I have no problem with being biased, so I’ll say it-I love Judd Apatow, and I refuse to apologize for it. Since the days of Freaks and Geeks, I’ve followed and enjoyed everything with his stamp, and say what you will, but I loved every minute of it (to varying degrees, of course). Maybe ...

The picture above is one of nine in a gallery online at Vanity Fair that's well worth checking out here. This "Honeymooners" shot had to be my favorite because Bill Hader, Anna Faris, Leslie Mann and Jason Bateman are all just sensationally funny people, but there's plenty more to enjoy - including ...

Filed under: OpEd, Saturday Night Live, Episode Reviews (S34E16) It was pretty obvious there was going to be at least two sketches with the Jonas Brothers. I called it! I mean, no one apart from the people in my apartment know I called it, but that doesn't change the facts or my sad sense of accompl...

I love when actors, writers, or directors known almost exclusively for one thing decide to tackle a genre completely outside of their safety zone. It may not work every time, but it’s almost always interesting. Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder worked. Denise Richards in The World Is Not Enough did...

We always leave the horror stories for our grand master, Scott Weinberg, but since he's having a grand old time at Sundance it falls to the rest of the crew to keep the horror fans updated. But honestly, this sounds like the kind of slasher flick that even the squeamish can get behind. Devin Faraci ...

Judd Apatow is producing a slasher film? YES. I wouldn't make such an sophisticated, detailed graphic if that weren't the case.

We are in a golden age of comedy and Judd Apatow deserves a wealth of plaudits for his part in it. Not only are the films he has directed himself definitely at the peak, he’s also behind - to some extent - much of the second and third tiers too. I might not agree with every director (Seth Gord...

But while I'...

Two Sickness Cinema favorites celebrate their birthdays today. First up is the Arrested Development alum that has taken the world by storm, Mr. Michael Cera who is turning 20. Mr. Cera's colossal talent and nice-guy persona make him a fan favorite of the highest order. No one just likes Michael Cera...

Filed under: OpEd, Saturday Night Live, Episode Reviews, Reality-Free (S33E11) I honestly was not worried about Shia LaBeouf delivering a less than stellar performance, as his first stint on Saturday Night Live showed that he works well with the cast and is naturally very goofy. With a funny guy lik...
