My love for the Greg Mottola’s “Adventureland” (bound for my Top Movies of 2008 list for sure) has manifested itself in a Halloween night rock show. As a tribute to the movie and its awesome soundtrack, The Dead Girls (under the name ADVENTUREBAND) will be performing 13 songs from the movie on Saturday, Oct. 31 at the Replay Lounge in Lawrence. Find out more here.

Today’s Top 10 list comes to us from Sean O’Connell, a New York City-based writer who has also contributed Top 10 Worst Movie Husbands, Top 10 Movie Rain Scenes and  Top 10 Movie Brothers to Scene-Stealers.

Each one of these entries brought back a flood of memories for me. It’s amazing how some of these people have really stuck with me over the years. I guess terrible neighbors really make an impression. Anyway, as Halloween approaches, these would be some people whose houses you’d probably want to stay away from. Enjoy the Top 10 Worst Movie Neighbors.

Eric’s castmate on VH1’s World Series of Pop Culture, Robert Bishop from Wocka Wocka, joins him for a review of “Where the Wild Things Are.” Spike Jonze directed the movie, which is adapted by Dave Eggers from the classic kids book by Maurice Sendak. Find out whether “Where the Wild Things Are” the movie is for kids or not.

According to Warren J. Cantrell, today’s Top 10 contributor and regular all-around manly guy, some films considered “classics” got it wrong from the get-go. Because of nostalgic vice-grips on memories or experiences associated with the pictures, he says, people refuse to re-think the movies with a critical 21st century eye. The films in his list should not be considered indispensable members of the holy Hollywood fraternity of screen gems at all. In fact, he wants us to take a harder look at what these films were saying to their audience.

Warren does just that in his Top 10 Classic Movies That Got it Wrong.

“Paranormal Activity” expanded this weekend to more cities and for the first time was shown at a time other than midnight. It’s a very strange marketing campaign that seems to have paid off for the ultra-low-budget horror flick.

One of those cities is Kansas City, so I saw it Friday night, and here’s my uncharacteristically neutral review. What a strange and unfulfilling evening it was.

George Hickman, our man down in Austin, TX for Fantastic Fest 2009, saw it weeks ago and has a full review of right here. He and the genre-friendly crowd at the festival had an easier time with it than I did.

Ever wondered what a special-effects-driven disaster movie like the upcoming “2012″ would look like if all the FX were removed? Well, an editor has done just that, posting a minute and a half of footage from “2012″ with just the actors. John Cusack and company do a lot of screaming and reacting, and it’s hilarious. Want to know what the end of the world really looks like? Stick around for the closing shot!

The sensation that is sweeping LA, NY, DC, and Chicago comes directly to the Midwest! AIREOKE is a combination of air guitar and karaoke that was created by “Air Guitar Nation” star Bjorn Turoque, and it’s coming to Lawrence/KC!

YOU be the rock star! Bring your own mp3 player or rock out onstage to any number of your favorite songs from the vast AIREOKE catalog. *No guitars allowed.

If you were at the Kansas City US Air Guitar Regional, you know how fun and infectious a night of pure, unadulterated air guitar can be. You may not think you’ll be performing, but after seeing everyone else do it (and having a couple drinks), you may think differently.

The entire event is hosted by 2009 KC air guitar champion Mean Melin and authorized by “To Air Is Human” author Bjorn Turoque.

… also up today is George Hickman’s Day 5 report from Fantastic Fest 2009. He’s got the early scoop on some of the scariest movies for Halloween this year. One is out now in sort sort of secret Amazon alliance and another comes out on DVD/Blu-ray today. Make sure and read all about “House of the Devil,” “[REC] 2,” and “Trick ‘R Treat” right here.

Eric welcomes Trevan McGee from Inkkc.com back as guest host as they review the new horror comedy “Zombieland.”  Also new in this weekend that’s unusually overstuffed with good movies, Eric has print reviews for “Zombieland,” “Whip It,” “The Invention of Lying,” and “Capitalism: A Love Story.”

George Hickman’s days and nights are filled with nothing but movies lately. Our man on the scene in Austin, TX for Fantastic Fest 2009 has five more screenings under his belt, including the Terry Gilliam mind-trip “The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus.”

You may recall that the late Heath Ledger’s unfinished role in the movie was filled out by Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell after his unexpected death last year. Does it affect the continuity or concept of the movie? Find out about that film and four more in George’s Day Four report from Fantastic Fest.
