A Comedic High With Your Highness

Bringing sexy back to medieval times, Natalie Portman, James Franco, Zooey Deschanel, and Danny McBride look hilarious in this raunchy comedy. If you thought Natalie Portman was a little crazy in Black Swan, you'll think she's bad ass with a British accent where she shoots arrows, and even gets nude in this Universal Pictures film. In case you were wondering how these Oscar worthy cast this film began production in the summer of 2009 in Ireland.     
The storyline: "Throughout history, tales of chivalry have burnished the legends of brave, handsome knights who rescue fair damsels, slay dragons and conquer evil. But behind many a hero is a good-for-nothing younger brother trying just to stay out of the way of those dragons, evil and trouble in general..."
This film is the conventional comedy in the unconventional setting.
Your Highness opens in theaters April 8th.

To Cure Your Oscar Hangover...

The Fashion Police have aired at least twenty times, and James Franco can thank Charlie Sheen that he hasn't had much media attention for being a horrible Oscar host. The 83rd annual Academy Awards have passed, and the film industry looks forward to a new year of excitement. To cure your thirst for more Oscar here's some movie updates: 

The press is speculating that Justin Bieber's Never Say Never was so well received by critics that it could very well be nominated in the documentary category in awards circuits next season. Although this may sound highly unlikely to seasoned analysts, Hollywood has been abuzz about the Biebs' production since its release.

The Weinstein Company, responsible for distributing The King's Speech, Rabbit Hole, and Blue Valentine, to name a few, has picked up Miley Cyrus' latest flick, So Undercover. The film, co-starring Jeremy Piven and Mike O'Malley is about an FBI agent (Cyrus) who goes undercover in a sorority. The film is set to release this October.

The Ten Reasons You Should Watch the Oscars...

1. Anne Hathaway and James Franco are hosting.
They're actors, it's not like Alec Baldwin or anything.

2. You may see a star on stage accepting an Academy Award before he/she is born.
 Oscar- Possible name for Natalie Portman's child?

3. Facebook may be unblocked at your workplace by Monday morning if The Social Network wins big.

You have been trying to convince your employer for months that Facebook has work related, intellectual value. Here's your chance.

4. Jesse Eisenberg does Mark Zuckerberg better than Zuckerberg can do himself. 
Zuckerberg is worth billions. He'd be worth trillions if he could talk as fast as Eisenberg.

5. If you can say a few words about The King's Speech, your friends might finally believe all that money you spent on college tuition was worth it.
It sounds so intelligent. Start talking about Colin Firth and tell them you're half British.

6. If Inception wins, you'll learn that cinematography is film lingo for the trick that made that movie look "freaking awesome."

Makeup is the reason you still have a crush on Leo.

7. There's a good chance Annette Bening will come dressed as a swan and Natalie Portman will bring Mila Kunis as her "date."
Darren Aronofsky will be directing this edition of "Best Actress Showdown."

8. You're ashamed to admit that you still haven't watched The Hurt Locker, and need to redeem yourself. 
You and the rest of the general populace had never heard of Kathryn Bigelow's prize winning picture. Just remember, no matter how much you cried during Toy Story 3, it won't win best picture.

9. Girl on girl action rules the nods.

This year's nominees have lots of girls kissing girls. Awkward to watch with your parents.


10. Oprah is presenting.
"Annnd the Oooooscar goooess tooooo..."
