Take This Waltz is the latest effort from Sarah Polley who last directed the fantastic film Away From Her in 2006. Take This Waltz is a funny, bittersweet and heart-wrenching story about a woman struggling to choose between two different types of love.
The film stars Michelle Williams and Seth Rogen as a couple struggling with said fidelity; it also has Sarah Silverman playing Rogen’s sister. Look for a June 29th limited release and watch the trailer below:
Did you smoke my pot?!
I am on the fence of what to think about Seth Rogen these days, and 50/50 doesn’t make me feel all that comfortable. I shouldn’t rush to any judgments just yet.. Thankfully our friends over at FilmWonk have saved me the trouble of having to digest this one.

It’s a slow news day, can you tell? Yesterday we shows you the 25 Greatest Unscripted Scenes in Film, today we have 25 Actors Before They Were Famous. I didn’t know Daniel Craig was in A Kid in King Arthur’s Court, I did however know that Joseph Gordon-Levitt was on Roseanne because I’ve watched the series enough times. Leonardo DiCaprio was on an episode in a non speaking role too [see].

Trailer for Intruders Starring Clive Owen, release date October 7th, 2011:
The upcoming dramedy 50/50 from screenwriter Will Reiser based the story on his own battle with cancer has a trailer for your viewing. I would like to be more optimistic about this film with the talents involved like Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bryce Dallas Howard. Alas, Seth Rogen playing Seth Rogen brings it all too close to that Hollywood level. let’s hope the balance between comedy and drama are equally matched when the movie arrived.
The film opens September 30th. Click for the trailer and synopsis
Here is the first movie trailer for Michel Gondry’s big screen adaptation of The Green Hornet starring Seth Rogen, Cameron Diaz, Jay Chou and Christoph Waltz. This looks so generic, and that is surprising knowing Gondry is involved and Seth Rogen is known to have put a lot of effort behind this project. There is a moment in the trailer when Rogen hurts himself in the most cartoon style way, it brought the whole thing down. I’m putting this up there with Get Smart until they can prove otherwise.

Van Damme and Garber round out the cast as Master Croc and Master Thundering Rhino, respectively. In the sequel, Po goes on an amazing personal journey in a quest to overcome the forces of evil.
Wouldn't even give up a seat to a woman.
I thought last season of The Simpsons was one of the best in years, executive producer Al Jean says I’m wrong…“I think this upcoming season is our best in years”. The 21st season will begin on September 27th with “Homer The Whopper” written by Evan Goldberg and Rogen. Comic Book Guy casts Homer as the lead in “Everyman”, a feature film based on the new comic book superhero he created. To whip him into shape for the part, the movie studio hires celebrity fitness trainer Lyle McCarthy (guest voice Seth Rogen) but Homer has trouble with his new, healthy regimen.
Fact. Rogen and Ricky Gervais are the only people outside of the show’s staff to write a script for an episode.The writing gig came about after Goldberg met Simpsons executive producer James L. Brooks and learned he was a fan of Superbad, which Rogen and Goldberg wrote. They are “obsessed” with The Simpsons— “the funniest single thing ever created,” Rogen says — and decided it would be fun to write an episode. “We knew Ricky Gervais had written an episode. We thought if he got to write one, maybe we could try”.
