Entertainment News This Week: Adrien Brody to play Schwarzenegger in new Predators movie, where are the clones in Resident Evil 4, Marlon Wayans to play Richard Pryor and would someone please stop Terry Gilliam from chasing windmills.
Our Feature Reviews: This week David, Dave and Josh review the new Rian Johnson film ‘The Brothers Bloom’ and David and Mirren review Nora Ephron’s new film ‘Julie & Julia’. ‘The Brothers Bloom’ is well received by all but Josh had a few reservations. General consensus, not as sharp as Rian Johnson’s first film ‘Brick’ but still a good film. The female characters are the best thing in it. David and Mirren both really liked ‘Julie & Julia’, especially Meryl Streep’s performance as Julia Child. Very good date film.
This episode carries an explicit tag due to frequent coarse language.
