Observe and Blog

A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to attend an advanced screening of Seth Rogen's new movie, Observe and Report. While I definitely thought the movie had some pretty funny moments (Anna Faris as blonde bimbo Brandy was hysterical), I was left feeling a bit underwhelmed. The movie was a lot darker than I had expected, and the random violent action scenes seemed a little displaced. But after reading Lisa Scwarzbaum's extremely positive review of the film in this week's Entertainment Weekly, I might have to see it again. The trailer, as well as a great interview with Seth Rogen in which he compares Observe and Report to a comedic Scorsese movie, are posted below:

Even though there are no Jews on the island...

Earlier in the day, Michael Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly posted an amazing website on his Twitter account that compares the television show Lost to the Jewish Holiday, Passover. Being an avid Lost-watcher, as well as being one of the chosen people, I have to say that the similarities are truly uncanny. My favorite is probably the comparison between the Smoke Monster and the Ten Commandments. There may be no Jews on the island, but we can sure as hell bet God is definitely a fan of Lost.
