HEADS UP: Last year we had Daniel Kitson join our Laughable Hype comedy show, and we've been eagerly awaiting his return to the states since then. Good news...he's back! We strongly urge you to buy tickets right now so you can catch the special performance on Monday at Mo Pitkins. These will go fast Sold out! But this just in...Kitson will also be performing at Union Hall this Sunday at 9pm (first come first served).......

I’ve seen some memorable entrances in my time as a theatergoer, but Patrick Leonard’s appearance at the start of La Vie is going to be hard to top. I’m reluctant to spoil the surprise, so let’s just say you’ll never know what hit you. Most of what follows in La Vie, the erotic existential circus currently running at the opulent Spiegeltent, is as surprising as Leonard’s entrance; it may not be a show to take......

We caught a commercial for Secrets of New York on Channel 25 last night and were intrigued by what the show has to offer. While the host looks like an extra from The Matrix, the subject matter is interesting. Exploring what lies beneath our feet and within our walls (there are probably way more Molly the cats than we even want to think about), New York’s oldest bridge, what secrets are buried in the......

What kind of show are you in the mood for this week? New York is probably the only city in the country where you have more options for different kinds of live theatrical productions than for movies. Whatever you’re feeling, there’s probably a show for you, something that’ll either keep you energized or give you a pleasantly confused buzz or shake you out of your pity party. When you’re deciding what to see, consider some......

Men's Journal has a list of the 50 "Best Movies For Guys," and they have the top ten online. Executive editor Mark Horowitz tells the Post, "True guy movies don't like to hit you over the head with their message. They just like to hit you over the head." 1. Dirty Harry 2. The Godfather 3. Scarface 4. Die Hard 5. The Terminator 6. The Road Warrior 7. The Dirty Dozen 8. The Matrix 9.......

The Post kicks off Radiohead's two nights at Madison Square Garden by talking to people who hate Radiohead but have been afraid to admit it because Radiohead are critically beloved and "cool." An entertainment editor says, "Hating Radiohead is the hipster's dirty little secret," and Spin writer Chuck Klosterman, though a fan, can understand the hate as well. "There's definitely now a symbolic value to saying you hate Radiohead - even Kid Rock makes a......

The vampire-werewolf movie, Underworld, looks like it was shot on leftover sets from The Matrix, not to mention copiously uses the bullet-time special effects The Matrix made popular. Even Kate Beckinsale's outfit cops the Trinity latex bodysuit. It's interesting to see Beckinsale in a more actiony, less bodicey, role, though, even as the undead. Scott Speedman (oh, Ben Covington) co-stars. See the Underworld trailer.......

As the natural, expected follow-up to yesterday's post about Best Movie Sex Scenes, Gothamist looks bad movie sex scenes. Using The Guardian's list based on reader opinion as a starting point, of course Gothamist agrees that the love scene between Neo and Trinity in The Matrix: Reloaded is ridiculous, but the very worst scene ever? Come on, at least these two leads are sexy and appealing, even if the context and Zion is stupid. Number......

Sex Change for Larry Wachowski?
Gothamist takes a look at the rumors surrounding the Matrix director's sexual identity....

In what the advertising and film worlds consider a rather ballsy move, Miramax has asked various car manufacturers for $35 million to feature their car in the upcoming Green Hornet movie, scheduled for summer of 2005. Of course, the Green Hornet has been in development heck for a long time, has no script or director, etc. The money would goes towards marketing the film, and Lori Sale of Miramax tells AdAge, "It has to be......

The news that Larry Wachowski left his wife for a dominatrix gives The Matrix trilogy a new subtext: The S&M reading of the film. Of course, people speculated that angle when the first film was released in 1999, but now it's more unavoidable than ever. Example: When Neo and Trinity share an intense, intimate moment, he's not holding her hand, he's holding her latex-gloved hand. Latex has always been hot: There are latex fetishists and......

First thoughts on the Matrix Reloaded
Gothamist thought that this was a great movie- but understands why you hate it. It's more challenging, and probably worse than the first one, but it's about as good as Kung Fu philosophy gets....

The Matrix Reloaded will be shown at the Cannes Film Festival this May. It will be shown out of competition on the same day it's released around the world, May 15. Official Matrix website......
