Fox Digital Studios Drops New Series, Short Film On Netflix
1 April 2013 3:12 PM, PDT | Tubefilter.com | See recent Tubefilter News news »
Lost among all of the fake releases hitting the Internet today are a few legit debuts, two of which have recently taken off on Netflix. Fox's Digital Studio has launched Good Samartians, a five episode comedy series, and Shotgun Wedding, a 90 minute feature film, on the premium distribution site. Good Samaritans was the first of the two productions to debut, as all five episodes hit Netflix on March 31. The series follows Jake and Drew, a couple who accidentally burn down an entire forest as they fight over their impending break up. As a result, they must serve 2000 hours of community service, all while putting up with each other and a host of assorted misfits. Good Samaritans is produced by Van Wilder director Walt Becker, and it features the same brand of crude, R-rated humor found in that movie. It's a decently funny series with some strong characters and a vibe »

Monsters University Website Gets Hacked By Fear Tech
1 April 2013 1:01 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Ah, the good ol' fashioned college prank. It's a staple of cinema from Animal House to Van Wilder to Revenge of the Nerds, it's a true staple of the college comedy genre - so it just makes sense that Monsters University would want to get in on the action as well. In celebration of the April Fools Day holiday, the fictional homepage for the premiere scaring school featured in Pixar's upcoming movie has been hacked...by the rival Fear Tech. While the site was originally beautiful and blue, showing off picturesque images of the Mu campus, all images have now been replaced with shots of Ft's weird pig-looking mascot and the whole site has been painted with an orange coat. Also, clicking anywhere on the site reveals more graffiti as well as some ugly squeal sounds. But that's not all the Monsters University action we have for you! In the »

Yuck: The 10 Grossest Comedy Movie Scenes Ever
23 January 2013 2:00 PM, PST | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
They're called gags for a reason, folks.
The idea of gross-out comedy is nothing new: Since the dawn of modern cinema, filmmakers have tried to capture audiences' "yucks" along with their yuks. Beginning with 1914's silent feature "Nell's Eugenic Wedding," in which a character eats soap and then repeatedly vomits for supposed chuckles, bodily fluids, nudity and innuendo have been trotted out for an uncomfortable laugh.
This weekend sees the release of "Movie 43," perhaps the granddaddy of all gross-out movies, consisting of several comedy shorts strung together to make an aggressively raunchy full-length movie. Boasting some of Hollywood's top names — Emma Stone, Hugh Jackman and Elizabeth Banks, to name just a few — performing unspeakable acts, some wide-eyed moviegoers may find the flick tough to stomach.
They say the best way to acclimate to a new experience or overcome a phobia is to face it. "Movie 43" doesn't come out in theaters until this weekend, »

The Top Ten Most Quotable Films
23 January 2013 12:17 AM, PST | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
They say a great script makes a great film, and, in the case of all the movies below, result in hundreds of quotes, ranging from the hilarious to the devastating. What with the release date of Movie 43 (which could prove to be the most quotable comedy of all time) approaching rapidly, we thought we’d put together a list of some of our favourite films guaranteed to inspire a healthy quote-a-thon wherever you may be.
10. Van Wilder
“Write that down”, “The first day of spring semester. A time to say goodbye to the parents once again, and say hello to a few new student bodies”, “Details. Only details”
Perpetual party animal Van Wilder may be remembered for staying in school just that little bit longer than his classmates, but boy-oh—boy can he throw out some one-liners. Now just over ten years on from its original release, Van is »

Movie 43: a gross-out workout
18 January 2013 4:06 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Peter Farrelly's new film ticks every gross-out box
"Prepare for a motion picture experience that's unforgivable!" warns the trailer for Movie 43. Out on Friday, in a week dominated by seriousface Oscar fare, it's a bold marketing gambit, and one that requires a certain amount of "bad meaning good" cognizance to fully appreciate, It's also a window into the irreverent sensibility of the genre to which Movie 43 so gleefully subscribes: gross-out.
Though its roots date back to cinema's earliest days (1), the gross-out genre blossomed in the wake of John Landis's 1978 comedy Animal House. Grossing (*snort*) more than 70 times its production cost, the film spawned a deluge of low-budget, -brow and -inhibition comedies, all eager to replicate its unlikely success. Some did (the Porky's franchise ran and ran) and some didn't (anyone remember Squeeze Play?) but together they revelled in pushing the boundaries of cinematic decency and audience stamina. »
