The Art of Cinema: Dream Baby Dream
I love going to the movies.
Mike & Dave Need Wedding Dates, but who cares?
Because regardless of how great Zack Efron is (and don’t get me wrong, he’s great!) the main selling point of Mike & Dave Need Wedding Dates is my Sweet Baby Angel Face Anna Kendrick being raunchy with her gal pal Aubrey Plaza.
Going to see the movie now!
Hello, My Name Is JC & I’m Watching Hello, My Name Is Doris
I love Michael Showalter.
From his days in The State to his amazing performance as Coop in Wet Hot American Summer (where he was also a writer) to Stella with Michael Ian Black and David Wain, if it’s got Showalter’s name attached I’ll go out of my way to see it.

It was a balmy evening in Providence way back when in the summer of 2002 when my girlfriend and I decided to check out this small independent comedy playing at The Avon Cinema called Wet Hot American Summer. A a mere 13 years ago, the internet was nothing more than an instrument for AIM chats and thirty second AVIs of pixelated porn. It was not yet the handy resource for Googling, Facebook arguments, and copious amounts of HD porn. This is all a roundabout way of saying we had no idea what WHAS was beyond a token blurb in the movie section of the daily Journal. The most we knew was that it was an 80’s camp comedy featuring Janeane Garofalo (“HEY! I spelled her name correctly!”), Paul Rudd (“HEY! I love that guy from Clueless!”), and those hysterical dudes from The State (“HEY! Those guys!”).
