between the troubled production story (directors coming in to try to fix the film) and the bad reviews I have pretty much lost all interest in this film. For a while there it seemed like it could be something tough.

The Last Legion

The Players: Colin Firth as a Roman legionnaire, Ben Kingsley as Merlin and Aishwarya Rai as, hmm, a hot woman?
The Story: Honestly, I can’t tell for sure. But there is something involving the fall of the Roman empire and Excalibur (yes, the one you know from the King Arthur stories).
Rotten Tomatoes: No reviews yet.

Colin Firth as a legionnaire? Really? Love the guy, but legionnaire?

Superbad

The Players: Michael Cera (Arrested Development), co-written by Seth Rogen (Knocked Up), produced by Judd Apatow.
The Story: Two friends on the verge of finishing high school have to deal with their upcoming separation. Somehow, hilarity ensues.
Rotten Tomatoes: 88%

Superbad is supergood! I know, I know. But I had to do it. Honestly, I haven’t seen the film yet, but the potential appears to be immense.

Death at a Funeral

The Players: Director Frank Oz (Bowfinger)
The Story: Guy dies. Family comes together. Funny stuff happens because family is dysfunctional. The end.
Rotten Tomatoes: 69%

I sort of love this little weird family comes together comedies. This one probably won’t be anything exception, but should be worth the time.
