Talk about weird — Romanek’s very quiet movie was sandwiched in between a lot of big-ticket films, and the contrast was pretty striking....

Steve Wiebe Reclaims Donkey Kong Title From Billy Mitchell By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 21, 2010 1:01 pm EST Many of you probably have seen the 2007 documentary The King of Kong (and if you haven’t, Netflix it now!).

Last week we heard via tweet that Anchorman 2 wouldn’t be happening, at least for the time being, as Paramount had passed on the film. The issue seemed to be budget.

‘Take Me Home Tonight’ Red Band Trailer By Germain Lussier/Feb. 4, 2011 6:00 pm EST Though it feels like there have been an over abundance of nostalgic Eighties comedies, there really aren’t as many as you’d think.
