FEATURE: Oscar nominee titles that can double as porn movies

The Oscars.  Another awards ceremony that you don’t really want to watch but do anyway.  To make things more interesting in our lives, we decided over a few shots of tequila what movie titles can actually double as porn titles.
Really.
The Blind Side
A romantic story about a janitor who inexplicably has an affair with the football [...]

CLASSIC MOVIE: Tron

CLASSIC MOVIE: Tron

Waaaay back in ancient history, 1982 to be precise, before everyone had an iPhone or a gaming system, yes, even before facebook, there was a movie made named Tron.  Oh, you’ve heard of it?  It was a great science fiction movie based on the premise that there was some kind of an almost human power [...]

CLASSIC MOVIES: Heat

You know a movie is a true ESM classic when the video game series Grand Theft Auto duplicates the bank robbery scene in one of its games.
From beginning to end, Heat delivers pulse-pounding excitement and constantly builds the on-par rivalry between Robert De Niro and Al Pacino.  Who cares if Val Kilmer has a horrible [...]

CLASSIC GARAGE: 1994 Porsche 964 Turbo 3.6

For anyone that saw the movie Bad Boys, you know this car.  Built in 1994, the Porsche 964 Turbo 3.6 could go from 0-60 in 3.4 seconds, had a top speed of 174 mph and is extremely rare (there were only 63 built at the time).
Here’s a little excerpt about the Porsche 964 from Wikipedia:
The [...]

ICON: Mike Lowery from Bad Boys

I think one of the qualifications for an ESM Icon is if Lil’ Wayne compares himself to you in his songs:
But I would like for u to pay me by the hOUr
And I’d rather be pushin flowers
Then to be in the pen sharin showers
Tony told us this world was ours
And the bible told us every [...]

CLASSIC MOVIES: Ocean’s 11

Ocean’s 11 is one of those movies that I appreciate more and more every time I watch it.  The outstanding cast, writing, directing and cinematography make it an instant classic.  The best part – it’s set entirely in Vegas.  Now what could be better than a high budget heist movie set in Vegas?  Not much.
Also [...]

ICON: Paul Newman

He may not have been dubbed the “King of Cool”, but Paul Newman definitely oozed style during his time.  He was an actor, director, entrepreneur, humanitarian, auto racer and generally was just an awesome dude.
Here’s a quick list enumerating his awesomeness:

He was in The Hustler and The Color of Money
He won national championships as a driver [...]

CLASSIC MOVIES: Ninja Assassin

What’s the best way to spend your Thanksgiving?  With ninjas.
That’s what we did this afternoon before the feasting festivities associated with today’s national holiday.  Ninja Assassin is 1 part Casino Royale, 2 parts Bourne Identity, 1 part Matrix, 2 shots of 300  and lot of gore and violence.
No really – you can pretty much see [...]

CLASSIC MOVIES: Mad Max

CLASSIC MOVIES: Mad Max

From the opening chase, Mad Max throws you into a twisted, pre-apocalyptic orgy of horsepower and violence.  This is the first movie in a pretty decent Australian-made trilogy including The Road Warrior and Beyond Thunderdome.
I saw The Road Warrior first, so understanding how Max went Mad was that much more rewarding.  The car chases hold [...]

ICON: Clive Owen as The Hire

So if you’re thinking to yourself the only reason I picked Clive Owen to be the next ESM Icon was to showcase more BMW Films, you would be partially right.
The other reasons are because he’s got a cool and calm demeanor, pretty good sense of style and (let’s be honest) when these movies came out all [...]
