Holmes & Watson is the rare kind of bad movie that is actually causing moviegoers to leave before it's even finished. Much has already been made of the latest team-up between Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly. Unfortunately, this wasn't the spiritual successor to Step Brothers that many had been hoping for. Instead, we seem to have a candidate for worst movie of the year, if public opinion is to be believed and now, there are quite a few people taking to Twitter to reveal that they, and others, have been walking out of showings. Going to the movies is...

But it does revolve around the conceit that the 40th president had no knowledge of where he was or what he was doing throughout his entire second term. The protagonist is Frank Corden, a low-level White House aide with a sweetly idealized view of American democracy. The first clues that Reagan is not in his right mind come early on: As Frank prepares coffee for Reagan re-election staffers, he overhears Treasury Secretary Don Regan (depicted as a stern, mentor-like figure) in a heated phone conversation with Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger (cartoonishly abusive, he's described as "all Brylcreem and forehead...

Will Ferrell has backed out of a comedy about Ronald Reagan’s struggle with Alzheimer’s disease following outrage from the former president’s family. The 48-year-old comic confirmed Friday that while he had seen the script and considered signing on to star and produce “Reagan”, he was no longer going ahead with the project.

With the ABC and CBS preoccupied with continuing coverage of Cecil the Lion and NBC harping on Jeb Bush’s comments about women’s health, the major broadcast networks found zero time on Tuesday night to mention the fact that arguably the most disturbing video yet in the Planned Parenthood scandal was released hours earlier by the Center for Medical Progress (CMP). Despite multiple mentions on cable networks CNN, the Fox News Channel (FNC), and MSNBC, the “big three” networks reverted back to their old ways of censoring the CMP videos as they did in the case of the third video (plus...

(CNN) -- Police in North Carolina shot and killed a man running toward them Saturday morning -- but he may have just been looking for help after a car wreck. Officers responded to a "breaking and entering" 911 call at a home in Charlotte. The homeowner told dispatchers that a man had been knocking on her door repeatedly. Police say that when they got to the scene, a man matching the caller's description ran toward them. One of the officers fired his stun gun, but it was "unsuccessful." Another officer then opened fire, police said. Jonathan Ferrell died at the...

A sneak peek at the script tells us that there are a few moments that will irk conservatives, including a “hilarious” reminder that we have a “black president” and that it’s time to stop stereotyping, even though there’s no stereotyping involved in the scene. Get it? Ha ha. But that’s all typical for this kind of in-your-face, over-the-top comedy film. Quick question, though: Who are the villains? Now there’s where things get interesting....According to the script, the villains in “The Other Guys” are…drum roll please…Bankers...[and]Dick Cheney.

Just plain genius.

PITY the unwitting par ents who take their kids to see "Land of the Lost," Will Ferrell's terminally stupid, sloppy, campy and cheesy -- and thoroughly unexciting and unfunny -- experiment in "family entertainment." Those parents will surely be cringing as: * Ferrell reaches into his pants to pleasure himself. * A half-man, half-ape repeatedly fondles Anna Friel's breasts. * Ferrell, under the influence of a hallucinogenic substance, strokes the aforementioned creature's hair and contemplates kissing him. * Ferrell, out of nowhere, blasphemes about Jesus. Nominally based on Sid and Marty Krofft's innocuous '70s TV show, "Land of the Lost,"...

GWB was wrong. And not just about WMD, CIA and POWs. The 43rd president of the US famously predicted last May: "I'll be long gone before some smart person ever figures out what happened inside this Oval Office." Turns out somebody has figured it out. And it ain't 44 either. No, O will probably spend his whole first term trying to figure out what the hell happened inside that office.

“Skippyjip,” who says he is not a huge fan of Will Ferrell’s, calls a rehearsal version of Ferrell’s upcoming stage show about George W. Bush “well-crafted,” “smart” and “very, very funny.” Co-written by Ferrell and his “SNL”/“Anchorman” collaborator Adam McKay, it opens Jan. 20 and closes March 15. HBO will telecast it live, likely on or near closing night. I love that they’ve already got a guy throwing shoes from the audience! Hey Harry, Long time reader, but this is my first scoop/review. I just saw a staged reading of an early version of Will Ferrell’s new one man Broadway...

Listening to National Public Radio on the way home from work, I found the interview -- at least at first -- fun enough. NPR's Terry Gross interviewed comedian/actor Will Ferrell, actor John C. Reilly and writer/director Adam McKay -- to promote a new film. All yukked about their careers, and then the interviewer asked Adam McKay how he and Ferrell began their collaboration years ago on "Saturday Night Live." "We had several writers writing a lot of the political stuff," said McKay. "But yeah, I had written a couple pretty big ones with Will. We actually wrote a sketch right...

Oh, how I love to do this to this awful atheistic anti-freedom communist anthem. MIDI - IMAGINE Imagine no Sarandon…and no Martin Sheen Ferrell's aborted…Assner remains unseen Imagine all these a-hoes…just going away (I can dream) There is no Sean Penn preaching…and Jessica Lange croaked We won't have to hear Baldwin…Clooney's a washed-up joke Imagine all these a-hoes…just going away You might tell me….DFU, you're too much of a dreamer But, oh, that world would be great Perhaps at least we could go and gag them all That's a FReep we would love to celebrate Imagine Barbra Streisand…keeping her big...
