Skewed and Reviewed have posted round table interviews with with Russell Brand, Helen Mirren, Greta Gerwig, Jason Winer and Peter Baynham.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
I haven't liked Russel Brand's work so far, or at least not liked his roles in movies, but I have to admit I'm really interested in this based on the trailers. It's not that he's really different so much as reigned in by what looks like a good comedic script and director.
The trailers haven't had me very interested, but I will say that it looks much better than I expected. I think it will be worth a rental, but I'll need some better footage before committing to it in theaters.
I think Brand is in a no win situation here. No matter how good he is he will be compared to Dudley Moore and will likely come up lacking. If he sucks, then it will be a further indication how he does not stack up. He is trying to be a leading man here and prove he is not an ensemble actor but this is going to be tough as the original was an Academy Award winning classic and an iconic role for Moore.
Was Russel Brand in Forgetting Sarah Marshall?
I watched the original again last night and notices how annoying Arthur was when he was drunk but how kind and caring he was when he was sober. From the trailers, Brand is playing it more of over energized boy who does not want to grow up.
