Thanks to the Hollywood Insider, we’re almost sure that one of the less-than-generic Wayans brothers, Marlon, will play Richard Pryor in Happy Madison Productions/Sony Pictures’s forthcoming Richard Pryor: Is it Something I Said.

Yoostar put’s you in your favorite scenes from your favorite movies. And Employee of the Month.

I refuse to make this article about Transformers. I refuse to talk about how awful of an actor Megan Fox is, who cannot even effectively scream “Saaaaaaam!” I refuse to espouse on the ridiculous plot. I refuse to complain about seeing John Turturro’s hairy buttcheeks in my face, 20 feet high.

Kevin Carr reviews this week’s new movies: The Taking of Pelham 123 and Imagine That.

After a couple good weeks with at least one good movie to enjoy, Kevin and Neil hit the dog days of the cinematic summer. The Fat Guys debate the ability of John Travolta to be a badass and wonder why Eddie Murphy is still making films. Neil also threatens to stab Kevin in the eyeballs.

Remember the iconic, legendary comic that never, ever got un-funny in the slightest measure? Bill Condon has attached Pluto Nash to play him.

Brett Ratner insists he won’t water things down in his upcoming resurrection of the Beverly Hills Cop franchise. Are he and Eddie Murphy up to the challenge?

Kevin’s son Liam joins the Fat Guys as a special guest because he’s seen more movies this week than Neil has… but Neil still brags about seeing The Dark Knight already.

Watch out, Eddie Murphy, Robert Fure has had enough of your antics!

Well, also “R” for “Restricted.”

As I watched Mike Myers embarrass himself in The Love Guru, I thought to myself “What was he thinking?” Granted, this was probably an ego project and Myers didn’t necessarily have me and my comedic sensibilities in mind when he wanted to get this flick made. But it brings up a valid question.

I’m sure Brett Ratner is a nice enough guy. But watching his movies has been clinically proven to cause acute cerebral hemorrhaging in lab rats.

So sadly, it looks like Eddie Murphy hasn’t used up all of his credibility in Hollywood. Murphy will be pushing 50 when, according to Variety, he will attempt to reprise his role as Axel Foley from the popular Beverly Hills Cop films.
