Jimmy Butler and Miles Brown Have Their Own Freaky Friday Experience


In this Funny or Die sketch, Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jimmy Butler and Blackish actor Miles Brown sit down for a fun little interview. But what starts off as a normal chat quickly turns sinister as the pair trade bodies in what appears to be some kind of Freaky Friday situation. But I don't know, I've never seen this sort of thing before, have you?

RIP, Anton Yelchin




I first saw Anton Yelchin in the movie Charlie Bartlett, which introduced me not to just a terrific actor, but also to a delightfully catchy song by the Eels that played while the end credits rolled. Yelchin died early Sunday morning at the age of 27, when his car rolled backwards and pinned him against a mailbox pillar and a security gate at his Studio City home. It seems like a freak accident and is yet another reminder of the frailty of life, so go out there and live it to the fullest.

Yelchin also starred in movies like Alpha Dog and Terminator Salvation, but he was most well known for his role as Chekov in the Star Trek movies directed by JJ Abrams. Here's a compilation of some of Chekov's best moments, demonstrating why Yelchin truly was a pleasure to watch on the big screen.

Matthew McConaughey Makes a Lot of Weird Noises


Owenergy Studios, the good people who brought us the "Owen Wilson Says Wow" supercut, is back at it again with another tremendous compilation. This time it's Matthew McConaughey, who's busy making crazy noises in all of his movies. Acting at its finest. Enjoy!

Wichita State Shockers Star in Delightfully Cheesy Commercial


Wichita-based Carlos O'Kelly's features Tex-Mex and what looks like some delightful queso. So delightful, in fact, that former Wichita State basketball player Ron Baker resorts to double dipping in order to get maximum enjoyment.

However, that rubs his dining partners, teammates Fred Van Vleet and Evan Wessel, the wrong way. They call Baker out for the double dip, and...well, let's go to the monitor to see the results.

James Corden Reenacts Sports Movies With Anna Kendrick, Zac Efron and Adam Devine




The Late Late Show With James Corden enjoyed an enormous audience of about five million in its episode after Super Bowl 50. And, taking advantage of the situation, Corden brought along a trio of stars to act out some famous sports movies with him. He's joined by Anna Kendrick, Adam Devine and Zac Efron to relive a few of our favorite films, including multiple Rocky films, Chariots of Fire and The Bad News Bears. How'd they do? Well, you'll just have to watch the video to find out.

1994 Vin Diesel Really Loves Street Sharks




Vin Diesel has made a career of utilizing his deep voice to portray tough guys. Starring in movies like every Fast and Furious ever and XXX, Diesel is a familiar face onscreen.

What you may not know is that, back in the mid-90s, Diesel was starring in very different roles. "Lost footage" of his appearance at a toy fair has just surfaced, and he is pitching Street Sharks like nobody's business. When he encourages you to "say hello to that round mound of pound," you better listen.

Drunk Acting With Chris Pratt




GQ, my favorite way to take a picture, has a feature on Chris Pratt in their most recent issue. And as a little bonus for us video-watching types, he released a heavily-branded-with-Fireball-whiskey snippet of acting lessons. Said lessons are given to us while Pratt is drunk off said Fireball whiskey. In typical Chris Pratt fashion, it's fantastic. Well done.

Carly Rae Jepsen's "I Really Like You" Music Video Is All Kinds of Adorable




Carly Rae Jepsen's "I Really Like You" is a catchy nod to some of the 80s biggest hits, but more importantly, it has a fantastic music video. Tom Hanks, who happens to be the singer's favorite actor, stars as he wanders around town while lip-syncing the song. His words are not always on point, but I think that makes things even better. King Bach makes an appearance too as a hairdresser. Love those Vines! Not even a Justin Bieber sighting at the end of the video can ruin it. Well done, Carly Rae. Well done.

Tom Hanks And James Corden Recreate Every Tom Hanks Movie In 8 Minutes


 

Tom Hanks is one of the great actors of our time. And James Corden wanted to use his new show to showcase that. The duo pair up for a pretty entertaining seven-ish minutes of acting out every Hanks movie. I'm sure there are a couple missing from the list, but they nailed all the big ones. And that's the most important thing.

Actor Christopher Lee Releases Heavy Metal Christmas Album


This is a sign to never let age get in the way of your dreams, kids. Actor Christopher Lee, who's appeared in The Lord of the Rings, Dracula, Star Wars, and a host of other movies, is releasing Darkest Carols, Faithful Sing, a heavy metal album he recorded with Hedras Ramos. This is actually Lee's third heavy metal album; last year's "Jingle Hell" reached No. 18 on the Billboard charts.

Oh yes, Lee was 91 years old when that happened. NINETY-ONE! The oldest charting artist ever. Just incredible. Check out a sample of the new record below, from the now 92-year-old actor.
