The film documents the last concert to be played at the old warhorse stadium built in the 1920s (when it was called Philadelphia Municipal Stadium), decrepit and literally falling apart during the concert, with scary bathrooms. Six days later, on July 13, 1989, it was condemned by …More]]> http://hightimes.com/entertainment/mmiller/6394?utm_source=rss_section_ Thu, 22 Apr 2010 15:22:36 -0400 http://hightimes.com/entertainment/mmiller/6394?utm_source=rss_section_ Mark Miller More]]> http://hightimes.com/entertainment/rick/6367?utm_source=rss_section_ Tue, 20 Apr 2010 17:42:27 -0400 http://hightimes.com/entertainment/rick/6367?utm_source=rss_section_ Richard Cusick Breaking Upwards is the brain child of real life couple and co-stars Daryl Wein and Zoe Lister Jones.

Wes Anderson's newest movie follows the success of Pixar's animated films and the recent release of Spike Jonze's Where The Wild Things Are. While Mr. Fox is just as funny and entertaining as those films, it shouldn't be seen as following a trend. While all these films address serious issues while entertaining th …More]]> http://hightimes.com/blog/mabrams/6080?utm_source=rss_section_ Tue, 15 Dec 2009 14:41:08 -0500 http://hightimes.com/blog/mabrams/6080?utm_source=rss_section_ Max Abrams By Valerie Vande Panne “Well, I went to public school,” director Cevin Soling explains, when I ask him why he made his latest documentary, The War on Kids. The documentary is divided into eight painful lessons on the horrors of public education, each a strong, succinct arguments against the US school system. No wonder Stephen Colbert advised kids watching his show to skip school and go see it. Lesson One explores the origin and legacy of “Zero …More]]> http://hightimes.com/entertainment/ht_admin/6065?utm_source=rss_section_ Sun, 06 Dec 2009 18:49:02 -0500 http://hightimes.com/entertainment/ht_admin/6065?utm_source=rss_section_ HT Admin A Serious Man should help put those ideas to rest. The film is constantly dealing with the big questions in life: Why am i here? Why are these things happening to me? What should I be doing with my life? How does God speak to us? But at its core the film is an ironic, often dark, comedy. Using the world they were brought up in …More]]> http://hightimes.com/entertainment/mabrams/5954?utm_source=rss_section_ Thu, 22 Oct 2009 16:28:28 -0400 http://hightimes.com/entertainment/mabrams/5954?utm_source=rss_section_ Max Abrams More]]> http://hightimes.com/entertainment/mikeg_ht/2536?utm_source=rss_section_ Thu, 06 Dec 2007 16:07:25 -0500 http://hightimes.com/entertainment/mikeg_ht/2536?utm_source=rss_section_ mikeg_ht By Brian Abrams In 1998, Wes Anderson was critically lauded for his prep school slacker flick Rushmore, and it all went downhill from there. Ever since, the writer/director has puked up the most pretentious and annoying movies onto the big screen, and they get worse every time. More than a decade ago, when Wes Anderson teamed up with Luke and Owen Wilson to shoot his quirky debut Bottle Rocket, the Texas trio made a pretty funny and charming buddy comedy out of it. With …More]]> http://hightimes.com/entertainment/babrams/2448?utm_source=rss_section_ Tue, 16 Oct 2007 12:44:57 -0400 http://hightimes.com/entertainment/babrams/2448?utm_source=rss_section_ Brian Abrams Knocked Up wasn't enough feel-good smut for one summer, its teenage follow-up Superbad should do the trick. It's hellish enough not just to appease us vulgarians for the rest of the year but to join the raunchy ranks of knee-slapping classics like Bad Santa and The Aristocrats. The flick isn't anything more than a pair of near-nerd status high schoolers named Seth and Evan (Jonah Hill and Michael Cera – whose characters are …More]]> http://hightimes.com/entertainment/ht_admin/2364?utm_source=rss_section_ Thu, 16 Aug 2007 13:23:19 -0400 http://hightimes.com/entertainment/ht_admin/2364?utm_source=rss_section_ HT Admin By Brian Abrams In an interview last year on NPR, Artie Lange said “The Howard Stern Show is a hit because it entertains dumb and smart people at the same time for different reasons.” He went on to cite The Simpsons as another show that masters this double-natured brand of humor.
