Earlier this summer, Charlyne Yi’s romantic “documentary” Paper Heart was all the rage. The film was a Sundance darling and earned accolades from all over the festival circuit. Yi not only stars but co-wrote the film along with Nicholas Jasenovec who also directed the movie. Paper Heart features several familiar faces, but most prominently highlights the appearance of Michael Cera. If you were a fan of the film in theaters you’ll love all the extras that will be included on the upcoming DVD.

If there was ever a week where we had movies for all types of people, this would be it. From your action big shot movie (Stephen Sommers‘ G.I.

Here is what they had to say…

This has got to be one of the sweetest trailers I’ve seen in a long time. I think Michael Cera is one of the move clever comedians to watch. Mix that with Charlyne Yi, a stand up comedian, who has a simple and honest way about her and you have the potential for an amazing comedy. Sadly, this isn’t a REAL documentary as they claim it is, but I’m going to pretend I don’t know that and go with that they give me.

Check out the trailer below… Continue Reading
