Cinemassholes #8: The Mattress Man from Punch-Drunk Love

Movie Feature | Ali | 6th January 2011

Cinemassholes? #8? What? Bear with me - I haven't updated this series since 2005, but I couldn't think of a more perfect place to share with you my love of The Mattress Man from Punch-Drunk Love. Previous cinemassholes included Brodie Bruce, Sean Bateman and The (Now Dead) Old Lady In Titanic. Bitch. You're up to speed. Let's go...

15 famous movie good guys who were also total dicks

Movie Feature | Phyllis | 9th September 2009

Ah, the Good Guy. In movies, he/she is usually played as clean-cut and wholesome. But when the truly enterprising writer goes above and beyond the call of duty, sometimes character flaws combine to make a Good Guy go bad. And sometimes they're just total assholes.

Cinemassholes #7: Lee Woo-Jin

Movie Feature | Chris | 19th August 2005

In all the annals of cinema, I can think of no single character that so perfectly embodies the term 'asshole' as does Lee Woo-Jin (Yu Ji-Tae), the main antagonist of director Park Chan-Wook's simmering and wholly disturbing revenge thriller, Oldboy. Lee Woo-Jin takes being an asshole to heights previously undreamt of. If being...

Cinemassholes #6: Sean Bateman

Movie Feature | Ali | 12th August 2005

Some families just ain't right. A week in the life of the Vorhees family would make for interesting reality TV, and you can guarantee the back yard of the Soprano's family home would certainly hold a few surprises. Add the Bateman family to that list. You have to feel for the parents in this case; not only must they turn a bl...

Cinemassholes #5: Ed Rooney

Movie Feature | | 3rd August 2005

Whether you call it skiving, twagging, dodging or bunking, the art of skipping school was one fraught with danger and not easily mastered by the average teen. At least, it was until the baby-faced Ferris Bueller decided he couldn't face gym class any more and convinced his friends to have the best damn day of their lives, givin...

Cinemassholes #4: The Old Lady In Titanic

Movie Feature | | 23rd July 2005

Like Edwin Starr said before he died: Old people, what are they good for? Absolutely nothing. I don't need to tell you that they all smell of stale biscuits and that they pretend to be deaf, at least until someone asks them to set the table. All they do is serve as a constant reminder that your hair is going to fall out, your...

Cinemassholes #3: Brodie Bruce

Movie Feature | Ali | 1st July 2005

Ever since I was young, numerous people - be they parents, teachers or employers - have told me I need to get my priorities straight. Brodie Bruce is a man who has his life in order, although perhaps not the order you or I may consider to be the norm. What comes first for New Jersey's most unruly inhabitant? Money? Job secur...

Cinemassholes #2: Roger Dodger

Movie Feature | | 10th June 2005

Amongst all the hoary old cliches you'll hear about the opposite sex, the only one that rings true is unfortunately the most unfair - girls love bastards. Think about it. How many times have you seen a truly beautiful woman on the arm of a speccy nerd, say, or an ugly comedian? Sense of humour my ass. Nope, the one thing tha...

Cinemassholes #1: Ricky Slade

Movie Feature | Ali | 1st March 2005

Vince Vaughn certainly has an eclectic bunch of misfits on his CV this far in his career, most notably the always money Trent (Swingers), the lounge-lizard villain Reese Feldman (Starsky & Hutch) and the sardonic but athletic Peter La Fleur (Dodgeball). What do all these characters have in common? Simple - they are the very es...
