I will always have a soft spot for John Cusack thanks to his memorable '80s roles as the sharp but self-deprecating underdog. (You know you love Lloyd Dobler!) As years pass he continues to pop up in movies —whether he's playing the sweet hero in a rom-com (Serendipity), or a record-store owner in the midst of a breakup (High Fidelity). This Friday he'll be a dad facing the end of the world in 2012.

This week marks the 20th anniversary of the beloved film Say Anything. To commemorate the milestone (and its special DVD release), a hoard of guys dressed up as Lloyd Dobler swarmed various areas of New York City to re-create the famous scene set to Peter Gabriel's "Your Eyes." (You know the one — Lloyd wants to win back Diane, so he stands outside of her house with a boombox over his head.)
While these guys can't possibly compare to the original, lovable underdog Dobler (John Cusack), they still make for a pretty charming YouTube video.

Right on the heels of the sweet geekfest that is Comic-Con, we get a little preview for a movie that deals with the space-time continuum. Kinda. (Well, it also references Stargate fan fiction, so there's an uber-geeky tie-in.) In Hot Tub Time Machine, we follow four guys (played by Craig Robinson, John Cusack, Rob Corddry, and Greek's Clark Duke) who get drunk and travel back in time (via hot tub, naturally).

John Cusack stars in the new big budget movie from Roland Emmerich, 2012. Also starring Thandie Newton, Oliver Platt, Woody Harrelson, Amanda Peet and Jimi Mistry, the movie depicts "an epic adventure about a global cataclysm that brings an end to the world and tells of the heroic struggle of the survivors." It certainly looks epic from the action-packed trailer, and I'm a John Cusack fan so I'm looking forward to checking this movie out when it hits cinemas in November.

First of all, it's called Hot Tub Time Machine. And that's exactly what we can expect to see in this movie: A hot tub that has the power to bring people back in time. The story will follow "a group of guys who have grown frustrated with their adult lives.

Actor John Cusack has filmed a fast and furious political TV ad, challenging viewers to explain how John McCain is any different than President George W. Bush. He brings up issues like the GI Bill, ties to war profiteers, and children's health care.

War, Inc. is one of those head-scratchers where I'm at a loss as to whether or not this movie will be good, or even watchable. Starring John Cusack (who's also a credited writer on the film), it looks like one of those cynical, dark comedies where the goal is to make you think, "That's so absurd!

I have a friend who has a theory about John Cusack and his romantic gestures in movies such as Say Anything. In the real world, it's called stalking. This guy learned the hard way, trying to replicate the famous "boom box outside the window" scene, but upping the ante by turning it into a marriage proposal.
