TED 2 Director: Seth MacFarlane Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Seth MacFarlane, Amanda Seyfried, Jessica Barth, Giovanni Ribisi, Morgan Freeman, Patrick Warburton, Michael Dorn, Sam J. Jones, John Slattery, John Carroll Lynch Seth MacFarlane’s 2012 film about a raunchy but cute teddy bear named Ted did so well that it has naturally spawned a sequel. People had raved like it was the best comedy that had graced the silver screen in decades. While I enjoyed it, I wasn’t glowing that strongly about it like others. Ted 2 picks up with Ted (voiced by MacFarlane) who has now gotten married to his sweetheart Tami-Lynn (Bartha). A year hasRead More →

Much of this is due to Linda Lovelace and a little film she was in called Deep Throat. Linda (Seyfried) grew up in a pretty conservative household with her fairly strict parents (Stone and Patrick). I guess it was only time before she pulls a 180 and gets involved in drugs and porn. She meets Chuck Traynor (Sarsgaard)Read More →

LES MISERABLES Director: Tom Hooper Starring: Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Eddie Redmayne, Amanda Seyfried, Samantha Barks, Sacha Baron Cohen, Helena Bonham Carter The big screen adaptation of the beloved musical by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg has finally made it to the big screen, and it has left the die-hard fans in an uproar. Did they do justice with their beloved musical? Did they cast the right actors? Are the voices good enough? Can they get the cast recording out of their head for three hours to appreciate new voices or interpretations of the songs? I have seen the stage version a coupleRead More →
