In less than two weeks, the moment that millions of fans have been dreaming about will finally become a reality; ‘Arrested Development‘ will return for a fourth season. I haven’t written much about the return of ‘Arrested Development’, but I think everyone that signed a petition or sent in a letter to the show’s creators [...]
Universal Studios Home Entertainment has announced that the recent comedy IDENTITY THIEF (click the link to read the review), from director Seth Gordon and starring Jason Bateman, Melissa McCarthy, Jon Cho, Robert Patrick, Amanda Peet, Eric Stonestreet and Jon Favreau, will be available in a Blu-ray/DVD/UltraViolet combo pack on June 4th, 2013. IDENTITY THIEF follows [...]
Although I don’t think it was ever really in question, today we have confirmation that Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis are all returning for the sequel to their hit comedy HORRIBLE BOSSES. Director Seth Gordon is also returning and it looks like Jamie Foxx will reprise his role of Motherf’er Jones, although Foxx [...]
I wouldn’t say that Seth MacFarlane “bombed” at the Oscars, but I think it’s safe to say that he didn’t go over very well with everyone in the audience. So the speculation immediately began about who will host next year’s awards and the first name on most people’s list was Tina Fey, who did a [...]
A mild mannered accountant must undertake a very different vacation to Florida as he pursues an outrageous woman who’s stolen his identity and as a result, has had him served up to the police. Bringing her back is the only to clear his name, but he soon realizes this is easier said than done. It’s [...]
Jason Bateman is about to have a busy 2013. His new movie IDENTITY THIEF opens up this weekend and then he has the long awaited return of his show ‘Arrested Development’ due to hit Netflix in May. But the well-liked funnyman isn’t stopping there, he’s just signed on to produce and star in the ensemble [...]
After BRIDESMAIDS came out, America couldn’t get enough of Melissa McCarthy. She took advantage of the success and got her own sitcom (‘Mike and Molly’) and lined up a couple of comedies which she’s headlining. The first of those is IDENTITY THIEF, in which she plays a woman that steals the identity of a man [...]
A new trailer has been released for IDENTITY THIEF starring Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy, and just as I suspected – it looks pretty hilarious. Those two appear to make a great team and I personally can’t wait to see another Jason Bateman film. Every since he came back on the scene comedies have become [...]
One of the very promising comedies that will hit theaters early next year is IDENTITY THIEF starring Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy. The character posters below are pretty standard and lackluster, but it doesn’t lessen my excitement for the film, because Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy together in a film pretty much sounds great and [...]
It’s been a long wait for fans of the too-soon canceled television show ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT as there has been talk of a fourth season coming to Netflix next year as well as a new movie that’s in development. It feels like we’ve been waiting forever to see the Bluth family and all their shenanigans, but [...]
Social media can be a curse or blessing depending on how you look at it. Sure it’s great to reconnect with old friends from grade school, but do we really need to know every single action our “friends” take throughout the day or see 4,500 photos of their kids? Not to mention how dangerous it [...]
It could be argued that Jason Bateman is one of the hottest comic commodities in Hollywood. With his recent string of big screen successes (THE SWITCH, HORRIBLE BOSSES and THE CHANGE-UP and not be mention Arrested Development) he’s one of those seasoned actors that I’m sure directors are lining up to work with. Unfortunately for [...]
Does anyone else love Jason Bateman as much as I do? I fondly remember him when he participated in the television show Silver Spoons and then turned into a canine in TEEN WOLF TOO and I was of course ecstatic when I saw him reemerge on the much too short lived Arrested Development. Since Arrested [...]
Although it’s easy to trash, I thought HORRIBLE BOSSES was perfect for what it was; a straight up, R-rated comedy. Its goal was strictly to make you laugh and I found myself laughing consistently throughout the film. So I’m moderately excited to see that Warner Bros. is planning on a sequel and stars Jason Bateman, [...]
When the concept of HORRIBLE BOSSES was first announced I had mixed feelings. On one hand I thought it was a great idea that, if done correctly, could end up being one of the better comedies out there. However, if it wasn’t in the hands of the right people it could end up being worse [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant While speaking at The New Yorker Festival, ‘Arrested Development’ creator Mitch Hurowitz dropped some big-time news regarding the planned ‘Arrested Development’ movie. Rumors have been swirling around this project since the show prematurely went off the air, but this is the closest we’ve come to getting something concrete. But what’s more, [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Aside from BRIDESMAIDS, one of the better R-rated comedies this summer was the Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds body-swap comedy THE CHANGE-UP. Sure, it’s a little juvenile to revisit the body-swap genre that was so famous in the 80′s, but Bateman and Reynolds are hilarious and they’re uber-popular at the moment, [...]
Posted by: Zack Bruce I saw THE CHANGE-UP a couple of weeks after it came out. I’m a huge fan of Ryan Reynolds as well as Jason Bateman so the fact that they were coming together for a comedy sounded like a good time. Turned out to be an okay time. Olivia Wilde was in [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant One pleasant surprise this summer was the raunchy comedy HORRIBLE BOSSES in which three guys struggling with their jobs decide to team up and kill the other’s bosses. It was a simple premise, but with Jason Sudekis, Jason Bateman and Charlie Day playing the murderers and Jennifer Aniston, Colin Farrell and [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Two of the biggest comedians this summer have to be Jason Bateman (THE CHANGE-UP and HORRIBLE BOSSES) and Melissa McCarthy (who had a breakout performance in BRIDESMAIDS). It looks like the two will team up for the upcoming comedy ID THEFT which will be written by Steve Conrad and Craig Mazin [...]
Mitch and Dave have been best friends since childhood but couldn’t be more different. Dave is a career driven machine on the verge of making partner at his law firm and is also happily married with three kids. Mitch is a big kid who dabbles in acting, smokes a lot of weed and sleeps with [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant I’m not sure what it is, but people just love the idea of apes taking over the world. Tim Burton’s 2001 remake of PLANET OF THE APES managed to pull in $68 million on its opening weekend and this weekend’s prequel, RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, looks like it [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant It’s probably not going to be a big surprise to find out that Michael Bay’s third installment TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON has pulled out another successful weekend at the box office. The two “big” openers this week were HORRIBLE BOSSES, the comedy starring Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis, [...]
With proven funnymen Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day, not to mention proven A-list stars like Jennifer Aniston, Colin Farrell, Kevin Spacey and Jamie Foxx, it’s hard not to be excited about HORRIBLE BOSSES. Warner Brothers has assembled a comedic version of THE AVENGERS and is hoping that at least one actor of the [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant After achieving moderate success with their 2009 comedy COUPLES RETREAT, funnymen Jason Bateman and Vince Vaugh have decided to re-team for another film. This time, the duo will star as best friends who grow up and have children of their own. But when one of their daughters gets impregnated by the [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Universal Studios Home Entertainment has announced that the extra terrestrial comedy PAUL, starring Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, Jane Lynch, Jason Bateman and featuring the voice of Seth Rogen, will be released in a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack on August 9, 2011. The film follows two British comic geeks [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant There are a couple of summer comedies coming out that I’m really looking forward to and one of them is HORRIBLE BOSSES. The premise is simple but if done right it can be hilarious and I’m really keeping my fingers crossed that they don’t hold back. Three guys who have had [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant A while ago, we saw the first red band trailer for the R-rated comedy THE CHANGE-UP, starring Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman. Although the premise has been done to death, the trailer sparked a few chuckles here and there. Now we get our first “PG” trailer and I think we just [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant One of the summer films I’ve been eagerly anticipating is the comedy HORRIBLE BOSSES, starring Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, Charlie Day, Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Spacey and Colin Farrell. I think this looks pretty darn funny, which is probably because it’s too relatable (as in I really disliked my boss, not that [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant There are many comedies opening up this summer that I’m excited about (BRIDESMAIDS, THE CHANGE-UP), but the one that has the most pressure to be funny is HORRIBLE BOSSES. With an A-list, all star cast, this film should keep you rolling the entire time. I’m anxious to see a trailer for [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant I love it when trailers prove me wrong about a movie. When I first read the synopsis for THE CHANGE-UP, I immediately complained that it was going to be like every other body-swap movie and completely wrote it off. Then I get a look at the red band trailer and I [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Of all the comedies coming out this summer, including BRIDESMAIDS, BAD TEACHER, THE HANGOVER PART II and FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS, one of my most anticipated is HORRIBLE BOSSES. The film has an awesome cast and from what I’ve heard the screenplay is pretty great as well. It stars: Jennifer Aniston, Colin [...]
Graeme and Clive are two of the biggest comic book/science fiction geeks around and are fresh out of England on a tour of the U S of A which begins at Comic Con and continues through some of the most famous alien themed sites the world has to offer. Their tame little adventure gets kicked [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Spring is just around the corner but you may have to spend one more weekend indoors before the frolicking in the meadow begins, thank goodness you have a couple of films to pick-up this week to keep you company on the couch. First off is the Academy Award nominated film THE [...]
I think everyone has one or two films that you can sit down to watch at any time of day and leave with this nice warm and comforting feeling that just relaxes you and makes everything seem okay with the world. Most likely these “comfort” films are comedies or romantic comedies for women and probably [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Two comic book fans (Simon Pegg and Nick Frost) are road tripping across the U.S. and come upon an alien that happens to be outside Area 51. The alien is Paul (voiced by Seth Rogen) who is a not your typical extra-terrestrial as he is fond of weed and cursing. As [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Another FREAKY FRIDAY-esque film is on the way, but this time with the boys. Jason Bateman, Ryan Reynolds, Leslie Mann, Olivia Wilde and Alan Arkin will star in the upcoming comedy THE CHANGE-UP. The story is simple, a married guy switches bodies with his best friend in order to woo his [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Lionsgate Home Entertainment has announced that the comedy THE SWITCH, starring Jason Bateman, Jennifer Aniston, Jeff Goldblum and Patrick Wilson, will be available on Blu-ray March 15th, 2011. The film follows a woman (Aniston) who wants to get pregnant while single and her best friend (Bateman) accidentally becomes the sperm donor [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Seth Rogen, Simon Pegg, Jason Bateman, Jane Lynch and Kristen Wiig all in the same movie, seriously, what could be more funny? Well maybe if one of them were an alien.. PAUL follows a pair of buddies who are road tripping it through Area 51 when they come upon an alien [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant We’ve all had those awful bosses that make going to work a dreaded event, but have you ever considered knocking off your boss? Such is the premise for the upcoming film HORRIBLE BOSSES, starring: Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, Charlie Day, Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx. When the [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Probably frustrated with the comedic drought her husband, Judd Apatow, is in, Leslie Mann has decided to hitch her rising star to that of fellow rising stars Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman in the new comedy THE CHANGE-UP. None of the roles have officially been set in stone, but the good [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Olivia Wilde has come a long way since her brief stint on ‘The O.C.”. She’s managed to assemble quite an impressive resume of future projects, most notably nabbing the female lead in the upcoming COWBOYS AND ALIENS with Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford and this fall’s TRON: LEGACY. Today she goes [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant When I realized I was inspired to write this editorial, I had to peek outside my window to see if Armageddon hadn’t swept through the world. Me defending Jennifer Aniston has to be a signal to the end of the world. I’ve bashed her relentlessly since the 6th or 7th season [...]
If you’ve been caught up in Bill O’Reilly spouting off complaints about THE SWITCH and it’s inevitable contribution to the decline of the American family, you may be disinterested with the film and might skip it in fear it’s nothing more than fodder for controversy. Although “no press is bad press” usually rings true for [...]
Posted by: Nathan Swank Isaiah Mustafa will join the impressive cast list of HORRIBLE BOSSES. Mustafa is a former NFL football player, but you might recognize him as the guy from the insanely popular Old Spice commercials. The Emmy-nominated commercials have helped boost Old Spice body products a whopping107%. I admit, I’m a huge fan [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant ‘Modern Family’ is another one of those new comedies that I haven’t gotten around to watching. I laugh at the previews, but still haven’t found time to sit and watch an episode. One of the show’s stars, Julie Bowen, is beginning to capitalize on the film’s success with a couple of [...]
Posted by: Nathan Swank Kevin Spacey has been cast as the third and final boss in HORRIBLE BOSSES. He joins an already incredible cast of Jennifer Aniston, Jamie Foxx, Colin Farell, Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day. The dark comedy is about a group of guys (Day, Sudeikis, Bateman) who decide to kill each [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant The cast for Seth Gordon’s HORRIBLE BOSSES is starting to come together nicely. Jason Sudeikis is the third and final member of the group of guys that ban together to kill each other’s bosses. Jason Bateman and Charlie Day are the other two guys while Jennifer Aniston and Colin Farrell play [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Several actors are in negotiations to star alongside Colin Farrell in the workplace comedy HORRIBLE BOSSES. These actors include: Jennifer Aniston, Jason Bateman and Charlie Day, best for his role in the television series It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. HORRIBLE BOSSES is about three friends who become so frustrated with their [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant I remember reading about THE SWITCH with Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman starring and at the time, I thought it felt like a standard romantic comedy. Even watching the first part of the trailer, it felt like this was something we’ve seen a thousand times before. But then it made a [...]
