Ok, I just can’t see this one. The original is such a cult classic, I don’t think any remake would ever do justice to it.

Brennan Huff (Will Ferrell) […]

Check out this clip of Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, talking up their new movie, Step Brothers, which opens in theaters this Friday, July 25, 2008. Ok, I don’t always like Will Ferrell’s stuff (see my note on Anchorman), but this movie really does look like goofy fun. But rats, it’s rated R for […]

Think it’s easy being a superstar teenager/singer/actress? Miley Cyrus makes it look easy, but she loves escaping from the spotlight with her friends and trying to feel “normal,” even in the midst of shooting her Hannah Montana movie, due in theaters May 1, 2009.

Not surprisingly, The Dark Knight reigned supreme at the box office this week, taking in a whopping $158 million! Boff! Bam! That’s a lotta dough. In fact, it beat out the former record-holder, Spider-Man 3, which opened to $151.1 million in May 2007.

Again, I hated it. Didn’t think it was funny. And I say this after I’ve admitting openly that I thought Talladega Nights had […]

Sophia (Amanda Seyfried) is getting married on the island where her mother (Meryl Streep) runs a hotel. She invites three men, one of which might be her father, to the wedding in the hope that the right one will give her away. Her mother is horrified. It’s all set to a backdrop of ABBA song. […]
