This week’s DVD is Tropic Thunder. This was one of the most talked about comedies of the summer movie releases but was lost amongst other top name films such as The Dark Knight and Indiana Jones. The movie features an awesome cast of mega-stars Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey Jr. (more…)

The PC Brigade is at it again, their target Ben Stiller’s new movie Tropic Thunder. The movie is about a group of actors who are filming a war movie on location in a combat zone and wind up being captured by guerrillas.
The cause of the controversy is Stiller’s character, Tugg Speedman, who in a bid for an Oscar did a movie called “Simple Jack” about a man who was, uh, mentally challenged. It’s tagline, “Once upon a time…there was a retard.” The producers decided to launch a companion website with clips from the ‘film within a film’ and intersperse clips throughout the movie. Though intended to be a parody of how actors portray disabilities in successful bids to win Oscars, the joke was lost on disability activists.
Patricia Bower posted on her website that activists are upset because retarded people, “share a history of segregation and exclusion, and report that what many call the “R-word” reinforces negative social attitudes just as surely as racial, ethnic, and sexually oriented slurs do.” (more…)

If the Farrelly brothers get their way, a Three Stooges movie will be nyuk-nyuking into theaters soon.
Reported to consist of short vignettes tied together as a comedic compilation (think Paris, Je T’aime with more flour and face-slapping) the film would star four unknowns as the leads.
Four leads? Does that mean Shemp will star amongst the slap-happy trio? I hope not. (more…)

Ben Stiller is looking old these days. He looks and acts like he could be Jason Biggs‘ dad.
Even before seeing the Farrelly brothers’ latest romp, The Heartbreak Kid, I was a bit worried. The trailers depicted the flick to be a below-average attempt at updating the 1972 cult classic of the same name. Slapstick, teenage gross-outs and love – the Farrelly brothers have traveled down this road countless other times, and each one was better than this painfully-lacking retread.
Stiller, tired but game, plays Eddie Cantrow, a 40-year-old unmarried man (and sporting goods owner) who’s under the constant pressure of his eternal wingman Mac (Rob Corddry) and his father (Jerry Stiller, natch) to get hitched ASAP.
Cantrow, jaded and lonely, does exactly that: upon meeting the bubbly blonde Lila (Malin Akerman) he gets on the fast track to holy matrimony. As expected – and seen in the tell-tale trailer – things don’t work out between Cantrow and his mystery wife. (more…)
