If you were looking forward to Bill Murray's agent-lost-in-Afghanistan comedy Rock the Kasbah, you might want to stop now, as the reviews are in, and the reviews ain't good.
Directed by the Oscar-winning Barry Levinson (Good Morning Vietnam, Rain Man), and also featuring Zooey Deschanel, Bruce Willis and Kate Hudson, this should have been a comedy treat.
Alas, from the looks of things, it's distinctly unfunny, currently clocking in at 0% on Rotten Tomatoes. Here, then, are the kindest reviews so far...
The Guardian (Jordan Hoffman)
"The actor proves that even great talents can be unwatchable if they put their minds to it, in this weak comedy about a rock promoter let loose in Afghanistan... Murray isn't cute in this role, he's just annoying, and that's something he's rarely been before."

Through ten one hour long episodes, essentially using TV as a medium to explore a vast and epic journey through the Second World War that would simply be impossible to map on the big screen, and with Stephen E Ambrose’s critically acclaimed non-fiction book as source material and a huge cast representing a collective of real world heroes, one of the most ambitious storytelling exercises the small screen has ever mounted was brought to life. The result was much fanfare, both critically and among the masses, a recurring trope that continues to this day, and the fledgling start...

Danny Boyle's Isles of Wonder celebrates the British countryside and is infused with literary references – and a British Library exhibition also explores this idea of pastoral paradise
Stratford, Newham, meets Stratford-upon-Avon this July, and a line spoken by Caliban in The Tempest has emerged as the guiding spirit of Danny Boyle's Olympics opening ceremony: "Be not afeard. The isle is full of noises."
After Boyle's launch event last week, we now know that the stadium in Stratford is also to be full of cows, geese, and ducks (to say nothing of the three sheep dogs). It may say a lot about the country's anxiety for the future that the opening ceremony (or what we currently know of it) references not the white heat of digitally enabled tomorrows, but harks back to the earthly paradise of rural dreams; a vision of an eternal Britain that endures in the cycles...

Over the weekend, San Diego Comic-Con announced the programming schedule for Saturday and Sunday at this year's convention. Usually, Saturday is the most impressive day as it's the weekend and has the biggest amount of people coming into the area while Sunday is usually the most unexciting day as it's the final day of the event and everything is winding down. For 2011, each day is going in the opposite direction. Saturday's movie programming is very underwhelming, save for a few films like Snow White and the Huntsman and Francis Ford Coppola's Twixt, with more cool TV panels popping up than usual. Sunday is significantly better than usual, especially if you like TV, with Hall H panels on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Glee and more. Read about the highlights, with commentary and more after the jump. To be fair, most of these complaints stem from the fact that the...

Forget about the stylists and the floor length mirrors. When Bridget Moynahan glams up for red carpet events and Hollywood premieres, she turns to her own fashion consultant — her 3½-year-old son John Edward Thomas.
“My son does make comments when I dress up. I just wear my dress and he says, ‘You look pretty! That dress looks pretty,’” Moynahan, 39, told People at Wednesday’s Ann Taylor Fall 2011 Collection preview party in New York.
“I trust his opinions. He always gives nice, mature comments and I appreciate it. It’s more than I get from most people.”

Bridget Moynahan has insisted that she would never say anything negative about ex Tom Brady and his wife Gisele Bundchen in the press. In an interview with More, the actress - who split from Brady in December 2006 shortly before announcing that she was pregnant with their son - revealed that she maintains an amicable relationship with the couple for the sake of the now 3-year-old child John Edward Thomas. "I never made a comment about Gisele or Tom publicly," she said. "I have a relationship (more)...

Bridget Moynahan may not have always had a solid relationship with ex Tom Brady, but she's taking the high road when it comes to public statements.
The actress covers "More" magazine this March and spills on how she, Brady and Gisele Bundchen are working on the whole "big-happy-family" thing.
"I never made a comment about Gisele or Tom publicly," she says. "I have a relationship with these people on a daily basis. I'm raising a child, and it's public. The media creates these dramas, and that's not what's happening in my life."
Adding, "My son has two loving parents and an extended family, whether it's cousins or stepmothers or boyfriends. My son is surrounded by love."
Moynahan discovered she was pregnant with Brady's child after the couple split in December 2006, and recalls that those first days as a single mom weren't easy.
"Every time my dad mentioned he had to go [home to Massachusetts], I'd start crying,...

They’ve had rocky patches, but Bridget Moynahan says she and Tom Brady — along with his wife Gisele Bündchen – have managed to create a stable family for their son, 3½-year-old John Edward Thomas.
“I never made a comment about Gisele or Tom publicly,” Moynahan, who graces the March cover of More, tells the magazine. “I have a relationship with these people on a daily basis. I’m raising a child, and it’s public. The media creates these dramas, and that’s not what’s happening in my life.”
And, she adds, that the blended family is going well.

Proving that even infantile humor can be funny, "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy" does make you laugh even if you hate yourself for doing so. A creation of former "Saturday Night Live" colleagues, the comedy plays like an extended skit with bits of improvisation and several slightly extended sequences.
Will Ferrell co-wrote the script with former "SNL" head writer Adam McKay. Ferrell plays the title role, while McKay makes his directing debut. If Ferrell's recent screen successes -- "Elf" and "Old School" -- mean anything, this broadly played (to put it mildly) antic comedy should become a hit with the young crowd.
The film does tackle an interesting subject -- the invasion of the male-dominated TV newsroom by women journalists in the 1970s. Formerly a place where anchormen, male reporters and a mostly male crew smoked, sipped Scotch and generally exuded testosterone, this clubby atmosphere was shattered by female reporters and eventually -- to the men's shock and chagrin -- anchorwomen.
Ferrell stars as Ron Burgundy, the top-rated anchorman in the San Diego market during the '70s, whose wardrobe fits his name and whose journalistic talents are nonexistent. What he is is a news reader, a voice disconnected from the brain. (He is notorious for reading anything that appears on a teleprompter, which will lead to his ruination.)
His "sidekicks" are Champ Kind (David Koechner), outfitted with a cowboy hat and a good-ol'-boy sensibility; Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd), a field reporter with a flair for the fatuous; and weather guy Brick Talmand (Steve Carell), who is as thick as a ... well, a brick.
In the name of "diversity," news producer Ed Harken (the always hilarious Fred Willard) recruits newswoman Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate) for the news team. Her very presence provokes conflicted instincts among the men. The entire news team tries to bed her, with disastrous results for all except Ron. But when a traffic mishap (involving a uproarious cameo by Jack Black) prevents Ron from making the evening newscast one fateful day, Veronica replaces him and, despite the best efforts of the rest of the male team to sabotage her, is an instant success. So the fur flies as the tomcats howl and scratch in bitter frustration.
The key to the comedy is that Ferrrell and McKay see TV newsrooms of the '70s as kindergartens. The high jinks and attempts to undermine colleagues are akin to children fighting over the sandbox. This bright comic idea extends to a "rumble" among all the male San Diego news teams, which features achingly funny cameos by, among others, Luke Wilson, Ben Stiller and, as a PBS newsman, Tim Robbins.
Ferrell and Applegate make appealing foes whose sexual attraction only fuels their acrimonious rivalry. Ferrell's suavity -- for the '70s, mind you -- barely covers up his oafishness, while Applegate's pretty-in-pastel glamour barely disguises her predatory instincts. All the other actors have amusing moments in the broadest, most cartoonish sense.
The behind-the-camera team has goofy fun with the era's truly awful hair and fashion styles, equally bad music and monochromatic, bare-bones TV news desks. Of course, the main fun comes at the expense of the era's male chauvinism that now plays like such quaint nonsense.
