I didn’t get a chance to screen “Adventureland” before its release today, but I traveled to the thriving metropolis of Ogden, Utah, even to the late Larry H. Miller’s newish Junction Megaplex, to catch a late show with my sisters. Based on the redband trailer and the helmsmanship of director Greg Mottola, I was expecting crass and crude, something like “Superbad.” But that’s not what was served. What I saw was a charming, smart, heartwarming (and yes, sometimes crass) comedy …

You’d have to be hibernating in a dank, drippy cave for the last three years to not know about the movie “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan” and it’s hilarious star, Sacha Baron Cohen. Cohen is also famous for his characters Ali G and Brüno, the latter of which is coming to the big screen this summer (July 9, 2009) in what is sure to be another controversial and crude film. I can’t wait! …
Looks like the third film in the “Meet the Fockers” trilogy will start filming this summer, with Ben Stiller, Teri Polo, Robert De Niro, Blythe Danner and Owen Wilson set to reprise their roles. The third movie will be titled “Little Fockers” and most likely directed by Paul Weitz, who is the helmer behind “American Pie,” “About a Boy,” and “In Good Company.” I hope Weitz can breathe some new life into this franchise, because the second film was kind …
ThinkGeek.com had the best April Fools’ Day product ever created in the history of false products with this Tauntaun sleeping bag. I know this is a joke, but seriously – this needs to be real. This is goldmine waiting to be mined by husky, hairy dwarfs. Think of all the possibilites. You could be camping with your buddies, maybe perchance you had a little too much pork n’ beans, and after campfire singing and post-dinner flatulance, you can utter, in …
This just in – Hugh Jackman, aka Wolverine in May’s “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” wants to hold the movie premiere in your hometown. Why, you might ask? Because he wants to enslave your wife and/or girlfriend, who, no doubt, has been drooling over the hunky Aussie since “Australia” hit theaters last December. Here’s the details: To put in a bid for your town to host the “X-Men Origins” premiere – complete with red carpet, Kliegg lights and some of Wolverine’s “friends …
Another April Fools’ Day is upon us and Star Wars fans are celebrating by basting their fantasies all over the web in the spirt of pulling your Jedi leg. I’ve seen two fake news posts today about a “new” trilogy in the works over at Lucasfilm. One, from The Movie Blog, states George Lucas is moving onward with the “Legacy Trilogy,” based on some comic books and set 125 years after “Return of the Jedi.” Another post, found on Firefox …
Suprise, suprise, another studio is delving into the ever-popular vampire genre. I don’t know much about “Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter,” but it sounds like the title for a porno movie. And I might not be far off with that assumption. According to the description on Wikipedia, the books are an “erotic” series written by Laurell K. Hamilton and have evolved into a monthly comic book series, as well. This will be under the IFC banner, produced by After Dark Films …
According to MovieWeb, director Sam Rami is saying a “Spiderman 4” script will be ready by this summer. And that’s all he knows. He’s reluctant to discuss villains because, well, the screenplay isn’t even done (see: isn’t even started). I’m reluctant to give a rat’s derierre because emo-Peter Parker in the last movie was so friggin’ lame I literally had to punch myself in my own netherregions to keep from abusing small animals. Wha? Too harsh? I’m sorry Sam Rami, …
