Mad Max's Weekend Movie Guide: 'Pain & Gain' & More
"The last three or four reps is what makes the muscle grow. This area of pain divides the champion from someone else who is not a champion." –Arnold Schwarzenegger

New on DVD and Blu-ray: 'Hyde Park on Hudson' and More

Bill Murray Makes Greatest Letterman Entrance EVER!
CBS
Now we wish Bill Murray was an Oscar contender every year, since he's apparently pulling out all the stops while out promoting his performance as FDR in "Hyde Park on Hudson."
Case in point: The man's wild entrance on "Late Night With David Letterman" last night. When Letterman introduced him, they cut to a vehicle pulling up outside the Ed Sullivan Theater where two suspicious looking gentlemen in suits pulled Murray out of the trunk with a black bag over his head and then forced the comedian into his guest spot with a tazer.

The 38 Roles for Which Bill Murray Was Snubbed by the Oscars
Focus Features
In 2003, William James Murray (better known to those who haven't spent hours reading his Wikipedia page as Bill Murray) starred in Sofia Coppola's "Lost in Translation," a poignant, somber romantic comedy that spotlighted the budding relationship between an aging film star (Murray) and the lonely wife of a photographer (Scarlett Johansson) in Tokyo. Murray was nominated for an Oscar for said performance, but he ultimately lost to Sean Penn's turn in "Mystic River."
At one point, he also did the Garfield movies.
But herein lies the massive injustice. Bill Murray should have been nominated for an Academy Award for every other movie he's done. There. We said it. The following is a comprehensive list of Murray movies where the Academy unconscionably overlooked his performance, starting from the very beginning of his illustrious career. Get More »
