Currently Browsing: "Year One"

Back on track once again for this edition of This Week in Blu-ray, where it is time to recover from the hangover of Fantastic Fest and get back into the spirit of buying Blu-ray rather than hamburgers at the Alamo Drafthouse.

Rob Hunter loves movies. He also loves working as a TV producer who sets up friends and strangers alike on blind dates with unwitting actresses. These two joys come together in the form of cash money payments that he receives every week and immediately uses to buy more DVDs.

This week, on a very special Reject Radio, we discuss the finer points of Bea Arthur’s genius while attempting futilely to discuss Year One and the world of remakes taking over theaters like something that really effectively takes over something. Like Genghis Khan.

Well, it wasn’t exactly the biggest blockbuster of the summer but The Proposal did pretty well, all things considered, this weekend.

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.

The big question this weekend is whether or not either one of these two movies going out in wide release — The Proposal and Year One – has what it takes to even get past The Hangover.

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.

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.

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.

At the Tropic Thunder press junket, Jack Black took a moment to talk about a few things that won’t be inspiring controversy.

The biblical comedy from director Harold Ramis and producer Judd Apatow now has its hottie.

Jack Black talked to Collider this week about Be Kind Rewind, but ended up spilling some beans on Judd Apatow’s “biblical” comedy.
