Let it never be said that I’m too highfalutin to laugh at a good poop joke. The problem with Vacation is that to get to the good ones, you also have to go swimming through all the bad. Literally. As in there is literally a scene in this movie which features a family swimming in poop. And the sloppy torrent …
You don’t get a classier caliber of actor than Bill Murray. The guy is charming, funny, and can act his socks off (yet has never won an Oscar – rigged MUCH?)

That’s pretty much been the go-to feeling over the upcoming Ghostbusters reboot so far, starring Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon,Leslie Jones and Chris Hemsworth.

Since making a gigantic splash (in a airplane toilet) with the female-led R-rated Bridesmaids, filmmaker Paul Feig has been having a blast playing up and twisting around genre conventions, particularly when it comes to preconceived gender roles. His most recent example is the laugh-out-loud funny Spy, in which frumpy motormouth Melissa McCarthy ends up being a better action hero superspy …
The other day when we mentioned the names of directors on the shortlist to direct the new Spider-Man movie, two of the names belonged to the writers-also-turned-first-time-directors duo of John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein (Horrible Bosses, The Incredible Burt Wonderstone). Whether or not they’re right for a Spider-Man is still totally debateable, but when it comes to a reboot/sequel …
As the saying goes: the problem with reaching the top is that the only place left to go is down. Turns out that’s not entirely true.
