MTV: Box Office Report

Two years ago, "The Hangover" writer/director Todd Phillips told me this: "I love 'The Hangover' so much and I think we could crush it with the sequel." In terms of ticket sales, at least, he was right. CLICK HERE to read the rest of my report.

Movie Review: "The Trip"

'The Trip' unravels, examines and amplifies the bonds, potshots, stunted intimacy and brilliant humor close male friends share well beyond the boundaries of the surface-level absurdities of 'The Hangover II.' CLICK HERE to read my review.

MTV: Box Office Report

Pirate Jack Sparrow's latest box-office booty was something of a mixed bag.

Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides," featuring Johnny Depp's return to the unconventional sea captain role that added blockbuster power to his already formidable artistic credibility, broke international box-office records and enjoyed the highest opening of the year in America over the weekend, though it fell short of the franchise's previous two sequels both critically and commercially.CLICK HERE to read the rest of my report..

Hesher!

This past weekend, I moderated two Q&As with "Hesher" writer / director Spencer Susser and star Devin Brochu at the AMC Broadway in Santa Monica and at my favorite place on Earth, ArcLight Hollywood, directly following screenings of the film. I'd like to thank Spencer, Devin and everyone who came out to these two events! Go see "Hesher!" The movie stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the title character, alongside Brochu, Rainn Wilson ("The Office"), Natalie Portman and the great Piper Laurie ("Carrie").

"Hesher" Interviews

I can't recommend this movie enough. I've been describing it as a mix of "Bad Santa," "Fight Club," "Beavis & Butthead" and some sort of dark indie family drama... Starring CLIFF BURTON (RIP) of Metallica. Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays "Hesher," a near-mystical like character who invades the lives of a grieving family, which includes Rainn Wilson. Check out my interviews with Gordon-Levitt, Wilson and writer / director Spencer Susser BY CLICKING HERE. Metallica, of course, is among the many things we discussed.

Will Ferrell Interview

The first time I met Will Ferrell was on the set of "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy" where I had the pleasure of watching him perform the same scene about forty different ways. I kept wondering, "How will this cut together as a real movie?!" More recently, I had a chance to speak with him about "Everything Must Go," a dramatic movie based on a (very) short story. We also spoke about his upcoming SPANISH LANGUAGE FILM. You can watch it all HERE.

"The Beaver" Interviews

I spoke with Jodie Foster (who directed and co-starred) and Anton Yelchin about "The Beaver." Yelchin and I talked about "Mad Max," among other things.

You can watch those interviews HERE.
