Jeremy Taylor — Wed, 06 Jun 2012 15:48:52 +0000

There seems to be concern surrounding the Adam Sandler/Andy Samberg comedy 'That's My Boy,' which hits theaters on June 15th. Chiefly that Sandler's recent films haven't been very good, and that his latest effort will be more 'Jack and Jill' than 'Happy Gilmore.'

Despite this negative buzz, we think the movie has potential, as it is usually fun to see Sandler go full man-child.

Watch the Lonely Island's New Video for 'We'll Kill U'

Alex Staub — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 03:15:55 +0000

The Lonely Island crew continue to push the limits of the gangster rap parody genre (there were limits, right?) with the video for 'We'll Kill U' from their new album 'Turtleneck and Chain'. The monotone, nameless characters from the skits 'Just 2 Guyz' and 'We Like Sportz' are back, and this time they have guns and ankle socks.
