Five For FRiday: One FRoment In Time

We are all sports.  And we remember.  Olympically.

Five For FRiday: 2012 @ the 1/2

As summer washes over the nation, drenching us all in sweat and superhero movies, FR look back at that year that was the year, so far.

Five For FRiday: Tipping Sacred Cows: Actors

FR love their movies, and they love actors.

They don’t love these actors.

Five For FRiday: Commercial Appeal

Commercials.  An integral necessity of broadcast art, an incessant interruption throughout any sporting event of note.  In this era of economic lethargy, they’re even more a reminder that near none of us have the wherewithal to possess the consumer goods we desire–desires driven, of course, in immense part by those very ads.  But sometimes the medium transcends the meaning.  On occasion, we can’t help but be entertained, though we know we’re being sold.  On rarer occasion, we’re genuinely startled, be it to laughter or genuine emotion, or basic admiration for the stylistic talent on display.  It’s a tricky business, the business of advertising.  With that in mind, FR this week highlight those commercials that stuck in the craw.  Somewhere, on hiatus between seasons, Don Draper is taking notes.

Five For FRiday: The Bar Is A Beautiful Place

Nathan is off of the grid this week due to a parapsychological expedition in the Canadian federal territory of Nunavut, but Travis and Tyler are here to keep your Friday Fived.  This week, your boys break down the best places for a brew or adult beverage, food optional, cig-allowance ideal, comfort paramount.  Read on, dear readers, and raise yours up.

Five For FRiday: Sporting Farewells

It’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday, not least when you love sports and some kind of favorite is bidding adieu.  This past week, career-long Detroit Red Wing Nicklas Lidstrom announced his departure from the ice.  Hockeytown native Nathan and NHL obsessive Travis both were moved by this development.  That in mind, FR offer here the ends of careers that struck them somehow, as heroes, admired competitors, and others left the arena.  There’s something about sports.  Written by the FRarrely brothers.

Five For FRiday: Sequelitis Part II

Last week, FR broke down their favorite sequels.  This week, more of the same–except, the opposite.  These are terrible, terrible movies.  Yippee ka’yay, mother<gunshot>.

Five For FRiday: Sequelitis

FR continue their summer-inspired obsession with blockbuster movies.  This week?  Sequels.  The best of the best.  Starring Eric Roberts.  Not really.

Five For FRiday: Blockbuster Video

Wow!  What a difference!  By which we mean: the summer season of cinema dawned Friday with the release (and mauling box-office success) of The Avengers, ushering in months of major releases designed to make lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of money, generally by including explosions, boorish humor, or some combination of both.  Here at FR, though, even snot-nosed cineastes Nathan and Tyler find diamonds in the rough of the summer slate; herein the pair reveal their most anticipated flicks of the swarthy weeks ahead.

Five For FRiday: FRiday The 13th

Tyler decided to take a tour of the Holy Lands this weekend, leaving Nathan and Travis to pick out their favorite horror films on this most evil of calendar days.
