Video: Michael Angarano Talks Kevin Smith's Red State Controversy and Homework at Sundance

PopSugar — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 07:35:00 PST

Michael Angarano has two very different movies at Sundance this year, the very sweet Homework and Kevin Smith's headline-making Red State. Homework was quickly snatched up by Fox Searchlight, while Smith raised controversy by claiming he was going to auction off Red State after the premiere and instead announcing his own plans to distribute the film. Angarano sat down to talk with us about both projects, the Red State "circus" complete with protesters and counter-protesters, and teaming up with a talented cast including Emma Roberts and Freddy Highmore. Also, don't miss our interview with Elizabeth Reaser about Homework and Breaking Dawn.

Red State Teaser: This Is a Kevin Smith Movie?!

BuzzSugar — Thu, 23 Dec 2010 12:40:50 PST

The teaser for the upcoming horror flick Red State is definitely not what we've come to expect from Kevin Smith, king of the slacker comedy. John Goodman and Melissa Leo star in the story of religious fundamentalism gone overboard in Middle America. But is it a scary movie or a political statement? Despite the somewhat obvious message pushing (just look at the title), it's interesting to see Smith branch out into a new genre. He must know what he's doing, because this footage is definitely disturbing. The film will premiere at Sundance next month, but give it a peek when you

Cop Out: Comedic Misconduct

Shannon Vestal — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 06:30:00 PST

It's easy to cast an odd couple in a movie, counting on their unexpected pairing for the initial draw. For Cop Out, that couple is Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan, a seasoned action vet and a live-wire comic. It's an inspired pair, and though there are some laughs in this caper, there's also a lot of laziness that makes this movie . . . wait for it . . . a total cop out.

As Jimmy and Paul, the straight man and goofy screw-up who have been police partners for nine long years, Willis and Morgan induce chuckles just by interacting in the beginning. Where director Kevin Smith goes wrong is relying too much on the sight gag of the polar opposites together.

To hear more of what I thought, just

Working off of a script by Mark and Rob Cullen rather than his own writing, you'd think that Smith's director trademarks would be subdued. You'd be wrong. There are plenty of penis jokes, rivaled only by the amount of poop jokes. I'm not a total stick-in-the-mud; I'll laugh at a poop joke if it's funny, but when it's being invoked repeatedly for shock value, I get bored. These kinds of easy laughs dominate the movie's dialogue, which isn't just mind-numbing, it's a waste of talent - particularly Morgan's. The actor's delivery is spot-on in each episode of 30 Rock, but he comes off as an oafish dummy in this role.

Did I mention that the plot of the movie is that Jimmy and Paul are in pursuit of a valuable baseball card? No, I didn't yet because that simple storyline becomes so overstuffed with wacky characters and vignettes that you completely forget the point of the expedition.

I will give it up for Seann William Scott as a Parkour-practicing petty criminal who keeps crossing paths with the duo. But, when the funniest scenes in the movie belong to a peripheral character, can that really be a victory? It's par for the course for Cop Out, which manages to be a succession of low comedy mixed with a few good laughs - and too many stumbles.

Police Partners: Best Movie Cop Duos

BuzzSugar — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 16:30:48 PST

Seems that whenever Hollywood has a crime to solve, it calls on a pair of mismatched officers for its hijinks. Take for instance Lethal Weapon, Starsky and Hutch, Rush Hour - and joining their ranks this Friday, director Kevin Smith's Cop Out, which features Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan as partners. It's an unlikely pairing, but they're obviously not the first to try this formula. Can they stack up against their predecessors? Check out my list of favorites!

Bruce and Tracy Are Two Cops Out For a NYC Premiere

PopSugar — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 15:00:00 PST

Bruce Willis brought his wife Emma Heming to last night's premiere of Cop Out in NYC. Tracy Morgan coordinated his red outfit with the carpet, where the guys were joined by Seann William Scott and Michelle Trachtenberg. Their costar Adam Brody was fresh from LA, though he turned up without his female traveling companion, while Kevin Smith also made it despite his recent airplane difficulties. Tracy was excited to share all about the best part of working on the film, which opens on Friday. "Just to be able to star in a big action movie," he said. "[It was] the biggest thing that I've ever done in my career and it was with Bruce Willis."

We've all had our Twitter TMI moments and online slipups - you'll know it by that instant feeling of regret after you hit "submit"- but at least you aren't a celebrity with millions of eyeballs watching your every move. Or maybe you are? Either way, celebs aren't immune from sending out tweets that would have been better served as a journal entry in the privacy of their own homes. Check out these celebrity Twitter blunders, and try to learn from their mistakes, will ya?

Movie Preview: Tracy Morgan and Bruce Willis in Cop Out

BuzzSugar — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 09:30:00 PST

There are a lot of things that please me about the preview for Cop Out (formerly known as the less SFW-sounding A Couple of Dicks): a return to form as a tough-talking officer for Bruce Willis, an always hilarious Tracy Morgan, and the fact that the movie is directed by Kevin Smith, but does not look like a Kevin Smith film.

Though I'll always have a soft spot for Mallrats and Clerks, it looks like the Smith-isms have been toned down for this raucous and fun buddy cop flick, instead playing to the actors' strengths rather than the director's. Morgan and Willis together is enough to get me excited, while the promise of Adam Brody's appearance in the movie (though not the trailer, boo) sweetens the pot. Brody's not the only rad actor who's been included, either; Rashida Jones, Jason Lee, Michelle Trachtenberg, and Fred Armisen are all in the cast list.

Should the Zack and Miri Title Change For Wal-Mart?

BuzzSugar — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 16:30:24 PST

Yay: The Zack and Miri Make a Porno DVD will hit shelves next Tuesday, Feb. 3! But on Wal-Mart's shelves the title may look a little bit different. Wal-Mart requested that director Kevin Smith change the title on the DVD covers so the word "porno" isn't there, and Smith has agreed to do it. Here's more:

Smith said Weinstein Co., which released the film Oct. 31, has complied with Wal-Mart's request and created new DVD covers for the retailer, but the director worries that some unsuspecting customers will be fooled when they see the shortened title.

[Smith said,] "I mean, at least with the word 'porno' in the title, you can kind of give people a warning about what they're in for."

That's a good point, really - is it actually doing anyone a service to take the word "porno" out of the title? Or is it understandable that Wal-Mart would want the DVD cover to not include that word?
