There’s something to be said that only the Beastie Boys could bring out Danny McBride, Seth Rogen, Elijah Wood, Jack Black, Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly, Ted Danson, Stanley Tucci, Susan Sarandon and many more famous people for what appears to be a very funny goof on the history of the Band. McBride, Wood and Rogen play younger versions of the band, with Reilly, Ferrell and Black the older iterations. How this all works out is unknown, but the trailer is here for Fight For Your Right – Revisited, and it is great. Check it out…

The Extra Man premiered earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival’s largest venue to fairly solid reviews (check out our Sundance Review). It is the story of idealists who exist just outside of the commonly accepted reality of New York City, who come together to find themselves and accept one another. It’s somewhat of a hard pitch to sell, but luckily the lead performances make it worthwhile.
Check out our full review (and our Sundance Review) for The Extra Man…

That being said, Fox Searchlight Pictures presents Cyrus written and directed by the Duplass brothers. Hill, Riley, and the always fabulous Marissa Tomei comprise the quirky trio that will leave you both slightly charmed and slightly confused.

John C. Reilly lights up the screen with another amazing character in the Duplass Brothers, Mark and Jay’s first big Hollywood film Cyrus. The film premiered at Sundance Film Festival (read review) and blew everyone away with it’s free spirit and unique characters. Once again Reilly completely transforms himself, this time into a lovable, self-deprecating man who is completely depressed until he meets a beautiful women who comes with an insane son.
In the film Reilly pushes himself to a new level of improvisation which he fought against at first and comes out on top. Find out about what it’s like to when the Duplass Brothers go Hollywood…
