DVD Release List: July 7, 2009: The Unborn is Knowingly Smoking the King Bong
7 July 2009 6:00 PM, PDT | From DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news
It's a small list of DVD releases with a couple of sequels we had no idea had even been made and two flicks that tried something different but didn't quite pull it off. Without a doubt the pick of the week is the re-release of Kathryn Bigelow's vamp classic Near Dark.
If it's not on your shelf, do yourself a favor and Buy It Now! And pick up a copy of Evil Bong 2, too, while you're at it. Tommy Chong has legal bills to pay!

Hangover Movies For Those Rough Mornings After
5 June 2009 11:00 AM, PDT | From MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news
Nobody likes to start their day with a hangover. It hurts, for starters. There’s also a good chance that if you consumed enough alcohol to have a hangover, you probably lost a chunk or two of the previous night in the process.
That is certainly the case in this week’s aptly named summer comedy, “The Hangover,” in which three pals take their soon-to-be-married friend out to Las Vegas for a bachelor party. They wake up the morning after with the groom missing and no recollection of what happened. Cue the shenanigans. In honor of Todd Phillips’ latest release, I’ve assembled this brief list of hangover movies to dull the pain of your misspent evenings.
“Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas” (1998)
In the world of literary adaptations on film, Terry Gilliam’s “Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas” ranks among the best of them. The late journalist/author Hunter S. Thompson

Larry Charles to Direct Winter’s Discontent
7 April 2009 11:12 PM, PDT | From TheMovingPicture.net | See recent TheMovingPicture news
Larry Charles, former Seinfeld producer and director of Religious, Borat and the upcoming Bruno and who was at one point was working on the next Cheech & Chong flick, has signed on to helm Winter’s Discontent, a comedy for Columbia Pictures. Discontent centers on a sexually frustrated widower who moves into a retirement community with his best buddy -- looking to get laid. Charles Roven and Alex Gartner are producing through their Sony-based Atlas Entertainment shingle. The studio bought the spec last year by novice scribe Paul Fruchbom, a onetime banker and journalist, and studio executives Matt Tolmach and Sam Dickerman put the project on the fast track. Atlas' Roven (The Dark Knight) and Gartner (Get Smart) recently wrapped production on the supernatural thriller Season of the Witch, starring Nicolas Cage and Ron Perlman, for Relativity Media.

What Does The Observer Have Against Danny McBride?
20 March 2009 4:32 PM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news
The answer to that question appears to be everything! In a piece entitled Danny McBride, We Don't Get You!, writer Christopher Rosen takes the comedian to task for everything from his "ugly and unredeemable characters" to a more general complaint that the man is just plain unfunny. Rosen goes on to describe McBride as "...Will Ferrell, only without the charm or talent." Ouch, did McBride run over this guy's dog with a piece of Kenny F**king Powers Awesomeness, or what?
But Rosen has plenty of venom to go around, and he also tears a strip off McBride's latest comedy partner, David Gordon Green. The two worked together on the HBO series East Bound and Down and announced last year that they would be working together again on the medieval comedy, Your Highness. But according to Rosen, Green's choice to work with McBride is the equivalent of getting career advice from Tommy Chong.

Cheech & Chong Eye Broadway Musical
3 March 2009 1:55 PM, PST | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
Comedy duo Cheech & Chong are in talks to take their act to Broadway - and revamp it as a musical.
Richard 'Cheech' Marin and Tommy Chong shot to fame in the 1970s and '80s with their stand-up shows and movies and the pair reunited for another round of gigs in 2008.
And their act is still so popular among comedy audiences, they are negotiating a move to the New York stage, in addition to their latest film project.
Chong tells Maxim magazine, "We're working on an animated film and discussing a Broadway musical."
Gehera: The Hairiest Kaiju You've Ever Seen!
3 March 2009 9:41 AM, PST | From DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news
The Kaiju, or giant monster, movies out of Japan have long been fodder for many a fan's amusement. There's just nothing like seeing a guy in a rubber suit stomp a building. With Gehara, director Kiyotaka Taguchi is out to prove that there's nothing like seeing a gut in a hairy rubber suit stomp a building.
DC reader Avery Guerra sent us a link to a blog that has lots of production photos from the upcoming short film Chohatsu Daikaiju Gehara, or Long-haired Giant Monster Gehara, which features a beast that looks to be a hybrid of those weird creatures from The Dark Crystal, Godzilla, and Tommy Chong.

Spotted: Ed and Jessica Xoxo-ing Courtside
3 February 2009 9:00 AM, PST | From Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news
For Jessica Szohr and Ed Westwick the action at the Knicks-Lakers game was in the audience as they publicly kissed in NYC last night. Ed had a steamy plotline on Gossip Girl, but in real life things aren't so mysterious anymore. We heard rumors about these two back in December and saw them out with Chace last Thursday, but these photos of them cuddling up, laughing and drinking beer confirm it. Meanwhile, America Ferrera sat sandwiched between her boyfriend Ryan and Jay-z, and left with her pregnant co-star Ana Ortiz. Jay-z didn't have his own courtside partner with him this time but he looked like he was having a blast with America despite the Lakers beating the Knicks. To see more photos of Ed, Jessica, America, Jay-z, Whoopi Goldberg, Ana Ortiz and others just read more. Images include: Jay-z, Whoopi Goldberg, Spike Lee, America Ferrera, Ed Westwick, Jessica Szohr, Cheech Marin,

[DVD Review] Cheech & Chong: Still Smokin'
30 January 2009 8:36 PM, PST | From JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news
I'm not sure why Hollywood thinks that stand-up comedians will automatically translate their charm and humor onto the big screen. Some comedians manage the transition (early Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy chief among them), but most land flat. The outrageous ones are neutered and the more family-friendly comics get stuck in 90-minute sitcoms (where their appeal might be better served). Bill Cosby had a good run on television, but his movies are famously inept. Chris Rock is mostly thrown into formulaic PG-13 comedies that don't play to his strengths. Even the master Richard Pryor failed to squeeze more than a couple of yuks out of any of his movies not featuring his famous foil, Gene Wilder. Part of the problem, I'm sure, is because they're not in their natural element of riffing a series of conversational jokes and one-liners. Rodney Dangerfield was hilarious in Caddyshack because he basically just showed

Cheech & Chong "Light Up America" At South Beach Comedy Festival Performance
22 January 2009 4:23 AM, PST | From icelebz.com | See recent iCelebz news
"I truly believe pot can save the world," said Tommy Chong, one half of the famed comedic duo, Cheech & Chong, who proved that creed with their heavily drug-tinged "Light Up America" tour stop at the Fillmore at the Jackie Gleason Theater. The duo, who are touring for the first time in 25 years, were the first comedians to perform as part of this year's 4th Annual South Beach Comedy Festival.
The time since the last tour saw Cheech & Chong split. With their friendship on the rocks, they both went separate ways in their career. Cheech Marin has a successful career in film and television, with parts in every Robert Rodriguez-helmed film and voiceover work in everything from 1994's "The Lion King" to last year's "Beverly Hills Chihuahua." He can even currently be seen on ABC's "Lost."
Chong had a recurring role on TV's "That 70's Show." A 2003 bust for selling

Q&A With Cheech & Chong
18 January 2009 3:02 AM, PST | From NYPost.com | See recent New York Post news
Maybe it's the recent influx of stoner films like "Pineapple Express" and the "Harold and Kumar" series, or maybe it's New York's impending return to the recession-driven grit of the '70s. But for whatever reason, the time for a smokedelic "Cheech & Chong" reunion feels just about right.
The duo split nearly 25 years ago. Tommy Chong kept the stoner-comedy torch aflame as a solo act when not spending nine months in prison for selling bongs. Cheech Marin took the mainstream route, appearing in shows like "Nash Bridges" and
