The Great Buck Howard: A Funny Tale of Fading Greatness
The Great Buck Howard is a cute little movie that managed to further endear Colin Hanks, John Malkovich and Emily Blunt to me. It's probably not going to change lives, but it more than suffices as a good distraction. Plus, it's a new and interesting portrayal of that 20-something distress of not knowing the answer to questions like "What do I do with my life?
Movie Preview: The Great Buck Howard
Filed under "Movies I Missed at Sundance, Sadly" is The Great Buck Howard, a quirky comedy with a stellar cast that includes John Malkovich, Emily Blunt, Tom Hanks and Colin Hanks. The story follows law school dropout Troy (Colin Hanks), who answers a job listing to be a personal assistant and "unknowingly signs on to work for a belligerent has-been magician [the "Great Buck Howard," played by John Malkovich] struggling to resurrect his career. This leads to a journey across the country staging the comeback of a lifetime."
Movie Preview: The House Bunny With Anna Faris
It's like Legally Blonde meets The Hottie and the Nottie, with a dash of The Girls Next Door tossed in. The House Bunny follows Anna Faris as Shelley, a Playboy bunny who finds herself "too old" to be a bunny anymore. Thrown out of Hef's mansion, she wanders onto a college campus where she discovers a sorority of "nerdy girls" and she becomes their housemother.
Behind the Scenes at Sundance: The Photobooth
This year, I'm once again awestruck by the gorgeous photobooth photos coming out of the Sundance Film Festival. The stars I've been spotting always seem to end up here eventually, posing for a series of portraits with their castmates.
So far, I have to give Emily Blunt and Colin Hanks, who star together in The Great Buck Howard, the award for cuteness this year; their "I've got a secret!"-style photos are just so heartwarming.
Movie Preview: Untraceable
Whether or not this is great in execution, the story idea for Untraceable is pretty darn scary. The movie follows a serial killer who posts video of his victims as he tortures them to death on his website KillWithMe.com. The more people that view the site, the faster the person dies.
Colin Hanks Joins Anna Faris in Playboy Comedy
It looks like the writers of Legally Blonde are returning to the subject matter they know quite a lot about: sorority life. But this time the untitled project written by Blonde writers Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith will focus on both Playboy bunnies and sorority sisters. Anna Faris was quickly cast as the central character, and now there are several more joining her, including Colin Hanks to play Faris' love interest.
The Results Are In: Recast "Growing Pains"
"Growing Pains" started airing on Nick at Nite this weekend, so for last week's Recast challenge, I asked you guys to pick new actors for the roles Dr. and Mrs. Seaver, Mike and Carol, and, of course, Mike's sidekick, Boner. Many of you took it upon yourselves to cast the roles of siblings Ben and Chrissy Seaver, too, and I really admire that extra bit of effort!
