The summer season has long been known for epic, big-budget films and broad animated comedies. But over the last few years, summer has become known for something else: The Judd Apatow Produced Comedy. Apatow has become a comedy commodity the likes that summer has never seen before. From the Will Ferrell comedies Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, Talladega Nights and Step Brothers, to his own comedy crew that has brought us Knocked Up, Superbad, Forgetting Sarah Marshall and last summer’s spin-off Get Him to the Greek, Apatow has been the king of summer comedies in recent memory. But Apatow has been known for producing comedies that mostly focus on the male mentality, but this weekend he changes that with the release of Bridesmaids. Directed by Paul Feig who has written for some of the past decades best TV shows, such as “Freaks and Geeks”, “Arrested Development”, “Mad Men” and “The Office”, and written by Kristen Wiig, Bridesmaids seems like it should be the formula for the summer’s first comedy hit. But before checking Bridesmaids out, check out some of these under-ranked films from the stars of Bridesmaids.

The first Iron Man was a lot of fun but this one fell into the common superhero movie sequel trap where there’s just too many people doing too many things to make a great, focused movie. Still pretty good though.

The most interesting DVD release of the week. Casey Affleck and Jessica Alba in a “controversial” movie about what happens when you embrace your dark side.

Jonah Hill and Russell Brand in a well received comedy. Something about Russell Brand is instantly off-putting to me. I think it’s his beard.

Very silly set-up (small group of friends trapped way up in the air on a ski lift for a few days while the park is closed) but it is winning a majority of its Flickchart battles…

I absolutely love these DC Comic animated movies. The more Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, and Justice League out, the better.

I’m very much intrigued by this one but my wife said “no” because she refuses to watch any movie that may slightly raise her pulse, so I’ll have to wait for DVD.

Get Him to the Greek – Trailer

Russell Brand and Jonah Hill had nice chemistry in their small bits in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, hopefully that translates to a full-length flick.

Save your money, invest it, or pay your bills. For the same price as an adult movie ticket, you could pay for a month of Netflix, rent M and actually watch a good movie…
Ditto.
