This weekend GOING THE DISTANCE starring real-life couple Drew Barrymore and Justin “The Mac Guy” Long opens at theaters near you.
What happens when boy meets girl, they click, but then realize that one of them is leaving at the end of the summer to go back to grad school. Answer- they decide to be adults and just enjoy the ride as long as they can until summer finishes and then leave with a handshake and a hug. Of course, life is never ever that simple, they end up falling in love. In love, but in 2 different cities -- one in New York, the other in San Francisco. Can they somehow make their love work despite all this?
Admittedly, I will go out of my way NOT to see this movie. I probably will speed up in the car as we pass theaters showing this, just so my girlfriend has no clue that it’s playing anywhere nearby. There is a small chance, that when we try to see MACHETE this weekend, that she’ll notice that it’s playing in Cinema 2 right next door -- so if anyone sees me this weekend at the theater -- I want you to PROMISE me that you’ll keep quiet. If I come back Tuesday morning and I seem sluggish and non-responsive, you’ll all know why and it’ll be your faults. If I come in wearing an “I’m a Samantha” Sex & The City t-shirt, things have gone beyond wrong -- and I give you permission to pull the plug. I’ll be in a better place, trust me.
Anyone planning on seeing this? Anyone have any ideas on how to get out of seeing this?

Opening up this Labor Day Weekend is LONG AWAITED action smorgasbord MACHETE. Directed by genre king Robert Rodriguez of SPY KIDS, Predator 2010, Sin City, Grindhouse, From Dusk Till Dawn and Desperado fame -- and starring B-genre Superstar Danny Trejo as the titled character MACHETE -- this film will blow away action fans this fall. The film is overflowing with co-stars such as Jessica Alba, Robert DeNiro, Steven”Time to grease up my ponytail” Seagal, Jeff Fahey (of LOST fame, as well as a score of B-films to his credit), Michelle Rodriguez, Lindsay Lohan, Cheech Marin (yes, that Cheech Marin!).. and introducing Don Johnson. How could you not love a film that brags about introducing Don “Miami Vice” Johnson?
I could spend a few paragraphs describing the plot, but what’s the point? It’s just going to be an orgy of over-the-top crazy action and blood and guts and fun. This will be the film that Stallone’s THE EXPENDABLES promised to be. Trust me on this -- it will blow people away and make Danny Trejo the star his momma always knew he was.
And I believe that this is the first time that they made a film from a fake trailer. When that “trailer” appeared as a “coming attraction” in GRINDHOUSE, it was meant as a satire of the genre of B-films. Little did anybody know at the time, that a throwaway 2-minute bit -- would actually be better remembered than the film it came from.
If you can watch this trailer without your heart pounding, I’m not even going to let you see this film. I’m just sending you to the doctor for a check-up because apparently you have no pulse!
I’ve been waiting for this film since GRINDHOUSE came out. I’ll definitely be there.
You excited as I am?

Enter Will Farrell and Mark Wahlberg, two Hollywood Actors who hardly disappoint. Walberg’s has some odd movies under the belt like Renaissance Man (1994) where he appeared alongside Danny DeVito, The Basketball Diaries (1995) playing together with Leonardo DiCaprio and Boogie Nights (1997) where he stars alongside Burt Reynolds. The craziest role of these 3 movies is Boogie Nights where he plays the role of an adult dropout who turns into a porn star actor. But the movies that boosted his popularity and seem to have really made him are The Perfect Storm (2000), The Italian Job, Four Brothers, and The Departed.
Will Farrell’s funny roles in comedy films such as Elf (2003), Melinda and Melinda (2004), Starsky and Hutch (2004), Anchorman (2004) and Talladega Nights (2006) [the last two also directed by Adam McKay] have always been unforgettable, and he will surely bring a lot of humor in The Other Guys.
Peter Travis from the Rolling Stones magazine says “Sit back and laugh your ass off, The Other Guy is a riot.” It’s worth mentioning that Samuel L. Jackson’s in it, so is “The Rock” and beautiful Eva Mendez. So we’ll see if “The Other Guys” will be one of those movies where we will remember these actors positively or not tomorrow night!
Directed by: Adam McKay
Staring:
Mark Wahlberg, Will Ferrell, Samuel L. Jackson, Lindsay Sloane, Dwayne Johnson, Eva Mendes, Michael Keaton, Ray Stevenson, Steve Coogan, Craig Robinson, Paris Hilton, Anne Heche and Rob Riggle

Synopsis
Set in New York City, The Other Guys follows Detective Allen Gamble (Ferrell), a forensic accountant who’s more interested in paperwork than hitting the streets, and Detective Terry Hoitz (Wahlberg), who has been stuck with Allen as his partner ever since an embarrassing public incident with his quick trigger finger. Allen and Terry idolize the city’s top cops, Danson and Manzetti (Dwayne Johnson and Samuel L. Jackson), but when an opportunity arises for the Other Guys to step up, things don’t quite go as planned.
