Chris Rock Reviews, Interviews & More
Returning to the well that gave the world the inexplicable hit Grown Ups, Adam Sandler has returned to bring us Grown Ups 2: The Exact Same Formula As The First Movie, But This Time in the Country. In it, we see such hilarity as a CGI elk rearing up and peeing on Adam Sandler’s face, middle-aged men skinny dipping with frat boys,...
After being shipped from New York to Madagascar, and then leaving Madagascar only to end up in Africa, Alex the lion (voiced by Ben Stiller), Marty the zebra (Chris Rock), Melman the giraffe (David Schwimmer) and Gloria the hippo (Jada Pinkett Smith) have a new game plan for getting home: Joining the circus. Will it get them back to America? This third entry in the franchise is easily the best...
This week Daniel Radcliffe came out and admitted to being drunk on the Harry Potter set. We knew he had trouble with alcohol, but really? Well, drunk or not, we'll always remember him as Harry Potter. Comedian Chris Rock told the L.A. Times that he's got some serious plans for himself and...
Grown Ups, the Adam Sandler-starring vehicle which reunited him with friends Kevin James, Rob Schnieder, Chris Rock and David Spade made a lot of money. $162 Million, point of fact, making it the second highest grossing Sandler film, just about two million shy of Big Daddy. Which is exactly why Sony has greenlit a sequel, and it's now...
There's a whole lot of funny on DVD this week as two spring comedy hits roll onto shelves in the form of Date Night and Death at a Funeral. Plus there's a spring comedy you never heard of called The Joneses (with David Duchovny!)
All that plus a big hit show that I'm not sure anybody has ever heard of, plus the...
Adam Sandler took the major players from the 1992 cast of "Saturday Night Live," put them in a movie, and named it Grown Ups. The
actor co-wrote the screenplay and stars in the film, which includes a who's who of comedy veterans. On the surface, it looks like an excuse for a group of 40-somethings to act like 12 year olds but surprisingly,...
A new UK trailer has been released for the Dennis Dugan directed comedy Grown Ups. It features a who's who of former SNL stars including Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, David Spade, Rob Schneider, Maya Rudolph, and that one guy they just can't shake, Kevin James.

A new trailer has been released for the upcoming Chris Rock and Adam Sandler comedy Grown Ups and it's filled with plenty of "Saturday Night Live" alumni including David Spade, Rob Schneider, and Maya Rudolph. It also stars that one guy who wasn't on the show but always manages to pop up in Sandler's films named Kevin James. Check out the latest...
Chris Rock has managed to dabble in a few remakes over the course of his career, with the most recent being Death at a Funeral, a rip-off of the British film of the same name. If he likes tackling off beat comedies that's great but when he starts messing with Akira Kurosawa's work we've got a serious problem. According to Black Voices, Rock will pen a...
The international trailer for the upcoming ensemble comedy Grown Ups has been released, and it's slightly better than the domestic version. The film's main characters are mostly played by "Saturday Night Live" alumni, with the exception of Kevin James. The latest trailer gives us some new footage, and highlights some of the wives in the film that...
Somehow this new comedy managed to fly under my radar. Chris Rock and Martin Lawrence have teamed up to star in a remake of Death at a Funeral. The original film came out a couple of years ago and was directed by Frank Oz, and for some odd reason Rock and a group of his friends thought it would be a good idea to redo it.
Check out the...
Tonight on NBC, Merry Madagascar will air as a new Christmas special for the peacock network. A few months ago, word had spread that the popular animated film would make the jump to network television and it's finally here. All the usual suspects from the cast will return with a brand new story to tell.
A teaser trailer has finally been released for the ensemble comedy Grown Ups, which mostly features Saturday Night Live alumni except for one. And we're not referring to the Will Ferrell era of SNL, we're talking the bad boy years that featured Adam Sandler, David Spade, Chris Rock, and Rob Schneider. All of them will be on the big...
Chris Rock has a new documentary, titled Good Hair, coming out on Friday, and can you take a guess of what it's about... Hair! A better description is Chris Rock's journey across the United States and into India, to shine a light on all the things black women are willing to do to their hair to get it to look the way they want it. Why are women spending...
Recently, we had the opportunity to talk to Chris Rock and Nia Long about weaves, wigs, and perms for the new documentary, Good Hair. Rock was inspired to make the film after his daughter asked him why she didn't have good hair. In her case, she was referring to the European look of straight long tresses, but is that everyone's ideal?...
I have been itching for this film to come to conventional theaters. Actor/comedian, now documentary filmmaker Chris Rock has decided to place focus on an aspect of the African American community that many don't talk about, their hair. In his latest film Good Hair, Rock decides to take a refreshing look at the billion dollar Black hair industry and how...
Last month we reported on an untitled SNL infused comedy that features a who's who of comedic actors. As of today that roster just got a whole lot prettier. According to Variety, Academy Award nominated actress Salma Hayek has signed on to co-star in the film. Hayek will join Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, David Spade, Kevin James and Rob Schneider...
So many films! So, many role! Let's see who is signing up for what...
