The MTV Movie Awards Show where Hollywood not only lets its hair down, but dyes it in some radical color and put it in spikes. Still, that doesn’t stop certain winners like Comedic Genius Award Recipient Melissa McCarthy giving a heartfelt speech and name checking the women in comedy whose shoulders she stands upon including Carol Burnett, Julia Louis Dreyfus, and even her own mother. 

All in all, it was a well-executed speech amidst the controlled chaos of the telecast that also happen to include Melissa McCarthy crowd surfing.

“Big Trouble in Little China” Remake In The Works With Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson Possibly Starring

(via Variety)

We guess it was inevitable that one of the funniest action/horror movies of all time would needlessly get a remake. Let’s just hope it does star The Rock.

Big Trouble in Little China was definitely a highlight of both Kurt Russell and John Carpenter’s careers and pretty much perfect, in our opinion, the way it is. 

However, if a remake is going forward, take some solace in that it might star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson who made an earthquake disaster movie make bank over the weekend and that the writer of X-Men: First Class and Thor is co-writing it.

Worst comes to worst, Honest Trailers will surely have something spot on to say about it.

Well, here’s a great example of a prank where rather than a victim, there’s a winner as well as some nice promotion for San Andreas. 

What started out as a bit for Screen Junkies during a press junket long ago has turned into not only a friendship between one of their own, Nick Mundy, and The Rock, but has made for one hell of a surprise wedding prank (an actual legally binding wedding FYI) that, for our money, tops all those choreographed proposal videos on YouTube. 

Watch it all go hilariously and wonderfully go down here.

If they can make a gritty Snow White remake, why not a gritty update for Bambi?

That’s what SNL was thinking lat night when they made a trailer for something that’s a Fast and Furious 7 meets a live action Bambi with The Rock wearing deer ears and a fur vest and Taran Killam in a muscle suit and bunny ears.

Yes, they have plenty of pun “kill lines” too.

Watch it here.
