Honda Superbowl Ad: Ferris Bueller is BACK!

Broderick… Broderick…

It has arrived! The highly anticipated re-carnation of the legendary Ferris Bueller.

The Super Bowl ad spins the Ferris wheel of a ‘day-off’ full of shenanigans, with a helping of nods toward the classic John Hughes film. From the vanity license-plates (“SOCHIC” instead of “NRVOUS”) museums (National History of L.A. instead of Chicago Art) and parades – instead of ‘Twist & Shout’ and ‘Danke Schoen’ we get a Mandarin tune with a traditional choir. And it ends beautifully with a triumphant return to ‘Chez Quis’ while the valet goes ‘Star Wars’ on the burgandy Honda CR-V instead of the 1961 Ferrari…

For uber-Bueller geeks: the name of Broderick’s agent is a nod to the name listed under Abe Froman (the sausage king of Chicago) on the reservation list in the original film.

Based on this 10 second sneek peak, Matthew Broderick is reprising his infamous role as Ferris Bueller for an ad to premiere at the Superbowl.

Broderick, who’s now 44, will be endorsing some kind of product during the half-time show airing Sunday, February 5. Is it a commercial for Viagra? Is he trying to promote his own line of denture cream? Who knows. We’re looking forward to the whole commercial next month.

Michael J. Fox Rocks Out to “Johnny B. Goode” at Charity Event

Michael J. Fox takes us Back to the Future! During his “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Cure Parkinson’s” gala, the actor whipped out his guitar, got on stage, and rocked out to Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode” a-la Marty McFly – and may we say, he sounded pretty good!

Here’s Michael J. Fox playing “Johnny B. Goode” now…

Here he is in his playing the song in the classic 1985 Back to the Future.

The dude’s still got it!

But Michael’s performance got us thinking – which classic movie performances would you love to see re-enacted live? So we came up with a few that we know we would just die to witness!

First up – Matthew Broderick singing “Twist and Shout,” as he did in Ferris Beuller’s Day Off. Need we say more? I still sing along every time.

Even though he’s lip synching and the only music he is playing is air guitar, this classic scene of Tom Cruise rocking out to Bob Seger’s “Old Time Rock ‘N Roll” in Risky Business will never get old.

One performance we would have loved to see, though, is a re-enactment of Heath Ledger’s display of affection in 10 Things I Hate About You, singing Frankie Valley and the Four Seasons’ “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” in an attempt to win over Kat Stratford’s heart so he can make some cash. Despite the sub-par vocals, it makes my heart melt every time.

Sex and the City Star Sarah Jessica Parker and husband Matthew Broderick will not be present for the trial of Martins Ferry Police Chief Barry Carpenter, reports E! News. Carpenter is facing multiple felonies including burglary and receiving stolen property for allegedly orchestrating a break-in at the Ohio home of the woman carrying Parker and Broderick’s twins.

Jury selection began Monday. Reportedly, only one of the 70 potential jurors in attendance claimed not to be aware of the case.

Bridgeport Sheriff Chad Dojack will stand trial Jan. 12 on similar charges in connection with the incident, while Bruce Callarik will be booked on a lesser charge of receiving stolen property.

All three men have pleaded not guilty and could face jail time if convicted.

A publicist for Parker and Broderick issued a statement saying, “Matthew and Sarah Jessica have complete faith in the legal system.”

During his vacation in Ireland, actor Matthew Broderick fell off a horse and broke his collarbone.

“He’s feeling fine. He’s just in a little bit of pain,” said Broderick’s publicist Simon Halls, reports E!Online.

Broderick, 44, accompanied by his wife Sarah Jessica Parker, went to County Sligo General Hospital to be treated for his injury. The injury wasn’t too serious and he was able to go home the same day.

Broderick and Parker went back to the Emerald Isle, where Broderick got some rest. The rest was needed after wrapping up the seven-month Broadway play “The Producers.” Broderick has also appeared in successful movies such as “Election” and “The Stepford Wives.”

Broderick has a new comedy movie coming out called “Deck the Halls,” scheduled to be released November 22.
