Aliens In The Attic – Blu-ray

6 November 2009 6:20 PM, PST | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »

Aliens In The Attic (Blu-ray)

Directed by: John Schultz

Cast: Carter Jenkins, Austin Robert Butler, Ashley Tisdale, Robert Hoffman, Kevin Nealon, Doris Roberts, Andy Richter

Running Time: 1 hr 28 mins

Rating: PG

Due Out: November 3, 2009

Plot: A quartet of heavily-armed extra-terrestrials come to Earth to retrieve a previously abandoned doomsday machine. Who can stop them? Kids!

Who’s It For? This is the fluffiest and family-friendliest presentation of a possible alien takeover in eons. The tiny green aliens are scary more than ugly, and the overall violence in the film is for the most part slapstick. My dog would probably scamper down to the basement after a couple of loud crashes, but she has always been a wuss.

Movie:

Aliens In The Attic is a movie of shenanigans from start to finish. Before the title becomes relevant, the kids are partaking in rebellious activity, like giving the online school grades the ol’ two letter grade bump, »

[DVD Review] Treasury of 100 Storybook Classics

30 October 2009 7:36 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »

Curious George. Harold and the Purple Crayon. Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel. Classics each and every one. Call it a babysitter in a box or call it a great tool for educating your children, either way what we have on our hands here is 19 hours of story books new and old converted to a digital medium. Some of these genuinely are treasures reincarnated in an animated medium while others are newer stories that have yet to prove their heirloom mettle. However, your average tot won’t care as much about the legacy of a given story as they will about the presentation. A majority of the stories found on these 16 discs have received the full animation treatment from the humble illustration origins, but there are a few in the collection which are little more than scans of the pages being panned over by the camera.

The Name Game: Down With Nouns

30 October 2009 1:00 PM, PDT | People - CelebrityBabies | See recent People - CelebrityBabies news »

Thinking outside the box when it comes to naming babies goes part and parcel with being a celebrity, and in their search to come up with the perfect moniker some have clearly pushed that envelope more than others. According to nameberry.com co-founder Linda Rosenkrantz, word names are an increasingly popular way to do just that.

“When looking for a really unusual baby name, many celebrities have started to search the dictionary for a noun or adjective that will define their child, choosing words that have rarely, if ever been used before as people-names,” she explains.

“Some of them seek »

Oprah's real time with Christian Siriano and Adam Lambert

29 October 2009 6:02 PM, PDT | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »

If things don't work out for Project Runway winner Christian Siriano in the fashion biz, he might want to consider a full-time gig as a talk show diva. As the number one guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show today, Christian was fierce, fun and oh-so-comfy that at times I thought Ms. O had her own little Ed McMahon or Andy Richter... but with a lot more style.

Oprah devoted the show to reality TV and the big get was Adam Lambert, the runner up in last season's American Idol. You wouldn't have guessed he was second place based on the assertion by Oprah that he was the top choice of her viewers when asked which reality star they wanted to see on her show.

I know I'm cynical, but I think it was planned. Adam's album is coming out on November 23 and there's already been lots of buzz, including the CD cover. »

What You Missed Last Night: Garry Shandling "helps" Paula Deen

28 October 2009 12:36 PM, PDT | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »

Whenever a celebrity cook appears on a talk show like The Late Show or The Tonight Show, it's hardly ever a real cooking demonstration. Letterman will start drinking cooking sherry right out of the bottle or Conan will just go nuts and spread butter all over something he shouldn't.

Last night was particularly crazy, as Conan, Garry Shandling, and Andy Richter helped Paula Deen make... something for Halloween. It gets kinda hectic so I'm not sure what it was.

Andy Richter Says Parents Shouldn’t Be Cool

27 October 2009 3:00 PM, PDT | People - CelebrityBabies | See recent People - CelebrityBabies news »

Entertainment Press/Splash News Online

Funnyman Andy Richter says that his two children William Oscar, 8 ½, and Mercy Josephine, 4, have well-developed senses of humor — but what’s comedy to them isn’t comedy to most adults!

“All you have to do to make them laugh is throw pee and poop into the conversation or make fart noises,” Andy tells Babble. “They love that.”

“When my son started to get to the age of liking jokes, every one we would make involved pee or poop or farting. We thought, ‘Oh my God, we’ve raised a frat-house monster.’ Then we took a »

Amy Poehler grabs the mic and sings for her cartoon’s music video

26 October 2009 1:33 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

When you think of Amy Poehler, your mind could veer off into 10 different directions: the star of NBC’s Parks and Recreation, Weekend Update anchor, SNL’s Hillary Clinton impersonator, the baby mama from Baby Mama, etc. Well, if you haven’t already, you should add one more to that list: Bessie Higgenbottom, a senselessly energetic 10-year-old intent on earning every badge in Honeybee Scout history. For over a year Poehler has given her voice to Bessie (complete with a Sylvester the Cat-styled lisp) on Nickelodeon’s The Mighty B!, a cartoon show she co-created with friends Cynthia True and »

DVD Playhouse--October 2009

DVD Playhouse—October 2009

By

Allen Gardner

The Wizard Of Oz 70th Anniversary Ultimate Collector’S Edition (Warner Bros.) A true highlight in digital restoration technology, Warner Bros. restoration of the 1939 classic is cause for celebration. The Technicolor of the late ‘30s looks as though it was shot yesterday, and is especially stunning on Blu-ray, which was produced by scanning each of the film’s original Technicolor camera negatives using 8K resolution. From this scan, a final “capture” master was created in 4K, yielding twice the resolution seen in the master utilized for the film’s previous DVD release. Judy Garland’s Dorothy is charming as ever, and the entire cast: Ray Bolger, Bert Lahr, Jack Haley and Margaret Hamilton as the Wicked Witch, are all stellar. Four disc set bonuses include: Sing-along track; Documentaries and featurettes; Two 1914 silent films produced by Oz author L. Frank Baum, based on his stories »

Conan and His "Pounded Pumpkin" Return to Tonight

29 September 2009 7:20 AM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »

Blame Teri Hatcher. Or the floor-buffing guy. Either way, viewers got a video replay and firsthand account of the Tonight Show bit that bit back at Conan O'Brien Friday, causing the host to cancel the taping midway through and take up an afternoon residency at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. "I've been bombarded with emails and calls and people wondering just what the hell happened on Friday," O'Brien said. "When you smack your head on cement, it tends to elicit that kind of interest," cohort Andy Richter replied. The injury—which briefly rendered O'Brien's otherwise razor-sharp verbal abilities slurred and the entire incident, in his mind,... »

Scenes We Love: Pootie Tang

23 September 2009 7:19 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

Pootie Tang, the hallucinatory story of a "musician/actor/folk hero of the ghetto" who literally speaks his own language, is like a secret handshake among a certain subset of film nerd. Yes, possibly the stoner kind, but not necessarily - it's just one of those movies where maybe you're out for a drink with someone you don't know that well and you drop a Pootie-ism ("I'm gonna sine your pitty on da runny kine!" or even a simple "Sadatay!") and the other person is like, "You like Pootie Tang? I love Pootie Tang!" And suddenly you've bonded as deeply as if you just found out you were born at the same hospital. Pootie Tang, which was written and directed by Louis C.K. (whose writing for "The Chris Rock Show" and "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" earned him several Emmy nominations and who is also in The Invention of Lying »

Andy Richter Controls Wolf Blitzer’s Universe

19 September 2009 5:23 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »

You might not know it by looking at him, but beneath Andy Richter’s suave exterior is concealed an intellectual, erudite mind worth $68,000. This is the mind of a man who beat Smartest Person in the World Wolf Blitzer (SPitWWB) and an impressive showing by Desperate Housewives star Dana Delany in front of a national audience on Celebrity Jeopardy. Sure, the questions were softballs, but Andy Richter trumped SPitWWB on geography, history, and literature. God bless Wolf, he works with what he has. At one point he was at -$4,600 before they politely put him back in the green so that he could participate in final Jeopardy. The Tonight Show chronicled Andy’s exploits behind the scenes in practice. The aired episode can be seen below. »

Adventures in 'Celebrity Jeopardy': What is, Get a clue, Wolf Blizter?

18 September 2009 11:45 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Andy Richter killed on Celebrity Jeopardy, but uh, Wolf Blitzer? Wolf Blitzer did not kill at all. He misidentified a picture of a bowl of pasta as fettuccine (it was mostaccioli, which looks really really different), said "Julia Childs" instead of Julia Child, and then things took a turn for the even-worse. In the E Times 3 category -- where all the words have three Es -- Wolf had a few choice answers: Answer: King David and Jesus both hailed from this town. Wolf: What is Jerusalem? ("O little town of Jerusalem..." Come on, dude.) Answer: An accused person in court, along with his counsel Wolf: What is a defendant? (One E too few, Wolf. Try defense.) Answer: Selected some material from a larger work Wolf: Annotated. (He didn't even have the "what is" in there. And that's not what annotated means, and it only has one E. So, three-fer. »

Gone Too Soon: Andy Richter Controls the Universe

7 September 2009 9:03 AM, PDT | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »

When Andy Richter left Late Night With Conan O'Brien to establish his own career in acting, nobody knew that he'd come full circle and rejoin O'Brien years later. At the same time, nobody knew that creator Victor Fresco would do much the same thing.

Andy Richter Controls the Universe was one of those quirky shows that most people, who enjoy a dash of nonsense in their comedy, really dug. It was a very playful show about a guy working in a massive company. It featured a small ensemble with great chemistry on-screen, and had a unique look at big corporations.

A few years later, Fresco tapped that well again, and we got Better Off Ted, another comedy with absurdist tendencies set in a massive corporation with a small cast. Like Andy, it eked out a second season based more on critical acclaim than ratings. As someone who enjoys both shows, »

DVD cover art and release date for Andy Barker, P.I.

30 August 2009 12:10 PM, PDT | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »

I love Andy Richter, but he seems awfully stiff every time I watch him on The Tonight Show. I prefer to remember the guy from his early days on Late Night, his short-lived show Andy Richter Controls the Universe, and his other short-lived show, the hilarious Andy Barker, P.I.

Like Danny reported back in May, Andy Barker, P.I. is finally coming to DVD. Shout! Factory will release the entire series on Nov. 17. The two-disc set will include all six episodes, some with commentary by Richter and producer Conan O'Brien, plus a retrospective feature and a doc about the show's amazing writers, including Jonathan Groff (How I Met Your Mother), Josh Bycel (Psych), and Jane Espenson (Buffy, BSG).

'Conan': Now that's what I call product placement!

14 August 2009 10:01 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

The first half hour of Thursday's Tonight Show included so many ridiculous things I had no idea I really wanted to see...until they happened. First, this brilliant and accurate infographic depicting the rise -- and steady engorgement -- of Former President Bill Clinton's media approval. Then, bears! A bear was just chilling in the audience. But not the L.A. suburbs' loose bear! Nah, just a "Different Bear." I died, then revived in time for Conan to use the old "we have such a huge studio now!" excuse as a reason to shill for Domino's Pizza with an ingenious 40-employee domino effect. I'm seriously impressed with the employees' ability to stay in formation for a few whole minutes as Conan and Andy Richter giggled/munched their way through the rest of the segment. That's tough! Clearly, my standards re: greatness have issues today. I'm choosing to apply a »

Ashley Tisdale Faces Aliens, Funny Co-Stars In New Movie

30 July 2009 1:49 AM, PDT | MTV Movie News | See recent MTV Movie News news »

'Aliens in the Attic' star couldn't keep a straight face around Robert Hoffman, Andy Richter.

It's a long way from singing and dancing in a "High School Musical" (or three) to fending off creatures from outer space and a creepy boyfriend. But Ashley Tisdale was ready to take that leap and star in "Aliens in the Attic," which hits theaters this week, days after the release of her new album, Guilty Pleasure earlier this week.

"Bethany is really just the typical teenager," she told MTV News about her character in the flick that she describes as "The Goonies" meets "Home Alone." "She is someone who is just in love with her boyfriend Ricky and doesn't really see him for who he is. She doesn't really know what his intentions are. »
