I haven’t watch this yet but I just found it and wanted to get it up for everyone to see. “Red Band” means the trailer is R rated so if you’re young or easily offended or at work, you’ve been warned. I’ll update once I watch it.

What do we think?

More on the movie here, here, and here.

Do you know how you can tell it’s been a slow time for How I Met Your Mother news? Normally I wouldn’t post about the HD release of an early 90s cult indie film that happens to star Neil Patrick Harris.

The film, called “Animal Room“, stars Neil Patrick Harris and Matthew Lillard. It will be released by Vanguard Cinema on HD DVD this April 22. Some more info, via highdefdigest:

Starring Neil Patrick Harris and Matthew Lillard, the dark crime thriller ‘Animal Room’ saw only a limited theatrical release back in 1995 but has since amassed a small cult following on video. First released on standard-def DVD back in 2001, Vanguard has set an April 22 street date for the HD DVD.

I’ve never heard of this movie before today. It doesn’t sound very good to me though. Has anyone seen it? I found a montage of clips on youtube (see below) to job the memory.

Hopefully the strike will end so we can start talking about new episodes of the show again.

Broken Lizard, the comedy troupe behind such fine cinema as Super Troopers and Beerfest, has a new movie in production called “Broken Lizard’s The Slammin’ Salmon”. I smell Oscar…

Alongside Michael Clark Duncan, the movie will star Morgan Fairchild. Lance Henriksen, Vivica A. Fox, and Cobie Smulders. That’s right, our favorite Canadian will be on the big screen.

The movie is set in a Miami restaurant owned by Cleon “Slammin’” Salmon (Michael Clarke Duncan), a brutal former heavyweight boxing champion who institutes a competition to see which waiter can earn the most money in one night. The winner stands to gain $10,000, while the loser will endure a beating at the hands of the champ.

What do we think? I’ve never seen any of these movies so I can’t really speak to their themes or style. I’ll probably check it out just to support Smulders though.

There are a lot of videos about the writers strike deliberations. This is the first one I’ve seen with Josh Radnor however. He’s got his breakup beard and does not appreciate puppets.

Warning: this trailer is restricted and has naughty language and some nudity. There’s another trailer thats a bit cleaner (and, to me, better) here.

What do we think? I’ve actually never seen the first one. It looks like Neil Patrick Harris is a riot in the movies though. I’m a big John Cho fan so I might have to check this out.

Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay comes out on April 25, 2008.
