Box Office: Ultimate Bourne Breaks Records
For this weekend at least, Jason Bourne reigned supreme over James Bond. The Bourne Ultimatum finished its premiere weekend with an estimated $70.2 million in ticket sales, beating not only the other two Bourne films but also the premiere numbers for any Bond movie. It was also the biggest August premiere for any movie ever, and it was a personal best for both star Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass.
Hot Rod: More Like Lukewarm Rod
After meeting the funny, friendly Andy Samberg and his buddies ("The Dudes") I wanted very much to give Hot Rod a great review. But I just can't do it. Luckily, Samberg himself said once in a separate interview that he knows the movie will get bad reviews.
Which of This Weekend's New Movies Are You Most Interested to See?
This upcoming weekend will be very exciting at movie theaters. Out of the following movies opening this Friday August 3, which are you most interested to see? Is it Hot Rod with the funny and charmingly tousled Andy Samberg?
Buzz Interview: Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, Akiva Schaffer
Andy Samberg and his friends/Lonely Island cohorts Jorma Taccone (pictured, right) and Akiva Schaffer (pictured, middle) have somehow figured out how to achieve the greatest thing ever. Growing up together in Berkeley, California, the three are now working together on "Saturday Night Live" and are about to release their first feature film, Hot Rod, this Friday. So, basically they figured out how to get paid to make jokes with their high school buddies.
Celebs Are Hot For Hot Rod
One of our favorite funny guys, Andy Samberg, had lots of help from his friends at the premiere of his big movie debut in Hot Rod. In the movie, he plays a wannabe stuntman preparing for the bike jump of his life. Andy's SNL co-stars Seth Meyers and Fred Amisen posed on the red carpet, while his buddy Shia was looking awfully greasy, much to our disappointment.
Movie Preview: Hot Rod
Well, it's no Knocked Up, but the new trailer for Hot Rod starring Andy Samberg and opening August 3 makes it look like a perfectly respectable summer comedy.
So what, exactly, does it have going for it? I'm glad you asked:
Busy Isla Is The Cookie Queen
Isla Fisher has been very busy lately. After starring in the quiet thriller The Lookout this spring, she worked on three comedies: In Wedding Daze (which has also been called The Pleasure of Your Company and The Next Girl I See), she marries a stranger (Jason Biggs), while Hot Rod finds her hopping on a dirt bike opposite Andy Samberg. She also stars in Definitely, Maybe alongside Ryan Reynolds.

Cast a Line and Teach a Tot to Fish
The image of a father standing behind his child and teaching him to cast a line is as iconic as a Norman Rockwell painting. But any parent that has tried to introduce their kiddo to the sport of fishing knows reality isn't as picturesque. From hooks caught on clothing to tangled lines, it's all worth the memories so get out there and catch dinner with your darlings!
American Idol Season Eight Goes Out With a Bang
Last night American Idol finalists Kris Allen and Adam Lambert took the stage for the last time, joined by former contestants and big stars alike. Nicole Richie enjoyed her dad's duet with Danny Gokey with Joel and her little sister Sophia, while Victoria and Romeo Beckham took seats in the audience as well. As promised, the night was full of fun surprises from Kara's surprise sing along (and smokin' hot bikini body — who knew?) to an awesome rendition of "We Are the Champions" featuring Queen.
Hot Rod Dog
From stair gliding to wave riding, Extreme Pete shows some smooth moves on his board. He's out to make this reporter feel like a walking (or falling?) embarrassment.
