The latest issue of NOW is out, and I own that mother-humper — it’s the Summer Movie Preview, featuring interviews with two-thirds of the cast of “The Hangover Part II”:Â Zach Galifianakis is our cover boy, and Bradley Cooper has his back.
I also take a semi-comprehensive look at more than fifty films opening in the next three months — and yeah, I know, calling “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” a film is stretching things a little. And it’s not part of the cover package, but I also offer an overview of the impending Worldwide Short Film Festival, which had better be the last goddamn film festival I cover until TIFF.
Why, yes — I do believe I’ve earned a couple of days off, thank you very much.
If Cowboys and Aliens does well, maybe the inevitable next Pirates of the Caribbean movie can be improved by basing it on the board game (probably) coming out later this year…Pirates Vs. Dinosaurs. Both titles seem to have enormous nerd appeal. Next summer, I foresee Sharks vs. Ninjas.
I won’t be satisfied until someone makes “Jumanji vs. Zathura”. It practically writes itself!
