In what seems like a pretty standard story, Natalie Portman has signed on to co-star with Danny McBride and James Franco in the David Gordon Green-directed Your Highness. Notice how awesome I’ve gotten at name-dropping. Notice!

Once again, here I stand on the edge of all things cool and new and awesome. I firmly believe that I am the only person alive who has not had time to watch HBO’s hit series Eastbound and Down. Luckily, there is DVR. For the rest of you, there will be season 2.

Two of my favorite people in the industry, Pineapple Express director David Gordon Green and 30 Days of Night writer Steve Niles are teaming up in a big way for Overture Films.

Sensational indie director David Gordon Green’s latest film Snow Angels is headed to DVD this week, and we’ve got your chance to win it before you can buy it.

FSR newcomer Conrad Rothbaum was sent out, on assignment to see Pineapple Express on one condition: no pregame smoke. As it turns out, no herbal enhancements were needed to enjoy the film.

Rumors are currently swirling around that Natalie Portman’s production company, Handsome Charlie Films, will be producing the upcoming remake of Dario Argento’s Suspiria.

Let me start off by saying that I’m not a big fan of stoner movies. For that matter, I’m not a big fan of stoners, period. Does that make me an old fart? Perhaps, but at least you know where I’m coming from.

Let’s just assume that most die-hard fans of the Pineapple Express genre aren’t necessarily going to be drinking while seeing this movie. But for those of you who want to enjoy a stoner action flick whilst drunk, here’s a chance.

Will Ferrel gets his big break co-directing episodes of his new HBO comedy series, “Eastbound and Down,” with longtime pal Adam McKay.

“You should make a weed action movie,” Judd Apatow said to Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, and thus was birthed Pineapple Express.

I sat and watched Pineapple Express at a special screening last night. First off, it was just as funny as you might expect. Secondly, the film was followed by a Q&A with the film’s stars, director and producer.

Today we get our first listen of the Pineapple Express theme song written and performed by Huey Lewis. And yes, it absolutely lives up to the hype.

Neil and Kevin break out the corsages and tuxedos to get ready for their big Prom Night. Neil admits to wanting to make out with both Keanu Reeves and Michael Bay while Kevin prepares to defend Uwe Boll. It’s a mess of springtime shenanigans with the Fat Guys at the movies.

Recently, Neil Miller and I had a chance to interview director David Gordon Green while he was in town promoting his latest film Snow Angels. Soon, the conversation turned to the entropy of a Neil Miller discussion of film…. Michael Bay.

Director David Gordon Green sat down with us to talk about Snow Angels, his Sundance ’07 hit that is finally getting its theatrical release this weekend. Not only did we discover the lighter side of Snow Angels, but we also got to prod Green about his next film, Pineapple Express.

While I didn’t think David Gordon Green’s film Snow Angels was flawless, it is clear that he made the film for himself and his own artistic sector, and he won’t be hurt or offended if it never cracks the mainstream nugget.

Generally, stoner comedies can be characterized by their inaction, or the lack of motivation that their characters have once they have smoked up all the green. But Pineapple Express seems to be more about getting some action, making it the first stoner action comedy — at least as far as I can recall this early in the morning.

The early trailers featured the infectious jam “Paper Planes”, the theme song is being composed by the legendary Huey Lewis and now we learn that Bone Thugs, Shaquille O’Neal and other 80s favs will be on the Pineapple Express soundtrack. This is amazing!

David Gordon Green’s upcoming stoner comedy gets a green-band trailer that looks just like the red-band one, just without the cursing.

Could David Gordon Green be that man to inject new life into the Dario Argento classic?
