Extract: A Few Drops of Humor
Director Mike Judge's Office Space didn't do well at the box office, but it enjoyed a popularity and appreciation long after its release that continues to this day, particularly by cube dwellers who find solace in identifying and ridiculing the archetypal office workers. It can be a dark, uncomfortable movie in parts, but there's something almost uplifting about the end of Office Space.
Judge's latest movie Extract has only a few of the elements that make Office Space so great, though, and those elements are dramatically watered down.
Movie Preview: Couples Retreat
This movie stars a whole slew of actors who are no strangers to comedy (Vince Vaughn, Jon Favreau, Jason Bateman, Kristin Davis, Kristen Bell and a bunch more), though the trailer for their upcoming movie Couples Retreat doesn't really elicit the big laughs. It does look pretty cute, though, so maybe it's more of a silly-funny thing than a ha-ha-funny thing.
The story follows four couples — some happy in their relationships and some on the brink of separating — who attend a couples retreat together in a beautiful tropical location.
Very Funny Cast Signs Up For Mottola's Paul
So much about this movie news is exciting. First, we've got a great, funny director in Greg Mottola (Superbad, Adventureland). Secondly, there's a script written by the excellent and hilarious British duo Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Spaced).
State of Play: Surprisingly Gripping Journalism Thriller
In the movies and on TV, investigations always look so exciting and fun — piecing together the facts, swapping clues, untangling the web strand by strand, etc. In a story centered around journalism, this mystery-solving stuff is what makes it fun to watch, especially if there's also a good dose of realism but not so much that it becomes mired in realistic details and we get bored. State of Play very nicely balances these things: It's a sensational murder mystery-thriller but with a scruffy, grumpy journalist lead character and a supporting cast of equally "normal" people.

Bateman and Arnett Throw Down to Promote Sit Down, Shut Up
Jason Bateman and Will Arnett may be sitting down, but they are definitely not shutting up in this new video Fox released to promote the forthcoming Sit Down, Shut Up. The animated series, which premieres in April, reunites Bateman and Arnett with their Arrested Development director Mitch Hurwitz. But if this video's to be believed, they may not be so into the prospect of working together again.
Aniston and Bateman Get Together For The Baster
Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman have signed on for the comedy The Baster, in which Bateman's character dupes Aniston's character into having his child. Hilarious! Here's more:
The Baster centers on a neurotic and insecure man (Bateman) who finds out his best friend (Aniston) wants to have a child through artificial insemination.
Fox Searchlight Reportedly Picks Up Arrested Development Movie!
If all the "sources" are correct, Arrested Development fans have something to celebrate today: The movie is a go!
Yup, I think I just blue myself.
