The Other Premiere
Posted 8/6/2010 3:50:00 PM
It was a madhouse in Chersterfield yesterday as Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg flew in to Saint Louis to host The Other Premiere for their new action comedy The Other Guys.
I've only been to one other red carpet premiere here in Saint Louis, when Will Smith stopped by to promote Seven Pounds. You can see my brief question to him by clicking HERE.
It's funny to see that clip because the movie he talks about remaking (Oldboy) is now not going to happen at all. Which may be a good thing.
Smith was super cool in person, very kind and generous, so I hoped for the same thing from Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg as they walked the red carpet talking to fans and media.
Ferrell was very subdued, ...
St. Louis Wins!

WE WON! ST. LOUIS WILL HOST 'THE OTHER PREMIERE' WITH WILL FERRELL AND MARK WAHLBERG WALKING THE RED CARPET THIS THURSDAY!
That's right Saint Louis, we voted more than any other city to host the premiere of Will and Mark's new comedy. I'll be there next to the red carpet, hopefully able to ask Will and Mark a few questions. I'll tell you all about it on this Saturday's Max on Movies show of course. I'll be Tweeting about it too, so please follow me @MaxOnMovies if you wanna get the scoop!
And...you're all invited to come to the Galaxy 14 Cine (in Chesterfield) this Thursday beginning at 5pm to see Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg walk the red carpet!
For more information, here is the official press release:

All That Glitters Is Not Goldie

This weekend, Steve Carrell and Paul Rudd's new film Dinner for Schmucks opens. I was looking forward to the film after seeing the funny trailer, but was dissapointed with the flick.
You can hear my in-depth review this weekend on Max on Movies, which airs Saturdays from 2p-4p here on FM News Talk 97.1 and you can find the show on iTunes as well.
If you want the latest breaking film news and up-to-the-second reviews, please follow me on Twitter @Max On Movies!
Speaking of Dinner for Schmucks, it's our intern Goldie's last day. Hard to believe his three months with us went by so slow - I mean - fast.
Our new intern Andrew (nickname TBD) starts with us on Monday, and while he may prove to be a hard worker I doubt he will be able to entertain us (in a totally unintentional way) as ...
RED trailer
Posted 7/23/2010 1:55:00 PM
Here's the new trailer that premiered at Comic Con for RED, starring Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, Mary Louise Parker, Karl Urban, Helen Mirren, and John Malkovich.
Like a lost of films these days it's based on a comic book, but unlike those other films this one has Helen Mirren. With a gun. A big gun.
RED opens on October 15th, so mark your calendar now.
On today's Glover Show I'll review Angelina Jolie in her new thriller Salt, and Saturday on Max on Movies (2p-4p) I'll review The Losers, The Runaways, Batman: Under the Red Hood, and of course we'll talk more about this year's biggest puzzle piece, Inception.
In the meantime please follow me on Twitter, I post all kinds of movie news and reviews and it's a great way for us movie fans to stay in touch.

Staycation
Posted 7/16/2010 3:25:00 PM
I'll be taking off the next few days for a so-called staycation, so I won't be able to update this blog until late next week.
I can tell you to rush out and see Christopher Nolan's Inception, if you enjoy puzzles that have no clear solution. And I do, cinematically speaking. Remember to follow me on Twitter @MaxOnMovies to get the latest movie news!
Because I'll be out a few days I thought I would leave you with a video you will no doubt watch millions of times, as it is also a puzzle with no clear solution.
I'm speaking of the riddle of our intern Golde's Ping Pong Championship video. (Should 'Ping Pong' be capitalized? I'm going to go ahead and capitalize it.)
A few days (maybe hours) after Golde won his internship with the DGS, he showed Associate Producer Jon Wier and I this video, which prompted Jon ...
A-List
Posted 7/15/2010 2:00:00 PM
Well tonight I'm going to an event that couldn't be more different than the Jersey County Fair - I'll be going with Dave and Tom to the Saint Louis Magazine A-List Awards event in the Central West End.
The Dave Glover Show was selected by the readers of STL Mag as their favorite radio show for 2010, which means we get the VIP treatment tonight.
Thanks to everyone who voted for our show.
Of course I'll also be reviewing it this Saturday on Max on Movies, along with The Bounty Hunter and The Sorcerer's Apprentice.
And I'll give away a copy of The Losers.
Woo Hoo Yay!
Just call me Simon Cowell

When was the last time you went to a county fair? It's a huge honkin' slice of Americana. Grab a corn dog, a lemonade, and you're all set.
Last night I had the opportunity to be a celebrity judge for the 15th annual Jersey County Fair in Illinois. I've never done anything like it before and it was a great deal of fun.
Being behind the scenes at one of these shindigs is a trip. It was me, a few other radio jacks, and some Rams Cheerleaders. The talent show we judged had a variety of acts ranging from piano players, vocal solos, and dance routines.
I was struck by some of these small town kids who were truly talented!
Some of my favorite performers didn't place, so I wanted to give them a shout-out here.
I was very impressed with Kara Hecker's original song, which I ...
