50/50 (review)
An honest, hilarious, laugh-till-you-cry look at how very much it sucks to get very sick as a young person. Or at any age, really…
Seth Rogen
great movie quotes: ‘Paul’
“Was that Klingon? You psychotic nerd.” –Paul (Seth Rogen) to Clive (Nick Frost)
great movie quotes: ‘The Green Hornet’
“We’re renegade superheroes and that’s a lot of stress in fact, but you didn’t have to freak out.” –Britt Reid/The Green Hornet (Seth Rogen)
Paul (review)
What if you and your most superbly geeky bestest friend ever met an alien? I mean a real life honest-to-Carl Sagan extry terrestrial. What if? You would plotz. You would. Like Nick Frost’s Clive does here, you would giggle like a loon and then faint, out cold from the sheer splendidness of this happenstance. I know I would.
The Green Hornet (review)
He doesn’t exactly kick ass: he is an ass. Life as a masked crime fighter with some slick wheels to groove him around town is not the chick magnet he imagined it would be…
trailer break: ‘The Green Hornet’

July 31: DVD alternatives to this weekend’s multiplex offerings
We know how it is: You’d like to go to the movies this weekend, but Adam Sandler dying of some awful disease isn’t your idea of a good time. But you can have a multiplex-like experience at home with a collection of the right DVDs. And when someone asks you on Monday, “Hey, did you … more…
Funny People (review)
Tears of a Clown Oh, people are gonna hate this movie. Look, the jokes are not jokes in Funny People. The humorous-sounding bits of dialogue are not intended to make you laugh so much as they are intended to make you wonder why the characters uttering them are trying to make those around them laugh. … more…
