If you could assemble a cast that includes Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, Amy Poehler, Bradley Cooper, Christopher Meloni, and Joe Lo Truglio, you’d have an A-list comedy on your hands these days, and that may be what you get if they make Wet Hot American Summer 2, the long-proposed sequel to 2000′s cult comedy. Co-writer and star of the original Michael Showalter said it’s definitely happening and everyone is on board.

This week’s episode of “30 Rock” brings in two very special guests from the world of politics. Ok, to be fair, one of those “guests” is merely an actor impersonating a famed political figure, but the performance is so frighteningly spot-on that we’d be safe in pretending that it was the real thing. Sadly, the other guest didn’t quite deliver the goods, but that doesn’t ruin the episode by a long shot. Take a look at our review to see how we felt…

“30 Rock” may not be as consistently entertaining as “Arrested Development” was, but it fills the gap that show left by providing viewers with a source of strong comedic writing.

“30 Rock” hasn’t been as consistently entertaining this season as it has in the past, and most of the episodes feel unbalanced. Some jokes are fantastic, others are predictable, and others are just simply not funny. It’s still good comedy television, but “30 Rock” is usually great comedy television, and it hasn’t lived up to its previous four seasons thus far. Sadly, the same can be said about last night’s episode, which was at times hilarious and insightful, and at other times dull and disappointing. Read our review to find out why…

There’s not other way of saying it, with My Idiot Brother mainstream Hollywood has officially hit the streets of Sundance. Despite the fact that I will see Paul Rudd (even when I’m supposed to be looking for the best unknown ____ who is soon to be amazing) in anything and enjoy the entire supporting cast, one can’t help but wonder what this film is doing at an Independent film festival — everything about it seems as mainstream as possible…

Infidelity, charity, blackmail, raccoons, and a bow & arrow. These are a few of the details in Jacob Aaron Estes’ The Details, and the devil is in them. The film, which stars Tobey Maguire, Elizabeth Banks, and Ray Liotta, Laura Linney, and Dennis Haysbert, is a chaotic dark comedy, dripping with the offbeat indie sensibility which is characteristic of Sundance dramedys. To find out more about this runaway train of silly and tragic circumstances, check out the rest of the review after the jump…

Back in September, we reported that Chris Pine was in negotiations to star in a developing film called Welcome to People. Yes, the title sounds strange but the story is even stranger. The film will mark screenwriter Alex Kurtzman’s (Lost, Star Trek) directorial debut. And according to THR, he’s landed another actor for it in the form of the talented Elizabeth Banks.

The beautiful Elizabeth Banks is back this week, and even if her role is minimal, there were plenty of reasons to watch last night’s episode of “30 Rock.” This has always been a show that relies just as much on its good writing as it does its stars – both of which did a phenomenal job this week at bringing the two together and keeping the laughs coming. Check out the review to find out more…
