5 Comedy Icons As Comic Book Superheroes
Paramount
Comedic stars come and go. Some prove a flash in the pan, while others ride a good streak before their schtick eventually fizzles out. Only a select few reach legendary status in Hollywood.
In celebration of tonight's airing of the 2012 Comedy Awards on Comedy Central, our mate Old Red Jalopy designed these five faux comic book covers illustrating how we view five of these such icons: as heroes. Get More »

10 of This Summer's Blockbusters Re-Imagined as Indies
NextMovie
Summer movies season is all about the blockbusters -- action movies with fist fights and guns blaring. Ch-ching!
But blockbusters aren't the only kind of movies at the multiplex this summer; they share space alongside quieter, more critically acclaimed fare. And let's face it, inside every loud, attention-grabbing, big-budget action movie, there's also a sensitive indie just wanting to get out. Right?
That's how we like to think of it, anyway. With our friend Old Red Jalopy, we've put a spin on 10 summer blockbusters to picture them as smaller, less explosion-heavy films instead. After all, it's not such a huge leap to see "The Avengers" as a moodily dysfunctional family, or Sylvester Stallone as an aging soldier contemplating the limits of his own mortality (with or without guns).

Proof That Meryl Streep Could Play Anyone
NextMovie
Another Academy Awards, another nomination (and win!) for Meryl Streep, this time for channeling legendary British prime minister Margaret Thatcher in "The Iron Lady" (on DVD and Blu-ray this week). It's just the latest bravura performance from Streep, who has played Julia Child, a fashion editor based on Anna Wintour, a Polish survivor of the Holocaust and union activist Karen Silkwood -- not to mention a Danish writer, a nun and a grieving Australian mother. Plus, she once costarred with Roseanne Barr.
Is there anything Meryl Streep can't do? Clearly the answer is "no."
So why couldn't our First Lady of Cinema play former First Lady Hillary Clinton? Or even some of the most esteemed and notorious men in history? Leave it to Old Red Jalopy to envision Meryl Streep in every biopic ever to be made. Cue seven more Oscar nominations. Get More »

8 Badass Movie Easter Eggs
NextMovie
The Easter Bunny arrives this Sunday, April 8! Though it's actually a religious holiday, our favorite part of Easter has always been painting Easter eggs (well, and eating Peeps until we throw up).
But this year, maybe it's time to get a little more ... interesting with your artwork.
Courtesy of Old Red Jalopy, we present eight movie-inspired Easter eggs that have just a little bit more edge than your standard variety stripes and polka dots. The Easter Bunny won't know what hit him.

9 Movie Baseball Cards
NextMovie
With a new season upon us this week, we here at NextMovie are reminded of how we used to collect packs of baseball cards and store them in shoeboxes. (People still do that, right?)
Baseball movie ... baseball cards ... say, wait a minute!
With the help of heavy hitter Old Red Jalopy, we proudly present our own line of movie baseball cards, highlighting some of the baddest batters and hurlers from the big screen.
Print 'em, trade 'em, put 'em on your wall! Bubblegum not included.

Deep Thoughts With Morgan Freeman: The Mashup
When you see Morgan Freeman, maybe you see God. Or the president of the United States. Or Nelson Mandela, or a kindly old convict, chauffeur, boxing trainer or superhero's business manager. Because he's played all those roles, and he always seems to have the answers to everything, doesn't he? And that voice! We'd buy a bag of broken light bulbs if he only narrated the commercial.
Everything out of Morgan Freeman's mouth not only sounds wise, it IS wise -- and we have proof in this video compilation of every deep, life-changing line the man ever said. Get busy watching this mashup, or get busy dying.
Movies Included (Click to Buy):
Glory | The Bucket List | Evan Almighty | March of the Penguins | Feast of Love | Dreamcatcher | Invictus | Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves | Amistad | Moll Flanders | Unleashed | Edison Force | Along Came a Spider | The Shawshank Redemption | An Unfinished Life | 10 Items of Less | Deep Impact | Bruce Almighty | Wanted | Lean on Me | Million Dollar Baby | The Big Bounce | The Power of One | Seven | Levity | Driving Miss Daisy

6 Craigslist Ads for Movie Babysitters
20th Century Fox
In "The Sitter" (now on DVD and Blu-ray) Jonah Hill has his hands full when he takes on a babysitting gig and ends up running all over New York City with his charges in tow.
Just a guess, but it's possible that the kids' parents didn't quite have that in mind when they hired him. Perhaps they would have done better looking for a sitter on Craigslist? Based on these ads that other fictional babysitters might have posted -- helpfully provided by our friend Old Red Jalopy -- well, hmm, maybe not.
