Not all horror has to be serious business. Lighten up with what may just be the best (only?) zombie horror musical comedy of all times in this installment of the 31 Days of Horror.

Anna Faris is pulling out of the Linda Lovelace biopic Inferno because it’s too serious a role. Is she right to stick to comedy?

A long, long time ago, I mentioned a twentieth anniversary set for Mystery Science Theater 3000. I am a huge fan of the series, and I did like the Film Crew spin-off. So when I was instructed by an FSR reader to check out some more stuff from the MST3K gang, I was floored.

Adapted from a stage play, The “Butchershop Chronicles” proves Platinum Dunes doesn’t get all its ideas from the video rental store.

Breaking up is hard to do. Make it a little easier on yourself with these five flicks or, for you sadists, enhance your heart break with our sad selection. After all, the more you hurt, the more it shows you really care, right?

This movie has an awesome title and will probably revolve around cheerleaders getting murdered!

Fat, follicle-free, and funny, Tom Cruise may yet get back in favor with his formerly rabid fans in his role as Les Grossman, the overweight, foul-mouthed, bald studio head in Ben Stiller’s Tropic Thunder.

From the elongated name to its Sahara-dry wit, An American Messiah is indie all around the edges. It borrows from the awkward-stare classroom of comedy that Christopher Guest perfected and Michael Scott made new again, but director Christopher Hansen and company have chosen to focus on The Almighty. Sort of.

Film School Rejects is giving away passes to an advanced screening of What Happens in Vegas.

As you can probably gather from the title of this article above, I am about to spew some pessimism all over the upcoming comedy College. But before I get to that, please at least watch this trailer.

Bawdy comic Tucker Max has finally managed to get his book I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell headed towards the big screen.

Justin Marks has signed on to script the upcoming comic adaptation of “Hack/Slash” which follows the adventures of a sexy survivor tracking down and slaying real life serial killing monsters. Nice.

We have rounded up a few copies of Lars and the Real Girl on DVD, which hits shelves on April 15th, and we’d like to pass them along to you.

For anyone wondering if a good DVD release can save an otherwise mediocre movie, Bee Movie is your answer. The film itself fell somewhere in the middle (and quite possibly the bottom) of my list last year, but the DVD has brought it up a notch or two.

What do you do when you have two of the best comedic actors in the business - Paul Rudd and Jason Segel - slated for your new comedy? How about adding an Emmy-winning female presence to the mix?

Al Gore has global warming. Rev. Jim Phelps has homosexuality. Uwe Boll has film critics. Everyone needs something to fight whether it matters to the rest of the world or not and director Henry Bean takes noise pollution to task in his sarcastic, clever, witty David and Goliath comedy Noise.
