MOVIE PREVIEW
The Stepfather

STARRING Penn Badgley, Dylan Walsh, Sela Ward
WRITTEN BY J.S. Cardone
DIRECTED BY Nelson McCormick

The original 1987 Stepfather — about a seemingly kind man who marries a vulnerable widow and then reveals himself to be a murderous psychopath — spawned two sequels, launched the career of future Lost star Terry O'Quinn, and then pretty much disappeared. Now, like a horror-movie baddie you were sure was dead, The Stepfather is back for more. This remake stars Gossip Girl's Penn Badgley as a teen who returns from military school to find that a suspicious new guy (Dylan Walsh) has moved in with his divorced mom (Sela Ward). ''Dylan looks so accessible and sincere and warm,'' says Ward. ''I guess Ted Bundy did too.'' Okay, now we're creeped out.

and i saw the pineapple express again last night, this time with victoria.

i'm sorry, but i absolutely love that movie...

and yeah, basically i still think that there's no point of angie in the movie at all, other than to have some girl in the movie, and i've decided that the first scene is totally and completely pointless, though i did realize that that place where they are in that scene is the place where they are later in the movie, too, but that's dumb and totally unnecessary, and i also think that the action/fight scenes are a little bit too long, especially that one in the barn, i mean they could have edited that to make it about a third of the length that it was and just had the funny parts in it, but whatever...so i was basically a lot more critical of the movie this time but it was still hilarious...and i was still the loudest person in the theater and it was a lot more awkward this time because it was a lot less crowded.

and i've decided that i'm officially in love with james franco...move over sasha pavlovic, a new man has my heart!!! no, i'm just kidding, sasha pavlovic still remains at the top of my list of love interests, but james franco has always been on the list, seriously he was on the future husbands list, first edition, grade 10, but he's definitely like in my top five now, because in this movie he just proved that not only is he incredibly sexy and smart and totally talented but he's also really fucking funny!!!!!!!! and i'm pretty much in love with his character, saul silver, because he's just so sweet and nice and cares so much about his bubbie, it's so cute!!!! but yeah, that movie's great.

ah, today, i'm just chilling....went to the mall, got a REALLY CUTE pink guess peacoat...totally excited!!!! and an adorable pine green cashmere sweater dress! i can't wait for fall weather now!!!!!

alright, well i'm going to go shower now...tata...

angie is a stupid character. why is she in the movie?

okay, so i just have to say that i'm on my pc for like the first time in forever and i feel so incredibly retro...ha, isn't that lame??? hahaha, anyway....

today i saw two movies. i've known i was going to see two movies today for a really long time. i've like...been planning this shit. anyway.

fuck. i have a mindsplitting headache right now. like it just happened. fuck. that hurts.

okaaaaay....anywaaaaaay, let's make this brief....

fuck, my stomach hurts, too....i don't know what i ate, but i definitely got some gluten, fuuuuuuck.

anywaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

first movie i saw was the sisterhood of the travelling pants 2. it was pretty good...not as good as the first one or anything...josie liked it, i saw it with her. i mean, it was cute, but the reviews were totally right when they said the editing is insanely choppy and bounces from story to story really quickly, because it totally does! and all the plot holes...aaaah, they were killing me...like WHAT HAPPENED TO LEO?!?!?!?!?! maybe i missed that part or something, but i didn't go to the bathroom at all during the movie so i don't know how i missed it. but there's definitely some yummies in there...did i seriously just say that??? forgive me, i'm tired as hell, but yeah, definitely some totally hot guys and beautiful scenery of course, but, i'm sorry to say, it's kind of lame...but if you're a fan of the books and liked the first one go see it, it's like a good there's-nothing-else-to-do-and-i'm-really-fucking-bored movie...yeah.

and now i just got back from seeing the pineapple express. FUNNIEST MOVIE EVER! okay, i don't know if it was the funniest movie everrrrrr, i mean i felt the same way when i walked out of (note: headache just disappeared, praise the Lord!) superbad, but it was pretty good...this is basically like the twentysomething version of superbad and the sex is replaced with pot....it's hilarious, go see it! seth rogen is so funny! there's a scene where he runs around without any pants on and he's wearing these crazy tube socks, i was laughing like a madman. and of course, james franco is SO HOT! i love him!!!! he's so adorable in this movie, with his a bit too tight pajama pants and shark shirt and scraggly hair and slow but smart sentences, omigosh i just want to give him a hug!!!!!! and the "fuck the po-lice!!!" part, that was fucking brilliant!!!!! and then there's this other guy, red, who's like the mclovin of this movie and he's fucking hilarious, too...and then there's this one guy with this crazy 80s wardrobe, and that dude's funny, too...yeah, um everyone is funny, the movie is just overall hilarious. i mean, there were some parts that were like wow this shit's fucking stupid, but over all it was really funny!!!! oh, but the one thing that really pissed me off was that there was never an explanation for happened to angie at the end. was there like a scene after the credits started that i missed or something? because it was a packed theater and we got out of there like right away because we were at the end of the row and you can't be like oh walk around me i'm sitting in my seat because there might be a scene at the end of the movie but there might not be, i'm just waiting because i'm a freak and i don't like plot holes, so then everyone else in your aisle waits, too, and then you're wrong and everyone's pissed they didn't get out of there earlier, so yeah, we left right away. but honestly, the character of angie didn't need to be in the movie at all, really. i mean, don't get me wrong, i love amber heard, but her character was like really unimportant and they never really did anything with it...i mean there was potential there to have some really funny shit go down, but that never happened. i guess it was funny that he was dating a high school girl and all and it allowed for the creepy guy from superbad to be the principal or teacher or whatever he was and it gave them some more stuff to talk about and another thing to worry about on their adventure, but she really wasn't in the movie that much at all, and that just kind of annoyed me, i thought there should have been some more scenes with her in it, like they could have done some really funny stuff, but whatever...i guess the moral of the story is drugs are bad...so uh yeah...but the movie actually kind of made me want to go smoke, and i don't do drugs at all! it just looked like so much damn fun! hell, i don't even know if weed is gluten-free, HAHAHAHA! i mean, i know cigarettes have wheat in them (they do, for serious...most of the do at least...it's in the glue) but, like, i just don't do that shit, like ever, so how would i know? (fyi, i just looked it up, because of course i would do that, and marijuana itself doesn't have gluten in it, because it's an herb not a grain, but it might be mixed with some other shit that has gluten or the paper that it's rolled in might) but the movie actually kind of made me want to, i mean not really, but just have those kind of fun times or something, hahahaha, this is getting so corny. i know that's lame, everyone walked out of that movie talking like a stoner...not even kidding, see the movie and it'll happen to you. but yeah, it was fun, so GO SEE IT!

oh, and i'd just like to say, that the poodle head and her guido boyfriend sitting next to me smelled terrible. when you use axe, you don't have to use the whole fucking bottle moron! they practically ruined the movie, with her little entrance after the movie had started ("scuse me girls!") and then her asking the people a few seats down to move so her and her lame ass friends didn't have to sit way up front, and then her boyfriend coming in FORTY MINUTES LATE smelling like ASS! but it was too good of a movie to ruin, so those people are just lucky, because if they had ruined my night, there'd be hell to pay. (aka, i would've gotten management, HA, i love authority....yeah....)

so anyway, after this incredibly bizarre and incoherent post it is absolutely time for me to go to sleep. good night.

word on the street is...:

lc recently posed for the new issue of entertainment weekly...popsugar has some pics and the highlights:

On the future of The Hills: "Every season, I think it's the last. Right now, I think this is the last season."
On whether or not the cameras get to her (and the inspiration for the cover): "I go through phases when I've been filming where I wake up in the middle of the night and I think I'm being filmed. That's when I have to take a vacation."
On accusations that the show is scripted: "I get that there are certain scenes where someone's like, 'Sooo, last night was weird....' And then there are people on the show who really don't help, because they are very fake. We know who we're talking about —like, you need to stop rehearsing your breakfast."

ed westwick had a date last night, with a girl, see i told you he's not gay! from the new york daily news: Apparently, Ed Westwick can stand to be separated from close friend/roommate Chace Crawford. The "Gossip Girl" guy was "seriously making out with some random chick" at Lit bar Wednesday night, says a spy. "When the two left together, Ed was leading her by the hand. He was moving quick, but he had time to wink at a hot brunette before slipping out."

bimbos don't really love barack! haha, i can breathe a little easier now...i don't have to requestion my political alignment! from page six: John McCain's ad calling Barack Obama "the biggest celebrity in the world" and linking the Democrat to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton raises the question: What exactly are the bimbos' political affiliations? In Susan Mulcahy's "Why I'm a Democrat," one party member tells the story of a Republican who chose the GOP because of Spears' behavior - "which he thought was disgusting because she has little children. He seemed to think the Democratic candidates shared Britney's values since it has been so widely reported that they get money from Hollywood donors." To which Mulcahy responds: "But I'll bet anything Britney Spears is a Republican!" A rep for Spears said she's registered as an independent. Hilton's rep said she does not "choose to openly discuss politics." But Paris seems to have GOP blood. Rick and Kathy Hilton contributed $6,900 to the McCain campaign between them. (megan note: of coooourse the hiltons would be republicans!!! they're rich! they don't want to fork over half of their income to taxes, and they probably could care less about aiding those less fortunate than themselves)

title: get smart

synopsis: 40-Year-Old Virgin star Steve Carell steps into the telephonic shoes of television's most beloved bumbling detective in this big-screen adaptation of the hit 1960s-era comedy series created by Mel Brooks. The evil geniuses at KAOS have hatched a diabolical plot to dominate every living man, woman, and child on the planet, and their plot gets under way as they attack the headquarters of the U.S. spy agency Control. As a result of the attack, the identity of every agent working for Control has been compromised. Realizing that the only way to thwart KAOS' evil plan is to promote eager but inexperienced Control analyst Maxwell Smart (Carell) to the rank of special agent, the Chief (Alan Arkin) reluctantly teams Smart with Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway) -- a veteran super-spy whose beauty is only surpassed by her lethality. With no real field experience to speak of and nothing but sheer enthusiasm and a handful of fancy spy gadgets to help him accomplish his deadly mission, Maxwell Smart his new partner, Agent 99, will be forced to faces malevolent KAOS head Siegfried (Terence Stamp) and his loyal army of minions in a decisive fight that will determine the fate of the free world.

title: the go-getter

synopsis: For the follow-up to his feature debut, 1999's The Big Split, filmmaker Martin Hynes took on this bittersweet road movie about a teenager responding to the untimely death of his mother. Overcome with grief that he's unequipped to deal with, Mercer (Lou Taylor Pucci) decides to steal a car and hit the open road.

why i want to see it: lou taylor pucci. zooey deschanel. jena malone.

title: when did you last see your father?
release date: in theaters now
synopsis: Adapted from poet Blake Morrison's best-selling memoir by screenwriter David Nicholls and directed for the screen by Anand Tucker, And When Did You Last See Your Father? explores -- like its source material -- the complex, manifold emotional layers of a father-and-son relationship as it shifts and evolves over the passing decades. At the film's center is Blake Morrison himself, who for as long as he can remember has lived in the overarching shadow of his physician father, Arthur (Jim Broadbent) -- falling prey to feelings of embarrassment from the old man, as well as occasional awe. In the 1950s, when Blake (Bradley Johnson) was a child, the boy watched as Arthur partook in socially uncouth behavior such as wheedling his way into clubs to which he didn't belong, and carrying on an extramarital affair with the full knowledge of his wife, Kim (Juliet Stevenson). As the years passed, teenage Blake's (Matthew Beard) discomfort around his father hardened into resentment -- particularly when the adolescent boy expressed interest in a girl, Rachel (Carey Mulligan), who clearly preferred his father; compounding the situation, Blake then had to suffer through Arthur's decision to publicly humiliate his son in front of everyone. The central dynamic has changed for the two, however, by the late '80s, when Blake -- now married to Kathy (Gina McKee) and freshly established as a successful novelist and poet -- learns that Arthur has contracted terminal cancer. Now, the junior Morrison takes a headfirst plunge into the memories and recollections of his youth -- and grapples with the dynamic of his relationship with Arthur for the first time in his life as he comes face to face with the need to provide loving care for the old man.

title: the tracey fragments.
release date: in theaters now.
synopsis: Page is a "normal girl who hates herself" frantically searching for her lost younger brother, who believes he's a dog. She spends much of said search wearing only a shower curtain. Here's hoping the movie itself is half as interesting as its premise.
why i want to see it: ellen page.

title: the promotion.
release date: in theaters now.
synopsis: Scott and Reilly face off as employees at a Chicago-area grocery store vying for a managerial position at a new chain location. It's slightly similar to 'Employee of the Month,' if you replaced Jessica Simpson with the glory of retail supremacy.

title: the incredible hulk.
release date: in theaters now.
synopsis: Mild-mannered scientist Bruce Banner has been traveling the globe in search of the antidote that will allow him to break free from his primal alter ego, but both the warmongers who long to exploit him for their own gain and a horrific creature known as The Abomination are determined to stop him from achieving his noble goal in Transporter 2 director Louis Leterrier's take on the classic Marvel Comics superhero tale. For years, Bruce (Edward Norton) has been living in the shadows, pursued by the military and haunted by the rage within. But traveling the world in secrecy isn't easy, and as hard as he tries Bruce can't get Betty Ross (Liv Tyler) off his mind. The daughter of Bruce's nemesis Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross (William Hurt), Betty represents everything that is beautiful in the world to a man who lives his life on the run. Eventually, Bruce returns to civilization and faces the wrath of The Abomination. While the Hulk may be a formidable force of nature, The Abomination is decidedly more powerful, and determined to destroy Bruce Banner. Created when KGB agent Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth) exposed himself to a higher dose of the same radiation that transformed Bruce into The Hulk, The Abomination is unable to change back into human form and holds Bruce accountable for his frightful condition. With time fast running out for both Bruce and The Hulk, New York City is about to become the ultimate urban battle zone as two of the most powerful creatures ever to walk the earth clash in a massive, no-holds-barred fight to the finish.

title: wanted
release date: june 27
synopsis: Based upon Mark Millar's explosive graphic novel series and helmed by stunning visualist director Timur Bekmambetov -- creator of the most successful Russian film franchise in history, the 'Night Watch' series -- 'Wanted' tells the tale of one apathetic nobody's transformation into an unparalleled enforcer of justice. In 2008, the world will be introduced to a hero for a new generation: Wesley Gibson. 25-year-old Wes (James McAvoy) was the most disaffected, cube-dwelling drone the planet had ever known. His boss chewed him out hourly, his girlfriend ignored him routinely and his life plodded on interminably. Everyone was certain this disengaged slacker would amount to nothing. There was little else for Wes to do but wile away the days and die in his slow, clock-punching rut. Until he met a woman named Fox (Angelina Jolie). After his estranged father is murdered, the deadly sexy Fox recruits Wes into the Fraternity, a secret society that trains Wes to avenge his dad's death by unlocking his dormant powers. As she teaches him how to develop lightning-quick reflexes and phenomenal agility, Wes discovers this team lives by an ancient, unbreakable code: carry out the death orders given by fate itself. With wickedly brilliant tutors -- including the Fraternity’s enigmatic leader, Sloan (Morgan Freeman) -- Wes grows to enjoy all the strength he ever wanted. But, slowly, he begins to realize there is more to his dangerous associates than meets the eye. And as he wavers between newfound heroism and vengeance, Wes will come to learn what no one could ever teach him: he alone controls his destiny.

title: finding amanda
release date: june 27
synopsis: Rescue Me co-creator Peter Tolan makes his feature directorial debut with this comedy starring Matthew Broderick as a moderately successful television writer whose addiction to alcohol, gambling, and drugs make dealing with the latest family crisis especially difficult. Taylor Peters (Broderick) is the writer and producer of a low-rated television sitcom that gets repeatedly bashed by critics and fares only slightly better with the viewing public. His career thrown off the tracks years ago due to his penchant for compulsive gambling, heavy drinking, and frequent recreational drug use, Taylor struggles to keep his additions under control. Sure he still plays the horses every now and then, but the less that his wife Lorraine (Maura Tierney) knows about that the better. When Lorraine's sister discovers that her twenty-year old daughter Amanda (Brittany Snow) has been working as a Las Vegas prostitute, she calls the family together for an emergency meeting. Later, during the ride home, Lorraine discovers Taylor's racing stubs stashed in the glove compartment and announces that she is filing for divorce. Desperate not to lose his wife, Taylor hatches an ingenious plan to win back her affections and prove he's a changed man: he'll travel to Las Vegas, locate Lorraine, and take her to rehab in Malibu. It's a noble plan indeed, but can a man given to such vices truly exercise the Herculean restrain needed to avoid the blackjack tables and accomplish his noble mission while traveling through the sordid streets of a city built on the very foundation of temptation?

title: hancock.
release date: july 2
synopsis: There are heroes... there are superheroes... and then there's Hancock (Will Smith). With great power comes great responsibility -- everyone knows that -- everyone, that is, but Hancock. Edgy, conflicted, sarcastic, and misunderstood, Hancock's well-intentioned heroics might get the job done and save countless lives, but always seem to leave jaw-dropping damage in their wake. The public has finally had enough -- as grateful as they are to have their local hero, the good citizens of Los Angeles are wondering what they ever did to deserve this guy. Hancock isn't the kind of man who cares what other people think -- until the day that he saves the life of PR executive Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman), and the sardonic superhero begins to realize that he may have a vulnerable side after all. Facing that will be Hancock's greatest challenge yet -- and a task that may prove impossible as Ray's wife, Mary (Charlize Theron), insists that he's a lost cause.
