The Real Cast of the Brady Bunch Led Extremely Tragic Lives Behind The Scenes

The Brady Bunch cast won the hearts of America with their poignant family relationships, '70s style and timeless life lessons. They are the TV equivalent of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on white bread, chased with a glass of milk. Has there ever been a show as wholesome, as precious and as widely loved? The Brady family certainly may be timeless – we've all caught the reruns on TV Land nearly 50 years after the fact – but it turns out, the real-life Bradys arent' so wholesome at all. In fact, they're straight up Jersey Shore wild, but sadly, it's not reality TV, it's real life (unless you're Peter Brady, and in that case, thank your lucky stars for VH1). Behind the scenes of The Brady Bunch, Brady brothers and sisters found themselves embroiled in high school love triangles or trad...

Pacific Rim: Uprising’ is an assault on the senses

Call the prosecutor! I want to charge the people behind the deafening man vs. machine actioner “Pacific Rim: Uprising” with assault and battery — on my senses. That includes my nose, which was offended by the odious odor emanating from this inferior sequel to Guillermo del Toro’s original. In the hands of director and co-writer Stephen S. DeKnight — and three more scribes — the insipid “Uprising” does nothing but pander to its Asian overseas markets with cool characters who speak Mandarin and to 11-year-old gamers with cool mechs sporting even cooler names like Gipsy Avenger, Saber Athena, Bracer Phoenix, Obsidian Fury and Guardian Bravo. Not even the charismatic duo of John Boyega (“Star Wars”) and Scott Eastwood (son of Clint) can save this hunk of molten metal from turning to slag. It...

Spielberg scores a lot of points with ‘Ready Player One’

Before making “Ready Player One,” Steven Spielberg had directed 30 feature films. There were ticket-selling triumphs (“Jaws”) and box office bombs (“The BFG”). There were somber studies of social issues (“The Color Purple”), haunting historical dramas (“Schindler’s List”), and science fiction flights of fancy (“A.I. Artificial Intelligence”). But it’s been a long time since Spielberg successfully latched on to the little kid inside of him and made a film that’s simply a bunch of fun, I’d say since “1941.” From its opening salvo of music — Van Halen’s “Jump” — to its last — “You Make My Dreams” by Hall & Oates — “Ready Player One” is a whirlwind celebration of fantasy versus reality and good versus evil, a salute to competitive spirit, youthful idealism, and pop culture. It’s also the ...

These Far-Out Fanny Scenes Will Always Be Timeless

The 70s were full of free love, and we love these bodacious booty clips from Pam Grier, Linnea Quigley, Goldie Hawn, Nastassja Kinski, and Bo Derek. Thanks to the magic of the Internet, we can watch them anytime we want. They may be vintage now, but these far-out fanny scenes will always be timeless.
