If you thought that drinking games were invented in recent years by students playing ring of fire, Roxanne and beer pong, you’d be very wrong. Our boozy ancestors and their inebriated friends have been playing with alcohol since ancient times. Forget suited gentlemen sipping brandy over a civilized game of chess. The drinking games of yore were messy, silly, violent, bizarre and completely irresponsible. Some games were lighthearted fun and should definitely be reintroduced to pre-drinking rituals, but others were testosterone-fuelled competitive displays of manliness (sound familiar?). It’s difficult to believe that anything could be more foolish than the notorious neknomination craze that hit everyone’s Facebook pages not so long ago, but at least that didn’t involve slicing off body parts or drinking blood (at least, we hope no one went that far).
It’s amazing that any progress at all happened when our predecessors...

With the arrival of the WWE Network comes a vast library of wrestling programming. With so much content to choose from now is the perfect time to play some wrestling drinking games.
Drinking rules have become extremely popular when watching films or television programs and sporting events, especially amongst students, so it seems only natural to take a look at some fun special rules that can be applied when watching professional wrestling.
There are some generic rules that can be used for any period of wrestling or company such as drinking when a finisher is hit or when a referee misses some chicanery but this article will focus on more specific rules that can be applied for extra drinking fun. The list is in no particular order and more suggestions are encouraged in the comments section, some may even get featured in a future follow-up article.

The European Film Market will be showing hundreds of films this year, throughout the month of February. One of the horror titles in appearance is the hilariously titled Zombeavers. This film crosses a plague with these vicious aquatic mammals. From the producers of American Pie and Red Eye (Chris Bender, J.C. Spink), a trailer is available for Zombeavers. The clip shows the usual college kids on a quiet retreat. However, something very unusual is waiting for them in the waters - Zombeavers! Drinking games and skinny dipping is replaced with terror and bloodshed. Watch at your own peril (and try not to laugh). Epic Pictures is handling sales for the film. And, distribution is sure to be found soon as Zombeavers blends comedy and horror in an effective manner. Release Date: Tba. Director: Jordan Rubin. Cast: Bill Burr, Cortney Palm, Hutch Dano, Jake Weary, Lexi Atkins, Peter Gilroy and Rachel Melvin.

Drinking games have the power to make bad movies good and good movies even better. But if you're trying to keep up drink-for-drink with the pros in some of the better-known drinking movies in cinema history, you may soon find yourself in full-on shutdown mode.
We checked out the drinking stats of "The Spectacular Now" and "The World's End" — two new movies that are mega-high on the booze intake — as well as some time-tested drinking favorites to show you just how much drinking you'd have to do to keep up in a round of "they drink on screen, we drink at home."
We've even gotten all mathematical with it, with a scoring breakdown that looks like this:
Sips: 1 Point
Cheers: 1 Point
Chugs: 5 Points
Shots: 5 Points
Oh yeah, and for goodness' sake, kids, drink along with your favorite movies responsibly.

In breaking the heart of Des Hartsock during last night’s episode of The Bachelorette, Brooks Forester — who essentially decided that he just wasn’t that into her — may have done the show a massive favor by injecting some much needed realism into what’s become one of the fluffiest campfests on television.
When the franchise first launched as The Bachelor back in 2002, it was a bizarre amalgamation of game show and dating show, with the ultimate goal being for the hunk in question to find the woman of his dreams, propose marriage and ride off into the sunset. The premise was a cheesy as it was irresistible, and women clamored to do something they’d likely never do in real life: date a man who was simultaneously dating more than a dozen other ladies.

Movie 43 was in essence an experimental film from the minds of the Farrelly Brothers. This raunchy, ribald sketch comedy film with two different wrap-around stories (depending on where it was released) featured fourteen different short films with an impressive cast. Unfortunately, the experiment did not perform too well during its release. However, there’s always life for these types of film on DVD and Blu-ray. Loaded with inappropriate humor, Movie 43 found a few fans in its original run, while others declared it one of the worst movies ever. This is your chance to be the judge, but may we suggest you judge it with some spirits on your side? And now, to cover our butts… This game is only for people over the age of 21.

After years of development, Disney managed to travel back over the rainbow with Oz the Great and Powerful. While it wasn’t the box office juggernaut that Alice in Wonderland was, it did bring a new version of L. Frank Baum’s classic books to the big screen. The colorful fantasy world that Sam Raimi shows in Oz the Great and Powerful is appealing to children of all ages, but more importantly, it looks crazy when you’ve been drinking. If you’re taking a trip back to Oz, have a few drinks of a different color and enjoy the ride. And now, to cover our butts… This game is only for people over the age of 21.

David Mitchell’s book Cloud Atlas was long considered one of those infamous “unfilmable” books. However, that didn’t stop the Wachowskis and Tom Tykwer from giving it a go when they made the epic sci-fi/historical/mystery drama. Tying together six different stories in six different genres, the film was seen as a triumph by some and a mess by others. Running close to three hours, and starring a cast of actors in multiple (and sometimes marginally offensive) roles, Cloud Atlas can be a bit of a challenge to get through, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be given a chance. You might need some liquid courage to make it to the end, that is the true-true, and that is fine. Just don’t be surprised if you start seeing double (or triple or quadruple). That’s just interesting casting and lots of prosthetics. And now, to cover our butts… This...

Even though he passed away in the last century, Stanley Kubrick continues to be one of the most revered filmmakers of all time. However, it is somewhat depressing how few people have seen some of his classic films. Love them or hate them, Kubrick’s classics should be experiences, on the big screen if possible. One of his most well-known and groundbreaking films was 2001: A Space Odyssey. While the year 2001 has come and gone many years ago, the film survives in various formats. Some people – especially in the younger generation – may complain it is a bit slow-moving, especially compared to modern films of today. For those who want to experience Kubrick’s masterpiece but need a little help, this drinking game will assist you. See? This column can be educational as well as hedonistic.

With the upcoming release of Pain & Gain this week, the cinematic world looks back on director Michael Bay’s filmography. However, instead of focusing on his billion-dollar franchise installments, we can look back to his more modest days when he worked on character-driven stories: movies like Bad Boys II. The only sequel Bay has directed outside of the Transformers series was made right before his biggest domestic disappointment (The Island) and marks one of his final films in recent years that doesn’t feature giant freaking robots. Love him or hate him as a director, Bay’s films serve as big-screen beer commercials. So why not enjoy one of his most revered and reviled movies by sampling some appropriate beer?

With more Channing Tatum. Now that Paramount and Hasbro have seen fit to finally release this cinematic masterpiece, you’re likely going to want to revisit 2009’s G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra so you don’t miss any nuances of the plot or subtle subtext from film-to-film. After all, why else would you watch a Stephen Sommers’ movie?

St. Patrick’s Day is coming up this weekend, and we know everyone is looking for any excuse to drink some green beer or slam a few shots of Irish whiskey. Sure, we could enjoy a few drinks to Darby O’Gill and the Little People, but why not celebrate with a true cinematic classic like 1993’s Leprechaun? There have been six Leprechaun films to date, and honestly, this game could work for almost all of them to a degree. However, it’s Warwick Davis’ original turn as the offensive Irish stereotype that is most enjoyable. Cheers, and Éirinn go Brách!

Nominated for three Oscars, The Master was a passion project for director P.T. Anderson. It pulled the veil back on a fictionalized account of Scientology as well as proving that Joaquin Phoenix can secure award nominations for any role in which he beats up plumbing. Thought not entirely mainstream, it was a darling of art-house film fans, and The Master also prominently features homemade booze as a subplot and symbol. This is enough of an excuse to knock back a few drinks while watching the film’s crisp transfer on Blu-ray or DVD. And now, to cover our butts… This game is only for people over the age of 21.

Almost ten years ago, sci-fi fans went nuts over the reimagined Battlestar Galactica series. The show wrapped up several years ago, and the prequel series Caprica came and went as well. However, there’s a new movie on DVD and Blu-ray that can take you back to a time of war with the Cylons. Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome started off as a web series, but now is available in its full form on home video. Sure, it’s nowhere near as good as the actual series, but it’s entertaining enough to return to space with a young William Adama. So by the gods, enjoy the movie with a glass of your favorite adult beverage. And now, to cover our butts… This game is only for people over the age of 21.

Skyfall is the most successful James Bond movie ever, raking in more than a billion dollars in worldwide box office. This week, it is available on DVD and Blu-ray for convenient home viewing. Though Bond is known for his signature drinks of vodka martinis (shaken not stirred) and more recently Vespers, the character has rarely been known to turn down alcohol in any form. Since all women want James Bond and all men want to be him, a great way to connect with the character is to enjoy a drink or two, or three, or 007 while watching his latest film.

There are joyous ones, knowing that the film will be rated R and John McClane’s famous catchphrase will be spoken without being drowned out by a gunshot.

Superhero movies aren’t just massive blockbuster juggernauts like The Avengers and The Dark Knight. They can also be made on a more modest, independent budget. All Superheroes Must Die (also known as Vs.) features four superheroes trapped in a dangerous Saw-like game. While you can knock a few back with bigger movies every night, it’s always a good thing to give a smaller production a chance.

In case you missed it this past November, or you were too cheap to watch it for a premium price on demand, Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning is now available on DVD and Blu-ray. This gritty and violent installment in the Universal Soldier franchise reunites Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren as bad guys being hunted by a soldier seeking vengeance. Don’t ask me to explain how this all fits into the series of films. (To be honest, I lost track sometime in the 1990s.) However, it’s one of those rare down-the-line sequels that is actually worth seeing. And if you have a beer or two (or seven) while watching it, so much the better.

After almost eight years as governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger returns to the big screen in a lead role in The Last Stand, releasing this week. For fans of his action movies, the best way to prepare for this is to dig into the classics of his filmography. Few Arnold films are as classic as Mark Lester’s 1985 hit Commando. Commando tells the story of retired Delta Force operative John Matrix, whose daughter Jenny (Alyssa Milano) is kidnapped to ensure he’ll assassinate a South American president. Of course, things don’t go well for the bad guys when Matrix tosses that mission aside and blows everything up in his way to rescue Jenny. It’s Arnold, post-Terminator, and he’s back.

The 90s were good in some ways. Other ways, not so much. The odious Sylvester Stallone version of Judge Dredd was one way the 90s kind of sucked. Fortunately, we have a new Judge available on DVD and Blu-ray. Dredd brings back the hard-boiled character in his full violent glory. With Karl Urban playing the lead role – and not being afraid to stay within his helmet for the whole film – Dredd delivers on R-rated violence and gore. And it doesn’t hurt to have Olivia Thirlby at his side. While Dredd is dispensing justice, dispense yourself a few beers and enjoy the film.

This week, we have seen 2012 come to a close with nary a whimper or a bang from the Mayan apocalypse. Sure, there’s $200 million movie weekends and 48 frames per second, but there were also some dark times in our past. As you look forward to 2013, start off the year right by getting drunk while you watch the greatest movie known to civilized man: Teen Wolf. If you recall, this not-exactly-a-remake of I Was a Teenage Werewolf in 1985 starred Michael J. Fox whose burgeoning lycanthopy was a thinly-veiled allegory to puberty. As the character of Scott comes of age, so do his wolf-like powers, which includes the ability to buy beer without a valid ID.

By now, you’ve probably seen The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, and you may have stumbled out of the theater, feeling drunk from the effects of the Hfr projection. Regardless of what you thought of Peter Jackson’s latest Middle-earth fantasy epic, you might be tempted to watch all or part of his previous trilogy The Lord of the Rings. This is a marathon session to endure, especially if you opt for the extended editions of the films, which totals close to twelve hours of movies.

And now, to cover our butts… This game is only for people over the age of 21. Please drink responsibly, and don’t stop being an awesome superhero for eight years. Suggested...

Even though October passed us by almost a month ago, Focus Features has decided to drop its brilliant stop-motion animated film ParaNornman during the Christmas season. Consider it a gift to all of us scary movie fans who can adore this sweet-yet-spooky film in the comfort of our own homes without kids in costumes ringing the doorbell, constantly interrupting to demand candy. Of course, since you’ll be enjoying this film at home, possibly eating the last reserves of your plastic jack-o’-lantern bucket, you can knock back a couple drinks in the process. But go easy on the spirits, considering this movie is good enough to remember without a hangover. And now, to cover our butts… This game is only for people over the age of 21.

This should come as no surprise ... Lindsay Lohan's turn as Elizabeth Taylor has been panned by the critics, notably The Hollywood Reporter's Tim Goodman.Lifetime is banking on Lilo's notoreity, touting "Liz & Dick" as her comeback and a "television event." Whether or not you decide to tune in on November 25th, you have to check out highlight's from Goodman's scathing review (where he called the TV movie "spectacularly bad"), paired with stills from the "television event:""Hair and makeup miracles do not a movie make""Drinking games were made for movies like this.""The talking part doesn't turn out so well for Lohan. There is not one moment of the film she's believable.""It's like a high school play.""Luckily, you can't take your eyes off Lohan playing Taylor, which the producers clearly thought would work because they share similar backstories. Except for the part about being Taylor being...

Forget the North Koreans. It was the Soviets with their Cuban and Nicaraguan allies that once posed a real threat to this nation. After all, it doesn’t take much to establish a beachhead in Washington State, as depicted in the Red Dawn remake due out in theaters this week. Real hardcore Communist armies invade from the center of the country, as seen with the occupation of Calumet, Colorado in John “Madman” Milius’s original 1984 film. The new film’s explosions may be bigger, and the actors may be more recognizable to today’s audience (though possibly not, considering the original starred Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen, Jennifer Gray, Harry Dean Stanton, and Powers Booth), but Milius’s Red Dawn is perfectly primed for a stiff line of drinks. Re-live the action of this right-wing 80s war film, recently released on Blu-ray. And now, to cover our butts… This game is only for people over the age of...

Even the star power of Henry Winkler, Alicia Silverstone and hunky Cheyenne Jackson wasn't enough to keep The Performers going, and it will close after just 23 previews and seven performances. The reviews I read this week had been pretty savage.
The Hollywood Reporter says that Liz & Dick is pretty awful, but you have to watch, because it sounds so awful it might be wonderful. "It’s an instant classic of unintentional hilarity. Drinking games were made for movies like this. And the best part is that it gets worse as it goes on, so in the right company with the right beverages, Liz & Dick could be unbearably hilarious toward the tail end of the 90-minute running time. By the time Lohan is playing mid-’80s Taylor and it looks like a lost Saturday Night Live skit, your body may be cramped by convulsions."
Between a killer online fundraiser, and a party last weekend,...

Hollywood Reporter paints the Lifetime movie as 'an instant classic of unintentional hilarity' and 'like a high school play'
If troubled starlet Lindsay Lohan was hoping that a leading role playing silver screen icon Elizabeth Taylor would relaunch her movie career, then it seems those hopes have now been dashed.
The Hollywood Reporter, one of the most respected titles in the movie industry, has just published the first review of the Lifetime film Liz & Dick. It is – to put it mildly – a thorough filleting.
Even the headline of the review is a pointed jab that lets readers and industry insiders know that what is to come is going to be brutal.
"The Lifetime movie starring Lindsay Lohan as Elizabeth Taylor is half train wreck, half SNL skit," it reads.
Then critic Tim Goodman unleashes his freshly sharpened pen and proceeds to skewer the actress – who was once seen as a...

Fifty years after "Dr. No" first made him a movie star, James Bond returns to the big screen for the 23rd time with "Skyfall."
Daniel Craig's third film as the British super spy is already a massive hit in the UK, and it's been generating rave reviews from critics for everything from Sam Mendes' direction to Javier Bardem's latest villainous wig.
This time, Bond is tasked with tracking down a stolen file containing the names of undercover Nato operatives -- names that former MI6 agent-gone-rogue, Raoul Silva (Bardem), is threatening to reveal as a way to get revenge on the agency, and in particular, M (Judi Dench).
And to ensure you're properly prepped for one of the year's most hyped releases, here are 23 more things to know about 007's latest adventure.
1. It's been four years since the last Bond movie. Or, just long enough for people to forget about "Quantum of Solace.

Now that Halloween is over, and Thanksgiving is just around the corner, it’s time to start getting into the Christmas cheer. You might think it’s a little too early for this, but Wal-Mart has had its Christmas decorations up for a month now, and movie studios are following suit.

The University of Sydney’s Becky Freeman, Lyndal Trevena, and Nasser Dhim, argue in this piece that first appeared on The Conversation that the tobacco industry is still finding ways to market to new customers despite changes in the law.
“Every time a door closes a window opens.” This clichéd greeting card sentiment must be the catch-cry of tobacco marketers globally. Every since tobacco advertising was first forced off our television screens in the 1970s, the tobacco industry has been at pains to splash its logos and brands just about anywhere it can.
Public health officials and governments have never been able to keep up with determined and inspired cigarette advertising executives.
No more roadside billboards? No worries – we’ll make our shop displays even bigger and more exciting! No more magazine ads? We’ll sponsor sport and music festivals instead! No vouchers, prizes, giveaways, contests, or freebies? Ok, we...

By now, you have to be sick of pretty much any political campaign. Just think, in a short week, this will all be over and you’ll either cheer or cry, depending on your candidate of choice. Don’t you love American politics? In this last week of the 2012 election season, you can watch the absurd election comedy The Campaign, and then you can realize that in the context of the races going on around the country, it’s really not all that absurd. That thought alone should drive you to drink, so why not enjoy some structured drinking as you enjoy the movie? And now, to cover our butts… This game is only for people over the age of 21.

Thirty years ago, Steven Spielberg’s E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial became the biggest box office success of all time. Now, Universal has finally released the Blu-ray of this family science fiction classic, which makes great companion viewing with Spielberg’s other recent Universal Blu-ray releases, Jaws and Jurassic Park. Just as E.T. breaks into the refrigerator in the middle of the day and gets drunk on Coors beer, you can join in the fun without leaving your home. There was a terrible E.T. board game back in the 80s, but this game is sure to be a lot more fun. By the end, it’s likely you won’t be able to phone anyone on this planet or any other. And now, to cover our butts… This game is only for people over the age of 21. Please drink responsibly, and don’t mind-meld with an alien without a back-up plan. Suggested...

Fans of the original Dark Shadows television series may not have been wild about the Tim Burton big-screen adaptation of the story, but those who like Burton’s many collaborations with Johnny Depp should be interested. Depp plays the legendary Barnabas Collins, who was turned into a vampire by a scorned witch. After returning home to his family home of Collinwood after being asleep for almost 200 years, he faces a new world of 1972 and his old adversary… in color! This vampire comedy hits Blu-ray and DVD this week, so you can check it out for better or for worse. At least you’ll be seeing it in the appropriately-themed month of October, rather than when it hit theaters in May. And now, to cover our butts… This game is only for people over the age of 21. Please drink responsibly, and don’t reject the love of a witch and keep her around as a servant. Suggested...

Earlier this year, Lionsgate finally released the much-anticipated horror deconstruction film The Cabin in the Woods. While Joss Whedon got more press for his involvement in that little independent film known as The Avengers, this project with director Drew Goddard turned the heads of many genre fans. (And for the most part, those heads stayed on their bodies.) The Cabin in the Woods hits DVD and Blu-ray this week, offering some keen insights into this meta-movie about five college kids facing untold terrors on a weekend getaway. Even those who aren’t fans of the genre can find something to appreciate while they watch this film, so drink up, and let’s get this party started! And now, to cover our butts… This game is only for people over the age of 21. Please drink responsibly, and don’t make dumb decisions if you find yourself smack-dab in the middle of a horror movie.

Oh, K-Stew! How could you do it to us? You have tarnished the good name of Snow White and the Huntsman with your predictable affair with director Rupert Sanders! If you caught yourself saying this a few weeks ago, you probably aren’t interested in a drinking game about this movie and should crawl back into your Twi-hole. (You’re probably too young to drink, anyway, so off you go.) But if the tabloid news surrounding this film made you somewhat curious to see it (or even revisit it since its release this past summer), you can use these rules to enhance the experience, now that the movie is available on DVD and Blu-ray. And now, to cover our butts… This game is only for people over the age of 21. Please drink responsibly, and don’t cheat on your actress/model wife.

It might not be October yet, but that doesn’t mean you can’t start gearing up for some horror movies. One of the legendary gorefests from the 1980s is hitting Blu-ray this week: Stuart Gordon’s tribute to H.P. Lovecraft, Re-Animator. While it didn’t redefine zombie movies, partly because Gordon was paying homage to Frankenstein more than he was the standard walking dead film, Re-Animator was a financial success in limited run theaters and helped launch the career of Jeffrey Combs. It also showed us one of the many uses of glow stick fluid. New on Blu-ray, it’s time to give this film another watch in high definition. And now, to cover our butts… This game is only for people over the age of 21. Please drink responsibly, and always remember to get a fresh corpse for experiments.

Along with Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, the Incredible Hulk, and Batman, a lesser-known heroine named Katniss Everdeen became one of the biggest box office draws of 2012. Now the immensely popular dystopian science fiction adventure The Hunger Games is available on DVD and Blu-ray. The Hunger Games tells the story of a dark future where the government punishes the people by forcing their children to fight to the death in an arena. You know the drill, basically a less-Japanese version of Battle Royale with some really funky fashions. Still, it’s an enjoyable film and worth enjoying with a drink in your hand. And now, to cover our butts… This game is only for people over the age of 21. Please drink responsibly, and may the booze be ever in your favor.

Unless you've been hiding under a rock a la Peeta Mellark in the arena for the past few weeks, you probably already know that "The Hunger Games" on DVD is finally dropping this weekend (Aug. 18, to be precise). Needless to say, tributes the world over are now furiously counting down the remaining hours — as Wiress from "Catching Fire" would say, "tick tock, tick tock" — until the games can begin at home.
If you're like us, you'll be hitting the nearest midnight release party (which can be found with this handy dandy locator) and clapping like a Capitol kid just raring to see the show as you grip the plastic-sheathed cover of your very own copy. While there won't be any deleted scenes on the DVD, there will be some new behind-the-scenes goodies and commentary to enjoy within. Not to mention the small fact that you'll be able to watch "The Hunger Games...
