Funny People — See It or Skip It?
Funny People is a new movie with a fab cast that includes Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, Leslie Mann, Eric Bana, Jonah Hill and Jason Schwartzman. The Judd Apatow film comes out in the UK on August 28, and is about a comedian (Adam) who learns he's terminally ill, and becomes friends with and mentors a younger comedian (Seth). Despite the seemingly sad subject matter, it's definitely a comedy movie — so check out the trailer and let me know what you think!
What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday
It's Tuesday, so you know what that means — new DVD releases just in time for the Thanksgiving break! I've already shared some fresh music picks, but here are three movies to add to your Netflix queue for the weekend.
Funny People
Adam Sandler plays a comedian who tries to turn his life around and befriend a past love (Leslie Mann) after being diagnosed with a blood disorder; Seth Rogen steps in as his idealistic assistant.
Aziz Ansari Gets Three Thumbs Up From Judd Apatow
Am I asleep? Because this sounds like a match made in heaven — Judd Apatow (along with Universal Pictures) has just picked up not one, not two, but three comedies starring Aziz Ansari. The yet-to-be-written ideas were pitched by the Parks and Recreation star as well as Jason Woliner, who is on board to direct.
PopSugarUK Meets the Me & Orson Welles Cast: Zac Talks Footloose & Finding Seclusion, and Claire Talks Flirting!
Yesterday I was lucky enough to spend an hour with Zac Efron! He and his castmates in Me and Orson Welles, Claire Danes and Christian McKay, talked about their new movie in a Q&A session with UK journalists alongside their director Richard Linklater. Zac looked handsome and casual in a blue t-shirt and jeans, and fiddled with a bottle top on the table while talking, he was pretty self-deprecating, as was Claire who looked gorgeous and was really funny.
Do, Dump, or Marry? Adam Sandler
Funny person Adam Sandler is trying on a more serious role in Funny People, which comes out this weekend. From his stint on Saturday Night Live to his string of hit movies after, Adam has always had a well-received and one-of-a-kind brand of comedy. But I want to know — do you find him sexy?
Ryan Goes For a Ride in LA Before Heading to NYC
Ryan Reynolds made a quick trip to Fred Segal in LA yesterday, but he looked to be leaving empty-handed as he jumped on his motorcycle and headed home. He was also spotted on his way out of the gym over the weekend, as he fit in some last-minute exercise before he's off to NYC in the coming days. He's due to make his second appearance participating in a celebrity autobiography reading, where he'll show off the same comedic skills that landed him multiple People's Choice Awards nominations for his work in The Proposal.
What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday
Tuesday means it's time to rev up your entertainment engine with new releases in music and new DVDs to add to your Netflix queue. I've checked out today's movie offerings and have some recommendations for the movies that are worth your rental time below.
Up
This Summer's hit from Pixar is as tear-jerking as it is funny and light, and equally entertaining for kids and adults.
Lawrence and Foxx to Take Their Female Alter Egos to the Big Screen
After countless box office hits, Jamie Foxx and Martin Lawrence are going back to their roots on network shows In Living Color and Martin.
Each actor portrayed an unfortunate-looking female character on their respective '90s shows — "Sheneneh" for Lawrence and "Wanda" for Foxx, and now the pair will team up to portray them in a movie called Skank Robbers. Stemming from a fake trailer of the same name at a recent awards show, studio Screen Gems picked up the movie, with Foxx and Lawrence writing and producing.
Movie Preview: The Slammin' Salmon
Good news for fans of the comedy troupe Broken Lizard, famous for their cult comedy classic Super Troopers: their latest film, The Slammin' Salmon, which languished on a shelf waiting for a distributor, got picked up by a studio this week for a release in December. And that's not all; there's a new trailer for the film, featuring not just the group's faces, but one very welcome one: How I Met Your Mother's Cobie Smulders! Jim Gaffigan and Will Forte also have parts.
The Box: An Inadequate Package to Unwrap
I so wanted The Box to be a worthy successor to Donnie Darko, director Richard Kelly's first film and much-appreciated cult fave. Unfortunately, I didn't exactly get my wish.
The Box is a highly stylized, good-looking thriller, from the retro 1976 Virginia setting to the Barbie and Ken looks of leads Cameron Diaz and James Marsden.
