Seeing Double is the new Scene-Stealers series that celebrates the only thing better than watching one movie—watching two movies. Each week we look for a more perfect cinematic union as we view and discuss a pair of movies chosen either for things they have in common or things they don’t. The films may be old […]

Will there be an extra scene after “Iron Man 2” credits? Will it set up “The Avengers”? According to SuperheroHype,  “A 100% trusted source (NOT from the production/distribution, but very familiar with the movie) confirmed us today that there will be an easter egg in IM2. It’s an extra scene, just like the one in […]

Now that the weather’s getting better, it’s just about time to bring out one of my favorite summer songs. It’s not like a Beach Boys fun-in-the-sun-surfin’-safari summer song or anything like that, though. It’s more of an obtuse, I’m-feeling-kinda-lonely-and-surly song. 1992’s “Summer Babe” was the first song I ever heard by Pavement and it was […]

I was going to write another movie-related Top 10, but as sit here in front of the computer, all I’ve been doing all night is getting inspired by my fellow rockers-in-air. You see, Thursday morning I take off for five days on the U.S. Air Guitar Championships tour in hopes that I’ll be able to […]

Week three of our new series spotlights a song that never, ever gets old. Some how, every time I hear it, it makes me want to sing to the rafters. I suppose it’s as close to a gospel song as I’ll ever have in my life. It’s the lead track off of 1995’s “Tomorrow the […]

Scene-Stealers reader Ryan Klima (who previously wrote the Top 10 Most Iconic Movie Posters list) has a well-timed Top 10 for today…here’s Ryan: Baseball season started yesterday, which means that many people will be going to the movies while waiting for football to start again. To celebrate, I’ve decided to compose a super-team composed of […]

“I used to think God was angry, too, but not anymore! He used to jump on me like a wild bird and dig his claws into my head. But then one morning, he came to me. He blew over me like a cool breeze and said, ‘Stand up!’ And here I am.” When “The Last […]

How does the state-of-the-art CGI compare to the 1981 version’s stop-motion animation? Find out in this review featuring clips from the movie. The […]
