It ties your stomach in knots, then playfully pulls the string to release the tension with a laugh.
“Really Really,” at Arlington’s Signature Theatre through March 25th, is both a stinging indictment of the “Me Generation,” and, perhaps, a wagging finger at those who raised them.
There are no heroes in “Really Really,” only people doing what they have to do to get ahead. Is this the inevitable result of kids who grew up with Real Housewives, Survivors and people who stop being polite and start living in the Real World? Or is it the fault of their parents, who made sure that every kid on the team got a trophy, whether they deserved it or not?

If you’re the kind of person who thinks, “Oh, that could never happen in real life” while watching movies, then “This Means War” is going to have you drawing battle lines for two hours. Better to just accept that this there isn’t a single realistic second in this Rom-Com/Action mash-up

Kyle Osborne with Jim Gaffigan
Here’s a message from my buddy, comedian/actor Jim Gaffigan:
Dear Internet Friends,
Inspired by the brilliant Louis CK, I have decided to debut my all-new
hour stand-up special on my website, Jimgaffigan.com. Beginning
sometime in April, “Jim Gaffigan: Mr. Universe” will be available
exclusively for download for only $5. A dollar from each download
will go directly to The Bob Woodruff Foundation; a charity dedicated
to serving injured Veterans and their families.
I am confident that the low price of my new comedy special and the
fact that 20% of each $5 download will be donated to this very noble
cause will prevent people from stealing it. Maybe I’m being naive, but I
trust you guys. Besides who would want the karma of stealing money
from wounded Veterans? Come on you guys. How dare you even think about it? I know I am taking a risk here. People I respect have advised me to take the safer, more traditional route with the premiere of the special. However, I am incredibly motivated by the courage of Louie to offer his fans direct access for a low price. Buyers of my special can be assured that their money will go directly to feeding and raising my four children instead of a giant corporation. I will self-produce a high quality special with all new material that will be incredibly easy to download and then you will own it. Forever. For $5. Roughly the price of five packs of Ramen Noodles. And believe me my special is going to be much better than five packs of disgusting Ramen Noodles. Gross.Not going with a big corporation means I wont have any advertising. There will be no bells and whistles or billboards but maybe you can help. If you like the special, tell you friends to download it too. That’s the best kind of advertising anyway. I must admit that I have not felt this excited and nervous since I first tried stand up over 100 years ago. It’s humbling to take a risk that you are not sure will work. You don’t know if a joke will bomb unless you try it.
If no one buys the special or if lots of people steal it then I suppose I will lose a lot of money and have egg on my face. But then again I
have four kids so I am always losing money and usually have egg or some kind of food on my face so it might just feel normal.
Let me know what you think.

Jim

Madonna On The Set Of W.E.
W.E. is not as bad as you’ve heard and not as good as you’d hope.
It helps to have low, low expectations before seeing “W.E.” (as I did, based on one of the lowest Rotten Tomatoes scores in recent memory) but it helps even more to know the historical background.
What I did enjoy was the unabashed “Fashion Porn.” Madonna, with her own lifetime of striking the pose, knows exactly what she wants from her directors of lighting and photography.
How does she fare as the director and co-writer? Read my full review here: Kyle On Examiner.com

“Journey 2: The Mysterious Island” is not so much “good” as it is “good enough” for a Saturday matinee with the family.
Is it an accident that Vanessa Hudgens’s purple tank is about 4 inches too short, leaving a wide open view of her bare midriff in every shot? Or is it weird that I couldn’t stop noticing? Either way, it’s one strong point of the film.

“Project X” follows three seemingly anonymous high school seniors as they attempt to finally make a name for themselves. Their idea is innocent enough: let’s throw a party that no one will forget… but nothing could prepare them for this party. Word spreads quickly as dreams are ruined, records are blemished and legends are born. “Project X” is a warning to parents and police everywhere.

P.Nokio: A Hip-Hop Musical re-imagines the classic Pinocchio story in Hip-Hopia, an enchanted land where people speak in rhyme, break-dance instead of walk, and listen to birds sing and chirp with the precision and rhythm of turntables and beat machines. In this world premiere commissioned by Imagination Stage and written by hip-hop theatre artist and playwright Psalmayene 24, who also performs the title role, the fairytale is updated for today’s audiences.
G.Petto is a designer of game characters, and P.Nokio is one of his designs that magically comes to life. P.Nokio has raw talent to rap and break-dance. Armed with the sacred “Book of Rhymes,” G.Petto sends the boy to The Old School to master style, originality, swagger, and the ways to use hip-hop to help the community. However, en route to school, P.Nokio finds a fork in the road leading to “the way of fun and trouble” mighty tempting.

Rolling Stone Magazine reports that:
Adam Lambert is reportedly singing with Queen, replacing the American Idol winner’s own late idol, Freddie Mercury. Lambert broke the news to the U.K.’s Daily Star.
“The intention is to pay tribute to Freddie and the band by singing some fucking great songs,” he said. “It’s to keep the music alive for the fans and give it an energy that Freddie would’ve been proud of.” Queen previously toured with former Bad Company singer Paul Rodgers taking Mercury’s place.

Looks like “Chronicle” is topping the box office for Super Bowl weekend with 22 million, barely squeaking past Daniel Radcliffe in “The Woman In Black.”
My colleague, Dustin Putman, didn’t just like “Chronicle”…he loved it. I like when someone is particularly passionate about a film, so let’s read Dustin’s review to get a good take on why this movie turned him on, and inspired throngs of moviegoers this past weekend.

Vanessa Hudgens said yes to “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island” for one simple reason: Michael Caine. “Any chance you get to work with a legend, the legend being Michael Caine, you take it,” Hudgens says. “To be on the same screen as him is such an honor. You’ve got to work with the greats to learn from the greats.”

“The Innkeepers” is earning some praise for its lack of gore, but it’s the lack of content that left me struggling to stay awake. Even the music sounds like it’s been pulled from an after school TV movie soundtrack. A movie that might’ve been about bff’s planning a party, not about haunted hotels.

“The Grey” with Liam Neeson won the weekend box office, and earned plaudits from all corners of the critical universe…but not from me.
What starts out as a classy, enigmatic film ultimately ends in a formulaic, paint by numbers, trudge through frozen tundra and icy clichés. Liam Neeson’s voice overs are right up there with Morgan Freeman’s, but this movie’s final frame moved one woman in the theater to SCREAM the perfect one sentence review. Find out what she said, and read my review at:
