Fun fact, the very first cease and desist order I ever received was for sharing a trailer to James Franco’s Zeroville a few years ago. The film premiered in 2015 at the Toronto International Film Festival but has been lost in distribution hell ever since thanks to financial troubles. But it’s finally going to see the light of day later this year. Unless something else goes wrong. Which, given the film’s track record, it probably will.

'Sausage Party' (2016) Movie Review
Initially, I wasn’t sure how much I was going to enjoy
Sausage Party, the animation-for-adults feature from the
minds of Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, the team behind the likes of
Superbad, This is the End, and similarly
foul-mouthed comedies.

'Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising' (2016) Movie Review
Back in 2014, Neighbors became a hit and
marked, if not a maturation of Seth Rogen and his foul-mouthed comedy style, at
least a shift towards more mature thematic concerns, particularly those of
fatherhood and marriage. Produced for a modest sum, and with a worldwide box
office haul of more than $270 million, it’s two years later and the no-brainer
sequel is here to strengthen Rogen’s dad brand.

Movie Review: 'The Night Before' Is A Raucous New Holiday Classic
If traditional Christmas fare like Miracle on 34th
Street and It’s a Wonderful Life are, well, a bit
too traditional for your tastes—by that I mean there’s little to no hard drug
use, few if any curse words, and absolutely no close up images of genitals—then
2015 is your lucky year. This holiday season we have director Jonathan Levine’s
The Night Before, and it is crude, crass, sweeter than you
may expect, and, most importantly, really goddamn funny.

The First Trailer For AMC's 'Preacher' Is Here
Adapting anything, much less a cult favorite comic book
like, say, Garth Ennis’ infamously blasphemous Preacher, is
difficult enough. When bringing a violent, explicative and sex laden, and sacrilegious
text to life, it’s even harder on TV and the restrictions of that medium. But
that’s exactly what the creative team of Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg are doing
at AMC, and the first trailer is here.

'The Interview' Movie Review: Fun But Will Be Remembered For Reasons Other Than The Movie
If you’re a fan of the humor in movies like This is the End and Pineapple Express, you’ll enjoy the
Seth Rogen and James Franco-starring The Interview. If not,
you probably won’t find much to your liking. It’s a film full of that broad,
crass, bro-style humor that these guys are most known for, and it’s fun, with a
ballsy hook, but it’s nothing earth shattering, and is only going to be
remembered as the movie that pissed off a petulant little dictator and got Sony
hacked all to hell.

'Neighbors' Movie Review
“Neighbors” is the big, raunchy, R-rated comedy you were
hoping for this summer. Seth McFarlane’s “How to Die in the West” may challenge
for that crown, but it has an uphill battle, because Nicholas Stoller’s latest
film is a total, uproarious blast. Delightfully foul—like a dildo fighting,
baby chewing on a used condom filthy—this is better written than you expect out
of this kind of movie, and really better than it has any right to be. Normally,
comparing a movie to a classic is a sure sign that it is nowhere near as good
as the benchmark, but you can’t help but imagine that “Neighbors” is going to
get called this generation’s “Animal House.” And it very well might be. If
nothing else, it will make you laugh your ass off from beginning to end.
