On-Camera Review of “Forgetting Sarah Marshall”

Posted on April 18th, 2008

Eric and J.D. discuss why Jason Segel is the new Seth Rogen (”Superbad”) and what makes “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” better than most romantic comedies of its ilk. It may have something to do with producer Judd Apatow (”Knocked Up, “The 40 Year-old Virgin”), but they’re pretty sure it has more to do with an unflinching sense of honesty, lots of male nudity, and a keen eye on satirizing Hollywood types. Plus, UK comedian Russell Brand is hilarious.

Pineapple Express

Starring Seth Rogen and James Franco, its a stoner romp and a also a funny send-up on classic action TV series and action films.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

If there were ever a completely paint-by-numbers movie, this lame action retread filled with lame jokes in a lame plot would be it.

The X-Files: I Want to Believe

The science vs. faith argument bludgeons the audience and the central mystery has an absurdly silly resolution in this feature-length version of a mediocre TV episode.

Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson

A celebration of a genre-busting writer/rabble-rouser and an elegy for a time period when a freak like Hunter S. Thompson could get access to political leaders and actually affect radical change.

The Dark Knight

Christopher Nolan’s Batman epic may be a little overstuffed, but it’s also a riveting, morally complex tale with a standout villain and thrilling action.
