Multiplex Madness: The New Adventures of Stifler and McLovin

Posted by Jeff in , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Welcome back to Ye Olde Multiplex Madness, or as we like to call it, That Column Jeff Gets To Sometimes But If He Doesn’t, No Big Deal Because We Weren’t Exactly Waiting On Tenterhooks To Hear What He Had To Say About High School Musical 3.  Yes, with that “tenterhooks” reference, I have officially become Dave Barry.

New Releases

Role Models

(RT: 73%) It’s usually not a good sign for a film when two of your lead actors are better known as their high-school comedy goofus character nicknames than by their dignified, three-part real names.  Still, the Adventures of Stifler, McLovin, and the brother from Clueless are actually, honestly supposed to be pretty good – director David Wain (The State, Stella) seems to have won most critics over.  Featuring the omnipresent and delectable Elizabeth Banks doesn’t hurt either.

More new releases, something better to do, and Ebert after the jump. Keep reading

OMG TV: McCainiacs unite!

8:00 PM EST – Pennsylvania Primary Results (Everywhere)

We’re finally out of that six week purgatory where instead of actual votes by, you know, voters, we had stupid allegations about people’s pastors and appearances by candidates on WWE Monday Night Raw.  The nominee is decided tonight*!

10:00 – John Oliver: Terrifying Times (Comedy Central)

The previews make it look like he touches on some pretty well-worn political subjects, but then again, it’s John Oliver!  His accent is hilarious!

10:00 – Boston Legal (ABC)

Alan Shore goes before the Supreme Court for some reason or another.  Question is, does this lay the groundwork for another David E. Kelley spinoff, Chief Justice William Shatner?

Late Night

Helen Hunt is on Letterman promoting Twister 2 (or would that be 2ister?), Julia Louis-Dreyfus is on Leno promoting The Old Adventures of New Elaine (I think I made that ‘joke’ in January), Brad Garrett makes Kimmel look intelligent, Andy Richter is on Conan (no, it’s not a rerun from 1995), and Jack “Kenneth from 30 Rock” McBrayer is on Ferguson.

* Not tonight.
