Vince Vaughn is a Sperm Donation Maestro in the Trailer for DELIVERY MAN

Vince Vaughn is a Sperm Donation Maestro in the Trailer for DELIVERY MAN

In this Dreamworks-financed, Vince Vaughn-led comedy, Vaughn plays an average delivery man with relationship problems who discovers that a mix-up with his sperm bank donations 20 years ago have led to him amassing 533 biological children. On a quest to be a guardian angel of sorts to this small town worth of children, Vaughn’s David...

Weekly Review 27: JESSE AND CELESTE FOREVER, FAST FIVE, MAMA, UPSTREAM COLOR, OZ: THE GREAT AND POWERFUL, THE LAST EXORCISM: PART 2

It’s been a long, long time since the last edition of Weekly Review so this installment should realistically read more like Monthly Review butlet’s just pretend together here. Aside from some at home viewing that included getting through the first season of BBC’s Luther, which I’ve really begun to enjoy, some easily digestible watching with...

First Look at Darren Aronofsky's NOAH

Darren Aronofsky‘s Noah has been a long time coming and moved to the forefront of his impending projects after abandoning The Wolverine, effectively dooming it to inevitable mediocrity. But don’t expect this Biblical tale to be a preachy fantasy as Aronofsky’s indelibly dark touch will be sure to make this a dark thematic exploration of...

Out in Theaters: THE HEAT

By far, the film's largest problem is that when it's not funny, it's annoying. It's like watching a game made up solely of Hail Mary's that shows no sign of…

Tell Me if This Trailer For PRINCE AVALANCHE Appeals to You

Tell Me if This Trailer For PRINCE AVALANCHE Appeals to You

  It was hard for me not to feel duped when I walked into Prince Avalanche expecting an indie comedy with dramatic undertones and walked out feeling like I’d just wasted two hours of my life on a steamy, bloated, self-masturbatory, art fart with absolutely no semblance of structure, pace or character investment. I’m a...

Lots and Lots of Beer in Trailer For DRINKING BUDDIES

Lots and Lots of Beer in Trailer For DRINKING BUDDIES

Drinking Buddies is an all around interesting piece partially because director Joe Swanberg didn’t really have a script and just let his actors riff off each other to intriguing result and partially because of the lively chemistry between the affable cast that includes Olivia Wilde, Jake Johnson, John Livingstone and Anna Kendrick. Everything feels a...

Ashton Kutcher is Steve Jobs in JOBS Trailer

Ashton Kutcher is Steve Jobs in JOBS Trailer

  Not to be confused with the intriguing biopic about Apple man Steve Jobs from Academy Award-winning Aaron Sorkin, a film set to play out in a mere three scenes that is currently sitting without an official title, Jobs, starring Ashton Kusher, appears at first glance to be a more soft-boiled effort. After its premiere...
