May 22, 2013 By Simon Miraudo Todd Phillips’ ongoing experiment to populate his comedies with increasingly unlikable lead characters – to see if his fratboy fans will follow him down the rabbit hole and continue to wrong-headedly emulate them while jacking energy drinks, listening to Pitbull, and high-fiving – continues with The Hangover Part III.

March 13, 2013 0 Comments
The mildly anti-climactic first trailer for The Hangover Part III has been released, promising more of the same but now with added John Goodman. Despite offering very little in way of plot, the trailer does point towards a shift in the formula for this third and possibly last Hangover. There is no wedding and no […]

The Campaign – Starring Will Ferrell, Zach Galifianakis, and Dylan McDermott. Directed by Jay Roach. Rated MA. By Simon Miraudo. No one’s ever going to accuse a movie in which a character goes by the nickname of “ticklesh**s” of being particularly witty, but it takes a special kind of genius to deploy lowbrow humour in […]
