Yes, today I'm posting the Freeze Frame stills a little bit later in the evening than I usually do, but it's good to mix things up every once in a while, right?
Most of you know the deal by now, but for those of you who are just joining us, Freeze Frame is a game where you've got to take a look at the movie images below and then give us their corresponding film titles in the comments section -- and if you can guess the common thread between the movies, all the better (though that's not a condition of winning the self-made aluminum foil trophy and getting your name in bold here on redblog come Monday).
*** Remember that last week we didn't have a third-place contestant by the time I posted the answers (meaning too many of you gave up early or didn't think it was worth a try, wrongly assuming that you were too late to the game). So even if you're reading this on Monday morning. you may still have a shot. There's always the chance that nobody will be able to correctly identify the entire trio over the course of Saturday and Sunday. Hope is not lost if you've arrived at this post later in the weekend or at the beginning of the work day on Monday -- give it a shot! The sweet smell of victory could be right around the corner... (as could the agony of defeat, but we'll forget about that for the time being).
Here's what you've got to work with:
Once you think you know the answers, enter them in the comments below. I won't publish anything until I reveal the champ's name at some point on Monday.
Best of luck!

The first movie still is from The Wedding Singer, the second movie still is from Big Fish, and the third movie still is from Armageddon. What all of these movies have in common is that Steve Buscemi is in all three.

Not sure bout the first one, The Wedding Singer maybe? The other two are Big Fish and The Island.
Posted by: Trevor Levine | July 18, 2009 at 10:57 AM
Movie 2 is Big Fish.
Movie 3 is The Island.
Movie 1 as a complete mystery to me.
I think the theme of the movies is they may all have Ewan McGregor in them.

Since there's no where on here to put just a general comment, I'm putting mine here. There should be info somewhere on redbox, either here in the blog or on the main page, about new releases each week. It's annoying not knowing when a movie you're waiting for is coming out on dvd. I used to go to imdb.com to check, but they've changed their format and don't list them by release date anymore. Just a suggestion!! :)

The Wedding Singer, Big Fish, and ... is that Armageddon? No clue what they have in common, though.
