    Poor John C. Reilly. Bad timing.

        Haha, thanks louis but I think you have no worries.  Now if this switches to just talk about sports movies...

    Do you think the film-going public is Apatow'd out? Or that the creative well has run dry with this one? I watched the trailer and I'm feeling a bit of both - parodies only take you so far.

    National Treasure is the worst move ever created by man. Its sequel is about as good as horseradish pickles.

    They needed to do Walk hard a few years ago, before Ricky Bobby and Blades and all the other rash of Apatow and Apatow-esque movies...

     It'll be hard to out gross the other Apatow pics...

     And as much as I hate Nic Cage - save for Leaving Las Vegas - the new National Treasure will do well just because... it's Disney, it's family, it's big budget and it'll have at least one killer weekend.

    Sweeney Todd is great but go see Atonement. A beautiful movie with ending that will blow your mind!
