Get Him to the Greek
Get Him to the Greek reunites Jonah Hill and Russell Brand with Forgetting Sarah Marshall director Nicholas Stoller in the story of a record company executive with three days to drag an uncooperative rock legend to Hollywood for a comeback concert. The comedy is the latest film from producer Judd Apatow (The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Funny People).
Damn good Television #2
The first episode of the second season aired Sunday night in the UK. It has gone from being superb to something even better. Now we know the characters we’re thrown into the deep end with several plot threads running at once. Despite this, I feel like I can keep track far better than I could with the first season.
Interesting new additions to the cast show just how good it is – William Hurt appears as Daniel Purcell, a man who has discovered his company has caused deaths and is an old acquaintance of Patty’s (Glenn Close). Timothy Oliphant Wes Krulik, a vengeful member of the support group Ellen Parsons has started going to. Also, Ted Danson returns as the spineless Arthur Frobisher. It’d be silly to take any of these characters at face value if season one of Damages and its twisty-turny plot are anything to go by.
