Liam Neeson does his best Leslie Nielsen in new The Naked Gun trailer

1 week ago | easy1029.com | Aaron Schachter

For those of you living under a rock (or who weren’t around in the late ’80s and early ’90s), the original Naked Gun trilogy, starring the incomparable Leslie Nielsen as the clueless but somehow effective Lieutenant Frank Drebin, is a masterclass in deadpan humor and slapstick absurdity. It’s a comedy gold standard, a series that still holds up remarkably well, and trying to recapture that magic is a seriously risky business.

Break out the lighters - here are the best power ballads of all time!

3 weeks ago | easy1029.com | Aaron Schachter

They’re majestic, often misunderstood, and undeniably awesome - but to most of us, they’re known as power ballads. Compiling a “best of” list is a Herculean task, an emotional rollercoaster, and pretty much guaranteed to start arguments, but dammit, someone’s gotta try. So, based on a deep dive into the hallowed halls of rock criticism (shoutout to Ultimate Classic Rock and Louder Sound) and the passionate debates of fans (hello, Reddit!), we’re ranking the greatest of all time.
Tom Cruise eats popcorn like a maniac and the internet is losing it

1 month ago | easy1029.com | Aaron Schachter

Tom Cruise: action hero, daredevil, a man who laughs in the face of death-defying stunts. You’d think a guy who can hang off the side of a plane could handle a simple bag of movie popcorn like a normal human being, right? Wrong. So very, very wrong. Apparently, Tom Cruise attacks a bucket of popcorn with the same laser-focused intensity he brings to saving the world, and the internet has collectively decided it’s both bizarre and deeply hilarious.

Gold Dust Memories: Fleetwood Mac’s game-changing debut was 50 years ago today

1 month ago | easy1029.com | Aaron Schachter

Fifty years ago today – a full half-century! – Fleetwood Mac played their very first show with the duo of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. It all went down in El Paso, Texas, back in 1975, and it’s safe to say the rock world was never quite the same. Before Stevie and Lindsey officially joined at the tail end of 1974, Fleetwood Mac was a well-respected British blues band, but they were also going through some serious lineup shuffles and, let’s be honest, a bit of an identity crisis.
