By Paul Hatfield It was shades of “Point, Counterpoint” from SNL, one of the classic comedy routines from the golden age of the show with Jane Curtain and Dan Aykroyd trading barbs over politics. The routine itself was a spoof of a popular 60 Minutes segment pitting opposing, unyielding pundits... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more!...
Since both Dan Aykroyd and co-writer D.V. DeVincentis have both been my mentioned in my last two posts, my mind naturally went to this low-key rom-com cum black action comedy from 1997. This very nice bit of business features Mr. Aykroyd and John Cusack as two colleagues in the assassination biz with less than collegial [...]
Sometimes a news story falls through the cracks and, since I don’t have Lewis Black working for me, they just kind of stay there until someone points them out. In this case, the fine cinephile blogger Peter Nellhaus of the well-named Coffee, Coffee and More Coffee alerted me via Facebook that I’d missed this item [...]
Fun enough to raise the dead'. Even though much of the pre-release hype surrounding this game has focussed on other systems, that shouldn’t obscure the fact that Ghostbusters on the Wii is a very good game, worthy of as much coverage as the hi-def versions. Ghostbusters is a very different game to both the DS effort [...]
Entertainment Weekly has uncovered the supposed casting for the upcoming live-action/hybrid adventure that will bring the lovable picnic basket thief Yogi Bear to the big screen.
He’s smarter than the average bear, partial to the odd pic-a-nic basket and pals with Boo Boo, and pretty soon he’s going to a film star too. That’s right, prepare yourself for Yogi Bear: The Movie, a fusion of live action and CGI, that, if Warner Bros. get their way, will see Dan Aykroyd voicing [...]

Another "re-working" of a classic! Warner Brothers is making a live action/CG-animated film of the "Yogi Bear" cartoon. Anna Faris, Dan Aykroyd and Justin Timberlake will be lending their talents to the groundbreaking film. Yawn. Seriously, Hollywood?! It's getting so pathetic now that nearly EVERY movie coming out is based on something old whether it's a cartoon, [...]
Since he first stepped into the solo spotlight, Justin Timberlake has been Hollywood's prince in waiting, just one perfect role away from claiming his crown as the biggest star in the world forever....
Creating a satire on your own culture is a doubled-bladed dagger. Satirists seldom become lionized or praised for their efforts as pointing out failures and dangers and the ridiculous presence of deluded emperors wearing invisible clothes tends to invoke more embarrassment than wisdom or appreciation. Sometimes greatness is achieved - most readers and critics still applaud Joseph Heller's "Catch-22"...
¶ IGN has revealed a set of four posters for KICK-ASS. WARNING: the poster descriptions contain spoilers aplenty. ¶ Some kind of horrible live/CGI mutant version of YOGI BEAR is being planned, and Dan Aykroyd is believed to be voicing Yogi, while Justin Timberlake may be Boo Boo. Somehow, we just can’t wrap our [...]
Live action/CG family comedies for everyone!

However, as further proof of the concept, a live-action/CGI Yogi Bear movie is in the works based on the Hanna-Barbera cartoon from way back when. Dan Aykroyd will be lending his voice for Yogi and Justin Timberlake will be the voice of Boo Boo. Did anyone else just feel a cold shiver down their spine? Anna Faris will also...
