Matthew Broderick

DVDs out today:

Bedtime Stories - This movie was actually very cute and I would recommend it highly for a good family night or something. Some of Adam Sandler's movies are dumb, but he has his fair share of good stuff.

The Day the Earth Stood Still - I have to admit, this movie was a little dumb. The special effects, John Cleese, and Mini Will Smith (Jaden) make it worthwhile. The special effects were pretty freaking sweet. And Keanu was right at home in a role with no physical displays of emotion.

Doubt - I don't care for Philip Seymour Hoffman or political/conspiracy dramas. So that's a big negatory.

The Tale of Despereaux - This movie was cute as well and that little CGI mouse was beyond adorable.

Yes Man - Classic Jim Carrey movie with a new bunch of up-to-date actors (Zooey Deschanel, Bradley Cooper, and Danny Masterson). I liked it. I liked it a lot.

Goodies? Goodies?....Goodies?

Underrated movie of the post: Stepford Wives. I absolutely love this movie. It is beyond hilarious with a lovely twist at the end to give the audience that "ah ha!" moment. It's a good time all around.

Movies to see: Bedtime Stories, The Tale of Despereaux, Yes Man, The Day the Earth Stood Still, and Stepford Wives.

I didn't have a trailer for Matthew Broderick, but I do have a synopsis for an Indie film that he is going to be in. It sounds pretty dang interesting.

Wonderful World - Ben Singer (Matthew Broderick) is a failed children's folk singer, a career proofreader, a compulsive marijuana smoker, and a less-than-extraordinary weekend dad. He's also the most negative man alive. Floundering in all aspects of his life, Ben's only comfort comes from regular chess games and friendly debates on game theory with his Senegalese roommate Ibou. When Ibou is suddenly struck ill, and an insensitive municipal employee exacerbates the emergency situation, Ben's pessimistic worldview seems unequivocally confirmed. His only recourse is to pour his energies into a frivolous lawsuit against the city for depraved indifference. But Ben soon finds that cynicism may be all a matter of perspective. (Imdb.com)

And because I'm sure you're upset at the prospect of no Trailer of the post, I give you...

Trailer of the post: The Hangover. This looks awesome. It has a kind of a Dude, Where's My Car mixed with Wedding Crashers feel. Plus Bradley Cooper and Justin Bartha!
