This week’s edition of Kevin Smith’s Spoilers had the unfortunate task of reviewing The Watch. Surprisingly, many people were on the fence about this movie which has received some of the worst reviews all year; however, there were still many people perfectly willing to set the record straight. One of those people was Smith himself who definitely did not like the film, but he was nice about it by blaming his own high standards for the way he felt.
Beyond that, this week’s episode featured an interview with Total Recall director Len Wiseman who Kevin Smith worked with on Live Free or Die Hard. Many of you might recall that Smith filled the role of comic relief via his hacker character ‘The Warlock’ with many great lines including a reference to his mom’s basement as a ‘command center.’ Continue Reading
Apparently, the London Opening Ceremony (watched by a record-breaking 40 million viewers,) was the principal cause behind 
The box office is not exactly be flooded with summer dollars right now in light of current events (some analysts are suggesting 25% are too afraid to go to the theaters,) so we did not expect a massive second weekend for The Dark Knight Rises. I actually took the low-end in my estimates and figured $60+ million would be in the cards especially due to the Summer Olympics.
Ben Stiller’s new movie drops into theaters this week, thus his presence on the talk show circuit. The film is Akiva Schaffer’s The Watch which is getting pretty awful reviews, but this movie is still expected to do pretty well at the box office thanks in part to Vince Vaughn and Jonah Hill who serve as the actor’s co-stars. Also helping is the fact that it has been nearly a month since Ted hit theaters, creating somewhat of a summer comedy void. 
The reviews are starting to come online for Akiva Schaffer’s The Watch as the movie is set to hit theaters less than 24 hours from now. The R-rated comedy enlists Jonah Hill, Ben Stiller, and Vince Vaughn as a neighborhood watch group that stumbles upon an alien invasion–something that is not exactly brilliant, but nothing this all-star comedy trio cannot work around. Essentially, that is the problem though. They are expected to turn garbage into gold and the critics are saying that did not happen as the movie is really your classic clock-watcher. 
The Watch is set to hit theaters nationwide in two days’ time, and The Lonely Isle’s Akiva Schaffer is looking to boost the effort by releasing a rare outtakes trailer to drum of some buzz. It is actually worth the view for those of you on the fence because the lack of red-band promotional material strips this comedy of everything that supposedly makes it good.
Vince Vaughn’s Dodgeball reunion with Ben Stiller is finally set to arrive in theaters at week’s end. The Wedding Crashers star took to The Tonight Show couch on Monday evening to promote the R-rated comedy, and that brings us to today’s posting–his first late night talk show appearance for The Watch. The actor talked about a number things including his newborn baby, the Olympics, his TBS series Sullivan and Son, and the new movie.
Ben Stiller has been out doing press for The Watch this month. Last Friday he was 
This week has graced us with some fairly good news for fans of Nicholas Stoller. Not only is he set to return to adult comedy mode after his work on The Muppets and its upcoming sequel, but he is also headed back to Hawaii. The Forgetting Sarah Marshall director is gearing up to write Aloha for Ben Stiller and Jonah Hill–a team that will hit the big screen for the first time next week in Akiva Schaffer’s The Watch. 
Some classic Vince Vaughn took to Ellen this morning where he dished on being a telemarketer as a kid. 
Today featured the release of the red-band trailer for Neighborhood Watch, and with it came the news that Fox has responded to the George Zimmerman-Trayvon Martin tragedy by changing the movie’s title. The Akiva Schaffer-directed comedy is now called The Watch which might be best considering the alternative was to delay the release, missing the summer movie season.
