Thursday, April 24th, 2008

We haven’t seem to much from Will Smith’s upcoming superhero comedy aside from a few images and one trailer. Now we can take a look at the extended trailer for Hancock which hits theaters later this summer. I’m not sure what to think about this movie, I don’t think it looks bad but I don’t [...]

New Tropic Thunder Photos

Monday, April 21st, 2008

Paramount Pictures has released some new photos for their upcoming action/comedy Tropic Thunder. The film is directed by Ben Stiller, who also stars alongside Robert Downey Jr. and Jack Black. From what we have seen from the teaser trailer, this film should be pretty good. I am not a big fan of Stiller, some of [...]

Farrelly Brother’s New Comedy To Be Redneck Action-Adventure

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

The Farrelly Brothers broke into the comedy movie scene back in the early 1990s with ‘Dumb and Dumber’ and quickly followed it up with ‘Kingpin.’ Both of those movies are two of my favorite comedies of all time. They never get old to me and I could watch them over and over. But if you [...]

Here is the trailer for the mid-90s comedy ‘The Wackness’ which takes place in NYC. The film follows around Luke Shapiro who is one of New York’s biggest pot dealers who is trying to have a great summer…selling pot. Looks pretty good and from what I have heard, it has big potential in being one [...]

'American Teen' Trailer Hits The Net

Friday, April 11th, 2008

This film is being called, as well as marketed (see poster to the right), as today’s ‘Breakfast Club.’ Now, this film might be an indie, and it might star high school kids. But that doesn’t mean it’s the best thing since sliced bread. All I see now are “cute” little indie films that follow around [...]

New ‘Pineapple Express’ Poster To Fire You Up

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

‘Pineapple Express’ is going to be one of those movies this summer that will most likely be missed by everyone, aside from the select few who watched ‘Freaks and Geeks.’ This film brings back Seth Rogen, James Franco and Judd Apatow. Who can’t get excited for that alone? Now, after viewing the red band trailer, [...]
