Emma Thompson to Write ANNIE Remake
It?s been a few months since we last heard about the Annie remake, developed by Will Smith as a starring vehicle for daughter Willow. At the time, Glee creator Ryan Murphy was mentioned as the frontrunner to direct. Smith and co-producer Jay-Z probably missed the chance to squeeze the shoot into the Glee spring/summer production hiatus between season two and three. To do so they would have needed a script. On that front, Vulture hears Smith and Jay-Z are in negotiations Oscar-winning screenwriter Emma Thompson to write the musical. Presumably, the topic came up as Smith and Thompson shared a break on the set of Men in Black III.

Review: ‘Bad Teacher’ Only Deserves A Mildly Passable Grade > The Playlist

It’s also sadly missing that added dimension that made “Bridesmaids” so special and essential – a willingness to investigate the real life, occasionally quite sticky aspects of female friendship. “Bad Teacher” is more straightforwardly cartoonish, but it’s often times almost as funny. We’re not sure how it will be interpreted in the context of the current discussion of women in comedy, but if you’re looking for some decent laughs to unwind your brain, “Bad Teacher” will deliver in that respect. However, if you’re looking for something with more meat around its bones, the picture tends to feel like a half-hearted and hurriedly written term-paper that you can only marginally endorse. [B-]

Bad Teacher: Movie Review

Though the film doesn’t sizzle or reinvent the wheel, it’s still consistently funny. That’s really all a comedy needs to be, and this works, though it feels like there’s a slightly better movie in the material. But director Jake Kasdan knows how to make watchable films, and much like his Walk Hard (which is often more conceptually funny than something that makes you laugh out loud), the replay factor on this one looks high.

Looks like this one might be good for the discount theater.

It's got a hell of a cast...

I'll be stunned if this doesn't join the list of awful stupid movies that people like you and jersey automatically love because of it's cast and subject matter.

I ****ing hate this movie already.

Well... I agree with your beef about the Urkel thing. It's way overused, but that doesn't mean this won't still be funny. Comedy doesn't necessarily need a plot to be funny. I expect it to be a good time, but not much more.
 
REVIEW: Cameron Diaz Slinks to the Head of the Class in Bad Teacher | Movieline

Bad Teacher is hardly a perfect picture, but in the context of every other comedy on the summer movie landscape — from the faux empowerment of Bridesmaids to the neurotic frat-guy heteromania of The Hangover Part II — it feels revolutionary. When Diaz’s Elizabeth Halsey, an unapologetic bad apple, slinks into her seventh-grade classroom in black leggings and five-inch Loubs, her bloodshot eyes hidden behind black Ray-Bans, she’s not anyone we aspire to be, or even anyone we’d want to be friends with. She frees us from the tyranny of relatability: She’s a flagrant, unrepentant fictional character, perhaps the scariest thing a woman in a modern movie can be.

True... but aren't you tired of Steve Carrell/Zach Galifinakis/Paul Rudd being trotted out to play the doe eyed idiot savant for maximum sympathy?

Enough already.

Whoa there pilgrim...I like Steve Coogan...that's about it. Rudd is ok in small parts and when he isn't playing the same-ish kind of part. But don't lump me in on this one. I hate Zooey. Elizabeth Banks never hurt anyone and Rashida Jones don't make me turn away, but do i think this is a hell of a cast? Nope. And I think this looks like an oversimplified version of Being There, which was a usage of the Urkel character that I think even you can agree was good. I think the man-child thing can be enjoyable(Forrest Gump still tugs at my heartstrings) but Galifinakis/Carell do nothing for me. You forget, my biggest problem is I love the Pirates movies. I'm not the one who likes these quirky romcoms. Sheesh, you think someone knows you...

Yea I actually had left you out of that but then went back and added you... not sure why.

My apologies.

BUT I've had an assfull of Elizabeth Banks. She's not hot enough to justify the fact that she's not interesting enough to be in all these movies. She's like a 6 playing in a sandbox with no girls so she gets automatically upgraded to an 8. I'm done pretending.

Rashida Jones.... meh..... I'm a few seasons behind on Parks and Recreation so the only thing I have to go on is The Office and I Love You Man.


Oh and Forrest Gump doesn't count because unlike the rest of these obnoxious charactes HE WAS ACTUALLY COMPLETELY AWARE AND SOMEWHAT CONCERNED ABOUT HIS CONDITION!!! Unlike "The Urkel" who gets the end of the flick speech about "well at least I'm a nice person" where the audience and the mean old protagonist learns a lesson about life and love and I puke with rage and start looking for puppies to kick.

Thanks for admitting. :target:
See, I actually like Banks for the same reasons you point out. She has a very likeable quality about her maybe because she isn't stunning. She comes off very well as a regular gal.
And, I may have read it wrong, but do you LIKE Gump?

Liking it isn't the issue.

The point is he doesn't fit "The Urkel" mold for two very important reasons.

1. Complete self awareness.

2. He doesn't threaten to ruin anyone's life.*


*Lieutenant Dan doesn't count.

I loved it when it came out.... but I was 16 years old.

I haven't actually watched it all the way through in years and years.

You should...while it's a simple concept it was made with a lot of care towards era-details and it's just so loveable like the cutest little lab puppy savaging a roll of really soft toilet paper.
 
Movie News After Dark: Attack the Block, Monty Python, Michael Bay and Green Lantern vs. Critics | Film School Rejects

Tonight in news that is strange but oh-so-wonderful, the Monty Python gang will be getting back together. All of them, even Graham Chapman, who died of cancer in 1989. According to the New York Times, Chapman recorded an audiobook before he died, chronicling his life and times with the Python gang. Now Terry Jones, Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin, John Cleese and (if he signs) Eric Idle will use those recordings for an animated film about Chapman?s life. My heart swells at the very notion.

Am I alone in thinking this is a tremendous idea and pretty much the only way a reunion would be worth it?
