Original NES, Pagers, MixTapes? So Not The Wackness

Vintage Electronics and Tech in Sony's The Wackness

Yo, if you consider yourself any kind of Vintage Geek fan, then get thee to a theater to see The Wackness. Needless to say, I agree with Buzz's glowing review of the movie, but sitting in the theater, what was I cooing over more? The proliferation of mix tapes (I told you they were mad hot), the declaration of being loyal to cassettes, the boomboxes and — wait for it — blowing into a Read more

Deface the Internet for The Wackness Graffiti Throw Down

I can't wait to check out The Wackness to see what kind of 1994-era tech they might have, but the movie is giving us something else to do with its online Graffiti Throwdown contest! To promote the film, Brickfish has teamed with Sony to sponsor a contest that challenges participants to create their best web graffiti and title the piece "The Wackness." I've always shied away from making real Read more

The TV Addict has audio from chatting with Wentworth Miller and Sarah Wayne Callies at yesterday's TCA Prison Break-fast. Popwatch's Annie Barrett laments the fact that movies she'd like to see in the theater don't stick around the theaters long enough Read more

Buzz In: What Are the Worst On-Screen Kisses?

Worst Screen Kisses of All Time

After viewing The Wackness I had lots of nice overall feelings about the movie but one tiny little part of it still makes me go, "Eeesh!" And that would be the part where Mary-Kate Olsen makes out with Ben Kingsley. Yeah, that makeout session (because it's definitely more than a little peck!) gave me the opposite of warm-fuzzies inside. The romantic pairing up of old and young, sometimes given Read more

Mary-Kate Has Many Outfits For Every Red Carpet Occasion

Mary-Kate Olsen looked put together and pretty in white and a little more mussed up in a short flowered number at last night's NYC premiere of The Wackness. Can't blame her for the unbrushed hair when we can clearly see she just slipped out of one dress and into another. She missed the LA Film Festival premiere of the movie on Tuesday, but was happy to pose alongside her costars Olivia Thirlby Read more

Ben Kingsley Is the Man of the Hour

Ben Kingsley Is the Man of the Hour

Ben Kingsley has always been a man of many faces (and accents), but lately it seems like he's popping up in every movie (and every time with a different accent). I knew he was in War, Inc. with John Cusack, and in one of my Tribeca favorites, The Wackness. And then when I checked out the trailer for Elegy (which is mesmerizing only because Penelope Cruz is so smoking hot no matter what she does), Read more

Tribeca Review: The Wackness

Tribeca Movie Review: The Wackness

Previously, I'd mostly known The Wackness as that weird-looking Sundance movie in which an Olsen twin makes out with Ben Kingsley and which features a ton of pot smoking. While those things are true, I also gotta say I really liked this weirdo pot-smoking movie. I can easily see why The Wackness won the audience award at Sundance this year: it's funny, it's got that tender boy-grows-up storyline, Read more
