What's Your Favorite Judd Apatow-Directed Movie?
When I saw Funny People last week, I was quick to call it my least favorite of the three movies Judd Apatow has directed. I just didn't have quite the same feeling as I did after seeing 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up when I wanted to watch them again and again. Out of the three, I have a particularly special place in my heart for 40-Year-Old Virgin, but tell me — what's your favorite Judd Apatow movie?
Box Office: Horton Hears a Lot of Ka-Ching
After shattering 2008 box office records last week, Horton Hears a Who once again took the top spot over this Easter holiday weekend. Variety reports that Good Friday was the strongest day for Dr. Seuss' Horton which took in $25.1 million over the weekend in addition to the movie's opening weekend earnings of $45 million.
2007: Year of Apatow
I said it back in May, and it's still true as the year winds down: Judd Apatow is everywhere. The man whom the Los Angeles Times named "the mayor of comedy" had two of the Summer movie season's biggest hits, signed on for several more highly anticipated projects, had a New York Times Magazine cover story all about him, and generally became a household name — not bad for a self-described schlub in an unglamorous polo shirt. Want to reminisce about Apatow's big year?
Do You Think Knocked Up Is Sexist?
In a recent Vanity Fair interview , Katherine Heigl stated that she didn't really like Knocked Up because she thinks it's sexist. She says, "It paints the women as shrews, as humorless and uptight, and it paints the men as lovable, goofy, fun-loving guys. It exaggerated the characters, and I had a hard time with it, on some days.
What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday
All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue.
Knocked Up
If you somehow missed one of this year's best comedies, now's your chance to laugh and cringe your way through Knocked Up, Judd Apatow's summer success.
James Franco Gets Fake-Fired from Knocked Up
In case there was any doubt that Knocked Up must have had the most fun movie set in recent history, here's more proof: yet another fake on-set fight video. This time, it's not Michael Cera who's been cast in (and fired from) the Seth Rogen role — it's James Franco. He's supposed to whisk Katherine Heigl's character off for a romantic lunch, but instead he launches into a dull story about a dog, leading to a screaming fight between him and director Judd Apatow that covers the demise of "Freaks and Geeks" and pits Apatow against Spider-Man director Sam Raimi.
Ocean's Thirteen Swindles Pirates Out of No. 1 Spot
Ocean and his cohorts robbed the latest Pirates of the Caribbean movie out of their No. 1 spot at the box office. Ocean's Thirteen took in an impressive $37 million its opening weekend while Pirates followed behind in second place with $21 million.
What's Your Favorite Summer Movie So Far?
This week Ocean's Thirteen comes out so we'll have even more options when it comes to summer movies. But so far, between the super-spiders, pirates, ogres and surprise pregnancies, which is your favorite summer movie so far?
If you haven't seen these movies, which are you most excited to see?
Would You Get With Seth Rogen?
One of my (very few!) beefs with Knocked Up was that it didn't seem like Allison (Katherine Heigl) and Ben (Seth Rogen) were really all that into each other.
Cinematical (by way of Hollywood Elsewhere) has put things a little more bluntly: Would someone who looks like Allison actually get with someone who looks like Ben? Allison's character is not shallow or judgmental, but what she actually likes about Ben is unclear.
Box Office: Pirates Still Over Getting Knocked Up
Though suffering a huge dip in sales (earning $43 million this weekend, down from $139 million the previous weekend), Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End easily took the No. 1 spot at the box office this weekend, though Judd Apatow's latest baby Knocked Up came in second place with a respectable $29 million. The budget for Knocked Up, by the way, was approximately $30 million, so I'd say they're off to a great start.
