Adam McKay, the director of Anchorman and Step Brothers, has now won an Oscar for making a film that works tremendously well as a scathingly funny indictment of America’s most recent financial crisis. Here is a movie that eschews proper characters arcs in favor of being a terrifying lecture about how things went so wrong […]

From the guy that gave you a scene in Step Brothers, where Will Ferrell put his testicles on John C. Reilly’s drum set, you now have the film that awarded him an Oscar nomination for Best Director and more. Based on the best-selling book by Michael Lewis, THE BIG SHORT details the true story of four outsiders who […]

Somewhere there’s a big joke in all of this, that is if you’re familiar with all the Ant-Man drama over the past year. Between y’all and I, it’s a wonder this movie even got made, nonetheless successfully completed before its official July 17th release date. Now with most movies, there are some behind the scenes drama at […]

Ant-Man is coming and troubled behind-the-scenes business aside, many surely have enough faith in the […]

Disclaimer: This opening paragraphs consists of all original thoughts, phrases and ideas. Admittedly so, I missed this one in theaters. I got lazy. I never showed up. I even lost the free movie cash we had to see this one. Boo! However, I was still curious to see where this second and supposedly final film […]

How appropriate they pick April Fools Day for the Blu-ray release date of Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, huh? I think so! And I’m also very stoked and excited about this news as try as I might I not only missed the press screening of this comedy last year, but I also misplaced the free movie […]

I was relieved that Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues turned out to be a lot of fun. I expected a Blu-ray to be packed with deleted, alternate, and extended scenes. That will still likely happen, but now everyone will get a chance to see exactly that, as an alternate cut of the film, dubbed the […]

I have been a huge fan of HBO’s comedy series Eastbound & Down and its ridiculous, foul-mouthed anti-hero character Kenny Powers since the beginning. I know some people are not big on Danny McBride, but I find him hilarious and this show, which he is heavily involved the production of, was a perfect way to […]

I have recently had discussions about comedy sequels with some friends. They are not easy to pull off, which is obvious just due to the fact that it is hard to name more than a couple comedy sequels offhand that really match up to the original film. For all the fun I had and continue […]
