How much you enjoy Pineapple Express may depend more on how charmed you are by the chemistry between James Franco and Seth Rogen and less on how funny you find pot jokes. Don't get me wrong, marijuana jokes abound in this comedy written by Rogen and his frequent collaborator Evan Goldberg, and they are funny. But I was surprised by how much more Pineapple Express falls into the category of buddy Read more
Last night's Lakers vs. Celtics game was a star-studded one. David Beckham reported to the Staples Center to see the home team defeat the visiting Bostonians 94-97. New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady may not have been as pleased with the results, nor was Boston native Jessica Biel likely happy to see the guys in green lose. Jessica did have a reason to smile, though, since she sported her Read more

Your Highness may have a marijuana reference right there in the title, but it's not exactly Cheech and Chong in tights. It is, however, an amusing spoof from director David Gordon Green, who reproduces the comedic tone of his last movie, Pineapple Express. He also reunites with a couple of its cast members; James Franco stars as Fabious, a virtuous prince in line for the throne, and Danny McBride Read more
Your Highness This medieval times-set comedy lets Danny McBride and James Franco don armor and speak in silly accents as they embark on a quest to rescue the bride of Franco's character, who's been kidnapped by evil wizard played Justin Theroux.
