Ricky Gervais Is Hosting the Golden Globes — Are You Excited?
Ricky Gervais has stolen the show at the last two Emmy Awards, hamming it up and taking no prisoners during his brief stints on stage. The big laughs haven't gone unnoticed, and Gervais is slated to host the upcoming Golden Globe Awards in January.
The show hasn't had a host since 1995 (!) and I can't wait to see Gervais get an even bigger platform to showcase that signature quick wit.
The Invention of Lying: Sweet, but Unsteady
In his Hollywood directorial debut, Ricky Gervais takes us to an alternate universe where honesty makes the world go round. It's not just that lie-telling is an impossibility; everyone can't help but speak their minds at all times, no matter how personal, embarrassing, or brutal their innermost thoughts may be. The premise of The Invention of Lying is rife for comedy, but the film is also a commentary on religion and has its sad moments as well.

Do You Prefer American or British Humor?
In a recent interview, funny British comedian Ricky Gervais compared British television to American television and concluded that American TV is funnier right now. He put it this way:
We've got some poor copies of Curb Your Enthusiasm, some poor copies of Entourage and some poor copies of Seinfeld. With a few exceptions the Americans seem to be ahead of the game.

According to Ricky Gervais's blog, J.J. Abrams has seen Gervais's movie The Invention of Lying and is raving about it. Whether Gervais is joking or not remains to be seen, but he writes:

Ricky Gervais Brings His Stand-Up Comedy to HBO
Ever since turning up for a funny bit with Steve Carell at the Emmys in September, British comedian Ricky Gervais has been back in the news, big-time. He's been rumored as a host for the Oscars (though he denies that he'd take the job) and even hinted that he might like to appear on NBC's version of The Office, the show he co-created.
This weekend, Gervais will be back on HBO — where his second TV series, Extras, finished its run last year — for the premiere of his stand-up special, Ricky Gervais: Out of England.
Box Office: Lakeview Terrace Wins So-So Weekend
Lakeview Terrace, a thriller starring Samuel L. Jackson, came in at No. 1 at the box office over the weekend and performed relatively well with an estimated $15.6 million.
Ghost Town: Easygoing and Sweet
One of the things I like best about Ghost Town is that it doesn't ask anything of you. There's no brain power required, though it's not insultingly stupid or empty. It's not hysterically funny, but it's also not crude or painfully immature.
