Trailer Tuesday: Little Fockers Looks Focking Funny

When Little Fockers, the third film in the Meet the Parents series, hits theaters on December 22, 2010, six years will have passed since we last saw Gaylord  “Greg” Focker (Ben Stiller) and his arch nemesis/father-in-law, Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro), go toe-to-toe on the big screen. Little Fockers is the next logical step in the Focker trilogy and, as the title suggests, the story revolves around Greg and Pam (Teri Polo) trying to raise their five year-old twins.

All the familiar faces are back – Blythe Danner, Barbara Streisand, and Owen Wilson, as well as some seemingly pleasant additions in Jessica Alba, Harvey Keitel, Laura Dern and Raven Symone.  The trailer, release last week, isn’t a knock-your-socks-off preview, but it’s funny and after half a decade I welcome a return to Gaylord Focker’s life and look forward to the chemistry Stiller and De Niro share.

Take a peek at the trailer for Little Fockers after the jump and let me know what you think. Yay or nay?

Movie Review (Dan’s Take): Valentine’s Day

February 11, 2010 Reviews 3 Comments

With  no less than 20 billable stars and eight story lines, the humdrum Valentine’s Day is a marshmallow-fisted counter-attack against the cynical idea that “Love’s Day” is a corporate foisted, marketing driven excuse to steal money and inspire loveless singles feel bad about themselves. It’s a “one day where love conquers all and everyone gets their Valentine wish” movie. Or at least, that’s what the overly forced scripts tries to clobber home. Instead, Valentine’s Day offers a valentine box that’s not stuffed with homemade, handwritten tokens of affection, but their store-bought, shallow and emotionally truncated equivalent.

So here’s a moment of uncomfortable truth: I wanted to see this movie. Buoyed by the prospect of cozying up to a cloying, feel-good American companion to Love, Actually, Valentine’s Day felt like a chance to take in a round of filmic comfort food. But at the end of its two hours, even my Lady-Friend, who attended the screening with me, was disenfranchised. “It was OK” isn’t a blushing, melting endorsement from a core audience member.

Movie Review: The Last Airbender (F)

By ANDY MORGAN There are very few movies I completely and utterly abhor. Generally, I can usually find something positive or likeable in a film, even if said cinema is receiving disgust and scorn en masse from most fall-in-line movie critics. I relish the truth that I don’t always see eye-to-eye with most critics and [...]

Movie Review: The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (B)

By ANDY MORGAN Making fun of Twilight fans and bemoaning Stephanie Meyer’s novels and the subsequent movies is almost as easy as drumming up sarcastic jabs about Lindsey Lohan, Paris Hilton or Miley Cyrus. There’s no effort required. It’s easy. And it’s also out of control. It’s almost as popular to dump on the vampire-werewolf [...]

Movie Review: The Last Airbender (C-)

By DAN VINTON If there’s one thing The Last Airbender does well, it proves any mystique surrounding M. Night Shaymalan is gone. With this coffin-bound nail, all residual goodwill The Sixth Sense director retained from followup successes like Unbreakable, Signs and even the creepy but fatally flawed The Village has been throttled by his is [...]
