Well this can’t be good. Nikki Finke shared a series of leaked market research screening reviews for NBC‘s upcoming comedy series “Parks and Recreation” and things weren’t good. Here are a few excerpts from the focus group results, but without having the entire set of results there is no way for me to tell you […]

Ahh yes. Tim Burton is doing what he does best: bringing a touch of twisted darkness to the otherwise good and wholesome. The prospect of Burton taking on the classic tale of “Alice In Wonderland” has excited me from the first bit of news and now I’m even more anxious to see what this visionary […]

Following the debut of “The Foot Fist Way,” director Jody Hill is set to premiere his sophomore comedy, “Observe and Report,” on April 10, 2009. “Observe and Report,” starring Seth Rogen, Anna Faris, Ray Liotta, and Collette Wolfe, opened to great reviews last week at SXSW and after having thoroughly enjoyed “Foot Fist” I’d expect […]

Below is some spoiler-like discussion on the upcoming “Terminator Salvation.” I say “spoiler-like” because the movie details have now changed, allegedly, but if you don’t want to know what will or what won’t happen then skip this post. Some movie rumors you immediately dismiss for being too crazy. Others you dismiss out of denial. Last […]

I’ll admit it. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a John Wayne movie. At least not one that I remember. So when I heard the news that the Coen brothers (“No Country for Old Men”, “Burn After Reading”) were going to direct “True Grit” I had no idea it was a remake of a John […]

Craig Ferguson began hosting “The Late Late Show” on CBS back in 2005 but he’s best known to me as the goof-off boss on “The Drew Carey Show” for eight years (96-04). His late night show has been fun when I’ve caught it even though I was sorry at the time that he beat out […]

Now this is the trailer they should have worked into their Super Bowl spot last month. “Year One” is the latest comedy from Harold Ramis and features Jack Black and Michael Cera as two mean from long, long ago and their wacky adventures. Sounds kinda goofy, but the cast is filled with everyone you’d want […]

I’ve been looking forward to seeing “Observe and Report”, Jody Hill‘s latest directorial project, since last summer when one of its stars, Collette Wolfe, mentioned it during an interview for Hill’s other film, “The Foot Fist Way.” Now with just weeks away from its wide release and following its SXSW screeners I’m even more excited […]

“American Beauty”, “Jarhead”, “Revolutionary Road.” What do all of these Sam Mendes movies have in common? Hilarious comedy! Wait, no they don’t. Mendes isn’t known for his comedies but he’s looking to change that with his latest project, “Away We Go.” Away We Go is a contemporary comedy directed by Academy Award winner Sam Mendes […]

Forget making a short story into a Hollywood movie, JJ Abrams wants to make a magazine article into a full blown feature film. WIRED magazine is set to run an article entitled, “The Untold Story of the World’s Biggest Diamond Heist,” in next month’s issue but Paramount has already swooped in and bought up the […]
