In the world of reviewing Blu-ray releases, I am a lover, not a fighter. And when it comes to Forgetting Sarah Marshall on Blu-ray, I’m loving it up big time.

Enough, already. I don’t have a problem with male nudity, but this is getting to be a bit much.

Robert Fure can get mad over just about anything. This time, he’s had too much of a good thing and is concerned with a new Hollywood trend that leaves the traditional story arc behind in favor of more, more, more.

Over the past few months, there have been all sorts of rumors about a possible third Ghostbusters movie. At this point, all we can say is what we’ve heard from guys like Dan Aykroyd.

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.

Last year at Comic-Con we needed photos to prove that we were part of the in crowd. We displayed these photos in a feature that we called We Know People. And just like we did with Comic-Con, we are bringing it all back this year…

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

You don’t even know who Atom Egoyan is, do you?

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.

Don’t get me wrong, I am a huge fan of Seth Rogen. In fact, his upcoming collaboration with Kevin Smith in Zack and Miri Make a Porno is certainly toward the top of my must-see Fall movies list. But I will be damned if Seth doesn’t do a lot of talking about his upcoming projects.

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.

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

The future is so bright for Seth Rogen that he’s going to need Aviator sunglasses. He’ll also need a taser and an ill-fitting pair of Dickie’s to step into the role of a mall rent-a-cop in the tentatively titled Observe and Report. Of course, it’s weird to say that his future is bright when, you know, his present is pretty blinding as well.

Eric Bana is no stranger to comedy. Does that surprise you?

It looks like comedy duo Seth Rogen and Judd Apatow may have woken up, smelled the coffee, and realized that using Jonah Hill in every other freaking comedy that they produce is not the greatest idea in the world.

McKay, who helmed the brilliant first film four years ago said that Anchorman 2 is happening “for sure,” unless they can’t get the cast together. However, “They’re dying to do it.”

It’s a dark day for me. A tragic, listless day that makes me want to watch Bloodrayne to remind myself that life isn’t that bad. But it is, because today’s the first day in my life that I’ve read about a new Judd Apatow movie and groaned instead of jumping for joy.

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.

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.
