Pineapple Express 2 Trailer

At long last, starring Seth Rogen and James Franco in the roles that defined their careers, it's the trailer for the sequel you've all been waiting for.



Poking fun at a previous film to promote a new one sounds like a strange move, but it is, of course, a joke, with today's date being the reason behind its release. Still, it's a pretty good joke that not only has me in the mood to re-watch the original Pineapple Express, it also has me further sold on the premise of the film it is really promoting, This Is The End.

Previously seeming a bit wanky (what with Rogen, Franco, Hill, McBride, etc, play themselves watching the end of the world from a celebrity party), this comedy is starting to look like the quintessential Seth Rogen film (high concept seen through a haze of smoke), and the ideal one for him to make his directorial debut with, alongside regular co-writer/producer Evan Goldberg.

Who knows whether this is purely a stand-alone joke made as a piece of viral marketing (quite expertly, I might say), or if this footage will actually feature in the film in some way. Personally, I could stand to see a bit more of Jonah Hill's Woody Harrelson impression.

This Is The End is released this summer. Sadly, Pineapple Express 2 will probably only ever exist in the hearts and minds of those too lethargic to make it.

The Good, the Bad and the Blu-rays

In another quiet week for DVD and Blu-ray releases, one new comedy stands head and shoulders above the rest of the week's questionable horror ideas and potential lawsuit provoking rip-offs.

THE SITTER DVD review

Hired as a babysitter for the night, layabout Noah (Jonah Hill) sits there responsibly, looks after the kids and everything goes to plan. No wait, that'd be a stupid idea for a movie. As you'd expect, things go wrong and hilarity ensues; but to what level?

21 JUMP STREET review

Failing at their jobs as bicycle cops, Schmidt and Jenko (Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum) get assigned to an undercover mission at a local high school. Whilst trying to pass for students, they must infiltrate a drug gang operating from within the school, all the while making sure that they don't cause any trouble, take any drugs or sleep with any of the teachers.

CYRUS DVD review

Out now on DVD and Blu-Ray is the new offering from the kings of mumblecore, the Duplass Brothers. Watch the trailer and read my review, next...

Asterisks and The Lesson In Over Censorship

I'm pretty sure we're all aware of which naughty word they've purposely censored in the tagline for Cyrus, and frankly, it's some good advice. But were the asterisks really so ineffective that they needed to soften the naughty word AND keep the asterisks for the DVD cover?

It's perhaps a slightly overzealous change when they clearly don't have a problem with Jonah Hill waving his fist at John C Reilly with the international sign language for wanker.


Maybe they just like f**king around with stuff. Kn*bheads.
