Jay Roach has had something of a dichotomous career as a filmmaker—early on, the director made a name for himself directing such comedies as the Austin Powers franchise, as well as the first two films in the Meet the Parents series, before course-correcting and becoming HBO’s main man when it comes to political films about presidential elections (2008’s Recount, this year’s Game Change). So, it makes a kind of sense that Roach would eventually combine his two styles, as The Campaign features Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis humorously battling it out over a North Carolina Congressional seat.

The Shrek franchise drove itself into the ground after three sequels, so perhaps the only way to go forward was a spin-off. And it’s true that one of the best things about Puss in Boots – the fifth film in the franchise – is that it never feels like a Shrek movie.

Bored to Death’s season premier had it all: Oedipus, oysters and over-aged boyfriends. The quirky comedy noir hit its stride straight from the opening and kept up the laugh-a-minute pace to the credits. Following a delicately paved path to paternity, “The Blond In The Woods” did what a good kickoff should: it offered juicy stories to hold on to throughout the season and satisfied with hilarious standbys like George’s virility, Ray’s superhero fantasy, and Jonathan’s ability to be at once hyper-self-aware and oblivious.

The Hangover gang’s all back for another round of waking up and having no idea how bad things got the night before.For The Hangover Part II, the challenge – as a comedy – is to find a compelling narrative to return to a similar well.

It shows that Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis are back in a similar position of not remembering the night before and this time it’s not Justin Bartha they’ve lost, but a young boy.

The reviews are in on Zach Galifianakis’ (type that three times fast) Saturday Night Live hosting gig over the weekend, and the brilliant comic’s episode is getting—unsurprisingly—high marks for his hilarious monologue (“I wear a lot of Axe body spray, but I live in a black neighborhood, and it’s called Ask body spray, and if you don’t get that joke, then you’re not racist”), while the episode’s sketches are garnering—again, unsurprisingly—a general chorus of groans and mehs.
