Announcing the next round: The Seven Deadly Sins, suggested by oilgun.

In his words:

"The seven deadly sins:  Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy & Pride.

A movie has to feature one of these sins, either in the title or as a main plot element."


I think this sounds challenging, but we should be up to it!

Movies from 1888-2013 can be played. Unplayed movies only, as usual. Wildcard X is in effect.

Have fun!

It took a long time for me to like Ben Stiller again after seeing him in this, lol!

I am not very good at this, but I figure with a mutiny there has to be some WRATH involved!

Greed, Wrath and Envy in spades!



Rainbow Randolph (Williams) enjoys his life and career as a happily corrupt children's television show host, until he is caught by a federal sting for accepting bribes from parents who want their children on the show. He is soon replaced by the "squeaky clean", but sappy, Sheldon Mopes, and his character, Smoochy the Rhino (Norton) (a parody of Barney the Dinosaur). Randolph finds himself unemployed and homeless, virtually outcast from television by his two-faced associate Marion Stokes (Stewart), a slimy TV executive. In an effort to return to his life in the spotlight, Randolph develops several schemes to bring down Sheldon Mopes in hopes to reclaim his timeslot.
