The Playlist:
There’s always been something insidious about the MPAA ratings system. It’s allowed filmmakers to more directly label films as if they were products off the supermarket shelf -- “The Dark Knight Rises” is going to be PG-13, because it’s about a character kids wear on their jammies. “American Pie” is going to be R-rated, because they’re going to talk about sex a whole lot. But sometimes, you wonder if the PG-13 and lower ratings are designed to rescue filmmakers from themselves, forcing them to find creative ways to tell certain stories without the benefits of explicit content. Unfortunately, that train of thought is absent from “The Campaign,” a proudly-vulgar idiot festival that wears it’s sophomoric R-rating on its sleeve, infusing a ripe satirical comedic idea with nonsensical foul content in lieu of character, story and comedic resonance.
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.
Pretty harsh but even though I don't listen to reviews this is one movie I was going to miss anyway. I love Zack Galifianakis but I can't stand Will Ferrell.
I completely disagree. I found this a very funny movie that didn't get too 'stupid'. It managed to keep the jokes centered around the story, and I thought it had a fairly positive message to it.
