Watch the first trailer for Joseph Gordon-Levitt's...
There are many things I am unashamed to admit: my love for dinosaurs, my obsession with all things Harry Potter, my love of obscene words, to name a few. My love for Joseph Gordon-Levitt is also on that list. And as much as I truly adore him, I am having some serious mixed feelings about his new film, Don Jon.
This is the first film written and directed by the charming JGL, and up to this...

The video for SHE & HIM's "I Could've Been Your...
I mean, really. If it was any cuter it’d be a yawming puppy named Whimsy that’s wearing a teeny-tiny puppy cast on his teeny-tiny broken leg as Zooey Deschanel holds it and sings a song with Joseph Gordon-Levitt about unconditional love.
Nevertheless, I love it! And I really enjoy this song. Volume 3 is out now.

Ben Affleck manages to make it through a hilarious...
Before last night, I was trying to remember the last time Ben Affleck hosted SNL. And while specifics wouldn’t come to mind, the only thing that did stick out was his inability read cue cards smoothly. I vaguely remembered that he was just plain awful at reading them. Flash forward to his 5th time hosting (I know, I can’t believe it either), and the story is no different. While he...

It’s no “Motherlover,” that’s for sure. The trio released this new track as part of their “Wack Wednesdays” series, gearing up for the album release this summer by releasing a new song/video every Wednesday until the album drops. Check out the previous video (which is much better than the one above), “Spring Break Anthem” featuring James Franco and...

Worst news of the day: Bill Hader leaving SNL
Try to at least muffle the sounds of your weeping by crying into your faux-tattoo sleeve t-shirt.
Bill Hader has officially announced his departure from Saturday Night Live, with this weekend’s finale serving as his last episode.
What’s that you say? I can’t hear you over my sobbing.
Not that I am not surprised—I feel like Hader’s exit was inevtiable given...

No.
Like, no. I just think this is going to be a huge flop. I will gladly eat crow if that is not the case, but these types of things so rarely translate to successful serialized versions, and I fear this won’t be any difference. And I can’t imagine that even ABC has the budget to make this show anything but hokey as far as intense battles and never-ending bizarro superheroes are...

The only question remains: which of them will win an Oscar?
All kidding aside, this film looks pretty good. And by pretty good, I mean it could go one of two ways: It could go the route of exceptional storytelling, electrifying performances, and direction to die for, all culminating in an award-worthy ensemble. OR it could be one of those films that tries too hard to be emotionally erratic and...

First things first. I CANNOT put into words how much I have been anticipating this new MJF show. Of course, like any red blooded American, I love Michael J Fox immensely. And if there’s one thing I love more than Marty McFly himself, it’s quick-witted, self-aware snark. And this show has both things going for it, so sign me the fuck up. The Michael J. Fox Show airs Thursdays this...

Seth Meyers to succeed Fallon as LATE NIGHT host...
While I think this is a solid choice and an incredible opportunity for Meyers, I can’t help but lament that no woman was really considered for this hosting gig. I would have loved to see the landscape of late night tv change just a bit. Alas, that is not the case this time around. Nevertheless, hooray for Seth!! I’m sure this means his inevitable departure from SNL, so now the...

Familiar faces abound for Kristen Wiig's...
The anticipation has been high—nay, practically fever pitch—for the return of SNL darling and character MVP Kristen Wiig to the famous SNL stage.
Very reminiscent of Tina Fey’s memorable return to host, Wiig’s return was high energy, high hijinks, and a whole lotta fun. It’s always a guessing game when old SNL players return to host—will they reprise their...

Somehow COMMUNITY gets renewed, even though they...
Surprise! NBC has pulled a 180 and decided to actually renew Community for a 15-episode 5th season.
At this point, do you even care? After everything NBC has put this show through, and after everything that has happened internally at the show (Dan Harmon’s exit, the Chevy Chase feud, multiple writers leaving), the show is less than great. It’s practically a skeleton of what a show...

ABC cancels HAPPY ENDINGS because they really do...
In case you were wondering about ABC’s feeling for us, let me be the one to break the news: it’s over. They have called it for Happy Endings, time of death: Friday, May 10.
The network idiotically and finally gave in to their worst indulgence and cancelled one of the only solid comedies it has currently on air and THE flat-out funniest comedy on TV. Happy Endings is off to live out the rest of...

The 2013 ACL lineup is out!
Everyone is bitching and moaning because they feel like the ACL Lineup this year is just a rehash of a bunch of headliners that have already played ACL multiple times, but guess what? If it ain’t broke, don’t fucking fix it.
I think the lineup is pretty fucking stellar. KIngs of Leon back from the dead? Muse to melt faces again?? New music from Phoenix and Vampire Weekend??...

Full trailer for TRUE BLOOD season 6
Are you still interested? After the clusterfuck that was the last season, are you still invested in the residents of Bon Temps? I want to be, and I have no doubt I will be watching this season, but I can’t help but feel underwhelmed by this trailer. I wonder—can it get even more convoluted? Can the characters devolve even more into caricatures of their once brilliantly crafted...

Steve Carrell to cameo in THE OFFICE series finale
Even though reps for NBC have been hellbent on denying Steve Carrell’s involvement with The Office series finale this May, TVLine is reporting that he will, in fact, make one last appearance at Dunder Mifflin.
They’re reporting that it will be “a cameo [more] than a full-fledged guest appearance” for the show’s swan song, set to air May 16.
As much as I think Michael...

Girl Most Likely is a film that funny gal Kristen Wiig has been trying to get off the ground for a long time, and it looks like it’s finally getting the due attention it deserves.
Even in this trailer, Wiig excels. It’s no secret Wiig is a pro at both sides of the acting spectrum—her comedy is without a doubt some of the best in the biz, while her turns with the more dramatic...

Hillary Clinton biopic coming
Coming fast and furious from the producers who brought you The Twilight Saga (try not to hold that against them), is a biopic centered around the early political career of Hillary Clinton. Entitled Rodham, the film is said to focus on her work as the youngest attorney assigned to the House Judiciary Committee during the Nixon debacle. My guess is they’ll try to get this off the ground...

James McAvoy goes mad in excellent FILTH trailer
NSFW!!!
As if I couldn’t love James McAvoy more. The uber-talented Scottish actor wickedly shines in the new trailer for Filth. He plays wildly against type as a drug/sex/booze addicted cop, and lord have mercy does it look fun! Even in this short but magnificent trailer, I am beyond intrigued. I so hope this gets a wide release here in the states.

Dear dear dear. This is exactly why I try not to get my expectations up.
I love Melissa McCarthy. I really do. She’s a great actress with impeccable comedic timing, and she’s never afraid to fall face first into some zany physical comedy either. So needless to say, I was stoked for her second appearance. But as I have lamented so many times in my SNL reviews, a wonderfully...

Legendary film critic Roger Ebert dies at 70
Tis a sad day in the film world. Legendary film critic and expert Heads Up 7 Up player Roger Ebert passed away today at the age of 70. After a long battle (and losing nearly half of his face and his ability to speak) with cancer, he just announced this morning that his cancer had returned, causing him to take a step back from work. Only hours later it was reported that he had passed. Roger,...
