Four new posters showcasing Horrible Bosses

The new comedy, Horrible Bosses

Thanks to JoBlo, we get to see the four new posters for Horrible Bosses.  Just a few days ago I posed the trailer, and I loved it.  The cast is great, the story seems simple enough, and the comedy will definitely deliver.  Check out the three pairs of employee/bosses below!

Kevin Spacey plays Jason Bateman's boss

Jennifer Aniston plays Charlie Day's boss

Colin Farrell plays Jason Sudeikis' boss

Horrible Bosses trailer and poster; ever wanted to kill your boss?

Check out this comedy gem. The film is Horrible Bosses, and stars a pretty amazing cast. It features Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis as three friends who hate their bosses. Their bosses are played by Kevin Spacey, Jennifer Aniston and Colin Farrell respectively.  Check out the trailer below and read my thoughts after.

So, looks good right?  I have to say, my favorite boss is played by Colin Farrell.  Maybe it's the hair or just his demeanor in general, but I thought he looked hilarious.  Jennifer Aniston's character shows promise, but I think she will most likely just be eye candy for us male viewers (if you couldn't tell by the trailer).  Spacey looks like he will be a fitting 'horrible boss' as well.  

The friends are interesting casting choices.  If you read this blog, you know Batman is one of my favorites; but I'm interested in seeing Day and Sudeikis in this.  They look like they have great material to work with and will hopefully deliver.  I'll post more as it's released!

Quickie: Bounty Hunter movie poster

This movie has made more headlines in tabloids than real newspapers. It stars Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler. Does the plot really matter? No, I didn't think so. I'll end it here and let you see the poster now.

Tony: Management DVD review

We've seen a lot of Jennifer Aniston in the last year or so, but not like we saw her in Management. The movie was released on DVD this week, and we're carrying on our new trend of review movies we missed in the theater. It stars Aniston of course, Steve Zahn and Woody Harrelson. Zahn plays a guy working at his parents motel. He is the handy-man who fixes everything from lights to toilets. His life has never amounted to much, and working at the motel has really put a damper on his love life.

In comes the beautiful Aniston, an art buyer/seller. She's just passing through Zahn's little city in Arizon, and the real fun begins. Zahn goes on a nationwide chase around the country to be with Aniston. We don't focus on plot here at AtD, that's on you to watch the movie; here we'll discuss opinions.

Steve Zahn is one of my favorite comedic actors. He really is an under-appreciated actor in Hollywood. Check out Saving Silverman by the way. In Management, he has a fine line to walk. He has to appear in love, infatuated, in lust, sincere, without looking like a creepy stalker. The writer/director, Stephen Belber has a lot to do with this. The way he wrote the character was brilliant. We want him to win, we want him to get the girl!

The girl is of course Aniston and she is a lost soul, but on a different level than Zahn's character. She is successful, she is beautiful, but she feels insufficient to anyone in her life. She doesn't know her self-worth. She always puts others ahead of her own happiness. She actually spends her nights with homeless men. And through the course of the movie, you see major changes to both characters.

Also in the movie is Woody Harrelson, who is great. He plays an ex-punk rocker/ yogurt store entrepreneur. Aniston doesn't want to be with Zahn and decides to get married to Harrelson instead. Another supporting actor worth mentioning is James Hiroyuki Liao, he plays Zahns best friend in the movie and is great!

The movie is very good, but it could have been great. The actors are enough to carry the movie through its negatives, but they are still there. Zahn walks the line between lovable loser and creepy stalker. By the end of the film, he is a strong, confident, independent man who no longer needs his parents to take care of him. I liked the movie very much. I would not recommend anyone buying this, it is definitely not a classic of any kind, but it is worth renting. See it, and tell us what you thought. After all, this is a great place to Agree to Disagree.

Tony: Love Happens review

Yes, it happened; I watched a bonafide "chick flick". Ready for the crazy part? I liked it! Love Happens stars Aaron Eckhart, Jennifer Aniston, Dan Fogler and Martin Sheen. Aaron Eckhart plays a motivational speaker of sorts, and is morning the loss of his wife. He puts on seminars at various cities to help people deal with the loss of their loved ones. Aniston plays the free-spirited, small business owner, love interest. One thing I must say from the beginning, the film was marketed all wrong.

This is not a romantic comedy. Yes, there is romance, and yes, there is some comic relif (thanks to Fogler). But the reality is, this movie is a character study more than anything. The film dives deep into the soul of a man who lost the love of his life, and how he deals with that. Eckhart is amazing as usual, and Aniston plays her role very well; she has to be nurturing, and persistent in helping Eckhart deal with his loss. The movie felt real, it felt like this is something that happens all the time.

The movie takes place in Seattle, Washington. It's a rare occasion when the setting becomes a character, but in this film it does. The on again, off again rain plays to the tone and mood of the film. Seattle's landmarks are all in the film. I especially like the hookah bar that is shown in the film!

Martin Sheen plays Eckharts father-in-law; and is very good in the few scenes he has on screen. As I mentioned before, Fogler is very funny just when he needs to be in the film. He plays Eckhart's long time friend/ business manager. John Carroll Lynch plays a man who's entire life went south after the loss of his little boy. He resists Eckharts advice at first, but has an amazing transformation throughout the movie, it brought tears to my eyes, and I'm man enough to admit it. All the characters were very interesting in their own ways, but it's really Eckhart that carries the movie.

Overall, I would say this is a must-see. I've read some other reviews, and I understand where they're concerns come from, but it's a case study more than a romantic comedy. The marketing is all wrong, I would have sold it as a drama more than anything. Go watch the movie and tell us what you thought, this is a blog, not an up-tight critical site.
