This week, two heavyweights go toe to toe to discuss a pressing concern. Should Jack Black be stopped? What does that even mean exactly? Are you growing tired of his style of comedy?

With two leads that never mix well together using solid supporting talent as a crutch, this film hobbles along to become one of the more average comedies of all time.

Kevin Carr reviews this week’s new movies: The Proposal and Year One.

Kevin and Neil say “Screw the new films!” and dive into a bed of controversy – Kevin for calling both Sarah Palin and David Letterman idiots and Neil for some racial comments we’re sure he’ll have to apologize for at some point. Oh, and they do talk a little bit about The Proposal and Year One.

What do you get when you take an awesome adult, science fiction fantasy comic and mix it liberally with James Cameron, David Fincher, Zack Snyder, Gore Verbinski, and Mark Osborne? A Heavy Metal movie that might actually kick ass.

It’s Wednesday, which means we’re falling in love all over again with a film that shows us what happens when John Cusack gets dumped and runs a record store. Brother what a night it really was! Mother what a night it really was!

Even the New York Times has noticed how there are more fat guys in the movies than fat guys at the movies. And they name them. We too are not afraid to name names.

Last week we didn’t report that the upcoming Judd Apatow produced, Harold Ramis directed comedy Year One was hit with an R-rating by the MPAA, who cited the film as having “some sexual content and language,” but apparently it was big news around the web.

Some people claim Harold Ramis’ best directorial days are behind him, that his best films were also his first, and that he’ll never come close to those comedic masterpieces again. But with The Year One, he’s going to give it a try.

The Rachel Getting Married star is reportedly headed for vastly different territory: the wild world of expert parodist Stephen Chow.

Fox is taking a work of 18th century satire and giving the lead role to Jack Black. Now with more Jason Segel and Emily Blunt!

I know that I just said this morning that we wouldn’t be posting anything else until tomorrow, as we were taking New Year’s Day off, but this was just too good to pass up.

I know that most of you hate it when we get into politics here on FSR, but lets just consider this a work of comedy and move on with our lives.

This weekend we have two special editions of the Blu-ray Patrol, one that features a Kung Fu-fighting Panda and another that features everyone’s favorite suave spy. We begin today with a look at Kung Fu Panda’s Blu-ray release…

Doing a made-for-TV mini-series starring Ted Danson just simply isn’t enough for some people. It was announced this morning that Jack Black will co-produce and star in an adaptation of the classic story Gulliver’s Travels.

Hey kids, take note of this — $626 million dollars worldwide box office gross is going to guarantee that you get a sequel.

After delivering solid performances in three very good films in 2008, Jack Black is now looking toward the future, and it appears that he is bringing his Kung Fu Panda writers with him.

Paramount Pictures has officially released the documentary behind the movie Tropic Thunder, known as Rain of Madness, online for free on iTunes. It also includes a few surprises.

The one thing that makes Kevin Carr’s claims totally outrageous is something that no one in our audience knows about. That’s right. I’m about to drop a bombshell. A big one.

My hope is that Paramount Pictures issues a heartfelt and public apology to obese American everywhere for the thoughtless and derogatory depictions of people with weight issues.
