10 Hilarious Foreign Translations of American Movie Titles

Donald Deane — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 14:20:29 +0000

American movies are big business overseas, but occasionally they require a little tweaking — overdubs, subtitles, etc. — to make them more suitable for foreign markets. Sometimes they even undergo a name change with hilarious (and head scratching) results. For example, ‘Army of Darkness’ is randomly known as ‘Captain Supermarket’ in Japan. ‘The Dark Knight’ [...]

I'm Going To Read It Again

Jerry Puffer — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 17:05:00 +0000

I just finished reading an outstanding book on one of my real heroes...F. Scott Fitzgerald. Through the years, I've read everything I could my hands on about Fitzgerald, along with many of his books. In fact, I've had the opportunity to tour Fitzgerald's old neighborhood on Summit Avenue in St Paul, which, by the way, is the same neighborhood where the "Empire Builder", Great Northern Railway's James J

Toddlers Have it Rough in 'This is 40′ Parody Trailer

Cameron Simcik — Wed, 02 Jan 2013 20:20:13 +0000

'This is 40' is a hilarious new comedy starring Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann as an older version of the couple they played in the equally funny 'Knocked Up.' It's basically an entertaining take on how married couples deal with life once they hit the daunting 4-0. Sure, things can get hard once you get up to that fourth decade, but we can't overlook the tough challenges one faces in the younger years. Introducing 'This is One.'

TheFW Staff — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 19:54:26 +0000

Director Bob Clark’s classic holiday comedy has a distinction that few family movies can claim: Most people don’t mind watching it over and over again.

‘Miracle On 34th Street’ was the first big screen remake of the 1947 Christmas classic of the same name. The 1994 fantasy doesn’t stray too much from the original’s famous plot. However, instead of taking place at Macy’s, the movie is set at a fictional department called Cole’s because Macy’s didn’t want to participate in [...]

Sure, everyone agrees that the 'Lord of the Rings' movies are great. But let's be real -- there's a whoooole lot of walking. Plus, we can't see Sean Astin without thinking "Rudy plumped up." So, yes, we love this 'Honest Trailer' for the movie. Th

Christmastime should be about family, generosity and good cheer, but sometimes there are a few baddies lurking about to spoil everyone’s fun. We’re talking about nasty Christmas villains here.

Pug Avengers to the Rescue!

Emerald Catron — Tue, 09 Oct 2012 16:02:32 +0000

This adorable video shows four pugs dressed up like the Avengers, or at least dressed up like the Avengers for as long as one can reasonably expect a pug to keep a costume on. If you have access to this many pugs and you aren't doing this with them, you're doing it wrong.
