Adam Sandler has his new movie “Jack and Jill” in theaters this weekend, and man, have the nation’s mainstream media film critics got their knives out for him on this one. With a stunning 0 percent so far on Rotten

Sorry this is so late. Been traveling since 7am — which means I’m tired, grumpy, and probably constipated. Brian Grazer to Produce, Billy Crystal to Host Academy Awards Oh, how I love me some Eddie Murphy for sticking it to

Be sure to head go listen to this week’s HomeVideodrome podcast! This week Jim and I discuss Morgan Spurlock’s desperate need for attention, movies about eating, the turd that is Green Lantern, and how rad Jet Li movies are. So

ROD STEWART PLAYS LAS VEGAS Hard to believe Rod Stewart could turn 66 but he has and is now packing Caesar’s Palace in Sin City. May he live forever. About ten years ago I saw Stewart perform live. He wasn’t

Today, you can’t swing a dead cat at the movie theater without hitting another big budget adaptation of a comic book property. I remember when I was a kid, I’d lurk around the local comic book shop and devouring any

Okay okay, Big Hollywood — and people all over the world — love Pixar. I get it, I get it. But why is Hollywood missing it?! It is obvious the studio honchos can’t quite fancy what gives Pixar the upper

So an Adam Sandler family comedy is released … during summer … with co-stars Kevin James, Rob Schneider, David Spade, and Chris Rock … and the L.A. Times is sincerely confused over why it’s such a huge hit. Here’s their

***UPDATE: Armond White, whose need to be a contrarian bores me to death, loved Grown Ups and compared the film’s director Dennis Dugan to Renoir. His praise is a little hyperbolic — desperate for attention — but he at least

Some movies strain for their laughs, while others just have to turn the camera on their stars and the guffaws will flow. “Grown Ups” is one of the latter, a laid-back yet hilarious film that doesn’t have much of a

After Ben Shapiro first submitted the article that created such a hailstorm yesterday, here’s what our email exchange looked like: Ben, Hey, you’re right, Scorsese hasn’t made a movie worth a shit since ’96, but…. David Lean??? Hitchcock??? We must

That’s right, a 1979 television movie starring The Fonz as Ebenezer Scrooge is ranked ahead of White Christmas. (Or, if you’re younger than a hundred, the Coach in “The Waterboy.”) I have nothing to say in my defense and await

Reuters: “Hollywood studios are now thinking twice about splurging on A-list movie stars and costly productions in reaction to the poor economy, but also because of the surprising success of recent films with unknown actors. … “Last weekend, comic actor

Quick! Think fast – who’s making the most morally conservative films in Hollywood? The answer may surprise you, but it’s none other than Judd Apatow. Yes, the writer-director of “The 40 Year Old Virgin,” “Knocked Up” and the new film

The Democrats, after getting their butts kicked all through July, are trying to change the momentum by raising the bloody flag of class warfare. Last Friday the House of Representatives voted 237-185 along party lines to enable financial regulators to

As one of America’s most popular comedians, George Simmons seemingly has the world on a string. But then one thing happens that can ruin everything: he’s diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia and told that even with aggressive experimental

Never in a million years did I think Judd Apatow was capable of making something as sharp and penetrating as “Funny People.” Never. Since the director first started dabbling in film, I’ve been a harsh critic of everything he’s touched,

You could feel it in the air as Apatow basked in the glow of his 2006 double whammy, the hilarious “Knocked Up” and “Superbad.” By the time 2007’s “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” rolled around, the backlash was gathering steam. I told

With “Wolverine” opening this Friday, summer finally, finally arrives. We’ve celebrated the good. We’ve dreaded the bad. Now on to the maybes; those that could fall either way, or just do the minimum by delivering a couple hours of forgettable

Comedians have lost a target, and the rest of the entertainment industry has lost a jewel. Bea Arthur is no longer with us. She died peaceably at her home in Los Angeles at the age of 86. As a humanitarian,

Seth Rogen’s appeal baffles me, at least as a leading man in romantic comedies, albeit raunchy ones. There’s nothing warm about the guy and no matter how sincere he tries to be an undercurrent of sullen hostility never leaves his
