This anorexic-thin actress who probably weighs less than Rosie O’Donnell’s head is planning on gaining 20 to 30 pounds for a role in the film adaptation of Mireille Guiliano’s best-selling book, French Women Don’t Get Fat.

Just like we saw the collapse of torture porn in 2007, we are very likely seeing the collapse of the spoof movie in 2008.

As a notch in Vin Diesel’s action film belt, it serves its purpose. But come Halloween, I doubt anyone is even going to remember this film existed.

There’s a lot to be concerned about Babylon A.D.: no screenings for press… late August release… Gérard Depardieu in crappy prosthetics. To get through this dreary look at our world’s future, you might just have to numb your brain a bit.

After the horrors that were Date Movie, Epic Movie and Meet the Spartans, I can’t imagine anyone would willingly sit through Disaster Movie while sober.

Summit Entertainment’s Sex Drive is rolling into Columbus, Ohio, for an advance screening. Here at FSR, we have gotten our horny little hands on some passes to the film.

Don Cheadle just seems like a really nice guy. And it is for this reason that he doesn’t make the greatest terrorist.

Through much of the year, most celebrities stay out of politics. But when an election rolls around, they suddenly mistake their star popularity for public interest in what they have to say about the issues.

If there’s one thing spy movies teach us, it’s that doing clandestine work is better when you’re totally hammered. This also applies to accounting, running the country, and professional beer tasting.

Is FSR resident Fat Guy sexier than Zac Efron? If you think you have the answer, you might win a gift card to Build-a-Bear.

I can’t think of a movie in recent history that has the same feel and attitude, or even remotely the same story. It’s creative and it’s unique. You don’t find that sort of thing at the movies nowadays.

A movie about a Playboy bunny: good. A PG-13 rating: bad. Anna Faris as said Playboy bunny: good. Overblown collagen lip injections: bad. Cameos by the Girls Next Door: good. An attempt at acting by Hugh Hefner: bad.

Anna Faris is hot. And she’s in a bikini top and hot pants through much of The House Bunny. I’ll drink to that!

The filmmakers might have been drinking while making Death Race. Why not join them?

This movie is like much of Anderson’s films… a big steaming pile of crap, but still a lot of fun to watch.

Writer Pam Brady and director Andrew Fleming assured me they were drunk during the entire writing process. So why not enjoy their movie in the same state of mind?

Back in my days of doing independent film, it was a badge of honor to get an IMDb listing. Now, it seems that any slob who owns a video camera and has a YouTube account can get listed.

With so many weak comedy vehicles coming out nowadays, it’s no wonder I expected Rainn Wilson’s first solo starring role in The Rocker to suck. That’s where I was surprised.

Please drink responsibly, and don’t throw away those awesome 80s clothes.

If Fly Me to the Moon were not in 3D, it’d hardly be worth the effort.

In his new film Vicky Christina Barcelona, the main characters spend a summer flopping around Spain and drinking wine. Wouldn’t you like to join them in this endeavor?

While the action takes place almost exclusively in Spain, the script is still a highlight of neurotic New Yorkers who babble on about nothing and everything. This is the essence of Woody Allen.

While Anakin Skywalker and his young Padawan apprentice are saving the stinky Hutt baby, knock a few back and enjoy the newest installment in the Star Wars universe like you’re in a cantina.

As a child of the 70s, this movie brought me back to all the early extended universe stuff I enjoyed as a kid – from the old ‘Droids’ cartoon to the Marvel comic book series (and yes, even The Ewok Adventure and The Star Wars Holiday Special).

My hope is that Paramount Pictures issues a heartfelt and public apology to obese American everywhere for the thoughtless and derogatory depictions of people with weight issues.

Some have suggested that this movie goes too far with inappropriate language, situations and characters, but unlike some movies, Tropic Thunder isn’t just going for shock value. At its heart, Tropic Thunder is a parody of its own industry and nothing more.

Everybody is all up-in-arms about the new film Tropic Thunder, but so few people have seen it yet. If you think you might be the least bit offended by this movie, you can stay home… or you can drink until the movie isn’t offensive at all.

If you’re a girl, you’re probably looking forward to Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. If you’re a guy, you’re probably dreading your significant other dragging you to see this movie. If you can sneak in a can, a flask or a whole fifth, here’s a way to make the experience work better for you.

In general, I try to avoid any movie with the word “Sisterhood” in the title. Be it traveling pants or divine Ya-Ya secrets, the s-word in the title is a red flag to me that it will not be my cup of tea.

It is not often that I delve into politics on this site. However, after seeing my cheddar-sharp logic that follows, I imagine that John McCain and Barack Obama will stampede to Hollywood to pick up the following running mates.
