Kevin Carr’s Weekly Report Card: July 30, 2010
Features By Kevin Carr on July 30, 2010 | Comments (1)This week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr is all giddy because he’s been invited to a “Dinner for Winners” (though no one has the heart to tell him it’s really a Dinner for Schmucks). He also puts on his 3D glasses to take a gander at some furry spies in Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore. Finally, he squeals with excitement about the new Zefron film, but then weeps uncontrollably because Universal didn’t screen it in advance for him.
‘Due Date’ Trailer Gives Us Galifianakis and Gigglitis
Movie News By Neil Miller on July 14, 2010 | Be the First To CommentThe combination of Todd Phillips and Zach Galifianakis worked once with The Hangover. Why can’t it work again? I don’t see why it wouldn’t, especially considering the fact that their next film Due Date includes the charismatic and very talented Robert Downey Jr. Together, Iron Man and bearded guy play two schmucks who are trying to get back to their home city before one of them (Downey) becomes a father. For whatever reason, they are stuck together. And despite a few jokes that land flat in this first trailer, most of it hits — at least it gave me a case of the sillies. I guess you’ll have to watch it for yourself, then decide. The full synopsis and trailer await you after the jump.
Exclusive: An Introduction to ‘Operation: Endgame’
Movie News By Neil Miller on July 9, 2010 | Comments (5)We first became hip to the upcoming straight-to-DVD action comedy Operation: Endgame earlier this week with the release of the film’s green band trailer. To be honest, I’ve been ignoring it for a few weeks in my email inbox because I’m too lazy to read about it. But once I got around to watching the trailer, I was interested. It combines Rob Corddry, hot off some humorous moments in Hot Tub Time Machine with the likes of Zach Galifianakis, Adam Scott, Ellen Barkin, Bob Odenkirk, Odette Yustman, Emelie de Ravin and that guy Joe Anderson, who was awesome in The Crazies. When combined with some action and some laughs in the trailer, it all has me wondering why the heck this is being released straight to DVD. Find out why after the jump…
The Career of Zach Galifianakis Goes ‘Limpet’
Movie News By Neil Miller on June 15, 2010 | Comments (1)There’s a suggestive headline I’d like to take back. But I can’t. All is fair in the world of bait-and-switch (that’s not true). The switch is that seeing comedian Zach Galifianakis bring his unique sensibilities to a role made famous by wacko-man Don Knotts isn’t such a bad idea. And a remake of The Incredible Mr. Limpet easily fits into the “it could be worse” category of Hollywood rehashings.
Zach Galifianakis, Anthony Hopkins and the Rise of Exorcism
Movie News By Neil Miller on February 25, 2010 | Be the First To CommentThere’s strange, and then there’s really strange. And then there’s sort of strange, which is in itself a completely different genre. I don’t know into which category this piece of news falls, but I know that it’s a little off the beaten path. Two new projects are in place that center around the world of exorcism. We ask: is this a new trend, or just coincidence?

Movie News By Cole Abaius on November 11, 2009 | Be the First To CommentThis week, on a very special episode of Reject Radio, Jake Gyllenhaal ends up appearing in almost every segment randomly. Him as a topic. He doesn’t actually appear on the show.
Galifianakis Might Fall Off a Wall for ‘Shrek’ Spin-Off

Box Office Has a ‘Hangover’ on Another ‘Up’ Weekend
Box Office By John Cairns on June 8, 2009 | Comments (9)Well, we have quite a number of stories to report this weekend and I guess the biggest one is the surprisingly strong showing of The Hangover, which exceeded expectations and just about toppled Up from first place this weekend.
Move over Drag Me To Hell, 2009 has a new comedy king! It’s only June but I feel fairly confident calling The Hangover the funniest film of 2009. Bruno and Funny People seem like the only remaining films with a chance of beating it (the former more so than the latter), but I’m calling it now. Go see this movie! Just be sure to take a lesson from my mistake and remember to wear your rubber underwear.
