I pity actors who have been forced to settle into a typecast after playing a character that was too memorable. Janet Leigh and Anthony Perkins had a hard time finding work after the debut of Alfred Hitchcock’s thriller Psycho. Leonard Nimoy can only land odd jobs if the work is sci-fi or Star Trek related. Even now, Daniel Radcliffe can only ever be Harry Potter on the big screen. There are, however, many actors, allegedly with decent range, who consciously decide to perform the same roles over and over again. After the jump are 15 one-trick ponies who, for better or worse, are forever trapped in the same part by choice.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s new movie “Faster” released in theaters last week. Many people know that Dwayne was a huge WWF / WWE superstar before breaking into the world of cinema, however, few know that he was a college football standout at the University of Miami where he played defensive line. His injury allowed future N… Click to read more

Issued in droves every year for the past 25 years, teen comedies are like new cars, perennially issued with the latest gadgets and gizmos to allure the consumer’s eye. Each promises the latest in teenage angst, romantic longing, social shame, and sexual desperation, along with camaraderie, bonding, and sexual hijinks. Inevitably, one teenage film resembles another in its generalities; the difference between the plots of Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Mean Girls is not much difference at all. It is in the particularities — their efforts to bottle the essence of now — that the best of the teen comedies emerge from the pack.

The 2010 summer blockbuster season hosted a slew of disappointing flicks, prompting critics and film-goers to crown 2010 “The Worst Movie Year Ever” by mid-July. This verdict is understandable given the mega-flops of the early summer (Robin Hood, A-Team), but it’s a bit premature. When 2010 comes to a close, these 8 films might just save the year from being the worst ever.

Television comedies are experiencing a grand resurgence. With such hit comedies as The Big Bang Theory, Glee, Modern Family, How I Met Your Mother, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Two and a Half Men, 30 Rock, and The Office, the viewing schedule is not lacking the funny these days. Maybe one day these awesome shows will join our list of the funniest TV shows ever, but for now, we’ll stick to the classics. What hilarious comedies are you loving?

With only a few weeks left of Summer, 2010 has been pretty much a sh*t year for film. But before we write this year off as totally unsalvageable, a couple movies opening this weekend have big potential. The Expendables and Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World might just have what it takes to kick 2010 back into gear. Finger crossed.

We didn’t get to attend Comic-con, but we still heard all the buzz about Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World here in NYC. Earlier this week COED was lucky enough to attend a screening of Scott Pilgrim, however, and we must admit that the buzz isn’t just hype: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is pure pop-culture cinematic bliss.

After stealing the show in The Hangover, Zach Galifianakis has secured his spot as one of the funniest comedians on the planet. But fans of Galifianakis know the eccentric beardo has been creating some of the craziest, wackiest, most hilarious comedy content for years. Here are our picks for Galifianakis’s Top 20 Most Awesomely Awkward Internet Moments.

Here’s the sad truth: Seth Rogen is wearing very thin on us. His laugh, his stoner shtick, even his cleverness — all the things that we love about him, we’re getting tired of. Seth needs to take a year or two off. Do a supporting role here and there, maybe a stint on Broadway, some Shakespeare in the Catskills for a summer…

Once a year, everyone in Hollywood trades in their fancy sunglasses and Ugg boots for parkas, gloves and, well, Ugg boots, and heads to Park City, Utah, to attend the Sundance Film Festival. The festival, which kicks off this Thursday, has been one the most prominent launching pads for independent cinema over the past two decades. It functions as both a barom… Click to read more

To kick off the album’s release, Rhino has put togeth… Click to read more
