Will Ferrell's new movie ' The House' has dropped its new trailer and it's cleverly outrageous!


After Saturday Night Live legends Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler made a mockery of the world of figure skating in Blades of Glory, they’re teaming up to create an illegal underground casino in the heart of suburbia
The House basically looks like Casino by way of the writers of Neighbors (Andrew J. Cohen and Brendan O’Brien). Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler are desperate to get enough money in order to send their daughter to college. The hilarious Jason Mantzoukas serves as the catalyst for this totally outlandish and unrealistic idea, and he looks like he’s going to be the MVP in this entire endeavor.
Watch The House trailer after the jump:

This has the same kind of feel to it as Seth Rogen's Neighbors in how the comedic scenarios are so ridiculous, but not in a way that feels completely stupid. There’s a cleverness behind the outrageous antics, and it really looks like Will Ferrell wasn’t joking when he previous said that he and Amy Poehler become like Robert De Niro and Sharon Stone in Casino. There’s even a flat out reference to as much in the final moments of this trailer.
The rest of the cast of The House has some great talent on board with Allison Tolman (Fargo) playing our main characters’ financial advisor, Rob Huebel playing a police officer, and Lennon Parham (Veep) playing a woman who gets a little too caught up in the Las Vegas lifestyle that emerges in the neighborhood.
Beyond that, there are some appearances by Rory Scovel and Nick Kroll, though we don’t know how extensive their roles will be. Kyle Kinane is supposed to pop up at some point as well, and Sam Richardson (also from Veep) has some kind of part as well. Other supporting cast members include Andrea Savage, Michaela Watkins and Steve Zissis, seen losing part of his hand there at the end.
This looks like it has the potential to be a breakout summer comedy, and since it’s an R-rated venture, there’s bound to be plenty more adult humor on display as the release gets closer. Personally, I’m hoping that the film really leans into the fact that they’re basically making a comedy out of a Martin Scorsese movie. Though much like the protagonists in his seedy crime dramas, I’m betting the house won’t end up winning this time.
The House, directed by co-writer Andrew J. Cohen, opens in cinemas everywhere on June 30.

Paul Thomas Anderson Week: 'There Will Be Blood' Review!

• There Will Be Blood, 2007 • 8.2/10 • Firstly, I would like to start with Daniel Day Lewis' mesmerizing performance as the ruthless oil prospector, Daniel Plainview. The scumbag cons local landowners into selling their valuable land for pittance, and then he comes along like a "straw" and "sucks it all up," leaving him very wealthy and everyone else in his way. Paul Dano, Wow, do you really expect anything less than magic when it comes to him acting, he's a true tour de force. I wish we had preachers like Eli Sunday up at my local church. Johnny Greenwood's score is brilliant, it really gets under your skin, you then combine that with the gorgeous cinematography, smart screenplay and the brilliant acting, you then have yourself a film where even if your not paying complete attention, you will still hate the lead by the end, all the same! Yeah, I did just say that. I'm sorry peeps but it got a little boring at times (it didn't keep me hook

'Tomb Raider' Review: First Successful Game Adaptation! Kudos!

Image
• Tomb Raider, 2018 • 7.9/10 • Alicia Vikander gives Lara depth and personality much like Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones. She's vulnerable, but she's also stubborn and focused to survive on her own and has never lost hope that she'll once again see her father. The story is built on the reboot of the video game series, but takes another way after the arrival at the destination where most of the action takes place. When the story follows the video game it has weaknesses (as so many games adaptations do), but when it stands on its own, it shows glimpses of coming adventures for Lara Croft that makes you want more -- much because of Vikanders grounded performance. The script is by no means perfect, the CGI was a bit spotty in places, and yes there are a few cliches and overused story devices here and there, but overall it is an enjoyable film and our first successful game adaptation! Yesss! P.S - Dominc West was the perfect choice for Mr. Croft!

Some funny news as Seth Rogen criticises Sony on Twitter!

Seth Rogen has criticised a new Sony Pictures initiative to make family friendly versions of its films available to viewers. Sony’s Clean Version initiative allows home entertainment customers to purchase films that have been edited for broadcast television and in-flight entertainment systems. Under the scheme, “scenes of graphic violence, offensive language, sexual innuendo and other adult content” will be censored or removed from some PG-13 and R-rated movies. So far, “clean versions” of 24 films, including Captain Phillips, Step Brothers and the Spider-Man movies, have been made available to purchase. Rogen criticised the initiative on Twitter : “Holy shit please don’t do this to our movies. Thanks.” Holy shit please don't do this to our movies. Thanks. https://t.co/0lpoESaIQd — Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) 6 June 2017 The actor, who has made adult-themed comedies such as Knocked Up , This Is The End and Sausage Party (don't forget the legendary Pineapple Expre
