‘It’s Kind of a Funny Story’ – Galifianakis Hilarious!

I love Zach Galifianakis. I love him and could not miss another opportunity to see him on the big screen and I’m glad I didn’t. ‘It’s Kind of a Funny Story’ is not a perfect film, far from it. I have a difficult time laughing at the mentally ill and suicide attempts. I find it pathetic that this dark comedy didn’t even attempt to show any actuality of what occurs in a mental ward, but instead poke fun at the cliché patients. The saving grace of this film is the actors who do such an incredible job forcing the audience to love them and cheer for them. Keir Gilchrist (Craig) portrays a depressed New York City teenager who admits himself to a psychiatric ward after considering suicide. Inside he meets Galifianakis (Bobby) who acts as a mentor within the ward. A love story ensues including tween actress Emma Roberts (Noelle) and the audience is taken on a humorous and tame rollercoaster ride. A must see movie for no other reason then seeing Galifianakis be a little more upbeat then his usual characters.

‘Jackass 3D’ is No Better then Jackass 2D

The men who brought us self-mutilation and friendly humiliation are back again and this time they’re sober. Unfortunately sobriety hasn’t made them any funnier or less degrading to watch. The old gangs back together; Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, and Steve-O are back with a vengeance. All that seems to change is the amount of gray hairs on their aging heads. The boys are still playing pranks that would make inmates blush and injuring themselves for the sake of their 20-something audiences. Its been 10 years since new Jackass episodes aired on MTV but, apparently, there is still a high demand for watching grown men act like poorly behaved children. In the end ‘Jackass 3D’ is exactly what I expected and if I enjoyed watching men get hit in the head in slow motion I would have loved the move…but, I don’t.

‘Life as We Know It’ Isn’t Worth It

Director Greg Berlanti has made a career out of tv melodrama’s including ‘Brother’s and Sisters’, ‘Dawson’s Creek’, and ‘Everwood’. This fall his foray onto the big screen is a little more comedy and a little less drama. ‘Life as We Know It’, staring Josh Duhamel (Eric) and Katherine Heigl (Holly) tells the story of two adults with mutual friends who die in a car crash and name ladies man Eric and obsessive compulsive Holly as guardians of their baby. ‘Life as We Know It’ utilizes all of the traditional ‘baby humor’ we’ve scene before; poop jokes, inappropriate urinating, awkward actions in front of the child, etc. The basic plot has promise, one can imagine all the awful things that could go wrong in this situation. However, first time screenplay writers Ian Deitchman and Kristin Rusk Robinson have a lot to learn about what makes a good movie. I’m going to look at ‘Life as We Know It’ as a learning experience for both writers, a mistake we will sweep under the rug for Berlanti, and merely a paycheck for Duhamel and Heigl.

LA LA BROOKS ROCKS LEGENDARY BB KINGS IN NEW YORK CITY

History was made Wednesday night when La La Brooks, the legendary lead singer of Phil Spector’s very first girl group, the Crystals took the stage at BB Kings Blues Club in New York City’s Time’s Square. Joining her on stage for the huge hit “Da Do Ron Ron” was Nicole Spector, Phil Spector’s 27 year old daughter. Also seen in the crowd, internationally known artist Mark Kostabi who said of the show “Lala's performance was first rate and the music was hauntingly beautiful last night at B.B. Kings. She had 10 back-up musicians. It was transporting and something about the red curtains, the epic sound and the 3 swaying back-up singers made me think of a David Lynch movie or other recent film directors that use that 50s/60s wall of sound.”

‘Case 39’ Has a Bad Case of Bad-Movie-ism

I can only assume that the estimated $27 million budget for ‘Case 39’ was spent paying Renee Zellweger and Bradley Cooper’s salaries. ‘Case 39’ has nothing a horror audience hasn’t seen before in all the popular children filled paranormal films coming out recently. ‘Case 39’ isn’t spooky or scary at all. The only thing it has going for it is that it keeps a dark mood throughout and two ‘name’ stars to help sell box office. Its second half of the films predictability ruins the initial quarter of the movie when I thought ‘Case 39’ had a chance.

Paranormal Activity 2- Twice as Spooky?

The first installment of ‘Paranormal Activity’ drew you in but selling you that it was real. Just like the Blair Witch film before it, ‘Paranormal Activity’ needed an audience to believe that this was a true story that could happen to you. And it worked. The POV filming was gritty and the editing led toward this being a home movie. But now that we all know the movie was just that, a movie with actors, and a director, and a script, what’s the point of a sequel. The fear that this was real is gone. Now its just a B-horror film like the thousands of others released annually. That does not, however, mean that the film is bad. ‘Paranormal Activity 2’ kept my interest and continued the story we were told of the young couple living in a possessed home. The cast is kept small and intimate and it doesn’t appear they had a larger budget on this one. All in all, wait for the dvd and buy both as a combo at your local Best Buy when they’re on sale.

Not "You Again"

A chick flick in the same vain as "Freaky Friday", full of odd female mis-haps, slapstick humor, and girly scheming, "You Again" takes an A-list cast of Kirsten Bell, Sigourney Weaver, and Jamie Lee Curtis and puts them in unfortunate situations. "You Again" follows the story of Marni, played by Bell, who finds her brother is marrying her high school nemesis. More quasi-comical-conicidences occur when the mother of the groom finds that the mother of the bride was her high school nemesis....very unlikely. The plot is predictable and the characters are unbelievable. There were a few moments where I did laugh out loud at the complete absurdity, but those moments were few and far between. The bottom line is I'd absolutely reccommend this movie for a young mother-daughter date, it is, after all, rated PG and very young adult friendly.

JANNA MATTIOLI'S NEW FILM "BIDENTITY CRISIS"

Filmmaker Jana Mattioli Currently on movie set in New York City and filming this winters new upcoming Comedy film “BIdentity Crisis” Taking some time to sit with us and letting us snap a quick picture. We caught up with Mattioli
who on the set that revolves around a NYC Café by day & transformed into a movie set by night. With lots of spectators and film crews running around surrounded by many lights and cameras, Mattioli was able to talk with us for a moment as we were eagerly waiting to find out more about “BIdentity Crisis” and what better way than being there right in the middle of the all action. Pleased to say we were able to find out so much more about this new Hilarious Comedic film. There are people in this world who long to be someone great, someone important, someone of great moral value, however, Helen and Phillip are not those people. Helen, originally from Chicago, longs to be the trendy "Sex in the City" girl, where she can have her party and dance at it to. Phillip, a good looking party boy who is in the bizz and is just the right amount of Carrie Bradshaw excitement she needs after a break-up with her loser ex-boyfriend Vinny. After dating for over a month Helen realizes that the trendiest thing about Phillip is hurting the relationship. True, Phillip is a party boy, but he likes to party with the boys.
Phillip is bisexual but wants to be with women. Helen wants to be trendy but is uncomfortable. They put a new stamp on "Be careful what you wish for, ya just might get it." With the help of a flamboyant waiter who recognizes Philip and a sassy cashier who loves to watch the drama unfold, BIdentity is a NY drama with a just the right twist of a gay lemon. "BIdentity" tells a story of coming out of the closet...sort of.
“BIdentity Crisis’ will be out early winter of 2011 & will hit the festival circuit. Produced by Mattioli Productions the funny film stars Elissa Goldstein as Helen, Keith Collins as Jamie & Lisa Kapchinske as Clara.“BIdentity Crisis” is directed by Jana Mattioli & written by
Zach Rothman-Hicks. We look forward to seeing “BIdentity Crisis” this soon. Sounds like one comedy ride not to be missed!

Ben Affleck Impresses with "The Town"

Ben Affleck's "The Town" shows off his immense talent as a triple threat; writer, director, and actor. "The Town" follows a life long thief and criminal in his plotting of his latest heist. Watching this film makes the audience root for the bad guy, which shows the brilliance of Affleck's writing abilities. The cast, including Blake Lively, John Hamm, Jeremy Renner, and Pete Postlewaite, support Affleck's vision beautifully. I had little faith in Lively's performance but was pleasantly impressed with her portayl of Krista. In addition to the great character performances the action sequences kept the audience on the edge of their seats. All around, great film. Highly reccommended.

The Million Dollar Interview

NBC has agreed to pay as much as $1 million for Paris Hilton's first after-jail interview, which will appear on the "Today" show, The Post has learned.
Sources told The Post the sit-down will be conducted by Meredith Vieira the day after the heir-head is sprung some time next week.
The deal has infuriated ABC executives, the sources said, because they were banking on Hilton's first remarks as a free woman going to Barbara Walters, who has become close with Hilton's mom, Kathy.
ABC was the front-runner until NBC Universal boss Jeff Zucker personally called Hilton's father Rick and made the pitch, the sources said.
Hilton agreed to the interview, but said she'd only speak with Vieira because of "disparaging" remarks her co-host Matt Lauer made about her.
A spokeswoman for NBC did not return a call for comment.

“You Again”…Save yourself

Jamie Lee Curtis, Kristen Bell, Sigourney Weaver and legendary Betty White can’t help out this car wreck of a comedy. Predictable and boring you again won’t get a star for good behavior on this one.
