Trailer Park: Brooklyn's Finest on a Crazy Man's Chest

5 December 2009 11:03 AM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

Brooklyn's Finest

Three cops, each trying to get through the day. Richard Gere plays a veteran of the force just days from retirement, Don Cheadle has been working deep undercover for a long time and Ethan Hawke is a husband and father of seven desperate to provide for his family. I'm not sure I buy Gere as uniform cop at his age, and I kept expecting him to say "I'm too old for this sh*t!" Watch for this one on January 16.

Crazy on the Outside

Tim Allen plays a recently released convict who has spent three years in the big house, though his mother thinks he was in France, and now he needs to get his life back on track. The premise sounds pretty simple, but there are some laughs here and an interesting cast including Sigourney Weaver, Ray Liotta and Kelsey Grammer.

Crazy On the Outside Movie Trailer; Tim Allen’s Directorial Debut

2 December 2009 1:03 AM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »

Tim Allen must have a lot of friends in Hollywood. Otherwise, I have no idea how he could convince so many great actors to show up in his atrocious looking directorial debut, Crazy on the Outside. Allen stars as a man who spent three years in jail, and is now out trying to reconnect with his family and piece his life back together. Truly, the plot is a work of sheer originality. The film is written by writing team Judd Pillot and John Peaslee, who've both worked together on sitcoms like According to Jim and 8 Simple Rules. The film's cast also includes Sigourney Weaver, J.K. Simmons, Ray Liotta, Kelsey Grammer, and Julie Bowen. Again, I have no idea what they're doing in this thing. Just watch the trailer already (if you're brave, check out the HD version over at Yahoo): It's not as if I hate Tim Allen either. »

Crazy On The Outside Trailer Gets Tim Allen Out Of Prison

1 December 2009 4:01 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

Tim Allen needs a good movie. Yes, he.s got Toy Story 3 coming out, which I.d like to bet will be nothing short of spectacular, but he can.t hide behind Buzz Lightyear forever. It.s hard to think of Allen without recalling such travesties as Christmas with the Kranks, The Santa Clause 3 or Wild Hogs. Crazy on the Outside doesn.t look like Allen.s get-out-of-jail-free card, but it could have potential. Coincidently, Allen stars as guy who is finally set free after three years in prison. (In case you didn.t know, Allen spent 28 months in prison after being arresting for possession of over a pound of cocaine.) His sister (Sigourney Weaver) took the liberty of sparing his reputation and telling their mother he.s been in France. Meanwhile, his old partner (Ray Liotta) returns and tries to entice him into some shady business. Then there »

Don't Watch: Tim Allen Directed Crazy on the Outside Trailer

1 December 2009 2:57 PM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

Why am I featuring a trailer for a movie that looks this bad? Well, there's one reason, and one reason alone. Crazy on the Outside is the directorial debut of Tim Allen. Yes, Tim "The Toolman" Taylor both directed and stars in this absolutely atrocious comedy that doesn't even deserve to be seen on the big screen. The sad thing is that this actually has a good cast, including Sigourney Weaver, Ray Liotta, J.K. Simmons, Kelsey Grammer, and the still-kind-of-attractive Jeanne Tripplehorn. But it's probably the worst looking comedy that I've seen a trailer for in a while. Or so I think. Watch this if you wish, but don't say I didn't warn you!

Galaxy Quest Blu-ray Review

24 November 2009 9:30 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

When you talk about the year of cinema that was 1999, there are the films that come immediately. Fight Club, The Sixth Sense, The Matrix, Eyes Wide Shut. I love The Insider, have a soft spot for eXistenZ and Three Kings and then it starts getting complicated, as films like American Beauty, Girls Don’t Cry, and The Green Mile haven’t exactly weathered as well, while films like Office Space have only grown in estimation.  At the time, most wouldn’t have listed Galaxy Quest as one of the great films of 1999, and yet ten years later, someone like David Mamet can call it a perfect movie. And it is. By Grabthar’s Hammer, my review of Galaxy Quest after the jump.

The premise is simple: what if aliens watched Star Trek and thought it was real? Tim Allen plays Jason Nesmith who plays Peter Quincy Taggart, the Kirk character »
