Trailer: This is 40
I gotta say, this trailer for Judd Apatow's new movie left me pretty cold. Part of that, I have to imagine, is the notion that the material on display here, a couple completely at the end of anything that could be called "youth" dealing with their family problems and the changing dynamic of their relationship as they grow older. I understand that this material may resonate better with people closer to that age with kids, so I accept that's just something that won't affect me the same way. At the same time, f**king hell, I'm so tired of Judd Apatow's family. It was cute when you cast your kids in Knocked Up, obnoxious when you cast them in Funny People, and it hasn't gotten any better now. I know it's supposed to be the same family from Knocked Up, but at this point, there's a fine line between nepotism and "LOOK HOW WONDERFUL AND PRECOCIOUS MY CHILDREN ARE AMERICA F**KING LOOK AT THEM." At least there's half a chance we'll get to see Paul Rudd's choccy starfish. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.

10:00 AM on 05.17.2013 Teaser Trailer: Last VegasI'll admit that I'm a sucker for "old men doing young things" movies desspite how bad most of them are. I sat through The Bucket List, Space Cowboys (but it was kind of good), Stand Up Guys, and I'm most likely going to see ...
2:00 PM on 05.16.2013 Review: Frances HaWoody Allen's Manhattan opens with that stunning overture of "Rhapsody in Blue" by George Gershwin. It's like a love letter to the city, the great colossus, a romanticized land of bustle and possibility. The film is a portrai...

3:00 PM on 05.10.2013 This Is Spinal Tap soundtrack getting reissued on vinylThis Is Spinal is one of the best movies of the 1980s and one my my favorite movies of all time. It's still the grandaddy of the mockumentary genre, and I don't think it'll be topped in terms of execution or sheer quality. Th...
2:00 PM on 05.10.2013 Review: How Sweet It IsOne of my favorite comedies is Waiting for Guffman, the first of those Christopher Guest-directed ensemble mockumentaries. It plays well with the goofiness of amateur theater and really embraces the hokey vibe of stage musica...
