Sacha Baron Cohen's new movie Bruno, also known as Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Males Visibly Uncomfortable in the Presence of a Gay Foreigner in a Mesh T-Shirt, comes out July 10th, and the first trailer has finally surfaced. I would wait until you got home to watch this one:

With the Internet abuzz about the surprisingly fantastic reviews for Adventureland and the so-sick-it-makes-you-want-to-cry awesomeness of the "Where the Wild Things Are" trailer, it seems completely reasonable that an upcoming low-profile documentary might be overlooked amongst such buzz, despite the fact that it has the potential of being the most entertaining hour and a half of film of all time.
In choosing to depict Mike Tyson's life in a documentary, the director has chosen a subject born with the God-given ability to make every word that comes out of his mouth incredibly entertaining (due either to the content of those words, ...
The answer, my friends, is very.
Where the Wild Things Are, adapted from everyone's favorite children's book and directed by the awesome Spike Jonze, comes out in October. Get your hallucinogens and/or children ready.

This is a re-cut "trailer" for Ferris Bueller's Day Off set to the theme song for Requiem for a Dream (which, if you've even seen the movie once, you know). Aside from it being a tad too long, it is absolutely brilliant.
Wow, I am on an absolute posting frenzy!
But this was just too good for me not to share it with my faithful readers. I present to you the 50 greatest comedy sketches of all time, including videos to almost every one. Good shit.
This is easily the greatest idea for a movie ever: take the idea behind "Super-Size Me" (man eats McDonald's for 30 days and sees whether he gets fat) and switch "McDonald's food" with "marijuana."

Watch this trailer and tell me that this movie won't blow "There Will Be Blood" out of the water. Apparently, this will be released on DVD on June 10th, so mark your calendars.
