You might as well call the 2000s the decade of the parodies. You had hilariously funny parodies such as the Scary movie series, Date Movie, Epic Movie, Meet the Spartans, Superhero Movie and Tropic Thunder all come out during this time period. And we can't forget about one of the most memorable parodies of them all, Not Another Teen Movie. This film is currently streaming on Netflix, and we can't wait to rewatch it!
Not Another Teen Movie is a teen parody movie that was directed by Joel Gallen from a screenplay co-written by Michael G. Bender, Adam Jay Epstein, Andrew Jacobson, Phil Beauman, and Buddy Johnson. It was released in theaters by Sony Pictures Releasing in December 2001, ultimately grossing a worldwide total of $66.5 million against a $15 million budget.

A couple of months ago, Paramount and Miramax announced that they are reviving the Scary Movie horror parody series to bring a Scary Movie 6 to theatres sometime in 2025 – so we felt this was the perfect time to give the first movie in the franchise, the 2000 release Scary Movie (watch it Here), the Revisited treatment. You can hear all about it in the video embedded above!
Directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans from a screenplay written by the team of Shawn Wayans, Marlon Wayans, Buddy Johnson, Phil Beauman, Jason Friedberg, and Aaron Seltzer, Scary Movie has the following synopsis: Defying the very notion of good taste, Scary Movie out-parodies the pop culture parodies with a no-holds barred assault on the most popular images and talked-about moments from recent films, television and commercials. The film boldly fires barbs at the classic scenes from Scream, The Sixth Sense, The Matrix, I Know What You Did Last Summer,...

Eleven years have gone by since the release of a new entry in the Scary Movie horror parody series – but the franchise isn’t going to remain dormant for much longer. Deadline reports that the Miramax label at Paramount, which is now operating under new boss Jonathan Glickman, has given the greenlight to a new Scary Movie sequel, with the plan being to get the film into theatres sometime in 2025. If any writers or a director are attached to the project, they weren’t named in this announcement.
Directed by In Living Color creator Keenen Ivory Wayans from a screenplay written by a bunch of people, the first Scary Movie was released by Dimension Films back in 2000. Scary Movie 2 was released in 2001, and the Wayans remained at the head of the creative team for that one. Keenen Ivory Wayans directed it from a screenplay credited to Shawn Wayans, Marlon Wayans,...

The Rolling Stones’ No Filter tour continues.
Announced in 2017, the legendary rock band is preparing to return to the stages after taking a break for over two years. The last tour date they performed was November 23, 2021, in Hollywood, Florida.
The tour has faced quite a bit of setbacks. In March 2019, frontman Mick Jagger had to undergo a heart operation, postponing that year’s North American leg of the tour. Then in 2020, much like the rest of the world, the Covid-19 pandemic forced another North American leg postponement. The following year, drummer Charlie Watts had to sit out the rest of 2021 tour dates due to a reported heart surgery. Watts died that year on August 24.
The English rock band hasn’t been on tour since 2021. The upcoming tour in April will be the first tour since Watts’ death.
The No Filter tour will include stops in cities like Seattle, Denver and Los Angeles.

The most radical thing a jazz singer could do in 2018 is stick to the basics. One might expect Cécile McLorin Salvant, who picked up Best Jazz Vocal Album Grammys for each of her past two albums and is riding a wave of mainstream acclaim, to team with a buzzy producer or attempt some other kind of savvy crossover. But on The Window, the wise, virtuosic and subtly subversive 29-year-old singer opts for a setting so stark it can almost seem abstract: For the majority of this part-studio, part-live LP, she...

Scary Movie 3
Opens
Friday, Oct. 24
Determined once again to leave no deserving target unspoofed, Dimension Film's wildly successful Scary Movie franchise is back in business.
With the Wayans brothers having packed it in after the reviled Scary Movie 2, it made perfect sense to recruit David Zucker, the man responsible for those three wacky Naked Gun movies and, with brother Jerry and Jim Abrahams responsible for that highly revered granddaddy of all spoofers, namely 1980's Airplane!
The result is a kinder, gentler brand of parody (as evidenced by the series' first non-R rating) and, for a while there, Zucker and his former writing partner Pat Proft, along with Craig Mazin, look to have tapped into some of that old ZAZ magic.
That is, until it becomes apparent that the same three or four gags are endlessly recycled throughout, and after awhile, yet another crippling blow to the crotch somehow loses its impact.
Still -- though the final take won't come anywhere close to the $157 million scared up by the first installment -- given that PG-13 rating, Scary Movie 3 should have no trouble pulling in sizable young audiences while there's probably still enough of the gross-out element to appeal to fans of the purely puerile.
Morphing the plot lines of The Ring, Signs and that scary 8 Mile, with bits of The Matrix Reloaded and The Others thrown in for good measure, "SM3" kicks off with an amusing prologue in which Pamela Anderson and Jenny McCarthy send up the start of The Ring while having fun with their very blonde images.
Meanwhile a TV reporter (Anna Faris), who has her hands full covering an alien invasion at a farm belonging to Charlie Sheen, stumbles upon a killer videotape that has already claimed the life of her prescient son's (Drew Mikuska)'s schoolteacher (Regina Hall) while striking up a relationship with a white wannabe rap star (Simon Rex) who dreams of having a dream.
In the course of her investigation, she meets up with the Oracle, aka Aunt ShaNeequa (Queen Latifah), Orpheus (Eddie Griffin) and the Architect (George Carlin), and along the way the likes of Denise Richards (in a sick but funny flashback sequence with real-life husband Sheen), Camryn Manheim, Anthony Anderson, Jeremy Piven, D.L. Hughley, Macy Gray, Ja Rule, Master P, Redman, Method Man and the Coors Twins join in the shenanigans.
There are some true moments of inspiration to be found here, including a restaging of the "rap-off" sequence from 8 Mile, which turns out to be judged by none other than American Idol sourpuss Simon Cowell.
Then there's also that goof on The Others, in which Sheen takes the white veil off his oddly acting daughter only to find a shrieking Michael Jackson (Edward Moss), which would have been funnier had it not already been shown a hundred times in all those TV clips.
But by the time Leslie Nielsen is trotted out to reprise his old Naked Gun shtick in the guise of a befuddled U.S. president, the slapsticky formula has long passed its comic expiration date and Scary Movie 3 ends up committing the spoof genre's worst crime: becoming a tired parody of itself.
