TYLER PERRY CONFUSES ME.

12.17.08 Written by Vince Mancini

I… I have a confession:  I don’t get Tyler Perry movies.  This is the trailer for Madea Goes to Jail and I have no idea what the hell is going on in it.  It looks like a made-for-TV Hallmark movie about folks struggling-ta-make-ends-meet, except there’s a fish-out-of-water comedy about a cross-dressing guy in a fat suit embedded in it.  And then the cross-dressing fat suit guy starts preaching at one point, and then Dr. Phil shows up and then…  Is it just me?  Does any of this make sense to you?  It’s like a mash-up of Pursuit of Happyness and Big Momma’s House.  Reinforcing your faith and cheap laughs, together at last.

ERIC BANA WANTS TO MARRY A CAR

08.06.08 Written by Vince Mancini

Eric Bana, whom you may remember as the Hulk before Ed Norton, or even better, as Chopper, is making his directorial debut with Love the Beast.

…a documentary about his 25-year love affair with a 1974 Ford Falcon Coupe.

Bana describes "Beast," which took him two years to shoot, as "an unexpectedly emotional journey" in which he explores the importance of friends, hobbies and what it means to live life to the fullest.

Doc includes cameos from talkshow host Dr. Phil and Brit auto-aficionado Jeremy Clarkson ("Top Gear"). [Variety]

Bana recently screened the film for a group of his old mates from high school who described it as "truly fantastic.  And surprisingly touching.  *cough* queer *cough, cough*"
