There are many Star Wars parodies made over the years and this by far is one of the best. Family Guy: Blue Harvest, follows the Episode IV timeline but with added twist and hilarious one liners by original Family Guy cast plus other well known actors and actresses and Rush Limbaugh…as himself. Yikes! Other stars who lend their voices are: Seth Green who played Chris Griffin, Mila Kunis (That 70’s Show) as Meg Griffin, The Griswalds played by Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo, Leslie Nielsen (Naked Gun) as Dr. Rumack and a whole lot more! This is definately a must see and a must own movie. I haven’t seen many Family Guy episodes, but after watching this movie… I think I might start collecting the series.

Variety reports that Paul Verhoeven is set to direct a sequel to the 1999 Thomas Crown Affair. Pierce Brosnan will return to the classy thief role, but will not be joined by Rene Russo, his love interest in the first film. The sequel supposedly takes place in Europe and the Middle East and involve Crown in a “centuries-old feud” where he weighs how much he wants to “risk for love.” Although that sounds very typical romantic caper, the first movie seemed to deliver well, so hopefully this one will follow suit.

So what does MI6 have in store for us? Are they keeping Craig as our favorite techno gadget babe magnet? Why don’t we take a stroll through headquarters and take a peek at what’s to come? (more…)
