Inspired by the arrival of  Family Guy 's take on the infamous  Hallmark  Christmas movie, I thought I'd do what everybody else has already done; rank all of the show's Christmas episodes. Back in the day I was quite an avid viewer of this crazy cartoon. Somewhere around that last  Star Wars  episode  ( It's a Trap! ), however,  something changed. That comedic edge was somehow lost. Maybe the show had simply peaked. Who knows? But from that point on, Family Guy  no longer seemed as clever, or funny.  That said, on the odd occasion the Griffins have been known to bring a little festive cheer to their mad world. So, in the spirit of the holiday, I decided to watch all the Christmas episodes to see which ones are the most festive.   It's December. Every day is dark and cold! What else was I going to do? ︌ 13 The Return of the King (of Queens) We begin with an episode that isn't particularly festive. In fact, this could easily have not ...

For Movierob 's Genre Grandeur on Western Crossovers, I am looking at Seth MacFarlane's guide to surviving the old west for all those who aren't Clint Eastwood, A Million Ways To Die In The West. It follows Albert Stark (MacFarlane), a sheep herder on the frontier who seems to be the only person that sees the west for what it is; a dangerous, disease infested, unforgiving shit hole. "Hell, this was Miss America in 1880... ..."Holy Shit!"  After his girlfriend dumps him, Albert prepares to leave his hometown of Old Stump for San Francisco. But his plans are interrupted by the arrival of Anna (Charlize Theron), who shows him how to enjoy life. Unfortunately for Albert, Anna is married to Clinch Leatherwood (Liam Neeson), one of the most dangerous outlaws in the territory and he's none too happy about Albert spending time with his wife! The story for A Million Ways To Die In The West began as a joke between MacFarlane, Alec Sulkin and Welles...

Steven Soderbergh comes out of retirement to direct this Ocean's 11 style caper with rednecks. When down on his luck Jimmy Logan (Channing Tatum) loses his job, he decides to rob the Charlotte Motor Speedway during the Coca-Cola 600, one of the biggest races in the Nascar season. In order to pull it off, Jimmy ropes in his brother Clyde (Adam Driver), a veteran who lost his left hand in Iraq, his sister Mellie (Riley Keough) and safe cracker Joe Bang (Daniel Craig). The only problem, Joe is in prison, that and the Logan Family Curse, which according to Clyde only hits when things are starting to go right for the family. Logan Lucky is the first movie to be produced by Soderbergh's new company, Fingerprint Releasing. By selling the distribution rights, Soderbergh was able to fund the movie without the backing of a major studio. Thus allowing him to make the movie he wants without having to bow to the pressure of Hollywood big wigs. The result of which is a hilarious...
