shrek forever after!

March 15, 2010 By 1 Comment



fiiiiiiinally! the new film in the shrek franchise has hit the internet. dubbed shrek forever after, the film is the 4th and last in the series. the first and second, AMAZING. the third was pure rubbish. hopefully we got a good one in the fourth?

this time, we see shrek as a tired family man who is growing weary of the responsibilities of kids & daipers. no one in town is scared of him anymore, and he longs to feel like a “real ogre” again. enter the evil rumpelstiltskin, the villain of the flick! (there’s gotta be one, right?)

rumpel strikes a mysterious deal with shrek, which transports him back to his old life just for one day. things aren’t as great as they seem, as shrek sees that his beloved wife fiona and best friends don’t even recognize him. my favorite part? puss in boots is now a fat cat! the film opens in theaters may 21st.

made of gold?

February 15, 2010 By Leave a Comment

don’t get me wrong, i’m a huge julia roberts fan. but come on, is she made of gold?

if you ventured out into the theaters this weekend to indulge in the celebrity love fest that is ‘valentine’s day,’ you might’ve caught a glimpse of the actress. judging from the trailer, we would’ve thought julia was a prime player. but as it turns out, she’s only in the film for roughly 6 minutes!

but that’s not the ridiculous part. for her part in the lovey-dovey flick, america’s sweetheart was paid $3 MILLION! that’s about $500,000 a minute. for that kinda cash, those better be the best 6 minutes of our lives!!

apparently roberts agreed to the part as a favor to director garry marshall. after casting her, it was much easier to get stars like jessica biel, ashton kutcher and anne hathaway on board. i guess only the box office can tell if julia was worth that paycheck… we’ll find out soon!

couples retreat

August 15, 2009 By Leave a Comment

this one sounds too good to be true. vince vaughn? jason bateman? and those are just two of the hysterical 8-person cast for the upcoming flick ‘couples retreat.’ due in theaters october 9th, the comedy follows four midwestern couples who take off to a tropical island resort. little do they know, participation in the resort’s couples therapy is not optional.

vince vaughn championed the idea of following four very different couples through very real-life (but funny) problems faced by couples across the world. also starring is ‘sex and the city’s’ kristin davis, faizon love, kristen bell and newcomer malin akerman. while one of the couple’s was there to really give their marriage a much-needed face-lift, the other three just went for the awesome group rate. so, you can imagine the hilarity that ensues.

plus, anything vince vaughn & jason bateman do is golden. the tagline? ‘it may be paradise, but it’s no vacation.’ check out the trailer above.

bruno-licious

yessss. the genius that is sacha baron cohen has treated us to another performance. you might remember (and who wouldn’t) his 2006 hit movie ‘borat: cultural learnings of America for make benefit glorious nation of kazakhstan’ in which cohen went undercover as the hilariously inappropriate kazakhstani reporter borat.

well, he’s back again. and just as inappropriate. this time he comes to us a flamboyantly gay austrian fashion reporter. and to kick off the worldwide release, cohen paraded around in some of the best costumes ever. paris, london, spain & amsterdam were treated to one-of-a-kind bruno creations (see above, if you dare). cohen, in true artist form, never broke character during his media tour.

‘bruno’ will hit theaters on july 10th, and is sure to be a hit despite a few negative reviews. i don’t think that’ll matter so much to the 16-35 crowd.  the movie, from what we’ve seen thus far, features several moments of fashion-inspired hysteria. he even gets arrested a few times, naturally. check out the trailer below and a warning? just prepare yourself.

copycat storylines

March 21, 2009 By Leave a Comment
when the commercials for seth rogen & anna faris’ new movie “observe and report” started popping up on tv, it was like pure deja vu. the whole unimportant-security-guard-that-has-a-chance-to-prove-himself thing has definitely been done before. in fact, it was done just a month prior. kevin james’ “paul blart: mall cop” finished out its run in theaters not too long ago to surprisngly ridiculous results – it took in more than $200 million at the box office. and before you know it, we’ve got a new bad-guy security guard in town. wow, poor planning by “observe and report”!
i’m sure that the powerhouse of seth rogen & anna faris will bring in lots of viewers – let’s be honest, they’re hysterical. but will people be tired of the same old storyline? i guess we’ll see! “observe and report” opens in theaters april 10th. for your comparison plesaure, the two similar movies’ trailers are below.
