Burnham is a You Tube sensation who has got a reasonable following of

Memo to Judd Apatow: Your movie is too long!
Dear Judd: As you know, I'm a big admirer of your work, in all its many permutations, going back--way back--to your TV work ("Freaks and Geeks" still hasn't lost a step) and early film efforts (it being NBA playoff time,  my kid and I being true-blue Celtic fans have been wearing out "Celtic Pride"). But I just read the worrisome interview on MTV News in which you say that your upcoming Adam Sandler movie "Funny...

Schwartzman on NBC?
I have an inherent fondness for cheesy sitcoms. You know the kind they don't really make anymore with over-the-top laugh tracks, multiple cameras and cheesy premises (like a foreign raised man moving to Chicago to live with his long-lost American cousin). So naturally this video cracked me up. Below is a clip from an upcoming NBC sitcom titled "Yo Teach!" starring Jason Schwartzman. Except it's not an actual NBC sitcom and that's not quite Jason Schwartzman. It's a brilliant piece of...

Judd Apatow And Adam Sandler's Movie About Morality
nytimes.com : ASSUMING Judd Apatow doesn't change his mind, and he often does, his new movie, "Funny People," will begin with a scene of Adam Sandler as no paying audience has ever seen him. In grainy video a boyishly goofy Mr. Sandler, still in his 20s with a tilted baseball cap on his head, is shown as he lies across a messy bed in a dingy Los Angeles apartment, making prank phone calls to the delight of a few off-screen observers.

Summer Movies: Funnymen With Serious Ambitions
ASSUMING Judd Apatow doesn’t change his mind, and he often does, his new movie, “Funny People,” will begin with a scene of Adam Sandler as no paying audience has ever seen him. In grainy video a boyishly goofy Mr. Sandler, still in his 20s with a tilted baseball cap on his head, is shown as he lies across a messy bed in a dingy Los Angeles apartment, making prank phone calls to the delight of a few off-screen observers. In the context of the movie (set for release on...

Schwartzman in Pilgrim
There has been a lot of speculation on whether Jason Schwartzman is in fact starring in SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD . It started when a press release for the upcoming Universal comedy THE ADVENTURER'S HANDBOOK was released and claimed that Schwartzman's next film was SCOTT PILGRIM. That was quickly redacted though leading many to wonder whether it was a simple typo or accidentally leaked by Schwartzman's reps. Additional rumors were spreading that Schwartzman was playing the secret 7th...

Brooke Hogan Sings About As Well As Scarlett Johansson
After getting to finally preview Brooke Hogan’s newest album cover the other night, I’ve just been dying to hear some of the music from this masterpiece. My wait is over. In the spirit of friendship, I strongly caution you to listen to the intelligently named “Hey Yo” on an empty stomach.

Seth Rogen - Trailer - Showtimes - Cast - Movies & TV - NYTimes.com
From All Movie Guide: Canadian-born actor Seth Rogen tapped into his skills as a comedian when he was only 13, signing up for comedy classes and honing his deadpan style. He tooled around as an amateur for a few years but eventually took his act down south, hoping to find success as an actor and standup comedian in the U.S. He was soon discovered by Judd Apatow and was cast in his short-lived series Freaks and Geeks. After its cancellation, Apatow cast Rogen in his next series,...

Adam Sandler - Trailer - Showtimes - Cast - Movies & TV - NYTimes.com
From All Movie Guide: One of the most endearing goofballs to ever grace the stages of Saturday Night Live, affectionately offensive funnyman Adam Sandler has often been cited as the writer/performer who almost single-handedly rescued the long-running late-night television staple when the chips were down and it appeared to have run its course. Though his polarizing antics have divided audiences and critics who often dismiss him as lowbrow and obnoxious, Sandler 's films, as well as the films...

Knocked Up - Trailer - Cast - Showtimes - NYTimes.com
It may be a bit, um, premature to say so, but Judd Apatow’s “Knocked Up” strikes me as an instant classic, a comedy that captures the sexual confusion and moral ambivalence of our moment without straining, pandering or preaching. Like “The 40-Year-Old Virgin,” Mr. Apatow’s earlier film, it attaches dirty humor to a basically upright premise. While this movie’s barrage of gynecology-inspired jokes would have driven the prudes at the old Hays Office mad, its story, about a young man...

The 40-Year-Old Virgin - Trailer - Cast - Showtimes - NYTimes.com
Sex has become so desacralized, it seems hard to believe that anyone, especially an apparently healthy man, has managed to avoid getting some with someone, somewhere, at some point. But such is the case with Andy Stitzer, the title character played by Steve Carell in the charmingly bent comedy "The 40-Year-Old Virgin." A loner geek by circumstance rather than conviction, this accidental virgin works in an electronics store with the usual bunch of genial misfits. The rest of the time, he tends to...

Role Models - Trailer - Cast - Showtimes - NYTimes.com
Judd Apatow neither wrote nor directed “Role Models,” the newest entry in the increasingly worn-out “boys will be babies until they are forced to grow up” school of arrested-development comedies. But he might as well have. Directed by David Wain (“Wet Hot American Summer”), it follows the silly misadventures of two flailing Peter Pans who are forced to do community service to avoid jail time.

Movie Review - Step Brothers - Once More to the Well of Goofball Comedy - NYTimes.com
“Step Brothers,” which was produced by Judd Apatow and his and Will Ferrell ’s manager, Jimmy Miller, is nowhere near as good, funny or polished as “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby,” the Nascar spoof directed by Adam McKay, which was also produced by Mr. Apatow and Mr. Miller. In that movie, Mr. Ferrell and John C. Reilly play best, not terribly bright, friends. Here, again directed by Mr. McKay, they play not terribly bright slackers turned brothers turned...

Movie Review - Bride Wars - Two Weddings and a Furor - NYTimes.com
Do Hollywood studio executives think that women have a gene for tulle? Neural receptors just for Vera Wang? I wondered this as I was watching “Bride Wars,” a dopey if largely painless romantic comedy with Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway as best friends forever who turn into best enemies forever because of a wedding day glitch. Since childhood, the two have dreamed of getting Married at the Plaza (alas, not to each other), a reverie that turns into a manufactured nightmare when their...

Judd Apatow’s “Funny People” Trailer
Talk about a star-studded cast — Adam Sandler, Seth Rogan, Eric Bana, Jonah Hill, Jason Schwartzman, and Leslie Mann. Judd Apatow’s newest film, Funny People, looks like it’s going to be a great summer movie. It’s about a comedian that believes he is dying… then finds out he is not, so he sets out on a mission to get “the one that got away.” The trailer really tells the story well so I can’t wait to see the film. It’s due out July 31st of...
