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.

While I’ll admit that Run Fatboy Run has it’s moments and a fair share of big laughs, it’s not recommendable due to the fact that there are more cliches than you can shake a stick at. Pretty much every cliche you can find in any romantic comedy or inspirational sports movie can be found at some point in the film.

Eleven great new photos from the upcoming Will Smith superhero comedy Hancock have hit the web, and we will probably be promptly removed once Sony finds out that they have been leaked.

The first trailer has been released for the upcoming Eddie Murphy comedy Meet Dave, which stars Murphy as a guy who is really a craft of some kind, in which itty bitty people live and work. It is sort of like Innerspace, only not fun, creative or even remotely interesting.

On April 15th, Fox Searchlight will bring the indie sensation, four time Oscar nominated Juno to DVD retail outlets everywhere, and those of us who have been Jonesing for more Juno will finally get our just desserts. The clip below, titled “Cafe Triste” has been released by Fox Searchlight today to help build the buzz for the upcoming release.

It looks like the filmmakers dipped into a time vortex and plucked Jonah Hill and Michael Cera from their freshman year in high school.

The last time Ben Stiller directed a movie, we got the hilarious insanity that was Zoolander. This time around, we get an action-packed satire about the extreme personalities that exist in Hollywood.

Kevin Smith gives us an update on the wrapping of principal photography on Zack and Miri… The “______ F&^king Movie” they’ve ever made.

Seth Rogen has been confirmed as the star of the upcoming Jody Hill comedy Observe and Report.

With Will Ferrell’s newest jaunt piece Semi-Pro butt slapping and sweating its way into theaters with that 70s groove going on, now is as good a time as any to remind you that retro is always current.

Did we just become best friends? I think so…

Two hours of stand up comedy is not a film.

Is it just me, or have most of the best comedies this year been about someone getting pregnant? Or, in the case of Superbad, someone trying to do the things that lead to spawning a child?

Films that center around pregnant women, in this case a teenage girl, are nothing new, especially this year. Then how is it in 2007 the concept produces winner after winner? Damn good writing.

First we put it up, then we took it down. Then we put it back up and they made us take it down. Now it’s back — officially.

After movies like Garfield and Underdog trampled over the memories of the original stories, I feared that a big-budget, CGI-animated film about the lovable chipmunks will turn out the same way.

WB has provided us with 2 great new shots from next summer’s big screen adaptation based on the very popular 1960’s television show.

When it comes to Rowan Atkinson’s classic character Mr. Bean, you either love him or you hate him.

Enough with the superserious abortion movies, right?

It seems to be, at least to me, that Director Jason Reitman has found a very distinct formula for successfully entertaining us with sharp-witted, off-the-cuff comedies.
