I can be a sucker for a good heart-warming film. However, like good science, the formula has to be very precise. The film must contain equal parts bearded comic-relief, lovable yet troubled man boy, quirky love interest, and finally the film must have some kind of artsy cartoon scene. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a film that hits all of these precise measurements in the correct doses, so naturally I’m a bit weary of IT’S KIND OF A FUNNY STORY. The film stars Zach Galifianakis (the beard), Keir GIlchrist (the boy), and Emma Roberts (the Zooey). They even put in a few artsy shots! Check out the trailer and prepare to crave some indie rock…

Somehow, this was the first I have heard of the Zach Galifianakis, Robert Downey Jr. project, DUE DATE. After watching the trailer, I am whole heartedly ashamed. The trailer, which is rip-roaringly funny, appeared yesterday on Yahoo Movies to an enormously positive response.

People can’t seem to get enough of these two lately. RDJ had a resurgence of popularity after IRON MAN that has yet to fade. Starting as a stand-up comedian, Galifianakis made his way up the popularity rung by giving many performances that earned him the title “Oh that guy! I love that guy!” and finally had his fate sealed by THE HANGOVER. Now, they’re joining forces, lucky for us too.

DUE DATE tells the tale of Peter Highman (Downey Jr) who in a moment of desperation, is forced to hitch a ride with blooming thespian and all-round weirdo, Ethan Tremblay, in order to see his first child’s birth. As well as the two leading men, the film stars Jamie Foxx, Alan Arkin, Juliette Lewis, Michelle Monaghan and RZA. What are you still reading for? Go! Watch!

What do you get when you put Michael Fassbender, Dominic West, Neil Marshall and a whole bunch of pissed of Roman’s in a box and shake them around? Well, your previously peeved Romans will most likely have gotten angier, but dig to the bottom and there will be CENTURION, the latest project from Neil Marshall. Then more pissed Romans, but that’s not the point.
