This week on Alcohollywood, we're getting in touch with our feminine sides with frequent guest Julia, as we cover the Drew Barrymore late-90s you-go-girl fairytale Ever After, costarring Anjelica Huston and Dougray Scott! This retelling of the Cinderella fable takes away all the magic and plops the story into a loose version of 16th-century France, complete with anachronistic Leonardo DaVinci and games of rock-paper-scissors.

This time around, young cinder girl Danielle (Barrymore) attempts to find love and assert her girl power while wooing the young Prince Henry (Scott) under the nose of wicked stepmother Rodmilla (Huston). Regardless of your gender, we've just got the magic potion to accompany your next viewing of this slice of 1990s cheese!

This week on Alcohollywood, we're giving you a double-dose of action with the French parkour thrill rides District B13 and District 13: Ultimatum! These mid-2000s French action pics, produced by Luc Besson, follow a cop (Cyril Raffaelli) and a thief (parkour co-founder David Belle) as they save the downtrodden residents of District 13, a walled-up ghetto in future Paris, from both overly-ambitious gangsters and an uncaring, homocidal dystopian government. Filled with wonderfully choreographed fight scenes and an unexpected dash of energy and humor, the District B13 series is definitely a great dose of Jackie Chan-esque kinetic thrills. In order to fuel your need for wall-jumps and crazy flips, we've got just the drink and rules to get you through these two films!

This week on Alcohollywood, we're delving into the world of Dirty Harry with his fifth, final and most unfortunate installment, The Dead Pool! Join hard-boiled detective Harry Callahan (a rapidly aging and crotchety Clint Eastwood) and his new Asian sidekick as they solve a series of murders related to a betting pool called The Dead Pool. Along the way, enjoy early roles from Patricia Clarkson (as Harry's reporter love interest), Liam Neeson (as an effete British director/prime suspect) and Jim Carrey (as a strung-out rock star who becomes one of the killer's first victims). This cop movie is mired in 80s excess, and a creaky Clint Eastwood; luckily, however, we've got the drink and the rules to get you through it - take a listen and hear our thoughts!

This week on Alcohollywood, we're headed back to our roots by tackling a Steven Spielberg film for the first time since our first episode! This time around, we're doing his very first movie, the made-for-TV thriller Duel, starring Dennis Weaver as a nebbish 1970s wimp dealing with the worst case of road rage imaginable - the unseen driver of a monstrous, murderous semi truck that seems to stop at nothing to terrorize him.

The result is either a wonderfully Expressionistic, abstract look at the nature of the rapidly emasculating man set against the road-trip atmosphere of the American 70s, or a sweet horror movie about man vs. truck, however you want to look at it! Whatever your perspective on the film, we've got the drink and the drinking game to spice up the proceedings, so start your engines!
