Vince Vaughn and ‘The Rockford Files’: A Recipe for Success

Joseph Doherty — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 15:01:48 +0000

It is frequently said that Hollywood is running out of substantive, original ideas. With the influx of ill-conceived TV show adaptations that have flooded theaters in recent years, one could certainly make a compelling argument to support that statement. However, yesterday’s announcement that Vince Vaughn will helm a big screen version of The Rockford Files might just be a stroke of genius.

The defining factor that could contribute to this film’s success is the strength of the source material. Produced during a decade marked with cliché-ridden, by-the-numbers detective shows, The Rockford Files turned the formula upside down during its 1974-1980 run. Starring James Garner, the show revolved around a jaded, smart aleck ex-con who struggled to get by working as a private investigator in Southern California. Throughout the 60′s and 70′s, any show that featured some element of law enforcement had such routine plots that the audience knew how it would be resolved before the first commercial break. Therefore, these shows were almost completely absent of any suspense or mystery. With The Rockford Files, nothing was what it seemed. Everyone had an angle and all of Rockford’s cases had multiple layers. For a show that was fairly light in tone it could be remarkably engrossing.

In addition to its complex plots, The Rockford Files featured one of the small screen’s most charismatic and engaging protagonists. While most TV detectives were morally sound, superheroes hell-bent on making a difference, Jim Rockford’s primary concern was self-preservation. As long as he was getting his $200 a day, plus expenses, all was right. Solving the case was just icing on the cake. More interesting, given his background, was the fact that Rockford rarely resorted to physical violence when in trouble. Instead he would use of his wit, charm, and considerable street smarts. While Rockford was certainly a gifted private investigator, he had all the makings of a great criminal as well. That made him such a compelling figure.

When finding the right actor to play Jim Rockford on the big screen, the filmmakers needed someone who could skate that fine line between sly and smarmy. With his swagger and accidental charm, Vince Vaughn has spent a career doing just that. Though he is certainly not one of the more gifted comedic actors of his generation, Vince Vaughn might be the most relatable. He is the kind of guy you could picture sharing a plate of nachos with while watching football on a Sunday afternoon. That is something an actor cannot be taught. It is just a natural gift. James Garner was blessed with that same ‘everyman’ aura which is why you rooted for him as Jim Rockford. I can definitely see Vince Vaughn channeling that energy with his interpretation of the character.

In analyzing his spotty career, one can see that Vince Vaughn usually turns in his best work when he is not the leading man (i.e. Old School, Wedding Crashers). While James Garner’s Jim Rockford was undeniably the show’s driving force, he had the luxury of being supported by an array of eclectic secondary characters that not only enhanced the narrative, but provided a jolt of comedic relief . The most notable of these was Rockford’s sleazy, deceitful friend and former cellmate Angel. With his endless stream of get rich quick schemes and penchant for falling in with the wrong crowd, Angel was a fantastic foil for Rockford. The casting of supporting characters like Angel in The Rockford Files film will be absolutely critical and, if done right, could really set it apart from other entries in the genre.

While there is still much information to be learned regarding the cast and crew, all signs point to The Rockford Files film being, at the very least, moderately successful. This is because it features to two key elements, including a complex premise and charismatic leading man. Many films in history have coasted to critical and box-office success with that precious combination alone. My only hope is that the studio will realize what they have and bring in top-shelf talent, both in front of and behind the camera, to support the project. In doing that, they cannot lose.

Do you think a Rockford Files movie starring Vince Vaughn will be a winning combination?

New DVD Releases: The Green Hornet, The Dilemma, From Prada to Nada

Andrew Payne — Tue, 03 May 2011 19:58:29 +0000

After a week off due to the incredibly rare instance of absolutely no DVDs being released at all, the DVD picks are back with a very nice collection of early-year comedies and a weird grab-bag of TV on DVD Releases.

All that, plus a legendary wrestler in what appears to be a film worth of Hallmark Hall of Fame distinction. Oh yes, it’s time for the face paint to run with a few tears.

Check it out below…

Feature Films

The Green Hornet and The Dilemma

I’m trying to decide which is shorter. The pinnacle of a rapper’s career or the pinnacle of comedic movie star’s career?

Think about it. Five years ago, Vince Vaughn was an untouchable comedy demi-god with hits like ‘The Break Up’, ‘Old School’ and ‘Wedding Crashers’. Meanwhile, you couldn’t put on a hip-hop station without hearing from Missy ‘Misdemeanor’ Elliot, Ja Rule or Nelly.

Now, after barely any time has passed Vince Vaughn is stuck headlining a bomb comedy that comes out in January and I haven’t heard from any of those three hip-hop artists outside of a Jack FM retro day.

And it’s happened many times before. Jim Carrey was once on top of the world. Eddie Murphy before that. And so on down the line. No matter how luminous the comedic actor, they’re all in danger of winding up like MC Hammer or Busta Rhymes

So this raises the question: How much longer does Seth Rogen have on top of the comedic world? Was Funny People the first chink in his armor? Is it the underperforming Green Hornet which failed to make back its money domestically, and seems to have only broken even globally? Or was it the mega-bomb Paul which only featured his voice, but it was that voice that managed to receive the brunt of the disdain for the film.

His next slate of movie will tell if he has the rare staying power of an Eminem or Adam Sandler, or if he’ll end up with the Vince Vaughns and Busta Rhymes of the world.

Of course, you can save both of them from being forgotten, by purchasing their DVDs:

Vince Vaughn, David O. Russell to Tackle 2 Guns?

Krystal Clark — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 16:20:07 +0000

This weekend, Vince Vaughn will tickle your funny bone in his latest comedy The Dilemma (check out our review), which is great for now but the actor already has another project in the works. According to Variety, Vaughn has his eye on a comic adaptation called 2 Guns. The trade reports that he’s being tapped to star and David O. Russell is interested in writing and directing it.

If you’re not familiar with the comic, it’s probably because it only ran for five issues. From Boom! Studios it’s described as follows:

In the vein of Ocean’s Eleven and The Italian Job, Two Guns is a pulp story about cops and thieves and the men that are something in between. Trench has targeted a local bank to rob, and asked Steadman in on the job. Trench figures it’s a great way to score – considering it’s a cover for mob money. They’ll be thieves ripping off thieves. But what Steadman doesn’t know is that Trench is a DEA agent. And what Trench doesn’t know is that Steadman’s got his own secret and isn’t who he appears to be… Classic two gun safe-robbing action delivered with wit and charm from the writer-creator of Whisper!

Vince Vaughn in a comedic pulp story? Are we the only ones who remember his work as a dramatic actor? In the beginning of his career, he appeared in many dramas including 1998′s Psycho, but some people have forgotten that. It would be great to see if he can still carry that type of material, especially with Russell directing but it probably won’t happen. We’re sure they’ll amp up the “wit and charm” element they’ve described.

What do you think of Russell and Vaughn teaming up for 2 Guns?

The Dilemma: Movie Review

Justine JC — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 01:00:21 +0000

Alert your fraternity! My man Vince Vaughn is back to charm/offend/entertain audiences in Ron Howard’s latest flick, The Dilemma, which also stars Kevin James, Jennifer Connolly, Winona Ryder, and Channing Tatum. “Bro-codes” and other gender-related policies are tested under the highest of stakes in this Universal Studios release.

Check out the review below…

The Players:

Director: Ron Howard
Writer: Allan Loeb
Cast: Vince Vaughn, Kevin James, Jennifer Connolly, Winona Ryder, Channing Tatum
Cinematography By: Salvatore Totino
Original Music By: Lorne Balfe, Hans Zimmer

The Plot:

Ronny (Vaughn) and happily married Nick (James) are partners at an auto design firm and have been BFF’s since college. When Ronny inadvertently catches Nick’s wife, Geneva (Ryder) getting cozy with another man (Tatum), he’s faced with the ultimate brotherly dilemma: tell him or not? They’re in the throes of landing a dream project and the bad news could affect Nick’s work, so Ronny holds off on breaking the news. Instead, he takes matters into his own hands by pursuing an amateur investigation that spirals into sheer mayhem, potentially compromising his relationship with both Ronny and his soon to be fiance, Beth (Connolly).

The Good:

Vaughn/James: I’d argue that Vaughn currently reigns at number one on the comedy charts – his name alone baits vast numbers to the box office. That said, landing a role as his opposite has become a coveted job since it will undoubtedly render great exposure. Personally, I pity all actors attempting to trump the Vaughn/Wilson duo from Wedding Crashers but I’ve got to hand it to Kevin James with the very close second. His humor juxtaposes Vaughn’s in a way that doesn’t leave him upstaged. Each actor’s respective comedic timing compliments the other’s making them a lovable, perfectly amusing pair to watch.
Sports Analogies: Vaughn films rarely fail to access their male audience, but the ongoing use of sports analogies in this particular flick should strike an exceptionally masculine chord! Every featured conflict, work or love-life related, was rationalized and further strategized by football terminology. (Those of you uneducated females will hopefully better understand words like “red zone” and “touchdown”).
Themes: The Dilemma redefines (or at least clarifies) the logistics of the “bro-code,” but more importantly it highlights the indispensable virtue of honesty in all relationship forms.

The Bad:

Winona Ryder: Who put you in this movie? More importantly, who put you in Black Swan? I digress. Ryder simply didn’t fit the dynamic of this role or the picture in general. This casting choice put a damper on what could have made for a fabulous foursome. Boo.
Vaughn/Connolly Relationship: You root for Ronny because you can’t NOT root for Vince Vaughn. But let’s be real, if your ex-alcoholic/gambler boyfriend had “inexplicable” leper-like rashes that inspired penis malfunctions, came home with gigantic bruises on both his face and his Mustang, and destroyed your parents’ anniversary dinner you’d most likely RUN from a marriage proposal. Not Beth, Beth was thrilled to accept his hand. Explain that one to me.

Overall:

Exactly what you expect it to be with a little more substance than your average comedy. Definitely worth a ticket purchase if you’re trying to get your laugh on.

Rating: 7/10

The Dilemma opens in theaters on January 14.

5 New Cips from The Dilemma – Less Comedy Than Expected

Mali Elfman — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 21:58:23 +0000

Despite The Dilemma being promoted as a “comedy” with comedic heavy weights Vince Vaughn and Mall Cop Paul… I mean Kevin James leading the way, from the look of these clips there’s a lot more too Ron Howard’s latest relationship adventure that the first trailer led us to believe… either that or it’s really not that funny as it’s supposed to be. Maybe it’s the lack of music or context but something about these clips leaves me wanting more.

Watch the clips with some classic Ron Howard touches below…

Getting real…ly cheesy:

Obviously we have some big boy issues going on this film about how to be in a relationship which means, lots of talking sweetly on the floor… I want to know how they got to just be chilling on the floor and not on a comfy sofa.

Ron Howard loves his Tiny Dancer:

Yeap… there it is.

Lady Wood:

I’m hoping this clip is more funny in the film? If not, this is definitely leaning toward drama with a few moment trying to be funny.

You’re my Hero:

These are the Ron Howard moments that some people love and some people hate. They are overly sentimental in a rom com type of way, but are supposed to be heavy and reveal a characters true feelings… I know where I stand, do you?

The Panic Attack:

Hmmmm… leaves me wanting more.

I wonder how the possible lack of comedy weighs on the whole controversial “gay” line in the film - if the film is not a comedy does that make the line better or worse? Definitely doesn’t bod well for Vince Vaughn’s comment “Comedy and joking about our differences breaks tension and brings us together,” which I tried to back up before. Damn Vaughn don’t leave me hanging!

Guess we’ll just have to see it to find out!

The cast also includes Jennifer Connelly, Winona Ryder, Channing Tatum and Queen Latifah. The Dilemma opens in theaters January 14, 2011.

What do you think of the latest clips for The Dilemma? Is it funny?

Vince Vaughn Defends The Dilemma’s Gay Joke

Krystal Clark — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 16:43:18 +0000

Over the past week, Universal’s upcoming comedy The Dilemma has been the center of a heated debate regarding a joke featured in the film. Originally, the domestic trailer for the movie opened with the line, “Electric cars are… gay,” which was promptly removed once GLAAD and anchor Anderson Cooper condemned it for being offensive. Now, those groups are taking it a step further and asking them to take it out of the film completely, a request that star Vince Vaughn doesn’t want to grant.

In a statement released to the media Vaughn had this to say:

“Let me add my voice of support to the people outraged by the bullying and persecution of people for their differences, whatever those differences may be. Comedy and joking about our differences breaks tension and brings us together. Drawing dividing lines over what we can and cannot joke about does exactly that; it divides us. Most importantly, where does it stop.”

As a society we’ve encountered a terrifying rise in bullying and suicides related to homophobia and I think the trailer suffered from being released at the wrong time. Not only that, but the line isn’t really funny, and wasn’t the best way to introduce the film. If they wanted it out of the trailer, fine, but to take it out of the movie is a ridiculous stretch. There are so many films that feature worse derogatory language towards gender, race, as well as sexual orientation.

Where do you draw the line with something like this? If you watch the trailer, you can tell immediately that it’s not meant to be malicious, where there are some movies where it blatantly is. Are we going to start policing everything now? At what point does this spill over into censorship of free and creative speech?

If you haven’t watched the trailer in question here’s the original version:

What do you think? Is the outrage warranted?

Vince Vaughn and Kevin James in The Dilemma Trailer

Krystal Clark — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 20:01:58 +0000

How does Kevin James do it? Earlier this week we learned that he’ll star in a mixed martial arts comedy, and today the trailer for his latest film The Dilemma has been released. Unlike some people, we can only take James in small doses, he needs to be helped by other people who are actually funny — cue Vince Vaughn. Check out the trailer for the duo’s new film below..

The Dilemma centers on two best friends (Vaughn and James) who are both in committed relationships, unfortunately one of them is being cheated on! James’ character has no idea that his girlfriend is having a torrid affair with a younger man. Vaughn accidentally stumbles on one of their trysts and sees the adulterer in action and now he’s not sure if he should expose her or keep it to himself, hence “the dilemma.”

The cast also includes Jennifer Connelly, Winona Ryder, Channing Tatum and Queen Latifah and is directed by Ron Howard. It’s been a long time we’ve seen such light fare from Howard so kudos for that.

The Dilemma opens in theaters January 14, 2011, which is kind of scary considering that’s dump month.

Winona Ryder to Star in New Comedy

Anet Hovhanesian — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 03:58:27 +0000

It’s hard to remember back to that time in the 80′s time when actress Winona Ryder starred in everything under the sun. From Beetlejuice and Heathers to Little Women, Ryder played diverse roles and even won a Golden Globe Award for her role in The Age of Innocence. Recently, however, she was seen as a has-been who was more recognized for her personal troubles than her work as an actress. At least she still looks like she’s 20!

It looks like Ryder is about to have a comeback. According to Hollywood Insider, Ryder beat out people like Kate Beckinsale and Uma Thurman for the leading role in Ron Howard’s new film starring Vince Vaughn and Kevin James. Ryder will play James’ wife in the comedy which begins shooting in May.

The movie centers on two best friends, played by James and Vaughn.When Vaughn’s character discovers that James’ wife (Ryder) has cheated on his best friend, he confronts her directly and must decide whether or not he will tell his friend. It will be interesting to see how Ryder keeps up with the two funnymen.

The chemistry between Ryder and her costars is something that should be interesting. With Howard behind the camera, you really can’t go wrong. We all know Ryder can act, but can she make us laugh is the question.

What do you think of Ryder being cast for the role of James’ wife in the film?

New DVD Releases: Couples Retreat, A Serious Man, The Time Traveler’s Wife

Andrew Payne — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 16:00:18 +0000

There are plenty of big-time movies rolling onto DVD shelves including an October tent-pole film that wasn’t, an August tent-pole that wasn’t, and a romantic comedy comeback that wasn’t.

Okay, so maybe these movies aren’t so big, but we do get a chance to catch up with one of the ten Best Picture nominees as A Serious Man hits the shelves, plus a new collection from one of the greatest directors ever.

Check it all out below…

FEATURE FILMS

Couples Retreat

Is Vince Vaughn Over? It seems like if this movie had come out in, say, 2007 it could have been a massive hit. But that was before Fred Claus, before Four Christmases, before seeing Vince Vaughn rolling out his usual shtick had the viewer wondering, “Still?”

Sure, this movie did cross the century mark at the box office, but of the people who saw the movie, nobody seemed to want to admit to it. Is there anybody out there who had a friend run up to them insisting they see “Couples Retreat”? Of course not, it never happened.

So as this movie rolls onto DVD, Vaughn seems to be at a bit of a crossroads. A far cry from his Wedding Crashers heyday. And, of course, still begging the question. . .

Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.

A Serious Man

Here’s what’s so great about the Coen Brothers. Why they stand so gracefully on their own.

Two years ago they won Best Picture and were on top of Hollywood with a bushel of Oscars. They followed that up with Burn After Reading, which gave them their biggest box office opening ever, and had them rapidly soaring towards the mainstream.

So what do the Coens do with this momentum? They create a strangely comic character study with Richard Kind and Adam Arkin as its most recognizable cast members that’s almost completely inaccessible to most people.

And that’s what the Coens do. They make movies on their own terms, not going after mainstream success, and caring only about quality.

And, again, it pays off with a Best Picture nomination. Check it out on DVD.

“The Life & Times of Tim” – Season One

It’s not very often that HBO makes a show that is completely invisible. Whether it bombs, it rocks, or it’s just different, their shows always seem to enter the zeitgeist in one way or another.

Then there’s “The Life & Times of Tim”. A twisted bit of cartoon hilarity that you’d need a compass to locate in the buzzosphere. How this show slipped through the cracks is a mystery, considering it’s the funniest thing HBO has made since “Extras”.

It’s coming back next Friday, so it’s the perfect time to catch up with it on DVD.

David Lean DVD Collection

David Lean is one of the directors in the forties and fifties who really expanded the scope of cinema. He was a guy who made films that were grand spectacles, stretching the screen as well as the audience’s mind with movies like Lawrence of Arabia, The Bridge on the River Kwai, and Dr. Zhivago.

There isn’t much of that on this new collection, which instead focuses mostly on Lean’s smaller films that are nonetheless brilliant. Many of these are unavailable on DVD and are found only in this nine disc DVD set that includes:

Ron Howard to Direct Vince Vaughn

Krystal Clark — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 00:24:07 +0000

Ron Howard has decided to step away from his mystery driven, religious epics to tackle some lighter fare. According to Variety, the award winning director will join forces with funny man Vince Vaughn for his latest feature. The film is currently untitled, but will be produced by Imagine Entertainment and Universal Pictures.

Vaughn will star and co-produce the film that will be based off an Allan Loeb script. The story will center on infidelity between lovers and friends, which vaguely sounds like the plot from Couples Retreat. Both Howard and Vaughn’s deals are being finalized, but the film’s already scheduled to start shooting in Chicago. Loeb previously wrote the screenplay’s for 21 and the upcoming Oliver Stone sequel, Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps.

Ron Howard has done it all, so there’s no doubt that he can handle a comedy but a Vince Vaughn comedy is a different kind of monster. The actor will be producing the flick with his Wild West Picture Show banner, which means he’ll have some serious input. It’s hard for me to fathom those two on the same wavelength when it comes to what joke works and what doesn’t. But then again, didn’t Ron Howard pop up in a Jamie Foxx video not too long ago? Maybe he has a wild side that we have yet to see come out on film?

What do you think of the combo of Howard and Vaughn? Do you think they’ll make a hit or a bomb?

Couples Retreat: Movie Review

Mali Elfman — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 04:00:39 +0000

This week the Bora Bora comedy, Couples Retreat with Jon Favreau, Vince Vaughn, Malin Akerman, Kristin Davis, Jason Bateman, Kristen Bell, Faizon Love and Kali Hawk hits theaters. With so many comedians all jam packed into one film, I’m sure you’re all looking forward to seeing your favorite actor strut their stuff in a laugh out loud comedy. Sadly, it’s not that movie. This is definitely a film that was more fun to shoot than it was to watch.

Check out the review below…

The Players:

Director: Peter Billingsley
Writers: Jon Favreau, Vince Vaughn, and Dana Fox
Cast: Vince Vaughn and Malin Akerman, Jon Favreau and Kristin Davis, Jason Bateman and Kristen Bell, Faizon Love and Kali Hawk, with Jean Reno and Peter Serafinowicz

The Plot:

One couple, obsessed with organization decides to call it quits, but not before giving it one last go at a “couple retreat.” The problem is, they can only afford the group rate. With a promise that it will be nothing from Pina Coladas and jet skis, even the reluctant couples decide to take the journey and all four couples set out to save or improve their relationships. They quickly realize that participation in the resort’s therapy sessions is not optional and at times can be dangerous. Let the comedy ensue!

The Good:

The Setting: They’re in Bora Bora… cool.
Jon Favreau: He played the only role that stood out in the film. One could argue that his character didn’t even fit into this movie, and I would say that’s a good thing. He seemed to be the only one having fun with his character not just the setting. He took some risks and his improv is as good as ever.
Good Times: The film looked like it was a blast to shot! Couple that with a great cast of friends and I’m sure they had a lot of fun, sadly the the result was anything but fun…

The Bad:

The Plot: Everything about the film seemed forced. Getting them too the Island takes so much unnecessary time. Why not just have four couples who are all in need of a break and then cut to Bora Bora? Do we really need to drag it out for twenty minutes? We all know they’re going! And once there, do they HAVE to all come together at the same time with cheesy monologues that seemingly take 10 hours?
The Dialogue: The words “forced,” “contrived,” “disingenuous,” and “unnecessary” all come to mind when I think about some of the dialogue in this film. Thank god there were a few moments where we got to see Faverau and Vaughn’s good old witty improv routine because if not for that, there really wasn’t much there. Although if you really want to see them at their height, so rent Swingers.
Cheap Gags: I guess when you have nothing strong, you rely on penis jokes and PG-13 nudity. Neither of which were done well enough to work. They weren’t enough obscenities to get a Bruno or Hangover gasp and yet there were some scenes that were just over the top and far to long. A guy in a speedo is funny for about 30 seconds, not 5 minutes. They ended up with a very toned down feel, which made this a very middle of the road comedy. At times it almost felt as if they weren’t able to get out of the box so they were trying to pry it open.
Covering all the Characters: They seemed to concerned with making sure each character had a full dramatic art that the pacing of the film dragged on. Going back to the penis joke, couldn’t just ONE couple have that problem? Do we really have to see it with all four of them equally? EVERY time with EVERY joke?
The Ending: Where the hell did his wife show up from? “Oh, I heard that you were going to an Island at the saloon so I spent thousands of dollars and hung out with a bunch of kids in a bikini for 4 days until you found your way over.” WHAT?!? Come on, I’m one for letting things go for “movie magic” but that’s just plan old stupid.

Overall:

I get that this wasn’t meant to be the best movie of the year, but it wasn’t even fun to watch. I’m so glad they had a fun time shooting it, but it’s not fun for the audience. That being said, there were people in the theater laughing, so maybe it’s just me! Just make sure you have a few strong drinks before going in and I’m sure it won’t be too bad.
