p-reviews: i'm not there

i'm not exactly sure what my reaction was when i found out that a few different actors (including a woman) would be playing bob dylan in the biopic i'm not there. and after seeing the trailer, i'm not sure what to think, but at least i'm confident it won't suck now.

i don't know why i let the cast bother me so much. i mean, cate blanchett? the woman has like a zillion oscar nominations and was truly amazing and believable as kat hepburn. i'm sure she'll convince me she's a man (maybe not as much as hilary swank though). heath ledger and christian bale? done and done. although richard gere. eh. i'll let that one slide.

take a look at the trailer and judge for yourself.

movie p-review: nicolas cage's next mediocre movie sure to be a box office hit

while on IMDB today, i noticed the "top 5 movie trailers" in the corner of the screen, and number one was national treasure: book of secrets. yes, that is a sequel to the 2004 movie starring nicholas cage.
upon further investigation, it seems nicolas cage (or his agent) has figured out the secret formula to success. it's like he does a few movies that are just as shitty as the next and they do so-so at the box office. then all of a sudden, one of those shitty movies (i.e. ghost rider) strikes box office gold!


so while i won't go see this in the movie theater, i might secretly add it to my blockbuster queue. if you must see the trailer, head over to yahoo! movies.

p.s. how they got helen mirren to do this movie is beyond me.

birds do it. bees do it too.

it's finally here! the new judd apatow movie knocked up comes out today. and unless you've been living under a rock away from all things pop culture, you would know that already. i already bought my tix on fandango (confirmation number 219091125... thank you very much). and after seeing a fun segment about judd apatow and his cool geekdom on nightline, it just made me that much more exicted to see this movie. not to mention a bit reminiscent of how cool freaks and geeks was.

some of my friends have gone to see the movie, and i've heard it's pretty awesome and hilarious as expected. and after seeing this international trailer (which is way cooler cause it's just pretty much one scene, curse words included). check it out for yourself and buy that movie ticket!

farrelly brothers and stiller reunite for heartbreak

well, after a string of directing and producing bad movies, looks like the farrelly brothers might have a good movie coming out this year (i mean, remember stuck on you? and the ringer?) the trailer for their new movie the heartbreak kid is out on yahoo! movies. the movie stars ben stiller (nine years after there's something about mary) as a man who's afraid to committ, but finally marries who he thinks is the woman of his dreams. but when his new bride starts acting crazy, he meets another woman on his honeymoon. my description sounds a little too romantic comedy, but it looks pretty hilarious. oh, and did i mention rob corddry is in it? and jerry stiller? yeah, starting to sound better already. CLICK HERE to see the trailer. the movie comes out 10/5/07.

michael moore's sicko

michael moore makes another wacky documentary that's sure to create a domino effect of controversy (and if you read teh news, you know it already has). the idea of health care in america depresses me. especially when the trailer reveals that although we're the richest nation in the world, we're number 37 in the world as far as health care. sheesh.

movie p-review: blonde ambition

the trailer for jessica simpson's new movie was released this week. and before i even get to that, i will say that i still haven't seen jessica's other movies (dukes of hazzard, employee of the month). upon seeing the trailer for this movie, it looks like i'll be 0 for 3.

blonde ambition stars jessica as a small town girl whose boyfriend moves to nyc. willie nelson (i have no idea who he plays) gives her a bus ticket to go visit her boyfriend, only to find him in bed with someone else. somehow luke wilson, rachel leigh cook, and andy dick are integral to the plot.

so take a looksie. i would tell jessica not to quit her day job, but singing doesn't seem to be making money for her these days. so i guess i don't mind the movies. i just won't go see them. and as for luke wilson, that guy needs a new agent.
