‘Jeff Who Lives At Home’: ‘Step Brothers’ for Hipsters?

Posted by @coltondaniel on January 21st, 2012


Our beloved television comedy stars Jason Segel (How I Met Your Mother) and Ed Helms (The Office) share the big screen for the upcoming indie film, Jeff, Who Lives At Home.

Directed by Jay and Mark Duplass who have received a lot of hype from their last film Cyrus with John C. Reilly, Jonah Hill and Marissa Tomei – but this could likely seal their mainstream success. It continues Duplass’ theme of family dysfunction with Segel as a naive mopey slacker named Jeff living in his mother’s basement searching for the meaning of life. He reconnects with his brother Pat (Helms) who soon discovers that his wife is having an affair – meanwhile, their mother (Susan Sarandon) is depressed. Holy dramedy, Batman!

It looks to be in the same vain as Helms’ Cedar Rapids or Segel’s Forgetting Sarah Marshall rather than their other efforts – it premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival to great reviews and is due in theatres nationwide on March 16th.

Jonah Hill Fighting Glee’s Matthew Morrison?

Posted by andPOP Staff on September 27th, 2011

Jonah Hill told Jimmy Fallon that he and Glee’s Matthew Morrison were at a FOX meeting promoting their shows, and Morrison was picking on Jonah.

“I’ve got it in my head that I don’t like this guy. I am sure he is a good human being, but you don’t throw a dude under the bus,” Hill said. “He’s a big timer at Fox and I’m the new kid.”

Morrison responded last night through a video on Jimmy Fallon. ”Oh hey, Jimmy, what’s up?” Morrison says to the camera after telling the joke. “I heard that Jonah said I should bring my sh– next time. Well, guess what? This is next time. You think I can’t sing my way out of this?”

Morrison begins dancing around the “Glee” set, with this message for Hill: “I can sing my way out of it and I can dance my way out of it. Pick a date and I will meet you on ‘Late Night’ and we will settle this like men.”

Movie Review: Moneyball

Posted by Lauren Treihaft on September 23rd, 2011

 

 

Moneyball hits a home run with the sentimental crowd, but if  you’re looking for this years Social Network, you may be disappointed.

The film is based on the true story of Billy Beane (Brad Pitt), the former general manager of the Oakland Athletic’s and his mathematical stratagem-sabermetrics- to choose strong players for his team while also being cost effective.

Beane is working with the lowest amount of funds to build a baseball team. Compared to the New York Yankees Beane is rather penniless. After a good season for the Athletics, but not a winning season, Beane is forced to rebuild his team, but this time he is using the mathematical prowess of Peter Brand (Jonah Hill) to help him.

The film’s crotchety circle of scouts for the Athletics proves to be funny at times and perhaps overly reluctant. Pitt works well as the semi-confident hair flipping manager. However, the film is far too centered on the emotions of Bean and the constant flashbacks of his failed pro baseball career. The flashbacks become superfluous and the film could have been at least a half hour shorter if just the flashbacks were cut.

Some will say that this is Hill’s film, that he delivered a strong acting performance and is very believable st the Yale economics nerd. On the other hand, Pitt’s screen time outshines Hill’s by ten, and while it is known that Brand is working with mathematical equations,  the system becomes arbitrary when emotions rise. The system to choose players just doesn’t have the appeal that Facebook does.

Bean also has a young daughter and an estranged wife who we meet for a second in an awkward series of events. His daughter is very loving of him. It seems that his paternal nature on the field had to be supplemented by the kind father off the field to enable a full understanding of the honesty and dedication of his character. Again, the film is just too tender and the final scene is gaggable.

I almost forgot to mention that Phillip Seymour Hoffman is in the film probably because his performance is entirely forgettable. Hoffman stars as the coach of the Athletic’s, an overweight submissive underdog. The usual fortitude of Hoffman’s performance is seriously undermined and his character is difficult to even sympathize with.

Hill is worth a viewing, but the film is only decent at best. Unfortunately it is quite a bore for the crowd that doesn’t love sports or Brad Pitt.

Trailer: Jonah Hill is the Worst Babysitter Ever

Posted by andPOP Staff on August 4th, 2011

Jonah Hill might be the worst babysitter in history. Jonah plays a grownup babysitter in “The Sitter” coming out this December.

As you can clearly see in the trailer, this is not a kids movie. He also introduces the trailer by speaking to a group of kids where he explains that he has the right to make a lot of money as a movie star.

Anyways, this one looks like a good one for the Christmas season.

Conan O’Brien’s new show, ‘Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television’ comedy tour, had some surprise guests during the LA stop.

Jim Carrey joined the red-headed funnyman on stage to sing ‘Superman (It Ain’t Easy)’ by Five for Fighting.

E! Online reports that other guests also made a stop to see Conan. Aziz Ansari, Jonah Hill, Jon Hamm and Jack McBrayer hit the stage later in the night to announce the name change of the “Walker, Texas Ranger Lever” (a bit now owned by NBC) to the “Chuck Norris Policeman Handle”.

‘How To Train Your Dragon’ Proves 3D Wins At The Box Office

Posted by andPOP Staff on March 28th, 2010

“How to Train Your Dragon” took the box office win with ease, taking in $43.3 Million ($11.5 Million from IMAX)

The performance by the film is not surprising. With amazing 3D animation, a solid plot, and all star cast of voices, “Dragon” was destined to beat the box office. The movie would have even done better at IMAX theatres if it weren’t for a continual strong showing by “Alice in Wonderland.”

Our own Jordan Bortolotti saw the film prior to the release and was brought to tears (and he doesn’t cry easily).

Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards 2010 – Slime Balls

Posted by andPOP Staff on March 28th, 2010

Yes it was a slimefest last night at Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards, but in a kid friendly way. Plenty of stars were there for the show, including host Kevin James, Tina Fey, Steve Carell, and even Jonah Hill.

The show started with Rihanna arriving in a pink camouflage tank. The diva performed ‘Hard’, ‘Rude Boy’, and ‘Don’t Stop the Music,’ dancing with transformer type robots.

Kevin James hosting was admirable but nothing too spectacular. He tried his best to relate to his youthful crowd.

‘Sarah Marshall’ Sequel Planned, Starring Russell Brand

Posted by andPOP Staff on July 29th, 2008

Forget Sarah Marshall – it’s all about Russell Brand.

A sequel to Jason Segal’s hit comedy is in the works, which would centre around Brand’s obnoxious rock star character, Aldous Snow.

UK website Chortle reports that Segal and Sarah Marshall herself, Kristen Bell, have been approached but nothing has been confirmed. Jonah Hill, however, would be back, “a wet-behind-the-ears insurance adjuster instructed to ensure Brand’s wildman gets to a gig.”
