must
Go. Finally, after some shaky first clips, we have the thunderous extended
trailer for one of our upcoming superhero offerings with The Green Lantern. There’s always a light at the end of the tunnel,
it’s Trailer Tracker.
