Al Madrigal is about to have a real Showtime month.
Before he makes his way onto TV screens as loose-cannon comedian Edgar Martinez in the Jim Carrey-produced Showtime series “I’m Dying Up Here,” Madrigal will be starring in his own one-hour stand-up special “Al Madrigal: Shrimpin’ Aint Easy,” premiering on Showtime on Saturday, May 5. Ahead of the the special’s Cinco de Mayo debut, we have two clips highlighting the former “Daily Show” correspondent’s hilarious take on Yelp reviews and an “‘Ocean’s Eleven’-style” takedown of Donald Trump. (you may want to hold the cilantro on your next order of tacos)
The comedy special will also feature Madrigal tackling important issues including dark family secrets, parenting, anger management, and an unbelievable tale of seafood gone wrong.

It’s the dog days of summer. This last weekend in August’s box office will top last year’s meagre $63 million. But if it squeaks past February’s Superbowl Weekend take ($74 million)—the worst weekend of the year so far—it won’t be new openers driving the numbers.
At best, only one film, $10-million Sony horror entry “Don’t Breathe,” about a break-in gone awry, will exceed $10 million. It looks to battle “Suicide Squad” (Warner Bros.) for the top spot. “Don’t Breathe” is the latest in a string of lower-budget horror films that have propped up the box office, including “Lights Out” and “Conjuring 2.” “Breathe” comes from rising Uruguayan director Fede Alvarez, whose 2013 “Evil Dead” managed $54 million, nearly $100 million worldwide, on a $17 million budget.
Should “Suicide” repeat, it would be the first four-week #1 since “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” achieved the same in January. But it would...

*full disclosure: a screener of this film was provided by Left Films.
Director/writer: Rene Perez.
Cowboys and Zombies is being released in the United Kingdom August 1st on DVD. The film's title may or may not be a way to capitalize on the looming success of Cowboys and Aliens, which releases near the same date. In North America, this title is called the more unique, but less fun The Dead and the Damned and the film will release in this territory July 26th on DVD. This is an independent film from director Rene Perez, who also directed the upcoming War Machine. Set in the 19th Century, a meteorite crashes the party in a small western town. Zombies takeover, while a bounty hunter searches for a wild apache "indian" (Cowboys) to earn a plentiful bounty. Overall, this is a strangely enjoyable time from a gifted first time director.
David A. Lockhart plays a troubled Mortimer.
