Last Friday, Lisa Schwarzbaum of “Entertainment Weekly”, unleashed onto the world a brilliant thesis noting that romantic comedies are back, men are getting more sensitive, and asking the question: Are movie guys the new girls? Today, we here at FSR offer an answer: No.

Need a date movie? A popcorn flick? A thriller? We’ve got you covered — and we’ve got you in and out faster than you can say “Hey, those Film School Rejects really know what they are talkin’ about…”

Well, it was Sarah Marshall who got dumped this weekend at the box office. Or better yet, it was Judd Apatow who got dumped — not by Sarah Marshall, but by the moviegoing public, AGAIN.

Welcome to FSR’s newest weekly feature in which I break down the good, the bad, and the ugly of what Hollywood has to offer.

The DVD will probably have some great unrated special features, and I’m sure that Jason Segel’s penis is going to pop up again in them… more than once.

Knock a few back to dull the pain in the knowledge that Jason Segel got to make out with two of the hottest actresses in Hollywood today.

On This Week’s Show: Kevin professes his love for both Kristen Bell and Mila Kunis while Neil contemplates the potential consequences of fathering unknown children throughout the world.

It appears things are definitely looking up as far as theater business goes in the next few weeks. We have the Judd Apatow production Forgetting Sarah Marshall, we have the Al Pacino thriller 88 Minutes, and the action flick The Forbidden Kingdom.

Forget Sarah Marshall, or any other girl (or guy) with these Hawaiian themed drinks and a special tasty treat!

According to Yahoo! news, Judd Apatow, who has become a juggernaut of comedies in the last three years with films like Knocked Up, The 40-Year Old Virgin and Superbad will be honored as Comedy Person of the Year at the Just for Laughs comedy festival in Montreal, July 10-20.

Theater lobby displays are certainly nothing new. I remember way back in the day a number of Looney Tunes displays graced the floors of my local cineplex when Space Jam came out. According to /Film, Pixar’s Wall-E is the newest to add something to lobby charm.

I really loved this one, it was one of my favorites of the festival and I can’t wait until all of you can see it.

Judd Apatow’s camp comes through again with a comedy that is a lot smarter than you would initially think… [Grade: B+]

Paramount Pictures has released some new shots from Ben Stiller’s next film.

I just came from the WonderCon preview panel for Forgetting Sarah Marshall where they showed six minutes of footage (a mix of old and new), and I’m still laughing.

The South by Southwest Film Festival announces it’s official line-up.

We begin our official 2008 movie preview with Universal Studios — and the return of some larger-than-life superheroes.

The Judd Apatow invasion continues. This time its a possible break-out film for another Freaks and Geeks alum.
