This week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr heads into a lab to liberate some apes, but they rise up, beat him down and fling their poo all over him. He washes up and heads home to his family, secretly longing for the swinging lifestyle of fellow FSR staffers like Neil Miller, Robert Fure and Rob Hunter. But since he doesn’t get a chance to pee in a fountain with any of them, he doesn’t get a chance to switch bodies with them, a la The Change-Up. This is probably a good thing because few people can take the awesomessness of his body.

A young scrappy pilot, conveniently, accomplishes what a non-freakazoid Howard Hughes (played by the Terry O’Quinn) and a few lackeys at the C.I.A. couldn’t do: create a flying man! That pilot, Cliff, becomes that gold helmeted flying phenom. This comic book adaptation is full of Nazis, a vain and villainous actor, and an ugly as hell goon. What more could you ask for?

Our intention is to expand so-bad-it’s-good into the more irresponsible realm of so-bad-it’s-fattening by offering up movie-related junkfood to complete the film-watching experience. This month’s theme is lesser superhero films and today’s is a real treat: The Rocketeer!

Amy Adams and Emily Blunt star as two loser sisters who pull it together by cleaning up other people’s suicides.

The first trailer for Sunshine Cleaning, which stars Amy Adams as a single mom who starts up an unusual business with her sister, played by Emily Blunt, has hit the web this afternoon.

In terms of reaching a 21st century audience, Get Smart was about as good as it could be.

When Peter Segal and Co. set out to make this new version of Get Smart, they set out not to remake, but to reinvigorate. In that light, their film can be seen as a significant accomplishment.

We spent a day with all the cast members of Get Smart, and it quickly turned into a Steve Carell lovefest. Deservedly so, we say! Find out more about what’ll be coming up in this bumbling spy movie based on the bumbling spy television series as our Spy Week continues.

The website for the upcoming Warner Brothers film Get Smart, starring Steve Carell, Anne Hathaway and The Rock gets a sleek makeover.

Steve Carell brings the funny, Anne Hathaway brings the sex and Get Smart finally delivers an awesome trailer!

Some art is created for its own sake and some art has a purpose beyond entertainment. Rendition, from director Gavin Hood, definitely falls into the latter category. While an intriguing story in its own right, there is also a timely message that the creators wish to deliver to the audience, and it doesn’t take a subtle mind to detect it. The intent is obvious from the title alone.

It’s Oscar season again. Can you feel it? Of course you can. The air is getting colder, it is about to snow here in Ohio (not really, but close enough) and studios are already starting to send press sweet DVD screeners. One particular screener that I am interested in receiving from the FedEx guy is Rendition, starring Reese Witherspoon, Jake Gyllenhaal, Meryl Streep, Peter Sarsgaard and Alan Arkin.
