Film News: Another Cool Trailer -- "The Wackness" Shows No Slackness

By Noah Mallin

Those of you who have caught Drake and Josh on Nickleodeon know that the duo is composed of teen girl-bait guitar playing singer Drake Bell and goofy lunk Josh Peck. Turns out Peck has lost a ton of weight and also grown some impressive acting muscles opposite Ben Kingsley judging by his new impossible-to-market film The Wackness. Flick is set in mid-90s NYC and features drug dealing, head-shrinking, and an Olsen twin. Check out the trailer:

Movie News: Make it An All Apatow Summer -- Forgetting Sarah Marshall

Hey it's those two guys...and they're in Hawaii!

Judd Apatow has about 20 bajillion films coming out including Pineapple Express at the end of the Summer and Forgetting Sarah Marshall at the beginning in May. As you'll see from the trailer, Marshall (which coincidentally stars Apatow's former Freaks and Geek-ster Marshall from How I Met Your Mother) looks pretty darn good. Behold!

Film: Pineapple Express Preview

This clip brings back some seriously hazy memories. I'd say the research involved in the upcoming film Pineapple Express from the Judd Apatow hilarity machine was positively Method-like. Also, dig on James Franco getting deep into character. This is to Cheech and Chong's Nice Dreams as Tarantino's Death Proof was to Smokey and the Bandit II. The release date is a distant August 8th 2008 so hopefully memory loss will help keep this fresh. Inhale!
