Chris Rock Shows up at "Funeral"

“Death at a Funeral” has been on my To-Watch list for eons, but I’ve yet to get there yet. Has anyone seen the 2007 British flick?
I should watch it soon, so I can compare with the remake coming up. Chris Rock is on board to produce, star, and co-write the script with […]

Burt Reynolds, Chevy Chase Spoof Spoof-Movies

I just can’t see how this can go well. As if spoof movies themselves aren’t bad enough, now they’re making a movie that spoofs the spoof-movies like “Scary Movie,” “Superhero Movie,” “Disaster Movie,” “Meet the Spartans,” “Epic Movie,” “Not Another Teen Movie,” and so on and so forth.

"Role Models" - Preview & Trailer

“Role Models” looks like it could be goofy fun, or just crude humor from beginning to end. Or maybe both. I’m hoping for both.
It stars Seann William Scott and Paul Rudd as two salesmen for an energy drink. After crashing their company truck, they’re sentenced to 150 hours of community service, mentoring a bunch […]

Steve Carell Attached to "The Beaver"

When I heard that Steve Carell was attached to a project called “The Beaver,” I thought, wow! that’s cool! They’re bringing “Leave it to Beaver” back to life in the modern world!
Not so. It’s actually a movie project about a guy who walks around with a beaver puppet on his hand, treating it […]

"The Tale of Despereaux" - Preview & Trailer

“The Tale of Despereaux” surely must be one of the least publicized movies this year. It looks really cute, though, and features some fantastic voices for the animated characters.

Steve Carell Tapped for "Get Smart" Sequel

We LOVED “Get Smart,” and Steve Carell was perfect for the role. In fact, we saw it twice! So I’m happy to hear he’s on board for a sequel. The movie was such a big success that Carell landed a multi-million dollar three-movie deal with studio Warner Bros. last month.
If I understand the WENN […]
