Two actors, two faces and a two sided story. I smell an Oscar nod for Gosling…I see audience rejection of the film.
It’s October. A time when Ghoulies, Ghosties and Long-Legged Beasties roam the earth. But if you start seeing the ghost of a World War II Japanese kamikaze fighter pilot, you’re probably Enoch Brae, the central character of Restless. And that’s not a bad place to be. Enoch is an odd kid. If your name is Enoch [...]
“Rock ‘em Sock ‘em Robots” get their day on the big screen in Real Steel, a movie that transcends the one-joke premise and is instead a heartwarming, fist-pumping mechanized fairy tale of a father and son coming together amid some of the baddest technology you’ll ever wish was really available. Not to bad for a [...]
A quick glance at the ads for MacGruber arouses almost instant suspicion and confusion. Another SNL feature-length film based off a less-than-hilarious skit, itself based off a decades old TV. show? Surely after Night at the Roxbury, The Ladies Man, and Superstar, we would have learned our lesson? The early word on this one [...]

The film stars Will Forte, Ryan Phillippe and Val Kilmer. MACGRUBER will hit theaters May 21ST and the promotional screening will be held Thursday, May 20th at 9:00 PM. Check out the [...]
I was going to write a recap and review of the 4/29/2010 30 Rock episode “Argus” but the episode wasn’t all that great, kinda like this whole season, so why not talk about Argus guest star Will Forte’s new action comedy based on his Saturday Night Live skit, MacGruber. MacGruber will be hitting theaters on [...]
There’s a real message inherit in Whip It that’s exclusive to any woman who’s had her mother try to mold her in her maternal image. While this might seem to make the film “girls only”, Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut does feature enough charm to appeal to the other gender as well. But alas, this is [...]
It’s tough to really say Extract is a comedy. Sure, it’s being marketed as one and masquerades as one, but the film never hits the notes it wants to. Certainly there are laughs, few and far between though they may be, but none ever really rise much higher than a chuckle. Writer, director, and animation [...]
I was eagerly anticipating this movie as I’m a big fan of Jason Bateman’s understated comedic approach… and Mila Kunis’ understated hotness. And yet, neither could save this film. It was, in my opinion, just plain dumb. While writer and director Mike Judge usually does a great job depicting the humorous banality of everyday life [...]
From the strange and creatively awesome mind of Mike Judge who brought you Office Space, Idiocracy and Beavis and Butthead, comes the next comedy called Extract. Starring Jason Bateman, Mila Kunis, Ben Affleck, Kristen Wiig, J.K. Simmons, the film will come to theaters everywhere September 4th. Take a look at the posters below:
Check out the pics of Tina Fey and Steve Carell on the set of their upcoming comedy, Date Night. Taken during production in downtown Manhattan, you can see the hilarious (HILARIOUS!) duo as they embark on their date. Might I suggest that Mr.Carell is trying to tip a man. Wacky stuff there. Wacky. Date Night [...]
