Is it just me or does the teaser poster for The Rocker look a lot like the posters for Judd Apatow’s The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up?

The Rocker follows the story of Robert “Fish” Fishman, the drummer for an eighties hair band.  He’s living the rock n’ roll dream… until he is kicked out of [...]

Katherine Heigl is a hypocrite. There I said it. Heigl bashed Knocked Up in an interview with Vanity Fair:
“It was hard for me to love [Apatow's] movie” because it’s “a little sexist…it paints the women as shrews, as humorless and uptight, and it paints the men as goofy, fun-loving guys.”

We got the chance to see Judd Apatow’s Knocked Up about a week ago. And while we’re not able to post a review until the date of release, let me say that said review will not be negative. I actually haven’t heard a negative thing about this film. Everyone loves it, guys, girls, even aliens [...]

40 Year Old Virgin is the best comedy film of the last five years (on second thought, Borat might also have a chance at the thrown, but for the sake of argument let’s say it’s Virgin). Judd Apatow knows how to do comedy, and underrated comedy geniuses Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd have returned for [...]

I’ve admired Judd Apatow’s work even since Heavyweights in 1995. I’ve followed his career from The Cable Guy (which I loved) to the short lived Freaks and Geeks television show, which Apatow wrote and produced. Sure, Celtic Pride was really, really, REALLY BAD. And that’s coming from a Bostonian who had friends in the movie. [...]
