Zooey Deschanel and Natalie Portman will be coming together for the first time (or third if you count the dream I had last night) in the new film, ‘Your Highness.’

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!

Those of you who don’t think that you have enough Joseph Gordon-Levitt in your life, just be patient. Not only does he have two big flicks coming this summer, he’s also looking to get high profile in 2010.

Now fully financed, a movie that will appeal to the greatest minds of our generation. Franco, Alda, and Mary Louise Parker get ready and set for a March start date for Howl.

In the wake of California’s Proposition 8, a film like Milk is both socially relevant and an eerie reminder of how this nation hasn’t really progressed in the past 30 years.

Kevin Carr looks at Australia, Four Christmases, Transporter 3 and Milk, in theaters this week with the FSR Report Card.

It’s the Big, Fat Thanksgiving Special! Kevin and Neil beam into the Magical Virtual Studio in the Sky two days early to get ready for their Thanksgiving feast which will keep them napping through the weekend.

It looks as if Nancy Botwin will be dealing her “MILF Weed” to the beatnik brigade in the upcoming Allen Ginsberg biopic.

To put it simply, Gus Van Sant’s upcoming film Milk, which stars Sean Penn as California’s first openly gay elected official, Harvey Milk, looks fantastic.

That’s the rumor being bandied about over at CHUD. If it’s true, then James needs an intervention of good counsel. And I’m just the man to give it.

James Franco, seen recently turning stoner humor into gold in Pineapple Express, will next be seen as Sean Penn’s gay lover in the upcoming film Milk. Or perhaps we should say he’ll be playing Penn’s very well-endowed gay lover.

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.

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.

“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.

A look at two entirely unoriginal “Pineapple Express” posters.

Seth Rogen promises a lot of things. He promised he’d call, he promised me a rose garden, and now, he’s promising all of us that he’ll be out in full force with a screening of Pineapple Express when Comic-Con rolls back to San Diego this July.

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.

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